So the conclusion is... BF3 sucks balls and I made the correct decision to not purchase that turd, while all you suckers wasted your money?

meh its not that bad.

Simple question. You have BF2 and BF3 sitting in front of you, Both have your favourite server setups/maps etc actively being played from the specific games with 1 spot left to fill. Which do you choose?

Disclaimer: If you're playing with friends then they can join you in either game.

I stopped playing bf2 a long time ago.
I enjoy the infantry combat in bf3, i enjoy the tank combat in bf3 and i enjoy heli combat in bf3.
None of them are perfect, i know. But none of them were perfect in bf2.

If it's such a no brainer. Then EA/DICE have managed to make a game which is not even as good as one made 6-7 years ago, and not just for its time, but also for being a direct competitor. With all it's bugs, imbalances, flaws, glitches, 7 year old graphics and the removal of the novelty factor as well. That's is quite and accomplishment, and not in a good way.

It also means everyone who agrees with you (and I suspect a vast majority of BF2 players would), have wasted their money to get something inferior to what they already owned or could have purchased for a fraction of the price. It's not dissimilar to owning a 2005 BMW and going, you know what I think I'll trade that in for a 2011 KIA cause you know they're really not 'that' bad.

But that's all in the past, Now what you should be doing, is stopping playing BF3, uninstalling it, and origin, closing down the servers reinstalling BF2, downloading your favourite mods, repopulating the few existing bf2 servers and hiring more as they fill and send EA/DICE a message that their current gaming direction is not where you feel it should be, but to look back to their roots of 2005 to the last decent game they produced, with the implicit arguement that any future games that are not up to scratch will not see one cent of your money.


If you keep accepting mediocrity and spending money on shit they that's all you will ever get in the future. If you keep claiming 'it doesn't suck that much' you will never ever get something that really doesn't suck. If companies like EA and Activision can put out cookie cutter shit every years and make millions of dollars profit what incentive have they got to make anything else?

bf3 isn't really a good game though, is it? it barely even supports competitive play.

Well that's where we disagree, I don't think it's a good game. It's a average game dressed up in a pretty frock. And that pretty frock is blindingly obnoxious when ever you try to focus on the details.

Uhmm....no?
I spent the money for bf3, i like it and i'm gonna keep playing it.
The main reason i might go back to bf2 is just to have some nice rounds on Pr, but thats about it.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others have to uninstall it and bitch about it everyday.
We fucking know all of you hate the game, bitching about it everyday in every single post won't change anything.
