The core of a great battlefield is the maps and they have 100% been dumbed down to cater for the COD crowd, even the so called air maps have all the action clustered in the middle of the map. This was done to cater for consoles and 24 players, 64 players and only 5 caps all clustered together on a big maps is just wrong.

Other gameplay features dumbed down are things like unlimited ammo for all vehicles and aircraft, fire and forget guided missiles on jets and choppers. Health regeneration for infantry and vehicles. Squad management is a joke currently.

I agree with most of your points but how is missile lock and flares any different from real life? Also, with BC2 you had unlimited fire on many of the vehicles where atleast with BF3 you have to reload after a point. And if you don't like regen why not play hardcore?

Neo, its clear you dont like the game and you've made your feeling well known. Its getting a bit 'trolly' now tbh.

All i'l say on the matter there is no other current FPS title out atm that comes close to BF3. MW3 is pure **** and anything else is simply old! Its not a trash game, MW3 is a trash game... The game imo has been HUGELY improved from BC2... so i'm happy.

I'm happy with BF3, i'm looking forward to KArkand, our guys are currently getting plenty of ladder matches and win's which says to me the game is heading in the right direction.

I refused to buy COD this year because of a lack of innovation. Essentially MW3 is just a re badged MW2 which makes me sick.

The aiming is console based.
BF3 requries basically no skill.
sure you can use team/squad using teamspeak to work togeheter, but I didnt need that for Bf2.

BF3 is a EA adapted to kids and noobs who cant aim, and the core mechanics just plain suck.

Since when has BF3 been about your aim? If you want that go play Quake/UR2/CS???
 
Might have been missed in the link in the previous post so here's the B2K karkand trailer PC footage. And it looks great with no clustered cap placement.

Not impressed with this as a 'challenge' though "Kill 20 people with a light machine gun, and get 2 mortar kills" - if it was to do that in one round, then that would be something... but 22 kills to unlock a new gun, may as well just give everyone the unlocks immediately.

:mad:

I'm not sure that you need to do it in one round:

The game will keep track of how far along you have come to fulfill it. When you have met the requirements, you will unlock a new Back to Karkand weapon.

As with all of the Assignments introduced in Back to Karkand, you can keep building towards these no matter if you play on regular maps or maps from the new expansion pack itself

That just means you don't have to play on karkand maps to get the new weapons.

I suspect they have quoted the easiest challenge

£5 bet says they aren't all like that. I bet the tenth and final gun requires some serious input. Start low and work up ad all that...

Which would be good imo. So far all the unlocks ive got have been esay, kill x amount of people to get unlock a. A I prefer unlocks that are actually hard to get, gold amour bf2 badge anyone? the one that got away.
 
I'm calling shenanigans on the karkand video, there isn't anywhere near enough rpg spam, IR scopes, rubber banding or random disconnects for that to be real footage.




:p
 
It'll have been said to death I'm sure.. but I'm getting tired of having to go support to anti-mortar the mortars, the only plus side is I havn't fully unlocked all of support yet.. I just feel cheap, on hardcore.. popping a mortar down and just clicking on the enemy mortar sign and then moving on. I dont think anything should show up on the hardcore minimap.. infact there shouldnt be a minimap other than for dropping mortars, should all be done with communication "He's there, by that rock.. under the thingy.. nevermind I'm dead!" :P

Some of the smaller conquest maps, its as bad as the rush maps for mortars.. like seine crossing and grand bazaar... a real shame because those maps can have some real good firefights on.. then you get quad mortared lol.

Do we know which guns arent broken when using suppressors? I mean for not showing up on the map. I know the M249 still shows up.. as I got taken out very quickly heh

Hope the next dlc is some of the special forces maps. Warlord, gator, leviathan and devils perch would be my choice especially the night maps.

Warlord is amazing map I enjoyed ambushing the SAS from the roof as they drove up towards the first spawn the grappling hooks are amazing bit of kit
