cod, skyrim being the main killers, but I think blaming it on a game is half the story.
BF3 just isnt the good to warrant long term attention and thats why people have left, its pretty sad to be honest that a studio that delivered BF2 have been reduced to releasing utter cack.
I also think the whole console/pc has nothing to do with it - just look at Skyrim made as 360 lead but still runs and looks great on PC bc the gameplay remains untouched....DICE in their decision to go console somehow felt the need to **** around with things far too much.
and for those saying karkand will bring people back. Have you seen the videos - **** a duck it looks awful.
still they got their money , i doubt they care what the server population is like.
Dice listen to EA that is the issue.
the UI simply sucks as a player colorcoding done wrong.
bugs that basically shouldnt been there due to a early release.
bugs that make people unable to play the game unless theya re a tech internet type, turn off unpn? check the system and such, its just not userfriendly.
then dice gonna buff planes?
nerf stingers?
when Karkand hits, I am likely to move to inf only servers, as a plane or a chopper should be as easy as a tank to take down. If not, then dice just do the Bf1942/BF2 all over again.
BF3 is a frustrating game, its anoying as hell, and I completly understand people playing MW3, skyrim, and upcoming TOR or any other game.
BF3 is so early released as a beta which is going to hurt dice.
It is likely that unless the patches improves things it might be my last game I buy from dice.
They didnt stick to their guns and sold out to EA.
I read that the developer looks at the animation and how cool it looks, and I go, dude fix the jumping over the stuff in the game first before you enhance the cool factor of animations due to I play the game not look at boobs and stuff as I game.
