I don't see how you could say EA are killing gaming when BF3 was blatantly one of the best games of the past several years.

Hardly, BF3 has been hugely successful for EA, they've made massive profits from it.

Take a look here http://mp1st.com/2012/07/31/battlef...-with-over-1-3-million-subscriptions-to-date/ especially at the graph. Premium alone has netted them $37 million.

I'm not trolling. The game is amazing. I suppose you're one of these CSS 1.6 snobs?

V3teran · 22 Mar 2013 at 19:46

Will not be buying after the dissapointment BF3 was.
Unless they start making BF games like BF1942 and the Legendary BF2 then im not interested.

BC2 was ok but still not a patch on BF2.

lol

RedDanDoc · 22 Mar 2013 at 20:13

I don't think that BF3 was that bad to be honest. Sure it was a step backwards from BF2 but I found it to miles better than any of the Call of Duty's.

You cant really compare it to ARMA as they are sims and not Arcade.

Not stoked up about the release of a BF4 as I feel its to soon and they're using the franchise as a Cash Cow.

In this short space of time Hardly think that Dice will bring anything new to the table.

Call of Duty opens the Door and they all walk in. :rolleyes:

ArmA is not really a sim, just a more realistic game and on a much bigger scale.

I think my point still stands.

Calin Banc · 22 Mar 2013 at 21:03

With others yes, with ArmA it's a little bit more complicated than that because they aren't THAT different from each other. In general both are good and both are bad also. Only by eliminating the downsides one or another series will improve. BF gave up a lot of it's original roots in order to cater for a more casual public which is ok as long is kept "unde control" through mods or the standard/hardcore part - HC being a joke in it's current state. Unfortunately, that backfired in BF 3 and I hope BF 4 will bring something new. We'll see.

Yup, nothing underwater about it as some previously thought, seems the off-screen recording was making the smoke look like water, Just tank tracks. Apparently we need a teaser to know a Battlefield game will have Tanks in it.. :rolleyes:

Nothing in the Battlefield series is realistic.

The Battlefield series needs to die, Arma series is where it's at! Bohemia keep there promises, and it still has mod tools to boot.

Please people, if you love gaming, avoid EA, DICE and all they stand for. Collectively they are killing gaming.

What a load of utter nonsense. We need BF to move foreward again but i doubt it will. As for arma its not the same sort game so why would you suggest people not play buy bf and restrict the pc gaming market even more.

Fact is bf is still the best game of that type, if you dont like that type of game then surprise you wont like it. This then begs the question why you would post drivel in a bf thread...

arknor · 22 Mar 2013 at 23:51

Yea I wouldn't class arma and BF as the same type of game
some people want "realistic" others want "ultra realism" there's room for both types of games

RedDanDoc · 23 Mar 2013 at 00:38

The ARMA's are merciless compared to the Battlefields. lol

BF is "authentic" at best, not realistic. The weapons and locations give that authentic feel to it, other stuff, it's as aracadish as it can be, even the HC mode.

ArmA is realistic, but not a sim. Vehicles aren't proper simulated, body movement/anatomy, ballistics, etc., they are closer to reality compared to other games, but not truly in a "simulation state".

I'd say it's something like below:

Arcade----------------------------------------------Sim
............BF....................................ArmA................

Did you not see the first trailer?

arknor · 23 Mar 2013 at 12:54

Doesn't mean there will actually be driveable subs though it's probably just a tiny fragment of the games intro

PsychoPigeon · 23 Mar 2013 at 12:58

I'd be surprised if this is any different than BF3. I'd like a better squad system at least
