You trolls are so funny 
on one hand you're whining that dice arent sticking to the "real" BF with BF3 (a.k.a. just making bf42 alloveragain..) and on the other you're saying that they do just make the same game over and over again... this contradiction is proof that you really dont know what you want, or what they're doing... Face it; dice is all about quality and innovation. They have consistently released high-quality games, which all have brought new innovations to players. It's quite obvious that they are not just making another "meh" series as you so deeply and insightfully put it ( 
) but that they are indeed, creating an all-out new innovation for you to enoy for years to come.
And you will 
The last "true" BF was BFV to me. BF2 started that highly-annoying stat- and ranking-system where everyone was just whoring for points in order to get a higher rank, just like we see it in BFBC2, the newer CoD games and will see it in BF3.
Sure, BF3s graphics are fancy, but apart from that I don´t see, as someone who´s paycheck does not come from DICE, why BF3 will be an "all-out new innovation" to enjoy. Most of the features are already in other games (such as supression, which strangely only a machine gun has) or aren´t that ground-breaking (pulling your fallen teammate into cover) and kinda feel half-baked (if you want to make players use covering fire, why doesn´t a rifle or a pistol produce supression, either? And what´s the point of pulling your team mate into cover? Are you kinda trying to simulate combat first aid?). And also what´s the point in creating such "all-out new innovations" if you plan to release just another BF in two years?
DICE was indeed all over quality and innovation. BF42 blew my mind when I played it for the first time, since NO other online game offered such vast multiplayer maps. Combined with epic mods it was definately a game worth its price. But now, looking at BF3 I can´t find many reasons why I should spend 60 Euros of my hard-earned money on it. AND pay even more, just for some small DLC to come.
Further, I can´t understand why you think that I´d contradict myself? I never stated that DICE is creating another "true" BF game, quite the contrary. My point is clear:
The BF franchise has lost it´s uniqueness and originality. DICE is trying to jump onto CoDs bandwagon and no fancy graphics will cover up the shallowness of BF3.
Oh, and please refrain from calling me a "Troll". I´m not calling you an "arrogant prick", either. Insulting your opponent in a discussion shows a certain lack of manners and maturity...
