I do like the new map packs, but I seriously hope that BF3 is more like BF2. Enough with this dumbing down for consoles, we want 64 (or 128) multiplayer online with gigantic maps, jets, commander system and more!!

+10 to that,Im sick of games developers just taking the easy option and porting games from console to pc these days.

I don't know about that. MAG had 128 players and ended up sucking pretty badly (arguably, that's because it was on ps3, but ignore that for a moment). More isn't always better. There certainly is a dumbing down going on in games, but I think that's just more of a loss in quality. We don't need quantity to make up for that loss of quality, however original and unique ideas and gameplay certainly would make up for it. I'm sure this influx of poorer quality games coming out has something to do with the industry pumping more and more games out (eg activitions COD doing a game per year), rather than simply upgrading or working on existing games and mechanics to make them better. But what are we to do.

As far as BF3 is concerned, how would you guys feel about a MW2 gun specialization style added to that game? I feel kind of restricted having the same guns over and over again. Okay 2 out of the 12 the class offers you is good. I prefer new content being added to keep interests and add edges. :gun:

That would kill it for me.
One of the reasons I liked BF2 was that the kits had no specializations/perks. Now BC2 sorta has it which is the thing that bothers me but the game is still go so yeah

Well im pissed off atm,Since buying the Specact Kit DLC on steam two weeks ago it would not unlock getting this error.

OMG.png


I sent Steam Support an Email and have still got no responce,so i contacted EA Live support and they said to me that the Key Steam gave to me is showing up as Invalid and EA cannot help me any further,So i said to the guy at EA...what happens if Steam never get back to me?....he would not answer me and just kept saying you need to contact Steam.

Really annoying,Theyre quick enough to take your cash though.

Hey so Steam is having a sale on BC2 its $7 and figured since its so cheap might as well get it for my dad since he really likes it, thing is I installed from box/dvd on his computer to see how it would play but he still prefers playing it on my computer.

My question is, if I buy it off steam do i have to download the whole game again or can i maybe move the BC2 folder from the EA folder into the Steam folder

That's true, but at least 64 players would be nice. BF2 had that and it worked brilliantly.

What I think BF3 needs is the gun customizations of MW2 (I don't know about Blackops, I think making your own skins and reticles is just pushing it too far) and the maps and commander + squad system of BF2. I don't want another game that gives me ADHD when I play it.

Anyone having random disconnects lately? its happened 3 times so far this week and its always towards the end of the bloody game when you have earned all the points!!!!

Ive been trying out weapons that i usualy dont use,And i must say the GOL is a fantastic Sniper rifle,cant believe i didnt bother using it before.

Really been enjoying the new maps too,Harvest Day is amazing for Sniping & Tank battles.

Don't be surprised if people get very hostile towards you when you kill them with the GOL. There are a lot of people who hate people who use the GOL because it doesn't have any scope sway. :p

one question though, do people really don't like the tank, because in most servers i've played nobody gets in the the tanks. also, sometimes i see somebody from my team get it so i get in to ride the machine gun, but it's usually some noob taht can't drive it! :p

srlsy wha'ts up with this?
