DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

Yeah, actually I was. It seems to have about 1/3 the content and capabilites that BF2 did, and the (planned) price somewhat reflects that.

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

3 maps, 3 classes and a third of the max player count. I consider his claim apt.

I don't think he was talking about figures

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

You claim its 1/3 of BF2, but you dont know because you haven't played it yet, why do people continue to pass judgement on stuff they don't even know yet, its beyond me...im getting tired of the same old arguement now, im tired of this abandon the horse before it races crap, seriously guys, just chill out and wait.

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

Thank you. Perhaps the only person in this thread with the right view.

Simply, you cannot judge a game on a trailer. You cannot judge a game on single descriptions like "unlimited ammo".
You cannot judge a game by its name. And finally you cannot fully judge a game by its predecessor. BF2142 is totally different to BF2.

The whole purpose of a trailer and game descriptions are to get you interested in playing and buying the game. Trailers put their best foot forward, and game descriptions are written in a way so as to entice people to purchase the product. What we know so far is that this is a highly consolised version of a BF-style game, with less than half as many players possible per map, unlimited ammo and regenerating health (so no support or medic troopers), and every class being able to destroy vehicles. You no longer have to rely on others to fill your weak points on the battlefield because you can do it all yourself, thereby eliminating the need for much of the teamwork from the other BFs.

And while BF2142 is indeed different than BF2, there are many similarities that make it obvious it's part of the mainstream BF franchise.

DICE have never released a multi platform game. And so you cannot look to the past to criticise this decision. You may look to other games, however these games were not produced by DICE, so it is not an accurate interpretation.

Just a thought, isn't BF2 a multi platform game? With BF2 modern warefare released on consoles. But then again, you all have ignorently made up your mind about BF1943 and discredit this view when you know its true.

Well, have they or haven't they? Make up your mind.

With that in mind, you guys have minimal to no evidence that BF1943 or BF:BC2 will be bad games. Please stop complaining.

Similarly to you having no idea whether they will be good games. Please stop telling everyone to stop complaining simply because they don't share your blind fanboi optimism. They have a right to voice their displeasure as much as you do to bend over and take whatever you're given.

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

Doubtful. While there will always be dissenters and criticisms, by and large a 'traditional' PC-exclusive-esque 64 or higher player game resembling BF2 would go over quite well with the fanbase, regardless of the era (well, okay, maybe BF1492 with mounted cavalry and 80% melee combat wouldn't, but you get my drift). The fact is that what was announced (BF1943) wasn't that at all, and it remains to be seen what we can expect from BC2. It's not really fair to expect the fans to mess themselves with excitement over the announcement of a game that is essentially 1/3 of what BF2 was.

If DICE were to announce today that they're making a BF3 that's in the tradition of BF1942/BF:V/BF2/BF2142 then I guarantee you'd have far more :yay: than .

Yup, I agree. Even though I perfer modern warfare I would still be happy with a WW2 BF game that fits the specifications that the majority wants. It's BF1943's specs that annoy me, not the setting it's in.

lol with this group, no chance anyone will bow, they'll pick it apart like Raptor around a sheep, they'll always be something wrong, never good enough for the fans.

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

2142 didn't sell as well as DICE and EA expected but in no way was it a "fail" - I'm not saying it because it's my favourite BF game but there are lots of people playing, not on the levels of BF2 but modern day games just sell better.

Screw Modern warfare! That is so repetitive, boring, innane. Man, I have played over 200 hours of Battlefield 2 before ditching it for the infinetly better Battlefield 2142, and let me tell you, Battlefield 2 is mess compared to 2142.


Battlefield 2142 team actually used their brain when they created everything in the game, instead of actually just copying things from the present.

Frontlines is also a good example of future warfare done right(Battlefield 2142 did that too).

Problem with Frontlines, is that it is not futuristic enough.

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

I doubt a bf2143 will come out considering how big a fail 2142 was.

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

I doubt a bf2143 will come out considering how big a fail 2142 was. BF3 is what we have been asking for, and instead we get another flashback of ww2 era tech,

Well I'm sick of history hence why I did not buy Cod5. I want an updated BF2 modern warfare game damnit and so do most others! The fact is someone over @ DICE/EA is failing to do there research on there customers more carefully.

And I absolutely refuse this BS of having to buy a consol to continue a game I initially found on the PC. Infact, what other BF seriies have been on the consol? To my knowledge, none. Now why is it that Cad Company is exclusively only for Xbox? Because EA made a deal with Microsoft probably. All it comes down to is maximizing $$$ in there eyes, not the consumers.

Newho this is my first and last post about this crap. I don't care for gossip much but for people who like to carry it on, try to look outside of the box once and a while.

Welcome to a forum where gossip is talked about and debated.

6.80 billion people around the world, this forum is a spec in its rear. To my point, everyone here might want modern warfare, everyone else might want world war 2, in my own opinion, i like WW2 games, i love the history to them, the story, the facts. I'm looking forward to some WW2 dog fights where they are pretty same advantage, let alone this missle lock stuff today, you want modern warfare fair enough, you'll just have to wait abit longer.

Also to say BF2142 was a huge failure a fair deal of people play the game so i disagree with that, there will be a BF2143 i guarandamntee it, because you don' like it doesn't mean the 6.80 billion other people don't.

Re: DICE Could Have Made a Great BF3

I just dont understand bf 1943. Bf heroes i can see that they are just trying something new, but bf 1943 looks exactly the same except that it might be aimed toward an older audience... I just dont understand why they are making 2 'mini' games instead of putting their resources to bf3.

Have you thought BF1943 is a test phase game? they're testing to see if it works? And think of the chronological order of BF games.

BF1942
BF2
BF2142

The next game you see will be BF1943 bang on target, after that the almighty BF3 will be released, then BF2143, get my drift?

I'll put my bottom Fiver on that, better yet i put my bottom Twenty on this, When BF3 is released....Everyone will dislike it....Know why? Because of this big hype around it, life just does not live up to the hype, COD 5 Showed us that.

Whatever, this makes no sense, I suppose I'll continue to play BF2. But DICE is not going to get my money for any 24-player, console to PC port.
