To an Arma 2 player, every game looks like a camera on roller skates with a gun glued to the front.
Arma 2?

An OT. the OP's eyes appear to be broken
Arma 2 vs Call of duty:

Call of Duty: Put your crosshairs on some dude on the other end of the map, kill.

Arma 2: Put your crosshairs on some dude 600, 700, 800 yards away, your shot just went low, you missed, and you gave away your team's position, and now a BMP is shooting into your position.

Arma 2 is on another level of awesome.

So can anyone point it out to why it looks so bad to me? I can't really explain it, it seems like nothing fits in with it...

But anyway, what do you guys think of BF3 so far?
It's probably that the smoke doesn't have a good 3d render yet, I mean it's a whole new engine. What I think about it is that I hope it will leave CoD be. They are such different games and shouldn't be trying too appeal to the same crowd.

I know you weren't, I was using it as an example, and yes, Arma is made by the same people, or something like that, I think it's made by people that Made Operation Flashpoint and formed another studio or something, i'm a bit fuzzy on the exact details of that whole deal.

Good Graphics. Rather bland aesthetics. Go watch EC this week. It will answer your question.

The problem it that (Visually) it's just another gray/brown shooter.

I think the graphics look good. Certainly good enough.

Graphical quality isn't all that important anyway, I thought Battlefield 1942 was ulta-real back in the day even though it looks like deep-fried crap nowadays. Point is it was still just as fun.

The only thing I can say is that you're really bad at judging how good graphics are. Because those graphics are incredible.
Also, it looks really fun, and since I enjoyed BC2, I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this one too.
They might be incredible, but they don't fit in. Take out the arms and gun, and it looks almost as good as Cryengine 3.

I'll site crysis 2 as my example- The game looks brilliant. Everything seems to fit in correctly, in Battlefield, it doesn't. It looks like they tried to mix 4 diffirent pictures in a first person view perspective, while in crysis 2, everything seems to be in sync, like it would be in real life.
Really? Crysis 2, really wasn't that graphically impressive at all, it was a really nerfed so it would squeeze into the consoles. Game play trailers from battelfield 3 look twice as good as crysis 2 does.

Oh and what?

Looks like crap? As opposed to? What? Standard definition dvd? VHS? 8mm film?

But in the original screenshot you posted the character model is in sync. If you were realistically holding a rocket launcher in a resting position your hand would still be on the grip that far forward and the front of the barrel would be slightly pointing down.

It looks aesthetically appealing to me, especially in the clip when you fight from the overpass on the highway. To say that these images are brown would make sense since you know, they're in a middle eastern city which is the desert.

I'm not judging the game on anything right now, because it isn't out yet, but right now I am judging it graphically, and It really looks like crap...
What is this... I don't even.

As everyone has already pointed out, this looks amazing.

I enjoy the CoD series, but I prefer the Battlefield series, so I'm really looking forward to BF3. The only thing I'm having trouble deciding is if I should pre-order through their site, wait for the pre-purchase on Steam or pre-order through Gamestop. >.<

Op is trolling, he stated he had no idea what was wrong then goes on to explain what is wrong with it.
You sir, are not correct. I stated I couldn't put my finger on what made it look so unrealistic. I can now, though, The characters don't agree with the background, It looks like they are interacting on a greenscreen. For making the game look so real, It fails on a lot of aspects.

hehehehahahaaaaaahhhahahhaaha ... that was good, but honestly the op's name sort of sounds haterific to me anyway.
Battlefield games being trashed on by an obvious Halo fan. It doesn't take much to realize that he might be bashing. Aesthetics might be an issue for some, but graphically (which is where the op is bringing up flaws) this game hits a high note. Great visuals + all of the care for sound that the BF series is known for = a good game in my book.
Something looks terrible unreal on it, and it doesn't fit with the games realistic look, and It ruins it for me. I'm not saying the game is going to be bad, I love the battlefield series, but this one doesn't seem to fit. Compair the game to another great graphics game like Crysis 2, and for some reason, crysis 2 makes it look somewhat realistic, but still adding that modern video game graphic unrealism. This game tries to make it look completely realistic, It looks great, but something doesn't fit it, and it ruins the experance.

That seems to be a major factor, thanks for pointing it out. That is why the characters don't seem to fit, It can be so much more, but it's not.

Again, thanks for pointing it out.

The arms, and gun in the First person perspective look like it was just pasted into a blu ray movie, and I personally think that bluray looks like crap.
I think blu-ray is a stupid and pointless format, which will almost certainly go the way of the beta-max. But I don't see how you could think it looks like shit. Literally the only discernible difference between blu-ray and other media format is slightly higher resolution. So I'm confused, do you just not like looking at things?

Anyway, I doubt people will be able to tell you why you think it looks bad, because, first of all, it doesn't, and second of all, you are clearly seeing something (in this and blu-ray) that the majority of people do not.

Sorry, I ment like when you go into a store and they are playing a blu ray movie on a TV that isn't ment to handle it, It looks like the characters don't move, the background does.

This game sort of does the same thing to me, I think the movement for the player character is clunky, and the gun looks pasted in, slightly too realistic for the rest of the game.

THere has been something bugging me about the graphics. Can't really place my finger on it, just looks weird. It really doesn't affect whether I get the game or not though.
Exactly my point, I think the game will be another not bad battlefield title, maybe better, but it is the gun. It looks too realistic for the rest of it, so it makes it look like you are travaling through a moving picture, rather than an envornment. take out the gun and the arm of the player, and it looks almost like a movie, but the gun/arm look clunky, unrealistic, and it doesn't fit with everything else. So think of Pasting it in to a great looking game.

That is fair I suppose, but I don't think that it is a graphical or aesthetic failing I think that it is more a personal taste thing. I don't see a contrast that you are talking about, and I also like the way the first person camera moves with the character. It suits my preference in games and films.

Also note things like how the ammo meter giggles when you shoot. I'm not saying that as impressive graphics, I'm pointing it out as something which is rather uncommon in games, and that I like. It is fair, however, if you don't care for it, or if it just create a feeling of unease because of its irregularity. Who knows, when I play the game I might get frustrated with it, but in theory I like it. I think BF3 does a few things like that, which may make it look strange, or leave the realm of your preferences for how a game should look.
