I'll be the first to tell you that BF3 is nothing compared to it's predecessors that were PC exclusive, but saying it's not a proper battlefield is silly. The differences between BF3 on PC and consoles is night and day, with 64 players, bigger maps and the like.

Because people want to? There's no reason you couldn't just turn it off if you didn't want it but why should that be a reason to deny it to people who want it?

We are going backwards, soon we will have the worlds most graphically advanced game of noughts and crosses
Its the madden sports development plan, ideally you want to supersede the previous version every year or just shortly after you finish the last sale
regen health and other 'power-ups' make it quite easily a mislabelled BC3

you have a point.
Er, I don't know, a little thing called teamplay which is supposed to be the basis of Battlefield?
If they had proximity chat you could communicate with random people inside vehicles quickly and easily.
Well - in my experience team play is non existent in pub matches.
Ur playing on the wrong servers then!
Looks like it, what servers do you play on? Preferably hardcore.
+1 for the cq247 server, linked below with a few other hc ones i play on often.

The cq247 guys also run a server for the new close quarters maps if you have those.

the cod launching with the new xbox 720 is using the unreal4 engine
(cod2 was the xbox 360 launch title )
so bf will suck as at both looking worse and playing worse. people can mock cod but it just works 99.9 percent of the time unlike bf. so with a better looking game and a better working game bf is kinda up a creek when the new engined cod hits. role on next november
how can bf be better than cod series when the EA are trying to emulate them in every way ?
they cant and they never will .
also since playing DayZ i didnt really realize how bad bf3 is . i knew it wasnt as good as cod4 but really has shown how consoley the game is now.
no moh for me no more bf for me .
only fps ill touch now is odd game of cod4 and arma 3
thing is Battlefield 2142 was just a re-hash with new skins and maps.
It was based entirely on the BF2 engine. But it ended up being one of the best battlefield games thanks to DICE's innovation. The titan mode is a master piece of objective gameplay and genuinely worked, unlike some other made up objective based modes (COD's sabotage for example)
Plus there was genuine thought that went into it, as others have said the active camo, deployable shields, deployable sentry guns etc.. all made for great team play.
I just fear that under EA, this sort of innovation will be frowned upon and Battlefield 4 will be no different to battlefield 3 aside from tinkering with stuff for the sake of it.
Battlefield vietnam was just a re-hash of Battlefield 1942 and didn't fare so well. But riding along in a transport chopper to The Ride of the Valkyries whilst laying fire down on enemy VC was one game experience i won't forget in a hurry.
They could re-release Battlefield Vietnam, or Battlefield 2142 in the BF3 engine, and the battlefield fans would buy it in their droves. But instead we'll get a re-hash of Battlefield 3 i suspect.

We get it. Not everyone likes BF3.
I like it, and there's obviously some aspects that I don't, but moaning in here and slating a game that isn't out yet, isn't really going to do much. Email the devs with your concerns.. if enough people do that then they may just tweak items.
As for the lack of commander mode. That was my biggest disappointment when BF3 launched. I spent many hours shelling flag with artillery, dropping crates on snipers and dropping buggys on enemies.. Sad thing is not many people chose to play as it.

@Battlefield
We've been getting a lot of questions about when #BF4 will be released. We're not setting a date yet, but the Beta is in Fall 2013.
So 2014 for the game then?
One good thing at least it wont be rushed surely.

I just enjoyed playing spec ops and laying C4 on the enemy commanders assets. Was hilarious fun sneaking into the Russian Base to do it whilst avoiding all the herp derpers queuing for the Jets and Choppers lol.
I miss the two man bombers from BF2 as well. Theres so much more they could have done with BF3 had it not been rushed

I've not played BF3 but I think BF2 was near perfection so you can't get much better than that. The only thing about BF2 is that there wasn't enough team work. The facility was there for it but people didn't use it enough. The commander and squad leader features were only ever used to their full potential in a small handful of servers which were an absolute joy to play in. Still a great game though.
lol won't be rushed? like BF3 was not rushed........EA will rush Dice to get the game out to compete with MW4 just like BF3 was rushed out to compete with MW3. Expect the beta in September 2013 for the mugs that pre-order MOHWF, then expect the console focused bug ridden BF4 out in October, same **** as BF3 beta and release. The franchise is ruined through EA wanting some of that COD wonga, expect an even more casual, dumbed down BF4.
