For the dissapointed bf3 veterans.

I play bf2 a lot. I am sorry but bf3 is a better game imo. Even though I will still play all the bf games, heck I still play 1942 sometimes. They all offer something unique
 
I did not downloaded the demo as I still play BF2, I like BF3 its a very good game but is it a worthy successor to BF2 ?
Atm I would have to say no this is due three things:

The map layout is awful the capture points bunch up to close I understand they have to cater for Console uses but they should have done this:

The com rose has be dwarfed why did they remove half the options that were in BF2?

Finally why on earth did they remove the UAV, artillery and Commander? the commander was great at guiding teams, dropping off ammo, vehicles etc.
 
I'm not joking I used to play BF2 with friends one of them loved playing as commander he was great help, dropped us ammo/repair boxes artillery cover when we needed it he also spotted those pesky snipers for us :)

The artillery was very useful in BF2 and the UAV I would rather have spotting on the map than 3d spotting. Also the UAV/radar stations and artillery gave special ops class fun mission trying to get behind enemy lines and blowing them up.

I've not played BF3 but I've got to agree with you about commander. It's an awesome concept.
 
the only thing bf2 has over bf3 is commander and decent spawn maps, in bf3 you have that crap minimap and its impossible to tell where you spawn. but i like being able to spawn into vehicles, saves waiting around.
 
I used to play commander a lot on 2142 and did a good job but.. for everytime you got a good one you got 5 stats whoring muppets

wish there was a option to make the minimap only show friendlys or even just your squad played mostly hardcore or the best we can get to it on our servers and having a ball
if anyone cares to join pop on sometime just search for

[KNG] we have 3 serves 32 rush/32 infantry rush and 64 cq
 
It's only just been released, give DICE and ATi/nVidia a chance to try and rectify things and try and get used to the game in the meantime if you can.
 
I definately feel that I'll be putting less hours into BF3 than BF2. They've clearly aimed it at the console market.

It feels like some sort of mash up where 10% of BF2 has been mixed into 90% Bad Company 2.. Maps are far too small!

+1

Though I'm finding it very tough not to hit uninstall :(


The sooner Karkand comes out the better, it's what will make or break it for me.

That about sums it up.

One other major gripe I have with the game is unlimited ammo for vehicles and aircraft. In BF2 you got you mates to drop some ammo ' team work 'or the commander to drop supplies, jets needed to do low pass over the runway, choppers go back to the chopper pad, BF3 is so dumbed down and easy it's sad.

It's different, but I do like it.

Just wish some things they had retained from BF2, like the map design, the commo-rose design/functionality, jet speed, 6 man squads, etc.

The infantry combat in BF3 is far superior to BF2 though.
 
follow me round then, Im like a one man ammo factory, no one else bothers so I just run round spamming my ammo racking up all the lovely points :D

Im like this, but with med packs. YES thats right, a player that actually heals and does a bloody good job! My K/D proves it as its awful, but i would rather risk my life and save others. Thats what BF2 was all about, keeping your men alive and moving forward.

All these console kiddies i see playing medic and they don't drop one medpack or bother to defib you when your right next to them.
