Yes.
But I was one of the freaks that thought BC2 was one of the best shooters in years. It felt very raw compared to BF3 feels; BF3 feels very synthetic, it's hard to explain. BC2 felt more visceral, and I really miss destruction that's not a gimmick. In Metro, near flag A, if you shoot a grenade across the two standing buildings from window to window, no damage can be done to the structure. Really? That's such a step back.
Loading out is absolutely terrible. ...is it just me or are there no stats for guns anymore?
Colors and contrast is bonked. Don't know what else I can say about this. BC2 had some diversity in the colors, some maps were warm, some cold, some neutral. It had lots of flavors and it didn't get old for a long time, at least for me. I'm already sick of maps on BF3. Damn I miss the days the community could design their own maps. Think they'll ever be a game like that again?
I guess I really miss what BC2 brought to the table and am irritated they took away everything I liked about what set it apart from the CoD series. If I wasn't so addicted to the visuals of BF3, I'd still be playing BC2; that and If I could return the game, I would.
I would say every 6 out of 10 deaths I get are from people using this scope. And its not 1v1, its mostly from someone sitting still scanning the area while I'm moving from point to point. At least thats what I gather from the killcam. I run around too much and do too much CQC to bother with it, but its turning into a crutch for a lot of players. There are very few downsides to it, as someone using an assault rifle or machine gun doesnt care about sway, speed, accuracy, etc, its about acquiring the target fast and unloading on them before they see you. I'm hoping the spec ops camo can somewhat reduce its effectiveness.
I got bored of BC2 very quickly.
Overall, I'm really enjoying BF3. It's not quite what BF2 was, but it's a definite step up from BC2 in my book.
The IR scope is somewhat BS as others have said, and I wish they would remove the ability to spawn directly into jets and some helis, both other than that I don't have any major complaints. The ground vehicle vs. air vehicle vs. infantry balance seems to be just about right, with jets being my only major complaint. A good jet ace can stay in the air for most of the match - they need to add in some kind of fuel or payload limits, and then a timer before you can pilot a jet again.

.
there may be certian parts to each building that dont take damag but you can bring down 90% of the fronts of those buildings
its how i die most of the time too. i'd rather see the scope gone really, would make it a bit more fun and fair overall imo.
all i ever really do is capture the flag from checkpoint to checkpoint. i don't worry about kills, i just do in defense or defend the station. But seems most worry more about "pwning the noob" than anything else.
For those of you looking to practice flying or explore the maps type "practice" in the server browser and join an empty practice server. Those start with only 1 person.

In BC2 you could blow trees out of the way to create new paths for your land vehicles. Also a great way to take away a sniping spot. Until they changed it up you could c4 the corners of a building and it would be leveled completely. I've said this before but I liked how you had to be careful with explosives around the mcom because as a defender you had to be careful not to blow up your own mcom or the building the mcom was located in.
But I think there reasoning was after too many of the buildings got razed to the ground it would sometimes get very tough for one team to attack due to lack of cover. I think one of the strats on islas inocentes was to blow out part of the wall in front of A so there would be less cover for any rushers.
What he means about gun stats was in BC2 you could see gun damage, accuracy, and rof.
The AA tanks are too strong against infantry and vehicles.
Probably one of the deadliest weapons on the battlefield at the moment. They tear air vehicles apart, and are strong enough against ground troops to be able to defend themselves, however a tank is a different story.

I used RPGs to clear out trees in front of stationary AA. Its kind of lame that you cannot use the AA gun to do it like in BC2.
