Wait is gameplay in Battlefield 3 like Battlefield 2 or those shitty spinoff "bad company" spinoff games?

I Really really want BF3 to be good. I'm terrified that they've "CODified" the series though. Just having vehicles wasn't what made Battlefield. I haven't been reading up too much on BF3, but If there's things like kill streaks, and only 16 people per game (32 is a joke for max players too), without a doubt going to pass on this.
same here BF2 worked with classes squad play and no kill kill streaks.
The one thing that will make me no buy it is the clip in your gun and when you reload with say 10 out of your 30 that it came with you lose them 10 rounds.

I want it so you have say 5 clips with 30 rounds each, not 150 rounds.

and also not huge hit and sound indicators with matching hitboxes too

bf2 and bc2 are the 2 best multiplayer online shooters i have ever played and I continue to play them both.
I hope to god they do everything possible to stop hacking though. It worked for a long time with bc2 but in the end hackers/aimbotters have crept in.

So thats a HELL YES on bf3, pre-ordered after the 1st gameplay video was released

Hey EA, could you guys you know, just put out a shooter without a crappy single player campaign? Like Battlefield used to be? Cause to be honest, I'd rather you guys perfect the multiplayer than put in a boring 8 hour single player campaign just to appease the 8 people who don't have internet.
...Or the thousands of others who detest multiplayer, because A. they don't have friends, and B. they belief in GIFTThe "Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory".

How about best of both worlds? Make good multiplayer AND a good single player campaigne? I mean, they clearly have the money to do it...

Goddammit, when will big gaming companies stop trying to achieve Cod-like status and try something unique?
When there's not a threat of going broke over one botched game. You wanna see more innovation in the field? Pay $150 per game.

lol that statement's so silly I'm not even going to argue with it.
That's your answer. Why don't they try something unique? Because no one will buy it. End of.

Didn't they say that about Mirror's Edge? 'Nuff Said

(PS I, personally, enjoyed Mirror's Edge)

Seeing as how Bad Company 2 made Blops downright unplayable to me, you can bet I'm getting this. The only question is whether I get it for 360 or PC....leaning towards PC, but want to know if I can run it, first, and I want to know if any of my friends are getting it on 360. Then again, this old boy was able to run Crysis 2 at "minimum", so I have some hope, atleast.

I am psyched for this, and I will probably get it, but...

Battlefield 3 will probably not knock off COD from it's pedestal as the number one FPS. Why? Because most games with great graphics aren't always the best games. Take Crysis 2 for example. It had amazing graphics; the best I have seen, and I was nearly ready to jump the gun and buy it. But not many people play the multiplayer or the game, unlike COD. COD is the game you play because you want to have fun in a short amount of time. The reason why it's so easy to latch onto is because of the easy control scheme, and it doesn't take a team of six people to beat another team of six people. It's simple mechanics and simple thinking. Battlefield puts vehicles and other things of that nature in, but as that might be what we're looking for, we won't get hooked to it like COD.

Think about this. 470,000 people were playing COD as of a few hours ago on the Xbox just alone. I bet you the number of people playing BFBC2 combined is far less than that of just the Xbox alone. It's probably because a lot of people can play a lot of matches of Black Ops in one hour than you do in BFBC2. To beat COD at their own game, they need to include more than what COD is offering and include the same type of gameplay. Bigger maps aren't always better. It means you'll have to travel more to kill your enemy, it means you'll waste more time trying to win one game, which is probably why less people play it.

It might be a great game, but if it takes more than twenty minutes to complete through one match, nobody wants to spend that much time to do so. Especially with a team of people who are highly trained to work together. Don't get me wrong, I might go for it and play it. They probably won't sell as many copies as the next COD installment though.

Stop trying to make a CoD killer. Just tell them to make Battlefield 3

You told Visceral to make Dead Space 2 and that worked really well, and you didn't tell them "Go make a Gears of War killer but with horror elements"

Also, I'm totally getting this.

They better release a demo, or I guess i'll have to wait for some of my more die hard mates to give their 'post play' opinions before I get out n take a

I think they're just setting up for a larger fall. Battlefield 3 won't beat the next Call of Duty. At least in terms of sales. If the past 2 CoD's are any indication, the next one will make over a billion dollars. Literally.

Good luck with that EA.
Exactly!

It takes a lot these days to get me to sit for hours like I used to and Call of duty def managed that, as has MW2. Even black ops being a nice cognac to sip before the modern warfare 3 stogie!

I've already decided to get BF3, and my hopes are that it will be good. I just wish they would stop trying to overthrow CoD.

your going to love BF3 then. They went to full scale military exercises to record sounds of actual tanks an guns firing. And you should look up the lighting mechanic demonstration where they took a yellow and blue light, and filled the rendering with clouds so you could fully see the power of the engine.
