4. BF 3

i dont know whats going on with BF3 its like they dont want people to play vehicles , everything seems to be centred around infantry combat for some reason.

its probably one of the reasons no maps really have a "front line" in 1942/bf2 the vehicles would be able to stop the infantry overwhelming key outposts easily.

i'd give a left nut for one of the large desert maps from bf1942 or bf2 a map that covers a really large area without every base beeing within looking distance of the other.

give us something to promote real teamwork, theres no real reason to work in a team in bf3 and it shows , helis flying around with no gunner , tanks roaming around with no gunner , jeep/humvees roaming around like golf carts.

non of the planes are 2 seater with a bomb man either?

yea dont get me wrong its nice and all but doesnt really have the "battlefield" feel to me , its almost as if they were scared of having a game on the consoles thats to far a throw away from the COD series.

its sort of like BC2's big brother and no relation to bf2.

dude some guns are just insta rape.

f2000 and usas.

the idea of bf isn't instadeath or hc would be normal mode surely.

Actually the AEK is more of an insta-rape weapon than the F2000. The USAS just looks dramatic and makes players pay for the mistake bunching up together. Not to mention you can hear the USAS a mile away.

I seriously reckon people under estimate how important sounds are in this game. :)

The only unbalanced element in BF3 at the moment are the jets and attack choppers with full unlocks. If you are on the ground, even with an AA tank, you are outgunned and out-ranged.

The bases are too close on bf3, even some of the later bfbc2 maps had better spaced out objectives, ie heavy metal and harvest day. In bf3 theyre all a comfortable walking distance.

I think this is correct and shows that the BF3 has been dumbed down to please both console gamers and mw3 crowd. It clearly shows that DICE was pressurised by EA to create a game that would make the most money possible. And that means cutting corners.

Big maps and far bases are one of the corners that had to be cut. Imagine all of that 15 year olds with short attention spam. If they had to walk from one base to another for more than 2 min, they would quit and switch on the MW3 instead. Now this would be perfect for all the BF3 gamers, but not for EA.

perhaps back to karland maps are more bfish?

Though from memory these maps also have close flags
 
Hey guys quick question!

My brother wants to try out bf3 but cant use keyboard and mouse so i have tried it with a 360 pad, it all works well until i want to change class/gun before spawning, i cant go left or right in this menu using the controller, am i missing something?

Thanks!

yea it was more of an infantry map with everything fairly close.
i'd have prefered "Road to Jalalabad" and as i remember it was far more popular than "strike at karkand"

atleast golf of oman is a half decent map aslong as everything isnt made uber close together to fit into bf3

would have been nice for a really big maps with lots of vehicles
 
Rolling round in a Jeep blaring out 'bird is the word' or 'War............' music was hilarious to me, especially near a sniper ;)
Forget which one that was - good times though!

I've only played BFBC2 and BF3, Best fun was in the BC2 beta IMO

YES! The beta was a revolutionary step imo and was just fantastic compared to anything that had gone before - more addictive than BF2 but not better as I missed the choppers and big maps.
