so if bf2-BC is to bf3 then bf3 is to ???

Do not want any more than 64 players. A nice thought, but it wouldn't pan out well, both in terms of gameplay and technical capabilities of servers.

God the thread title is so confusing.

I still thinks it's funny how everyone knows so much about BF3 when all we know is that it exists. Go easy on stating theories as fact. :P

I would gladly sacrifice graphics for huge maps like BF2. I think a few months before BF3 is released they should give away BF2 for free. I bet that would be a good way to get people into the Battlefield universe.

I love and hate jets. I sometimes get a kick out of watching a bomb falling from the sky at my face as i try to run away from it but lately its been too much. I feel jets should have to land to rearm. This way like said above it would give people a little more time to travel and cap flags.

Also, I am sure EA is noticing how Activision is making all this money on the CoD series being across all platforms. I would not be surprised if there is a BF3 console versions as well. Maybe they would be watered down, I dont know.

Crunch

The problem is devs aren't watering down the console versions of games from awesome PC games anymore. The status quo has flipped.
They're lowering all versions to the lowest common denominator.
I expect to see a max of 24-32 players on the console versions with maps appropriate for those numbers. And on the PC let's say 40 players max with maps appropriate for 24-32 players.

And a big reason people play IO is the lack of jets. Giving one player the ability to rape the entire battlefield isn't fun for the other players. Even the people on jet jockey's team lose out because there is no one left to kill after the jet rapes spawns. Or they get teamkilled while trying to do some spawn camping of their own.
And you have the pr0ws who say "get out of my way, this is the best way to win." Yup, it's the easiest way to win. We'll just sit back here and let you rape them. Mind if we just go home? You seem to have this whole "war" thing all wrapped up.
Funny how people have the same arguments against solo-choppers but don't mind one of their clan members having the same effect in a jet...

Thats very true, I fly a lot too and I'm not the best or worst but I know a good pilot when i see one and he can litterally like you say own the entire maps. Even if his team doesn't win the dude racks up so many points anyways so it doesn't even matter. The real fact is that something so powerful with no flaw doesn't really comprehend me at all. Its like HAVING 3 MEWTWO'S ON YOUR TEAM! >.<

Re: so if bf2-BC is to bf3 then bf3 is to ???

yeah i wouldn't mind if jets aren't player controlled and just be called in for airstrikes... sorta replacing artilery/orbital strikes. although a lot of anti-COD guys here wouldn't agree with me.

Nah, they need to be player controlled.

Re: so if bf2-BC is to bf3 then bf3 is to ???

I agree with it but I think jets are way too overpower in the hands of a good pilot and they are suppose to be that way but in BF2 they are hated on by many people because of that. I didn't mind them much at all. I really think that you can fix bomb spam by simply making resupply a little slower that way the ground pounder can at least make it from point A to point B safely sometimes. COD did a good thing making jets as air raid on a certain route you choose. It's simply fixable because jets can cover way too much grounds especially with thier fast resupply making it almost impossible to travel on vehicles.
Anywho back to the main point YES they should of just scrapped bad company and contribute more things to bad company 2 to make it bf3! With COD2 comming out I'm going to be saying "sayonara!"... thats japanese for "see ya!"

Actually, we already have BF3. Its called Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Because who needs jets, right? Who needs vehicles? BF2 most popular servers are all Infantry Only, in city maps, so we know that BF community in fact doesnt want any vehicles. Which brings us to COD4, which has an improved infantry fighting model, better stat tracking, better unlocks, better voting system [sic!] and better better system which is much better.

So in fact, BFBC2 is to COD4 that Mario is to BF5! :shock:

Youre right mr chris but you are missing the biggest aspect of battlefield! You know what bf2 has that cod don't....BIG MAPS and squad play

nobody complained about vehicles. they are integral part of the BF experience. we're just complaining about jets and how they own the entire battlefield making it no fun for everyone else.

No its not. The game that started it all, BF1942 didnt have squads and it was immensely popular. In fact, DC didnt have any squads either and that mod is the reason why we have BF2. BF2 squads brought a whole ton of problems to competitive gaming.

As for big maps. ArmA has bigger maps than BF2 does, yet its not popular. BF2 has much bigger maps than Karkand, yet they are not played.

Now, up until now Ive just been joking and trying to show you that the lack of jets doesnt make for a better BF experience.

You guys seem to be so hung up on BF2 air aspect screwed up, that you would rather have no air, than overpowered air. Has any of you two played POE2 mod? Its basically a "fixed up" BF2, and air is perfectly balanced there. Pilots still get monster kills, but you can easily lock up 25% of the map with just one anti-air vehicle. Point is- BF2 air can easily be fixed and your opinion of BFBC2 and actual *suppport* for no air is exactly the reason why we get 8 maps, less vehicles, but more stats and unlocks. Its also the reason why having 8 maps only means DLC [sic!] *'ka-ching!*.

Re: so if bf2-BC is to bf3 then bf3 is to ???

I was thinking the same thing, why isnt this the new BF3? It looks freaking amazing!

What is it about BF BC that makes it NOT BF3? Is it on a much smaller scale like 1943 or something? Either way thats an awesome base to work off of! Im excited as hell!

[VoraciousBear]

Re: so if bf2-BC is to bf3 then bf3 is to ???

Well its not the new BF3. Remember they said they would be releasing BF3 probably early next year. If you think BC2 is great wait till you see BF3. Anyways I am real excited for BC2.

Re: so if bf2-BC is to bf3 then bf3 is to ???

BF3 ain't coming out early next year. they never said anything like that.
