Battlefield 3 Teaser

Conscript said:
They were pointless. All the maps are far to small for jet planes, and the last thing we need is another game where everyone waits at the deployment area for fast jets/helis to then just go and base rape the other team with.

As for attack helicopters, I think they really ruin BC2. I hate it when Im having a great tank battle on Atacama Desert then some **** rocks up and spams me with rockets from the attack helicopter he has just spent 5 minutes sitting still to make sure he gets. Then after he's finished with me, he goes and circle strafes my spawn area for the remainder of the game. What fun.

Seriously, I think the attack helictopers should be taken out. Armed transports are fun, like the UH60, but attack helicopters are just too much of a temptation for morons. I love the infantry and tanking element of BC2, but these games are too small in scale to incorporate air support properly. I'd much rather see more ground vehicles and armour, forget jets and restrict helicopters to support role.

I don't mind that they exist.
My problem with them is that unless you get a pilot who allows himself to be fairly stationary, they are really difficult to take out.

Taking one down relies on:

(i) - A level having AA guns or an AA vehicle. Smart pilots take these out before they even get a chance to use them. In comparison, although 1943 was full of planes, there were AA guns everywhere.

(ii) - Getting a a tracer dart on them is only possible if they are flying slow. If they circle strafe it's impossible.

The biggest issue I think is that the lock on rocket launcher is basically useless. If it actually took down choppers easily, then then it would be fine, but nobody bothers with it because it's terrible.

Battlefield is a real rock, paper, scissors kind of a game, the attack chopper being circle strafed makes itself immune to that game mechanic.

That was terrible, we knew it was coming, could have at least shown us something.

The fighter jets may just be some kind of killstreak type thing, rather than a controllable vehicle.

I can tell you've never played Battlefield 1+2+2142. Jets and planes are the norm in those games.

Battlefield is not CoD nor will it ever be. Its strengths precisely come from being different to it.

I take it the definition of teaser has completely gone over your head.
 
I loved the plains and helis in Bf2, made for good fighting, if the maps are big enough id like to see them, plains would be great on the joypad to, cant wait for this tbh, love the bf series.
 
Jets and Choppers will be good as long as the maps are pretty big, servers will hold 64 players at once so it shouldn't be too hard to keep maps decently sized. Another thing is AA support, I don't think BC2 had enough AA support so I think there needs to be a little more in this game. I have faith in Dice I think they will do a good job.

you havent played BF2 have you? and no bc2 is not bf2.
the maps were anything but small

the helis and jets in bf2 made the game, and created some of the best battles ever - they got completely ****ed up for bc2 to please people like you who cry over getting killed.

I have a bad feeling this will be bad company 2 2.5 by that I mean virtually the same feel and engine and low player counts and vehicles etc.

I want them to go back to pC only and raise the bar like the original bf1942 did with 32v32 minimum and land sea air.

The one thing they have announced is that it's the Frostbite 2 engine, so it's a new engine.

There is no way they will go back to a PC centric game though because there is no money in it.
 
I bet you the so called new engine is very similar to bad company 2 is all I am saying.
 
You can tell this is the console forum. :p


Guys, it's BATTLEFIELD 3!!!!11111111111

:/ Battlefield is about Tank and Jet battles.
 
I cant remember did BF2 have shoulder mounted surface to air missiles?
I dont think they did did they? it basically meant if you were infantry you were stuffed.
 
Meh I peed a little, been waiting for this game for years upon years! This is what they said BF2 should have been, and looking at how good BC2 is this will be amazing. On top of that it has the original Theme back :D

Now I think last year was a good year for games, new Fallout new Mass Effect etc.... But this year makes me pee my video gaming pants! Battlefield 3, Portal 2, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, Deus EX..... Hnnnngh!

Jcb33.

i take it your just looking for an argument

a teaser should tease and to tease you have to show 'something'

look at teasers from companies like rockstar or teasers from cinema.

I think it will be the same engine as BF:BC2 because they called the cut down engine in Medal of Honor 1.7 or something so hopefully 2 is the full fat version.

Yes, I have played BF2. I didnt say the maps were small. I said they were too small to implement jets.

The maps felt massive when you were tabbing across them on foot or driving in a vehicle. But jump into a fast jet and suddenly the maps feel very small and arena like.

And I dont cry over getting killed...I just wish it took more skill than circle strafe + mash trigger, so that they dont dminate the battlefield so much. Hence why I think armed transport are a better idea.
 
Yea, its a difficult balence to strike with infantry and vehicals, I quite like teh thought of a few guys having to go to work on the tanks, as at least they cant dodge so easily.

THe Spawn raping in BF.BC would be sorted instantly if they jsut bothered their lazy a holes to put a no go "greyed out" no go area over each teams home base, would have also stopped thembeing able to take the opposing teams vehicals and give a losing team a fighting chance of taking some ground back.

Although BF should be a different beast, its a different gameplay altogether and the maps should be huge, so long as the weaponry is good to take out Aircrapft etc it would be excellant, maybe HAVING to pair up with someone to use a stinger missile etc.

THo I believe for the console gaming its going to be 32 players in a game.

Stpid things but id like better SFX when hitting someone...like the "phit phit phit" you get from COD when you hit someone...thats a little touch that satisfying.

Mostly im just looking forward to see what the FrostBite2 Engine brings, some interesting ideas in it!

ANd yes..this is a teaser..not an ad..its a teaser to the coming press launch at the start of March I believe, so thats about right.

Considering they have cancelled a few othe BF projects to soley concentrate on this...I have and want to believe theirs big things in store for this...I NEED a real alternative to COD...and BF has a deserved legacy to work from to make this work!
