Battlefield 3 is NOT "The Winner"

BF3 is a game full of hype and lies.

The game has terrible maps and it just lacks longevitiy.

BC2 had better rush.

BF2 had better Conquest

A ton of people I know (from PC) were hyped as hell about but stopped playing it due to it not being as good as expected.

The player base is rapidlly dropping and the game won't last long.

BF3 is moreso BC3 but its worse than BC2....

MSNBC once said BF3 is the winner, clearly they were mistaken.

I agree.

The second biggest flop of the year... Certainly no winner.

If MSNBC was in system wars I could see point to this thread...

BC2 is meh though, so BF3 being worse than BC2 is downright sad.Stevo_the_gamer

Yeah. So good I actually prefer Rush mode than Conquest mode on ANY battlefield

I was not a fan of Battlefield 3. I played it for a few days and then traded it in for my MW3 XBox Controller :)

Multiplayer is great. Needs more modes thoughDiviniuz

They said it was the winner against MW3. They are clearly right.

BF3 is a great experience. The maps might not be the best in the series but the gameplay sure as hell is.

Yeah multiplayer fps's aren' just that compelling anymore. Everybody is trying to emulate CoD's fast, less skill based multiplayer template, while shooters that actually require skill, like Halo, or teamwork, like BC2, are getting snuffed out.

The return of the pure shooter will return with Tribes: Ascend!

The map design isn't bad at all. It's how the modes play out in certain maps that suck.

I love both games, but I miss a LOT of BC2. The campaign was more original with a cast I cared about, and not some Black Ops/CoD4 rip off plot full of holes and lame Generation Kill banter. The set pieces were pretty meh, but BF3's set pieces were only slightly less meh so I'd say its not an improvement.

I miss the fun vehicles like golf carts and tuk tuks. I hate walking up to a truck in BF3 and realizing "oh wait, I can't drive this".

I miss the balance it seemed to have over BF3 in Rush and the maps.

I miss the full on destruction that wasn't so selective (oh great, my C4 does nothing to this wall on this map, but on the EXACT same wall on another map, a freaking grenade tears it all down!?), even if it did mean repetitive houses.

Most of all, I really miss some of the weapons and maps and vehicles. The XM8, tracer dart gun, Oasis and Arica Harbor, etc.

BF3's Back to Karkand pack makes me hopeful we'll see a Back to Bad Company pack with the XM8, Harvest Day, and that squad vehicle with the MG and grenade launcher returning at some point. For once, I think I'd gladly pay for some rehashed stuff, but I do think they could do a LOT more then just tack them on (like adding a bunch of attachments to the XM8, such as laser sights and foregrip).

Plus I'd love to play Port Valdez with 64 players, man that would be a blast.

BF3 trailers showed it as a realistic (ish) shooter, but the actual game is only a few steps away from Modern Warfare. Even if I'm exaggerating, it was still too casual for the kind of game it should be. Bleh. No thanks. (I'm not saying MW3 was better, just that MW3 feels better as the arcadey shooter it is)

BF3 is "more" realistic then MW3, but its not trying to be a military sim so its a moot point. What matters is fun. In BF3, its not exactly realistic to teleport in and out of vehicles or shoot someone in the chest with a .50 cal and have them live, or be repeatedly shocked to life after hundreds of bullet wounds (which should basically leave nothing but a spine at that point), but its fun and that matters.

Personally, I'd say one thing MW3 has over BF3 is that the game is built around ensuring the worst types of jerks online can't cheat the system in some terrible way. BF3 is built around playing it the way you're "supposed" to, so it has a host of issues just one jackass can screw up. From spawn killing, to jet spawn killing from no skill jerks, to a mortar spammer hiding in an unreachable spot for the enemies, etc. The worst you can get from MW3 now is someone cheesing a certain perk combo, but its not a sort of frustrating game breaking scenario that you would get from BF3.

Otherwise, I admit BF3 is so difficult to balance that for the most part it works, and its lucky its not MORE frustrating then it is.

Wait for Back to Karkand.

I'll admit, I wasn't impressed when I played it. This coming from someone who loved 1942, 2, and 2142. If they bring back some of the older maps I might be interested. meetroid8

Same here. I loved all Battlefields before, except BC1

Winner: Skyr....BIOSHOCK INFINTE!

Hell yeah...:cool:

the problem with battlefield 3 is some of the map designs downright suck, Operation Metro has so much choke points its crazy,

and half the time your matched into games that the side your on got pushed back all the way to their deployment...

i'm praying that the patch helps us big time

I feel haunted... I see BF3 but my mind reads Battlefront 3....... :|
