What does Battlefield 3 for consoles offer that is new and impressive?

Seems to me that its nothing more than Bad Company 2.5 on consoles. Anyone enlighten me??

I suppose the overall controlscheme is altered, jets and Helis react way differently then they (helis) did in BC2, better overall movement, and the unlock system is tweaked and classees generally fits better.

It is an evolution of the game series, not a revolution. But at the same token, what gmaes these days really is?

The maps may be bigger, and it may look better. Apart from that I have no good ideas to what may be better or new. Generally seems that alot of console gamers did not think too highly of BC2, and likely not BF3 either (good thing they focused on PC then, eh?)

They did themselves a huge disservice tho, Beta for most console people equates to early access to MP (as in NOT really a beta, more of a demo of sorts) Where as the BF3 Beta REALLY was a beta.

Prone? Still it seems to me that in terms of new material, outside of a new engine BF3 on consoles offers just about as much new material as a Call of Duty game. On consoles of course.

I think I might cancel my BF3 Pc preorder... It just doesn't hold my interest anymore. I know it was a beta, but the fundamental gameplay will not change in a month, and it just wasn't exciting as I hoped. All the PC gamers hyped this as the end of online gaming, and it was just dissapointing.

Yep

Not many games have this feature so it's very innovative.

Have you played Caspean Border? Cause it was a kickass map. That **** metro garbage ruined the beta initially for me.

[QUOTE="mattuk69"][QUOTE="Plagueless"] Seems to me like its nothing more than BF 2.5 on PC. Am I doing it right? The game doesn't bring anything new to the genre other than graphics. The game is almost identical to BF2 in the gameplay department.Plagueless

Dude, it FEELS the same cause its a sequel, but if you can't tell all the features that BF3 brings I believe you haven't even looked the game up.

It doesn nothing new on any system, but doing something new isn't necessary for a game to be good. At the same time, I don't think it's going to do very much well either.

On the consoles its just a bad company clone. It is a 60 dollar demo of a game

If it's Bad Company 2.5 on consoles, than it's Bad Company 2.5 on PC. Besides graphical differences, the only difference is the player count for Conquest maps.

If anything, its Bad Company 1.5, because it is inferior to Bad Company 2.

PC beta I played feels like BC2.5 with jets, and console version will get no less, enlighten me if is not?

[QUOTE="Plagueless"][QUOTE="mattuk69"] Do you mean BC2 and not BF2? Because if you meant BC2 i would agree. If you did mean BF2 i think your insane!argetlam00

[QUOTE="Plagueless"] Yea. I do mean BF2, not BC2. Despite me only displaying my GT now, i was an avid BF player on PC. The game feels the same for me as it did in BF2. In my opinion 2142 was the epitome of BF.Plagueless

Yeah I did. While I admit it's fun, I don't know I'm just not enthusiastic about it. Maybe it's my current phase, I don't even feel like playing BC2 anymore so I guess I should keep the preorder despite my current computer not being able to run it AT ALL (went to friends and played Bf3 60fps). Hopefully a desktop for xmas will come true

It isn't just what he wants. EA wants to make BF this heavy hitter franchise, but they fail in the content department compared to every other option of MP out there. That's pretty difficult to do. What's even more ridiculous is that it seems most people who play the game only like one mode or the other, thus making it have even less content.

Sir you seem to have missed the sticky.
