Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

Weapon damage in Hardcore mode in COD4? What balance? You either go RPD or silenced Scorpion. Every other weapon in the game is useless. I hope you meant "softcore", in which COD4 weapons are amazingly well balanced. Infact, the only class that would need work is the shotgun class, everything else is ready for deployment. Just throw in bullet drop and the game is ready for BF2 sized maps.

I believe he was joking.

I believe he was joking.

It did sound a little too ridiculous. Maybe he was.

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

No, I wasn't joking, but I think you misunderstood me. What I meant was not that the weapons were balanced, more that I would like to have seen the same amount of damage as hardcore mode CoD4. It literally only took a few shots to drop a player.

I can't remember how balanced the weapons were, it's been a long, long time since i've played CoD4 online.

Hardcore in COD4 was a joke, all you need a is a silenced G3 to kill everyone with one shot and have a 50-1 K/D

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

Maybe I didn't play for long enough to work out it was bad. Only spent about 2 weeks on it before I sold the game. Cancel my last point then :p

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

Hardcore mode like in CoD4 is way too drastic, most guns kill in one-two shots even at extreme ranges and particularly in a game like BFBC2 with a lot of open spaces it would ultimately lead to a very boring and slow play style. Weapons already hurt a lot from what we've seen from footage and it appears to be a pretty good mix of semi-realism and what's good for gameplay.

Oh, I see.

IIRC it took 3-4 (maybe 5?) shots to kill someone at full HP in BF2142. That never seemed too unreasonable, actually

Battlefield Vietnam had weapon damage just right. Not 1 shot 1 kill but not insane amounts like in BF2 either.

With assault rifles, 3-5 hits to the torso depending on the gun and body armor.

50 vs 50. More kinds of jets. I'd like 4 jets per team. This way jets really MUST focus on each other and not on killing infantry all the time. More maps that are great. Maps like Pearl and Karkand (idc wut u think). Still want a commander. I don't like being him, but having a command, I thought, was a really cool thing to have. MORE vehicles. Maybe 2-3 types of each vehicle. 2-3 tanks, apcs, favs, etc per team.

OH and gamemodes! DM, TDM, ctf, conquest, VIP ( team A must get chosen player from point A to point B.), and Headquarters (from cod)

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

DM? So you want 100 players on one server with more vehicles and DM? nar mate.

I only really want conquest, not even that fussed about gold rush that they introduced, VIP sounds interesting but I doubt it would really fit in with what BF3 should be.

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

I'd like VIP. Having to escort like some sort of political figure in humvees and the opposing team only has minimal civilian vehicles. But I think Conquest is really the bread and butter of BF.
