The game really does feel completely different than BC2, at least to me. The class system as proposed in BF3 will lead to much greater customization anyway, it's not a bad thing.

Also why would the assault be the medic and the medic class has been taking out completely..........this game is basically bc2 with planes.

I think you used "steam" where you meant "EA" there...

The upcoming German gaming convention, Gamescom is quickly approaching and Battlefield 3 is expected to have a big presence. According to a tweet by DICE's Karl-Magnus Troedsson it looks like we will be seeing some of the first conquest gameplay at Gamescom. There is also a very good chance we will see jets. A video posted by BF-Game.net's Blond3r shows a MiG-21 jet being rolled into the Battlefield 3 booth. Gamescom starts August 17th and runs through the 21st.

Plenty of PC gamers sit down each night without knowing what they want to play. Instead, they log into their Steam accounts, see what other people are playing, then jump into a multiplayer game. In many cases, they buy widely played games simply to be part of the community, or based on positive reviews from friends. Steam isn't just a store, it's also a meeting place. EA may have good reasons for keeping Battlefield 3 away from Valve's service, but the company is still going to lose out in goodwilland possibly in sales.
Stardock estimated that Steam held 70 percent of the digital distribution market at the end of 2009, and it's likely that estimate remains accurate; what other services have stepped up to chip away at Steam's dominance? Steam is the market leader when it comes to selling PC games online, and gamers are largely comfortable with the service and with their place in it. While many argue that, like EA's own digital distribution service Origin, Steam started out in rough shape and only improved over time, the fact remains that Origin is fighting a service that is rock-solid right now.
Growing pains are over for Valve, and the company has built an amazing amount of goodwill with PC gamers. The facts of the skirmish between EA and Valve are purely secondary at this point; what matters is that PC gamers have many reasons to trust Valve, and just as many reasons to distrust EA. One of these companies gave indie developers a home to sell their games and find success, while the other placed DRM into our vocabulary during Spore's release.
When gamers think of Valve, they remember the last game they bought at deep discount during one of the platform's many sales. They think of all the friends they have on the platform, and the games they've been given or have gifted to others. They meet up with people online to play games because they know people will be on Steam when they want to play.
When gamers think of EA, they remember fighting with redemption codes to get their Dragon Age content or having to set up another account to play a game online. They think of DRM. EA can make well-reasoned arguments about why it won't put up with Valve's DLC requirements all day long and it won't matter: the company has not put in the legwork to make friends with the PC gaming community.
This entire debate can be boiled down to the simple fact that people already use Steam, they like Steam, and they resent being forced to set up an account with another service to play a game. This is especially true when it's a brand-new, untested storefront that's being driven by a company that has given PC gamers every reason to be skeptical. It's unclear if Battlefield 3 will be enough of a draw to make customers forget that fact.
For many gamers, Steam is PC gaming and, while threats of a boycott often seem hollow, in this case it will be as if the game simply doesn't exist for many Steam users.

Can we start seeing some new media in regards to the game that actually get us to be psyched. Why do I care for an old jet plane being put on display at some conference. I'd love to see some new video clips or screenshots instead of the recycled crap we've been seeing since march.
GamesCom is in 8 days. If the rumours are correct about Conquest and Jets being revealed there, there should be an accompanying trailer video released also.
Until then, it's just recycled shit...

Product: Theme Park | Publisher: EA Mobile | Genre: Simulation
by Will Wilson
Two giants of EA gaming past and present will be heading to iOS later this year, the company has told Pocket Gamer - the classic Amiga / PC / console management title Theme Park and the next portable iteration of DICEs Battlefield series.
Not too many details have been revealed about the contents of this mobile version of Battlefield 3 just yet, but given the previous release (Battlefield Bad Company 2) was set alongside the events of the home console version, we expect the action in this title to follow a similar path - setting the game in an earthquake-hit Iraq, rather than with Sweetwater and co.
But despite our love for shooting terrorists in the face (virtually, I mean), its the appearance of Theme Park that has the office running around like lunatics, eating chips with unhealthy levels of salt, and making motions to shake each others hand in a dark room before suddenly pulling away at the last minute.
Theyre from the game, in case you were wondering / worried.
Running theme
One of Bullfrogs finest creations, Theme Park tasks you with running various amusement parks across the world. You'll have to pull in punters with fun and exciting rides, make sure theyre kept happy with a decent level of staff, and extract as much cash from their sweaty palms as you can.
Its widely regarded as one of the best management games ever made, thanks to its cheery disposition and engaging gameplay, so were very much looking forward to seeing it on iOS.
Both games are likely to be demonstrated next week at Gamescom, so well have more concrete information for you then
