Simple answer is to not play it then
I for one am still looking forward to BF3, I've not hyped myself up into a stupor over the footage, I'll just enjoy the finished product.
I find it odd that people whine about COD being the same stuff recycled year in year out, yet the BF crowd want this for BF3?

Yeah you know it's been like 6 years since BF2, it's hardly comparable to the yearly cash cow that is COD. We are seeing no gameplay features from BF2 as of yet and more BC2 crap shoveled down our throats.

oh quit moaning Raven

I've never had a problem with the spotting in BC2. But then I only play hardcore.

I think it's funny they use rush mode with only 1 vehicle to showcase the sequel to BF2. What is preventing them from running a 64 player conquest alpha trial exactly?

It's so blatant the focus all along has been steering the franchise in the direction of the console/COD crowd.

I think people like RavenXXX2 have every right to complain, BF3 is so far removed from what BF2 was.

And you're making that entire judgement based on ONE map, in an alpha test?

:rolleyes:

I'm glad, would hate for them to reskin that clunky old nonsense.

To me it seems that consoles and cod kiddies have influenced this a bit to much. What should have been the true successor to BF2 is now a mod of BC2 with a higher player limit but reduced destruction its disappointing. Health regen should just not be in it. Thats what medics and a health bar is for you should be forced to limp about at half health.

Im sure it will still be fun but not as great as it could have been had it not been gimped by taking notes from cod and kids consoles.

^ Looking, and sounding, fantastic there.

rogueblade · 21 Jul 2011 at 20:21

is the alpha map 16v16? Like in BF2 it would be a massive map just reduced for less players with less vehicles and stuff

Ravenxxx2 maybe you should stick to BF2.

By your own admission, this is not the game for you.

Tried to sign up for the beta but getting the message: "WE'RE SORRY - YOU DON'T MEET THE CRITERIA TO ENTER THIS SITE."

Is that cause there is something wrong with my EA account?

Zaim · 21 Jul 2011 at 20:33

Has anyone here got a email from EA to say that your on the list to test the beta? (I got MOH)

@beh* I thought you could only join the beta if you purchased MOH?

You're missing the point. Why are they limiting the game so much at this relatively late stage in development. They may call it alpha, but with 3 months until release it's nearing the finished product.

If they wanted to show off how great a sequel to BF2 it is, put on a big map, with lots of vehicles. Afterall if that's the main element of play, shouldn't we be testing that?

The fact they don't speaks volumes. It's gonna be a BC2/MOH clone with the main focus on rush, with some 64 player conquest maps tacked on.

I agree in part but I am more thinking it's a mod of MOH more than BC2, like you say less destruction, guess what MOH has a lot less, they even have ribbon awards which are from MOH, the blue text is just like MOH.

MOH2 anyone?

Tombo · 21 Jul 2011 at 20:45

BC2 \ MoH clone, 3d hacking, COD kiddies, consoles.

Rename to whine thread.

Yeah I agree with this although I hope you are wrong.
