Everything else trys to strike up a balance of the demands of casual gamers and BF veterans. And sometimes the casuals win, as is the case of the BF3 map design with all the flags close together in conquest.

Dice also had the option to cater for all platforms and style of play, by giving more server options.

Example;

Cod style server setup

Commander -off
Vehicles -off
Small size map ( like in bf2)
10 kill air strike -on

Bf2 style server setup

Commander-on
Vehicle-on
Big map
Kill bonus- off

Something like this could have pleased everyone, instead of just console users.
 
What exactly would you want to turn off that you can't currently ?

You can already turn vehicles off and have an infantry only server if you wish. Equally you can choose what map size you want, what player count you want, and what map rotation you want.

What kill bonus are you referring to ?
 
I hate paid for maps, they are the scurge of the fps genre, we already have a fragmented, dwindling player base that will be further divided by a paid for map pack. Paid for dlc I have no issues with but it should only be guns and skins. Maps should be free for all like dice originally promised otherwise the community is divided in half and half again each time they do it.

Dice pushed for bf3 to take on cod. Kill bonus refers to an option in cod where you can call an air strike ( or something like that, I haven't played cod.)

Yes you already have server option, why not have more options to make the game play you wish. If you read my last post it was an example of option which dice could have made added to make the game true to battlefield or more like cod.
 
I don't think they want to turn Battlefield into COD, so would never have killstreak rewards.

Their aim is to try to broaden the appeal of the game, and there are more shooters out there than COD to draw influence from.

And adding in killstreaks and basically copying COD would be a step too far for them.

everybody screamed "console derp"and "Call of battlefield" when they heard about the latest DLC and saw an indoor map. But their influences are more UTs domination mode than COD.
 
That was an example of what they could have done to cater for all players and kept the game true to battlefield and giving options to import the cod players.

people enjoy it or just use it for fun ;)

i mainly use it when on hc servers to blast lows like some guy on noshair canals camped in one random bush :confused: he must have been there whole game :D

on other servers i just carry on unlocking guns but nearly done now :cool:

think when done ill just use an94 , a91 , m39b sniper bit of shotty when bored :p
 
something i been messing with video will be a lot better when i do the proper version more of a test :p

scamartist was the knife victim :D

 
Ive tried a few shotguns, cant get on with them at all. Perhaps some of the later ammo unlocks improve them. Tbh, theyre the most ridiculously overpowered weapons in the game. Theyre not even remotely near any form of realism. 100m+ ive been killed with shotties, crickey if they were that good in reality, i could shoot pheasants from my sofa.:D

Luckily, I've not had any long range shotgun deaths, maybe they were using Slugs?

Personally, I've unlocked 3 shotguns:

870, tight pellet spread, good if you can aim
M1014, wider pellet spread, good if you can't aim
USAS-12, mega ROF but high recoil and you dont get much ammo

I've never had any success with slugs, flechette and frag ammo (or medium/long range shooting).

I only use them on TDM-Canals/Karg to get specific ribbons and medals (I think there is too much spread even on Grand Bazaar).

Sooooo, try the basic 870 (no scope/buckshot) on a 48/64 player TDM Canals map, I think its great fun.

+1

Although I feel that the issue with any DLC is simply = pay to win. New guns with better stats (followed by a patch to balance it back out shortly after but in the mean time, suck it up).

Similar with skins, when they ain't careful they can end up adding harder to see player models.

In general DLC sucks, cheaper games they promised, more content, more fun. Yeah right... bye bye SDK's.
