BF2S Forums Battlefield 3 - Main Thread

yeah, they seem to rotate to small ones once in awhile, prob your 16 and 32 man size maps. Kid lacks patience is all.

The infantry gameplay is bad. The maps are terrible. Jets are complete shit. They even have "perks" and a hardcore mode, how much more can it scream out cod.
Movements are slow and clunky, the whole thing is too slow and wannabe realistic.

Snipers are completely useless, scope sway sucks, scope glare sucks, the bullets fire like magic bean bags with ridiculous bullet drop, and you stand out like a sore thumb to everyone with a giant orange marker painted on you. 1v1 sniping at range is hilarious, you can just strafe their bullet it's just a giant glowing ball going 2mph.

Spotting is bad, it's too laggy and you can't spot unless you're right on the pixel, and what's with the heavy indian accent?

The minimap is useless, and it randomly zooms in all the time.

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't see shit on this game either. I've turned the brightness right down on my monitor to reduce the glare, and it's still so bad that I was literally running directly towards someone in the middle of the road about 5m away, and couldn't see him.

I don't see why they've gone for the realism thing, I think BF2 had the right mix. Jets and helis don't bounce off the ground in real life, players also don't spawn in real life. I come straight from BF2 skipping the BC games, I was just expecting it to be much better, it feels like I'm playing Quake with ARMA controls.

There's no learning curve to this game, apart from learning the maps. Dogfights in jets are plain boring and annoying with the inability to see anything, and IO combat... I might as well play call of duty as it's probably better in that department.

Edit- no doubt I'll still play the game though

Lot to be said for that.

there may be a 2nd peak but I highly doubt we'll see another "BF2".

It's no BF2 and I don't think any Battlefield game released will ever be. It's kinda like the Cell saga in Dragon Ball Z; you knew DBZ wouldn't get any better than that saga but you hoped and hoped anyways and got disappointed with everything that followed. Or Michael Jordan when he returned to play for the Wizards in 2003; you knew he most likely wouldn't top what he did with the Bulls but you hoped and hoped anyways and got disappointed.

Everything has a peak, and I think the BF Franchise hit it's peak with BF2 tbh. Like COD4 for the Call of Duty Series.

lol. most cod players consider cod1 to be the 'peak' of the call of duty series. maybe cod2, at a stretch.

perhaps don't talk about games you know nothing about?

There's no denying that COD4 Modern Warfare was when the Call of Duty series took off in popularity.

According to the Battlelog forums, most of them hate B2K's Conquest Assault mode. Most of them can't get their heads around the fact that you have to play the objective instead of relying on a spawn point to keep your team alive.

nope, you're still wrong. on console maybe, but that's because cod4 was the first major cod-franchise console game (herp derp lets not count 3). so of course in terms of raw numbers, it had more players. did you play cod1? cod2? were you a part of the pc gaming community? did you follow any of the professional fps scenes back then? i know the answer to all those questions is "no".

fyi even when cod4 was in its pc gaming prime, call of duty 2 still had as many active servers/players. it kept a huge active community for many, many years after the game was officially 'abandoned' by the devs.

also lol at calling cod1 and cod2 "ww2 rehashes". they were the best ww2 fps games ever done, period. you clearly didn't play them. stop talking about stuff you know nothing about. you didn't experience it, so stop make statements as if you have the knowledge or qualification to do so. cod1 DID "make the series", because it was one of the first team-based shooters to ever have a major, mainstream competitive scene. cod1 was massive. you just don't know what you're talking about. mong.

and cod2 wasn't a better game than cod1. cod1 really was the huge takeoff and was the game that birthed cod's credibility as a serious competitive game and an excellent mainstream/pub-server shooter. cod2 just rolled on from its success: most of its players and teams were people migrating from cod1, which they played (and loved) religiously.

i love when roc puts his "experienced fps pro" hat on and talks utter shit and makes himself look stupid
