Battlefield too shallow recommend me a game with depth


With 1000 hours invested in a game, I guess you become kind of attached to it emotionally, no matter how casual and dumbed down it is. My IQ nose dives playing BF3.:p

OT yeah BF3 is a shallow experience compared to the likes of BF2 and 2142, reason being the target audience is the console market. I await PS2's arrival.

Try Red Orchestra 2. Since the re-release patch it's a significantly improved game. It takes a little bit to get into and feels kinda spazzy to begin with until you get a feel for how the game plays out, but once you have an idea it stomps all over Battlefield.

I have a couple of guest passes left, if you trust me your steam name I can send you one.
 
Bored of BF? So i take it your good at flying good in tanks have every unlock? Or are u just bad at the game? Im swaying more towards the latter!

Interesting post, so because I didn't enjoy the game I must be bad at it? Some of us look for entertainment in the game play, not in the hundreds of hours long unlock system that CoD and the like has spoon-fed into the recent generation of FPS 'players'. Come play some Counter Strike or Unreal Tournament and we can talk about ability.
 
More like people who play BF3 / CoD are too bad at RTS / TBS / RPG games so they stick to the simple shallow genre :p

What arrogance to assume that everyone who is bored before unlocking everything is bad at the game. There should be little correlation between enjoying a game and getting rewards for playing it in the form of new trinkets.

I second the RO2 suggestion. Not as hardcore as Arma2 etc, but still a lot of depth to the game.
 
Could try Counter Strike Source or GO, i went back to CS a few months ago and found it really hard to get the skill level back up. When i left i was great at the game but now not so much.
 
I get bored of bf3, I just stop playing it for a few days (or months lol). I get bored because of the hit reg though. Some days it is amazing and I get accused of botting then other days its like WHY THE HELL DOES MY WHOLE CLIP AIMED AT HIS HEAD NOT KILL HIM! So yeah.

edit: infact im trying to pique my interest again by buying the premium pack... just dont want to pay 40 for it....

As annoying as Westie can be, he isn't **** at games lol (even if he's a bit trolly at times :P)

It does annoy me when people complain about games being too shallow or dumbed down with low skill ceiling. What exactly does that mean? You're annoyed because some guy who just bought the game can kill you with a random bullet? There aren't 600 buttons to memorise?

If a multiplayer game is too easy then clearly you're playing it with the wrong people. A game is as challenging as you want to make it.

Personally I think a lot of the weapons in BF are a little too easy to handle and are pretty easy to spray but hand-eye coordination isn't the only skill involved when playing FPS games. Everytime I die in a game I try to find something I did wrong. Did I rush in too much? Was I too slow with my aim? Did I not see a guy over there? Should I have stuck with the guys I was with seconds earlier?

Anyway, none of this helps the OP! So...

If you want a more complicated game then stuff like Arma 2 and 3 when it comes out might be the trick. I'm debating whether to download Tribes to give that a go. I also recently started playing TF2 a bit more since Diablo 3 bored me after I got to 50 :/

There's plenty to play...I find if I'm getting bored, it's usually my brain at fault and not the game lol

It means that after you pick it up and play it, there isn't much else to it. You don't have anything to really learn about the game, which is why it's dumbed down.

Movement for example, in Tribes: Ascend you need to learn how to effectively ski without losing speed, how to change direction while skiing without losing speed, land properly on slopes to not lose speed or health, you need to know when to jet pack properly, how to manage your jet pack so you don't run out when you need it and when to disk jump to gain momentum, yet still have enough time to regen or enough HP that you won't die at the flag stand. Things like this will be easy to pick up, but take ages to learn how to do properly, and you'll still mess it up from time to time.
What do you need to know in BF3? To press spacebar next to something to vault over it?

Same with shooting, the only thing you have to learn in BF3 is bullet drop. In Tribes you need to learn inheritance, which is what will separate you from a new player, because they won't know how inheritance works properly, in BF3 you just spray and get kills. I think the only thing in BF3 which requires some learning, is the jets, maybe the helicopters.
