The future of battlefield/DICE.

I really liked BF3 up until the new patch its made things really stupid, one thing i hate is the god damn RPG I started using it to get the assignments done but the damage has changed bad you used to be able to get a direct hit kill now its like u direct hit them and it does 60% 40% damage I only seem to get kills by hitting neck area, same with the shotgun i used to use that for cqb and sniping that changed, I was watching a robbaz bf3 video he talked about invisible walls I noticed when playing on metro from the big building spawn there is spots by the window even if u hit straight it wont hit certain areas u aim at.

I just hate when patches are made then ruin the game

Lets be frank, its not exactly a COD clone is it? Its better than modern warfare 3 in every single way for a start. Its the same old story of the hype train derailing and crashing somewhere outside of reality town yet again.

Peoples expectations of a new game are always hyped up by other people and advertising, then naturally these same people expect gods own urine to shower them everytime they play it. However, if we had the same old games just recycled with newer graphics and physics, then whats the point in continuing to game? Using the same logic, lets all play pong in 3D HD super hi res textures and enjoy it more?

I'm not having a go at anyone inparticular btw, just venting my frustration with what I've read so far.

Sorry but past battlefield games do battlefield way better than BF3 does it. Using your analogy, if it was an option to play pong 3d HD or a new pong that actually played like **** compared to the HD one, I know what I would pick to play.

So what stops you continuing to play these games then? Why must any new game be a carbon copy of an older one which you preferred?
 
I am playing BF2 still, way more suited to 64 player battles.

And I don't want a carbon copy, I want the best features brought forward from past games, this includes map design that supports 64 players properly and features that should come as standard in the PC version, stuff like VOIP and larger squads, a PC UI, integrated squad management tools as seen in BF2.

Agreed, since this last patch, for me its virtually unplayable. Lags and jerks all over the place, hit reg has got worse, (and it wasnt great before tbh), dying upto 4 seconds after going into cover. Empty a full clip into someone from behind from a few feet away, they turn and one shot kill you. The alpha and beta played far better than how it is now, i wont even call it the finished product, cause it's nowhere near finished. Well aside from being finished as far as longevity goes.

In your opinion, which you are more than entitled to. So if you play and still enjoy the older game, why bitch about the new one?

I got every right to bitch as do many others that bitch on forums around the net. Dice promised a true sequel to BF2, they said PC was lead platform, it was all bull. 6 years waiting for what we got was a kick in the nuts to everyone but the console scubs that have never played anything but BC2. So yeah you could say I'm bitter, but I'll keep pounding away with many others on the net to get Dice to make BF4 a true PC battlefield.

They won't though as BF3 was still profitable so why would a company move away from what currently is a profit making formula? Theres no reason for them to so it just won't happen.

Yeh that's it, I love chatting to mates etc but sometimes it would be nice to chat to random people. I just don't understand how the consoles can have it but we can't, such a strange decision and it did ruin the game for me somewhat.

Dice/EA 's business plan is minimum effort, maximum profit. Theres no chance BF4 will anything other than a reskinned BF3.

Agreed. Personally id love to see a modern version of novalogic's joint operations, played it a few years back. Massive maps with loads of vehicles on land, sea and in the air, 150 players made for some fantastic battles.

thing is, you point out that the console has it as standard. Which is hilarious as nobody uses it.

Enter any xbox game and you will find absolutely nobody using voice comms. Thats because either they A) don't understand team play or B) like all the 100 + members of the OcUK forums who play BF3, use xbox live party chat and enter a chat with friends and go find a server together after they've entered chat

Just as it works on battlelog.

I played in a clan that played BF1942 / Desert Combat / BF2 / BF2142 and we always used the clans ventrilo or team speak server. I personally don't recall the in game VOIP getting used that much ! but then i was always playing on a clan server with clan mates, usually with a mixture of randoms who wouldn't use chat, or other clans who in turn were using their own ventrilo etc...
 
In-game VOIP was very useful in the latter stages of the 2142 lifecycle. I don't know whether it was the servers I played on or the fact that only the hardcore who played the game as a team were still on, but in-game VOIP was great if you got a good squad on a public server, which happened fairly regularly.

Makes no sense considering BF3's maps are far bigger than BF2's with more vehicles and the game plays nothing like COD.

You're on crack!

this i don't get either.

Bad company never had the huge maps of BF2. i think BF3 compares very favourably to BC2.

Yet even the BC2 vets are complaining !

I generally agree with what you've written in this thread MrLOL but BC2 was never intended to replace BF2 it was a different game, but BC2 had far superior gameplay, unlock system and fun factor than BF3 imo.

I think it would have been perfect if BC2 had just been made into BF3 by introducing massive maps and proper helis + jets. Scratch that I wish no new game had been released since BF2 so I could still be playing that :p but unfortunately the lure of prettier graphics, destruction and playing what everyone else is playing is too strong to resist!
