Relative to previous games in the series, nothing really. So far just minor additions like bipods, flashlights and suppression. A "big thing" is yet to be introduced.

Compared to the competition, the usual. Scale, vehicles, support roles, destruction etc. The dynamics all those things bring.

I love how the BF fanboys trash MW, yet BF3 plays nearly EXACTLY the same as BF2 with a coat of nice graphics. HOW INNOVATIVE!!!! Hypocrites really

Cool story bro.

Come back to when you have actually played Battlefield games...oh wait this is System Wars.

How? From what I've seen it looks to me moving in directions of its own, which makes sense considering its a sequel to a six year old game with two spinoffs in the meantime. I can't say I've seen anyone preaching innovation at all either.

Flying a bomber at high speeds over an enemy base on a 64 player map? That's pretty different than COD of you ask me.

[QUOTE="eboyishere"]because it's not a yearly release if BF had a yearly release since it first started(which i dont think it did) then it would also receive hatebobbetybob
BF 1942 - 2002 The Road To Rome Expansion - 2003 Secret Weapons of WW2 Expansion - 2003 BF Vietnam - 2004 BF2 - 2004 Special Forces Expansion - 2005 Battlefield 2 Modern Combat -2005 Euro Force + Armored Fury BF2 Boosters - 2006 Battlefield 2142 - 2006 Northern Strike 2142 Booster - 2007 Bad Company - 2008 Heroes and 1943 - 2009 Bad Company 2, Vietnam and BF Online - 2010 Battlefield Play4Free and Battlefield 3 - 2011 Yup, it's like they're barely even making money out of the franchise!!! BF3 is still mixed in my eyes, everytime they're doing something cinematic it's amazing and then they start shooting and I dunno, it's just looks like every other first person shooter only prettier.

You're counting expansions that aren't full games since they need the full game to play them.:|

Well, it is the true successor to the original BF2; bringing back to us many core Battlefield experiences like 64 players, jets, huge open maps which was absence in the Bad Company spin-offs.

Have you played Arma II? Not even their maps are boring, size has nothing to do with it just the people you play with.

The people who think BF is the same every game probably only played the console spin offs, which in that case, yes....they do play the same. Except BF3 isnt a spin-off and is a direct sequel to PC exclusive BF games, which your average CoD fanboy on system wars hasn't ever touched.

New and refreshing? It's another shooter so you're guaranteed to know what you're going into to be honest.

Comparing to CoD, at least the same game has'nt been reskinned for the sake of 3, soon 4, sequels.

BF3 maps will be huge.

Maybe the 30ft by 30ft square CoD maps are more your style?

slarkyslark

With improvements in sound quality, graphical output, destructible enviornments, along with better design and feel of the weapons, the game will have more atmosphere than BF2 ever did and while it will resemble BF2 in some ways, it will be different enough so it'll feel like a radically different game.

Because COD is being milked to death like Halo and they don't add enough features to make it fresh. And the charge 15 dollars for map packs which is retarded that people pay that much for them. Bf3 will be better than MW 3 in my book. Even Gameinformer stated in a MW 3 preview article that they weren't impressed with the game.

B-b-but it has betterer graphics and it's battlefield so you have to blindly love it while bashing CoD like a 12 year old who can't handle the concept that other things can coexist.

Eh? Tell me seriously that BC2 is like BF2. BC2 is smaller and more restrictive, but it beats playing a chaotic arcade shooter named Call of Duty (which hasn't seen any more variety past Call of Duty 4). Tell me sriously that it's like BF 1942. Hell, tell me seriously that BF3 is going to be like BC2 and not more like the original Battlefield games.

Besides, what new Battlefield games have you played "every year"? BC and BC2 are the only recent BF games, and they're not exactly what I'd call one in the same. BC 1 was mediocre in both the SP and MP departments. TBH, it doesn't sound like you've played many Battlefield games.

A Halo game has not come out every year... There are more Battlefield games than Halo games and Halo is an older series. :roll:

Halo 3, 2007, Halo Wars 2008, Halo ODST , 2009, , Halo Reach 2010, Halo Remake , 2011, Halo 4 2012 . Plus the many halo map packs. Yea. Halo is not milked at all... You sir FAIL. And don't get me started on COD....

Halo Wars was in 2009 and you didn't prove anything. There wasn't a Halo game in 2002, 2003, 2006 or 2008.

There are six Halo games and Halo is a nine year old game franchise.

Battlefiled is eight years old franchise and there are eight Battlefield games... If you choose to ignore all the expansion packs and free to play online games.

Lets see...

2011 -Battlefield 3

2010 -Bad Company 2

2009 -1943

2008 -Bad Company

2007 -Battlefield 2: Modern Combat(not an expansion, it's a stand alone console title)

2006 -Battlefield 2142

2005 -Battlefield 2

2004- Vietnam

Thats eight straight years of releases, and thats not even counting expansions and free to play. Stop being such a fanboy. I'm not even defending CoD here but Battlefield fans criticizing CoD and especially Halo of being milked are hypocrits. Get off your high horse. Want to talk about failing?

[QUOTE="lasseeb"][QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]Let's see here. 64 players. Destructible environments. 'Nuff said.

Doesn't change the fact that it's still a normal mindless FPS. Just run and shoot. And you win. HOORAY! Just face it. The Battlefield series hasnt done anything revelutionary to the FPS franchise in a couple of years. And cod only did 1 thing which makes it succesfull.and it's killstreaks! But nothing new for the 4 games that came after COD4. The entire millitary FPS's are getting old.

I've only played a BF beta and even i know if you run and gun in that game you're as good as dead.
