The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

yeh battlefield was never really about realism, it had the realistic elements to a degree but at its heart it put you into a battle gave you a crapload of cool toys and told you to go beat the enemy over the head with it

realism aspects can be used sometimes to improve the fairness of gameplay I suppose, such as prone delays etc otherwise Battlefield accels in its arcade balance because of the speed and flow of gameplay

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

Yeah BF has never been about total realism. Its actually somewhere in the middle between arcade and realistic, but leans slightly toward arcade. I personally would like it more to the middle. My biggest issue is things that are extremely unrealistic, like the 10 foot high bunny-hopping in BF2. That killed BF2 for me.

So its not that i want realism, i just dont want extreme unrealisms.

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

Nah, I think BF2 hit the nail on the head in terms of gameplay for me. I don't really want anything more realistic, I like it the way it is. I like the environment and context to be realistic, but gameplay to be quick.

Quick gameplay shouldn't come at the cost of immersion of the game. BF2 is more of a bunnyhopping jump shooter than a war game. In BF1942 and mods like DC you had more of that war feeling because they weren't so extreme unrealistic.

BF2 is more of a bunnyhopping jump shooter than a war game.

And so it should be.

Realism =/= Immersive gameplay.

Realism =/= Immersive gameplay.

Guys jumping 2m in the air like oversized rabbits and diving like dolphins to asphalt while headshotting while in the meantime your HUD is full of markings and text reminding that it is 'just a game'.

and all this with stupid allah blabber radiospam on the background (not background actually, it comes over the game sounds so spam is all you hear) annoying you in a 24/7 nonstop stream.

= Non immersive gameplay.

I think it is. They successfully ported the PC version of Frostbite and Bad Company 2 to DX11.

Re: The BF3 Speculation/Wishes Thread

Bad company is dx10 on frostbite 1.x engine. Only frostbite 2 is DX11(dx10 but not dx9, if bf3 is on frostbite2 then it will only work on dx10+ compatible pc, but thats fine) and its not finished.

So very true, my friend. :nod:

So very false. Without HUD's and realistic sounds/gameplay games are far more immersive. Makes it easier to feel like you are there.

If you see yourself inside a game then you're simply deluding yourself, it's just a game... and even the realistic ones are always a far cry from the real thing.

Yep but it is Frostbite 1.5 not 2.0 so my theory is still alive. Frostbite 2 is BF3 and beyond(with no DX9/XP support). AMD says BC2 Q1/2010 and Frostbite 2.0 2010.

The updated chart from AMD is here:

The headline should be "BF3: sooner than you think"
