stuff like this makes me lmao. you guys all say that the BF series changes so much and whatever and you all want the games to be like the previous games, even so much as wanting the same levels.
But when CoD does it, it's sooo horrible and terrible.
COD has changed drastically from MW to WAW to MW2 to BLOPS, and even MW to MW2. Amount of killstreaks, perks, etc. People may complain about the graphics in COD staying the same, but gameplay changes are what people really bitch about. I would be perfectly happy playing BF1942 or BF2 with a new graphics engine and new maps. Same could be applied to COD4.
Its like trying to change the rules in football or basketball every year. It should stay the same.
more killstreaks and perks isn't the same as introducing prone delays(merely an example) where there weren't delays before and other mechanics changes.
Get out of here with your shitty videos.
Ive been a CoD fan since the first game and really couldnt get into the earlier buggy as hell BF series. BC2 was decent but was severely lacking in the player control department.I agree with the CoD statements. Give me new guns, maps, toys to play with, etc and I don't care about the rest. Sure, graphics updates are nice but it doesn't really add all that much to the game when it's already pretty good. It's also nice that you don't have to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on new PC parts either. And it if the new engines screws up the amazing and tried and true gameplay, then you get the BF series (haha, never liked any of the BF series at all).
1942 w/ Desert Combat mod > Anything battlefield since then.
I also don't like how you can't shoot through the windows of the humvee.
This explains why a full clip of buckshot did not kill the driver of a humvee.
so true. BF1942 (DC mod or not) was just so fun. Since then new BF games just seem too techy and fast. there was a simplicity to BF1942 that made it so fun. plus you had to get closer to your enemies to kill them. none of this up in a jet shooting at dots on the ground stuff.
and there was this existentialist feeling to it, like when walking alone in the middle of a big desert map.
oh and 1942 was funny as hell. so many moments where i was laughing out loud. like when we'd all get on top of a jeep, put some explosives in it, and drive like a bat out of hell to the top of the mountain at Iwo Jima.
that said i'm going to buy BF3 this weekend and see what it's all about.
It's interesting how you can spray out the pilot of a helicopter through cockpit glass (re: the james bond video) but not the driver of a humvee.
This. I'm loving BF3 and will play it to death. But 1942 was the best of the series. No unlocks, no in game stat tracking, no freaking ribbons etc. Just people with exactly the same gear (read level playing field) playing great maps to WIN.

Even though the mechanics are for the most part ok, it just doesn't feel like it's being PLAYED like a BF game that frequently. Too many people are focusing on personal stats and not on solid teamwork. I know in 1942 there were always the people who just wanted to rack up the kills, but now it is encouraged and rewarded via weapons upgrades and unlocks. I think this is far more detrimental to teamwork than the lack of in-game VOIP.
That said, a map like Metro Conquest with a full server is just going to be a zoo no matter what.
