then I could see that. On the pc with the larger maps and player count on its still battlefield. The gun play has gotten tighter/more cod'ish since battlefield 2, but that's a good thing. The bf2 gun play was weak. Random cone of fire rather than actual recoil to control was awful. The small maps like metro and grand bazaar (plus the cq expansion) are obvious pandering to the cod kids, but there are enough good maps
Seriously... running into a 6 inch curb and the game treating it like a 6 foot boulder was insanely annoying.
I just hope they allow you to continue to shoot while jumping or going prone. That's my biggest beef with this series/engine. Close quarter battles are 90% determined by who saw who first.
Gonna totally disagree. I know bf isn't going for super realism, but shooting while jumping around is absurd. Stuff like that should stay in cod ImoI just hope they allow you to continue to shoot while jumping or going prone. That's my biggest beef with this series/engine.

ridiculously fun, that is.**except quickscoping...that's just taking advantage of a bug in the game.
I dunno...Halo is all about shooting and jumping around and most feel that it is one of the most skill based shooters out there...ETA: Just give me a way to make the one on one combat more fun/skill based than it was in BF3 and I will be happy. I can do fine in a "I was more prepared than you therefore I win this gun battle" game but I find it boring.Gonna totally disagree.

The dolphin diving can stay in BF2.
I don't see any reason why the next gen consoles shouldn't be able to compete better with the PC versions as far as scope/player size/etc. Hopefully the gap will be bridged and the game will just be that much better.I've harped on this in other threads before, but I much prefer gaming from my recliner with my controller on my 50 inch TV and nice sound system than I do sitting at a desk with a keyboard, mouse, and headset. I know that you CAN play PC on large screen, but it's just difficult and not the same.
Bf4 is coming out on current gen, but with reduced specs (lower graphics, smaller player count). It will probably basically be a Bf3 level game with new maps and features. Next gen is apparently getting 32 players instead of the current 24. Still not PC, but that's a lot better (assuming the maps are properly designed)The issue with the player count on consoles is usually bandwidth rather than graphical power.
Overall there's more skill in BF3, no question. COD has so many ways to cheaply kill someone, has aim assist and scorestreaks and all that cheese. In BF3 bullet damage seems lower, sniper rifles don't behave like shotguns in close range, and most exposives have less damage radius and do less damage overall. But, when it comes to close quarter combat, man-on-man SMG vs SMG fights, there's less skill in BF3, imo. In COD, you can plain vanilla strafe and shoot, you can drop shot, you can jump sideways and dive while shooting, you can jump right at him and hope for a head shot while hoping he shoots your legs. In BF3, you can either strafe and shoot, or run. That's it. Boring.That being said, I still found the close quarters map pack decent in BF3, just not as fun as COD. The rest of BF3 I got bored of pretty quick though - don't find it fun driving/riding/taking out vehicles, and find the maps too big. Far too often I would run halfway across the map to look for kills, only to find out they've either all died, moved on, or are camped out and kill me quick. It was pretty common to go a good 5 minutes without firing my weapon. I guess that what happens when you port a PC game to consoles...the player/map size ratio stinks.
Couldn't disagree with this more.
I guess most ppl are a fan of standing still and shooting. I don't understand the appeal of this. That was new and fun 10 years ago.
Doesn't really seem like this game is for you. You seem to hate all the core components of the franchise and like the parts that vets of the series hate.
This is why I feel that there is room in the FPS genre for Battlefield, Call Of Duty and Halo. You don't have to pick and choose. Also, EA/Dice needs to stop trying to make Battlefield into Call of Duty.
I think what I really want is something in between Battlefield and Call of Duty. COD is too nooby while Battlefied's gun combat is bland. I really enjoyed Killzone 2 but that game suffered from a mediocre engine/gameplay mechanics. Anyways, I'll probably end up buying BF4 anyways, just like I did BFBC2 and BF3.
When I joined the game we were already up 1-0. Most of my team was clearly camping the base...most of the action consisted of: "Enemy bikes into our base, our guys blow up enemy bike, or, if he manages to escape that, our guy kills enemy shortly after he gets off bike".
I am always in the 30+ kill/death range (total, some games 26-4 others closer to 1 k/d or less). Most of the servers I play in end up with my entire team going for the enemy flag and I make the choice to defend as no one else will. When attacking I always start from the enemy spawn moving up, most of the time I have to rambo it because my teammates suck, but every once in a while you get a good in a good server where you can work with teammates.When I joined the game we were already up 1-0.

I played for nearly 10 minutes and went 4-2
I would try another game mode but all the active games in the server searcher were CTF 24/7 glllllll
Sure! I'm in. However, it's hard to keep up with you. You're a f'n machine.
Meh, there are people out there that are 10X as good as me. Whenever I think I'm getting really good I just jump in a Jet. Humbles me very VERY quickly
I've been playing a lot lately. If you hope into the PURE server when I'm there, join their Team Speak server. All the info is on their server page. Really good people there. Tough to play against too.
I'm getting a little better at chopper flying myself. Not great. You can tell I'm a notice, but I don't crash immediately either.
Sounds like your trying to play battlefield as if it is cod. That doesn't work in the slightest. Use squad spawn or at captures locations. Not liking the vehicles makes it tough to play battlefield since they are a key component to the whole game.
You can play commander mode on your console or PC. The tablet is just another option (and IMO, a really cool one if it works. I could see myself picking up an IPAD just to command when I'm bored some place)
Well in that case its a hugely cool thing. This is the kind of thing I would get a tablet for a well.
