The only thing I really miss is Special Forces with its night maps & night vision, tear gas & gas masks, flashbangs, ziplines and grappling hooks.
Instead of hundreds of new weapon unlocks, I would have loved to see some of these tools, even if they barely had any use.
But hey, so have half the weapons that I didn't even have equipped longer than a few minutes.

I would like to see Battlefield ease-of-use (and universe) in a game with the scale of Planetside 2. Imagine planning a massive paradrop with a bunch of other players. Awesome.

I've noticed the same thing. I just got the game and I have all of 13 hours into it. I logged on to a noobs only fly maps server to try out the jets and I end up getting repeatedly destroyed by level 80+ players with all the percs. I expected to get owned a bit but it seems futile at this point.

With the jets, you don't need unlocks to dominate.

The only unlocks I use are Stealth and Rockets - both are accessible early on. I think flares come standard, now (Wasn't the case when I played it).

The rest is all skill.

Choppers will win with unlocks against other choppers, definitely, though. I feel all other vehicle fights can be won through skill over unlocks.

I haven't put to much time into yet, maybe I just need to get used to it. I just remember getting repeatedly owned by high level guys using percs I don't have access to yet.

Major issue I find while flying is that your countermeasures vary extremely in their effectiveness. Sometimes you flare just after the missile launch, you still get hit. Conversely, I've fired at an enemy helo that dumped its flares into the ground, ten seconds after the flares were gone, and still got  a miss. ECM does much the same. I've fired it early to no avail, firing late does little more than delay the impact. Do it to an enemy plane however and the missile either fails to lock for the next twenty seconds or goes shooting off into the ground. There's vast inconsistency in how your CM or missiles perform. They should really bring back Below Radar to work against ground AA and Stingers/Iglas and increase the lock or reload time of the latter, because at times its almost impossible to fly.

All this modern technology and game companies are still afraid of making forests that are anything BUT pathetically sparse.

Armed Assault also has some pretty dense forests in temperate climate at lower altitudes.

AFAIR, the Battlefield series only has maps at higher altitudes or in Alaska, where there are no contiguous woods anymore.
The exception would be Songua Stalemate, with its dense bamboo flora, where a lot of the time you can even fit between two stalks.
But bamboo is a grass, so you can't really call it a forest or wood.

Keep in mind that once your playing on that map all those trees will be knocked over and kinda in the way.

it was ok, but i do regret spending on the premium and hundreds of hours in it

even accounting for rose-tinting, it isn't half the game bf2 was.
I disagree, I still enjoy BF3, and at first I would have said it wasn't as good as BF2, but honestly I think they got pretty close to the enjoyment. I think BF2 was a social case, you go out, play with your friends etc, BF3, for me has been the same. I get out and play with Tazz and the rest of the clan and have a hell of a good time.

You only need flares and machine gun. The only additional unlock you should use is rocket pods. Watch your speed, you turn fastest at 310-315 speed. I went from shitty scrub pilot, to scrub pilot with a couple service stars and a maverick dogtag before any other vehicle dog tags in a matter of days once I learned about the speed turning thingy.

The thing about Bad Company 2 is that the maps were actually really good.  There were forests, urban areas, snow, deserts, grasslands, tropical jungles.  Looking at these screenshots, BF3 has about 3 or 4 variations of the same 3 or 4 maps.  Oh look, another snowy map!  Well Bad Company 2 had like 6.  Oh look another forest/woodland area that looks just like the other ones!  Oh look another fucking oil complex!  Fuck.

Still waiting for those fully destructible 3 story residential/urban buildings that Bad Company 2 had.
