Battlefield 3

^ And that's why I'm never touching BF 3 with a 10 foot pole... Most realistic shooter today, my a$$...

However it's nice for the lolz.

Why the hell does everybody claim that Bf3 has to be "realistic" or whatever. The Battlefield series was never anything near realism and that is a good thing imo! Nowadays many PC gamers seem to put BF3 in the place of an MW3 realism 'antidote', though both games target a different type of gamer...meh, i like bf3 the way it is

[hslan.Grim]

I think what most people mean with ''realistic'' is teamplay. It at least was the reason I liked BF so much. But with BF3 it went more the MW way, where everyone is just running around trying to get as much points as possible or the most ''awesome kill'' as possible. The reward for teamplay and with that making it more realistic is gone . I still play BF3 though but not as much as I played bf1942/bf2 in the beginning.

I dunno about that...

Extra points for attacking/defending objectives, 3 extra spawnpoints (if the squad is full), extra points for healing/reviving/resupplying squadmates, and squad perks...

Which suggests to me they're trying to encourage teamwork.

In fact, if it wasn't for the removal of the commander, I'd say it's more teamplay friendly than BF2.


FWIW, in BF2 I was lone-wolfing it about 75% of the time, in BF3 I'm always in a squad.

Being in a squad only means free spawn points, not teamwork.

Wow finally, they've actually changed the engine for the next Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare. Nice job Activision!

[THeTA0123]

The expansion includes four maps, 10 weapons and no vehicles -- it's about close quarters, after all.


You know what that means?

M320 and RPG spam


My god the fans are pissed 

[Thorondor123]

Meh. But the map pack with huge maps seems interesting.

"Largest BF map ever" and "Mobile artillery" were mentioned somewhere.

[Yustax]

Well...wont buy at all. Unless DICE can prove this time that they are actually the biggest maps in all the BF history. And they are actually...but just 40% of it is playable.

[THeTA0123]

Armoured kill sounds intresting and Mobile artillery has been mentioned yeah


Probaly M109A6 Paladin for americans and 2S19 Msta for russians

However the 2S3 Akatsiya is actually a better choise since the 2S3 Akatsiya was a counterpart to the M109, the Msta is a diffrent weapons system

ooh well, EA will fuck it up none the less

[Yustax]

Ditto...still, let's see what DICE now bring to the table. And it's obvious that the cqc map pack are for the COD crowd that DICE cattered for easy money.

Most servers are metroll, it reminds me so much of all the servers are Karkand...

[THeTA0123]

Lets hope <3
