Really no incentive anymore

Re: Really no incentive anymore

But that issue is there regardless of the number of rank, pins and unlocks available to you.
I like having a goal too, but you must have OCD to keep playing for that goal if the game sucks otherwise.

I'm a little bit on the OCD side, I like having goals and things to do in game, but when doing those things gets tiring/boring, (which it was never in games like BF2/2142 heck even the cod series) it starts putting me off playing totally.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

My concern is that if they do release a map pack, they'll make the same mistake they did with BF2 and try and charge for it...limiting its deployment base. DiCE needs to stop it with repackaging a game with old code and calling it something different. Now with the digital age and DLC easy to release, they don't need to make another BF Vietnam or BF 2142 where they split up the community and user base. Dividing their talent to work on a step-child project takes away their growth in dominating a single market. And this modern shooter market is very competitive too so they need to play it right or this title, for as much as it has made them, will start to drop off in sales instead of continuing to gain 'late-comer' sales like myself.

As for allowing MOD support. WTF are they thinking? It seems like EVERYTHING in this game is stolen ideas from the MOD community in general. Hardcore mode...that sure has hell looks like Project Reality to me! Battlefield2...stolen again from Desert Combat! Various forms of attack like Rush...hmmm...

I think they have been listening to the forums over the last 7 years. They knew what not to do when it came to overstretching themselves, but I they need to keep up on the DLC if they want to keep the servers full.

Agreed w/ Crunch.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

The big question is will BF3 be able to bring back the magic of BF2. I thought BC2 would but I think it fell short.

No

Re: Really no incentive anymore

Im in the SC2 beta since february but your account is reset each patches so there's little point to keep playing unless you really enjoy it or want to be a 1337 pgm at the game release, but having played Company of Heroes competitively I know it becomes more frustrating than anything when you reach a higher level (and you have to constantly watch a lot of replays and be informed of new tactics). I rather wait for the solo and play the multi for fun with friends.

So right now I play nothing. I'm waiting for new maps and wondering if I reinstall BF2 for FH2.

Mod support for BC2? One can dream I guess.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

They wont do it though, too much work involved for them its easier to release 1 map for all bit of a shame really.

That is why mod support should have been released with the game. Let the PC players make the maps and then DICE can approve the ones they like and release as a free map pack. That way DICE still has control of what is released for the game.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

They should make PC specific maps for the PC version and console specific maps for the consoles. Problem solved.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

We need more maps! That would keep me interested for a while but playing the same ones over and over is driving me nuts.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

I have fun with RTS singleplayer games but really have no fun with the multiplayer part of it.

Yeah, it is not the same as fisting it out.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

Me and a couple of friends went in the other day just to goof off and had a great time. Were were putting C4 on everything, UAV, Heli, ATV etc., and driving it into things like the M-comm and the enemies and blowing them up lol. Had a blast. Try that if you get bored. It is just a game and not to be taken seriously.

StarCraft2 just was announce in July...

Personally, I might just have to go back to Zombies vs Plants if this game starts to suck on me.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

Im glad i have barely touched Assault and havent unlocked a few guns in that class. That will give me something to do for the meantime.

Re: Really no incentive anymore

The question is is what else is out there then to play right now. Will you got back to MW2 or BF2?
