IRNV is basically cheating. It's like the old fashioned texture swap hacks. Loads of people running around with supressor and IRNV, even on the LMG's which is just plain daft. Supressor/silencer on an LMG? It would be blown to pieces and be useless after a few dozen rounds, not to mention it makes the thing about 6 feet long.

They are wanting to make the game appeal to as many people as possible. This involves making the game easily accessible and not having to drive round for 5 minutes just to find somebody.

Its got nothing to do with the PC being the lead platform or not, and everything to do with DICE having different ideas to you about what makes a good battlefield game in the 21st century.

The genre has moved on, and DICE were never going to produce a BF2 re skin with a new engine as some people wanted.

BULL
Dice is doing EA bidding they sold out.
BF3 is the most annoying game in history.
Its bugriden, console aiming with the dice aimbot, I find it an insult to any PC gamer out there.

Spot on, BF3 maps have got old after a week because of the linear clustered design that in noway supports 64 players well at all. What we have is maps that are more catered for rush and 24 players than conquest and 64. If Dice were not rushed to beat MW3 out they might have designed the maps like they did in BF2 that properly caters for the varying player size.

One look at the squad management is enough to see that PC got a major lack of attention during development. Hopefully all this can be corrected by Dice in patches.

Will never happen, dice stop listen to people who knows how to play the game, they cant be trusted anymore, they suck playing thier own game, their design choices for UI, coloring, 4 man squads and a lot of other things simply is a sell out to console gaming.

It will never be a great game as it uses current game design of console,

Agree.
 
So many bloody drama queens on this forum. This game is just like any other DICE/EA game from the past on release (bug wise). If you dislike the game so much just don't play it, was never going to drastically change from the beta.

Why does everyone expect a straight BF2 remake? MW3 did that and everyone complains...

My main issue with the game is some better maps but that will be sorted when expansion is out.

there are many drama queens :p but some of the stuff is true the game does have a console feel to it sorry it does.

irnv is just for the people who struggle this is one of te things i hate in pc gaming . why make it retardly easier every time a newer game come out now :confused:

we dont need auto aim we dot need to se through walls to see enemy coming .

we need a steep learning curve to make the game worthy of playing for a long time. you can tell this is made for short time only so it lasts just long enough until there next title alal like cod every october.

some stuff is great in it but most is average. the graphics still to me are below bfbc2 on max and other games. looks like a crysis 2 bf mariage but yet it looks worse than crysis 2 :confused: weird.

hopefully they can bring out some texture kind of package or something.
 
A BF2 remake would have been the better game IMO with better GFX, gun play and hit reg, the maps alone would have made the game so much more fun and tactical than what we currently have. BF3 still has potential they just need to get the game up to 6+ years old BF2 standards in regards squad management, maps that support 64 players better with more caps and better cap spacing that utilize most of the map, commo-rose, in game VOIP, advanced squad leader orders, spectator mode, battlerecorder, in game ping, a more intuitive UI and I would like a better netcode as being killed whist behind cover is really bad.

Not even been bothered to play it for the last week as the whole netcode / bulletreg / hitboxes issue is a total joke. I can't work out how in some cases it can take, say two bullets to kill an enemy in one moment then almost a full mag on another. There's no consistency in it at all. I really want to like it more and it has many great things going for it but for myself the above reason is practically a game-killer for me.
 
my issue is how much will the pc version get patched/fixed/ improved..

giventhe console ties are their hands tied by this- can the pc version diverge that far away from the console base code?

How so?

well of course it does, come on you have to be blind to not notice the vast amount of nerfing to the core gameplay mechanics even when compared to BF2.
The game is pure trash, and im grateful Skyrim came out when it did.

Couldn't really tell how the map sizes are from the vids, if they keep the same number of flags im sure it will be fine. Theres only so much you can do to wake island :P

I do agree that most maps on BF3 are a bit small but there are some cracking maps out there. Back to karkand will have me sorted :)

Pure trash?

Man, you are talking ****.

What core game mechanics have had a "vast" nerf?

Honestly I wish I was, this game could have been amazing and they hyped it up to be something special but its turned out to be a run of the mill spam fest.
nerfed:

como-rose (like it doesnt work)
commander gone - squad play not facilitated at all, given that the comm map doesnt exist anymore either.
capture points reduced max 5, bf2 had 10!
map points made very close to each other
jets/helis are now just stupid and very out of place.
the maximum number of veichles on 1 map in bf2 was 58 , in bf3 its 28.
the engineer class has gone from being a vital team asset with a real purpose to an rpg spamming action hero
lack of dedi medi class with pros/cons now its just assault being tooled up to the brim
snipers can see half the map and cap points...amazing game design that.not

just a few that come to mind that are big gameplay issues.

considering everyones thoughts straight away were "omg its not BF2 with better graphics!!1111" and most people just moan about the bugs constantly.

As somone said, if you dont like it dont play it. :)

I think the games great, couple bugs here and there but but play in a squad with friends (who know what their doing) and its a blast :)

Tell me the core mechanics that have had a nerf since BF2

Go on.

If you are gonna hate on a game, at least justify it.

I think BF3 is awesome and am thoroughly enjoying it.

im not, but thats not exactly a good solution is it, especially when you look at the massive player dropoff over the past few weeks.
