Battlefield 3 looks like Call of Duty.

I watched a new multiplayer trailer that released yesterday for Battlefield 3 and i cant help but feel not only will it be a much different game than Bad Comapny 2 but that its taken a lot of inspiration from Call of Duty. If you notice little things like the gun recoil and the overall look of the player gunnin' down some terrorists, it reminds more of Call of Duty that i would like.

Where as if you watch a Bad Company 2 trailer and get passes the silly guys, you can tell your getting a whole different game that has its own feel too it. I'm not getting that from BF3, im getting a lot of Call of Duty feel. Especially after reading buildings wont be fully destructible. Dare i call it mainstream? We will find out.

What do you guys think so far?

Nope, far from being CoD. From the videos seen, BF 3 seems to be faster paced than its predecessor, but still got the BF feel to it...

it is official.....Every single game ever to have existed has finally been compared to Call of Duty. :roll:

Oh noes!! it has menus....."Its just like Call of Duty"

Oh noes!! it has matchmaking........"its just like call of Duty"

Oh noes, you have to press foreward to run, use the right analog stick to aim, and use the trigger to shoot......"its just like call of duty!!"

I agree, i can't stand the hitbox! The graphics look alot worser than what was shown early on. I probably will still buy it but i am abit put of now.

On the lack of full-destruction:

Crysis + nuke = 0.2 FPS
64-player game + full-destruction = Something really bad

As for everything else, I'm not seeing it, at least, not in that trailer. I mean, people are behind waist-high cover, for one thing. :P There are also tanks.

It doesn't look anything like call of duty other than it's a modern FPS. The levels are much bigger (outside of the metro area), the guns behave much differently, teh game is much slower paced than even BC2, the emphasis is still on teamplay and not killstreaks or perks, from what I can see all of the perks have just been removed.

Also you've only seen a 32 player rush map with one section being a very tight fight. The area before and after the metro is much more open with a lot more room to move. The park before the metro looks awesome and is very wide and the city after the metro has a lot of space for flanking and tacitcs.

The core gameplay looks much closer to BC2 than BF2 that is true, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. We haven't seen a true vehicle map, DICE has said that Metro is an infantry focused map while others are focused on vehicles. The idea is probably to rope in the CoD crowd with what resembles gameplay from CoD.

Wait until we get the 64 player maps. Then we'll see some truely open stuff. Metro is already much more open than the majority of BC2 maps (at least when you're not in the metro part), I can't wait to see what the larger scale maps bring.

I want a map with like 5-6 tanks on each side so we can just have a massive tank slugfest. That would be fun.

sweet lord not another one of these. At this point im tired of people bashing the game so much and making it sound like its just COD. If you don't like what you see then just don't buy it. Simple as. Im not going to convince people anymore

Every military FPS feels like every other military FPS.

CoD:MW wasn't even as good as BF:BC1 IMO, so far as online multiplayer gaming is concerned.

Obviously, my little noob:roll:

Faster pace / no vehicles / infantry combat / yes it does look like COD despite everyone trying to play it off. The real question isn't does "this trailer" remind of COD, because it does, but does the game "overall" going to feel like COD. They could just be catering for COD fans to check out their games. While they are doing that, I'm worried it's too different from BF2 one of my favorite games of all time. Let's hope its more BF2 as an overall game and less COD. I know i'm not going to play the "metro map" of BF3 thats for sure.

after watching that video yesterday there'll be a bunch of idiots camping out in the subway and the bushes

That's because all footage that DICE and EA have released has been focused around infantry combat to try to get the CoD fanbase. They aren't going to show someone taking a boat down the river for 5 minutes and then running for 3 in order to flank the enemy.

yeah i know, smart business wise, i just hope they don't do what zipper did with socom just to get more sales, that would suck going on a 5 minute boat ride, it would be funny hearing some cod kids on day 1 ranting about it

They both look like boring modern military shooters. Generic, uninspired, and replaceablenext year thanks to EA's alternating of Medal of Honor and Battlefield. I think I'll pass.

you guys didn't really expect a game nowadays to play and look the same as a game from back then did you? part of the reason people hate COD is because its the same as before. So then BF goes different and you all hate that now?? make up your damn minds already

You all talk about how BF3 is consolized but have no arguement to back it up. you just spout that statement and then say nothing else. What did you all want exactly?

I agree. They spend so much time with the visuals, that they made the gameplay just like the top dog. Hence why bf3 will flop. I don't understand it. They could have gone the bf2 root. Why take so much from Bad company and Cod?

It honestly looks a lot like BC2 imo. Almost identical in gameplay actually, so if BC2 looks like CoD then I guess.

LOL your right, your right. Guess I missed it. Saw it my second time around. There's two tanks in there but still, its more COD in this trailer than BF. Lets see some over the top action with Choppers/tanks/Harriers/parachuting and so forth you know what I mean.

Not going to see those until they show a different map.

I've watched a few leaked videos and wondered where the recoil is at. This game is going to be a tranwreck, it's Crysis 2 all over again. I bet we get the beta after console gamers.

There is so much wrong with that statement that I'm not even gonna bother.

fusionhunter

Where are the killstreaks?

The word alpha exist for a reason then again I've never seen a game change much from alpha.

I saw someone's sig and it had a quote and the guy was comparing CoD to Zelda :lol:

If you take off the CoD-tinted glasses, it looks nothing like CoD at all. I don't know how people are getting that.

Activision has truly brainwashed our generation. Really sad.

all these people saying its just the same as MW... how about being a little constructive instead of just complaining.

what could they do to make it different.how do you make a game based on people shooting at each other in a modern combat enviroment that different to another game based on people shooting at each other in a modern day enviroment.

what radical paradigm shifts do you suggest guys?

this is one of the side effects of playing too much of COD. so take a break dude....

And Call of Duty looks like Battlefield 2.

I don't see it. Every shooter obviously shares a ton of similarities, since that is what makes them shooters. But beyond that it looks great to me. I am excited for it.

seriously?

there's no SIGN of COD on BF3.

So Tc you're saying that you can play with aiplanes, tanks and more in the MP of COD.

The more i think of it the more I might not get either. Bad company 2 was a dissapointment to me, and BF3 looks a lot like it will follow.

Yeah that's true, it's a military FPS, of course it LOOKS like Call of Duty.

I really want to see more of the vehicle gameplay, and I hope it is a lot better then the rides in Bad Company 2. I prefer shooters with vehichles but not the gimped ones in BC2
