Please, PLEASE don't let this game get ruined by snipers like pretty much every online FPS. BC2 is almost unplayable at times thanks to the waves of recon.

The last thing we need in BF3 is all of the snot nosed kids who think they are awesome with thier noob cannons.

Make the sniper rifle poweful yes, but hard to use.
No BF game has ever been ruined by snipers, except the idiots who play attacking rush and sit there like tards and fail to rush.

yeah. snipers aren't even that big of an issue. any assault class witha 4x scope will be making your life difficult long range. and if you play heavy metal expecting to run from point to point in the open... well too bad. there's plenty of urban maps where sniping is not very effective (i.e. oasis). CQB rules there.

It will be if they will release it for consoles....

As long as its developed in DX11....which sounds like it won't happen, as it will be an upgrade to current BC2 engine (which is basically DX9 with DX11 sprinkle on it)

they says its 'new'. do you have any sources?

I don't know why anyone would play Battlefield on anything but a PC.

Because it is buckets of fun on the console as well? And if not all of your friends have PCs that can run it, then you only need the one guy with the big TV and PS3 to buy the game, and you can all take turns (which is what my friends and I do).

And then you get them all over at your place, 4 PS3s, 4 1080p monitors, and you all play in a squad and destroy everyone.

that's funny... MW2 was the worst with the commando perk...


A good player isnt going to lose to people who run around knifing. Same with campers. Knowing the maps and weapons trumps all that gimmicky stuff. At least in the COD games Ive played.

I'd love to do that sometime (on PC..I suck with a controller). Teamwork FTW.

Fun and console don't go in the same sentence. Besides 4 consoles and 4 tvs might as well got 4 computers.

Plus, when you have the 4 PS3s all together on the table, you can use the area behind them as a space heater!

I realize that this is the PC section, but seriously, drop the bias. If you can't find anything fun to do on a console that you cannot do on the PC, then you are doing it wrong.

They were monitors, not TVs.

Friends and I just run the steam voice chat in the background when we play. Can get tricky when we're on opposite teams and can hear what the others are saying.

some of the maps should be huge open maps that allows for epic vehicle warfare. the closest thing i felt that did that was highway tampa where you can get into epic tank battles like 4 vs 4 tanks.

There are times that you need to C4 ram. Unfortunately with the ability to repair armor so easy, it all becomes part of the game balance. However, they could possibly extend the blast radius of C4 so that it is impossible to survive a c4 ram, in BF2 right now you can fairly easily bail out in time to survive.

add a enter/exit vehicle animation like halo?

The jets were the absolute worst part about BF2.

I think jets should retain their strength, but the learning curve associated with flying and using them should be jacked up.

BF2 was one of my all time favorite games, though mainly due to IO. I have looked trying to find games to take over BF2 but have a very hard time finding much of anything that I enjoyed for such a long time.


Some things I don't want to see in BF3
Nade/Clay spam like in BF2 IO
Air Dominance

Things I hope we get in BF3
IO
Similar infantry combat to BF2, such as the movement and survivability
Gun and kit options similar to BC2

Then how would people land?

Or better yet, how would people get into the plane in the first place?

Well I don't mean the whole map ... i think it would be pretty amusing if you hand to land copmletely to reload.

Oh and buff the AA.

if by buckets you mean a thimble then yes..
consoles for shooters blow monkey nuts..(yes almighty halo included) Mouse/keyboard plus a high end gaming PC = bliss

none of my friends are too poor to afford a true gaming PC.. so wouldn't have any idea why you would want to share anyway. most of us have consoles as well but use them for games that are better on the console.. ie sports and driving and fighting..

I never said that it was a superior experience, just that you can still have fun with it. You are getting a little too defensive over this I think. As has been announced, BF3 is being developed for your precious PC first, console second. However, that doesn't mean that the console version isn't going to still be good.

Not defensive at all.. Shooters flat suck period on consoles.. not enough graphics/cpu power to really run them as they should be run and controller is never superior to a high DPI laser mouse and gaming keyboard with macros.

Consoles have their place..but high end shooters and sims is not it.
