BC2 at least it is polished. Vehicular's are not OP since release, no classes are truly bad unlike bf3. But the maps in bf3 in bc2 and i %100 guaranteeing you that mojority bf3 players would just quit and move over to it.
BC2 was total ass at release, especially the server browser.

What class is bad in BF3? Even if there is a class you may be weaker on, at least you have an assortment of PDW weapons to choose from to suit your gaming style.

Just the fluidity of movement and player control in BF3 alone is enough for me never to want to play BC2 again. Even though there are tons of other reasons, for example Bc2's wallhack spotting and retarded revive systems.

And vehicles should be overpowering to infantry. Just ask this guy:

Unreal Tournament III has never bored me since is started playing it, and i still play it: after 3-4yrs. UT99 never did either.

Only thing I am bored of is dying, over and over and over and over but that's not BF3's fault :eek:

Server browser is a non-issue on my rig. Never had an issue so far (knock on wood). Prone position was something I missed in BC2.

To the guy who wants to hit his monitor after playing: Gym memberships are cheaper than taking time off work to nurse a broken hand :) These type of games do need stress relievers. Strange but true. :eek:

That dude is my hero. And the tank didnt kill him, so eat it! :biggrin:

If there were enough armor to go around then fine, but there isnt, so f em.

Hmmm, 64 tanks duking it out on Caspian Border. Now that would be something to see! :D

Yeah... and I would be the only support guy running around with C4 trying to blow them up :D

I always get a thrill doing that - not knowing wither I get caught up in the blast and killing myself by accident which normally happens 50% of the time because the tank some how moves closer right when i click on trigger...

Ive been doing that a lot lately. Ive been working on getting the flag defender medal and getting 2-3 kills + vehicle destroyed with C4 at my flag is just sooooooo satisfying. :D

@Arkaign, thanks for replying. The reason I want to wait is I'll be retiring this coming June so I can do a fresh install I just dont want to re-install everything again, it freaking takes forever :)

And also my current system runs absolutely great so why change anything? plus its only one game that I cant play, however, I do understand that the newer games will be going that way....peace!!

Uhmm no, BF3 is awesome! I mean if you get bored with it, that's fine, but to say that you rahter play BC2 over BF3 is just a mind numbing statement.

Oh and if there was any way I'd get bored with BF3, it was all errased instantly with the Karkand maps.. oh my, to play those classic BF2 maps on BF3 engine... GLORIOUS!!!

I like some of the Rush maps from BC2 more than the ones on BF3. I also liked how you could just blow out some of the MCOMs. I preferred it when you could accidently blow up your MCOM because now people can just nade/rocket spam their own MCOM without any repercussion. In BC2, blowing up your own MCOM was like -200 points.

Not a big fan of the oversaturated look of BF3. I got like 10 or 15 C4 tank kills one night. It's harder when there's a 3rd seat in the tank. I usually look on the map and try to hop in real close so you're in the blind spot. The hardest thing is when you blow up 1 tank and then you're left with 2 c4s. So, you have to reload ammo while you drop c4 on a 2nd tank. Two is usually good enough for a disable and on pub usually will result in a blown up tank, but you won't get the player kills because they'll hop out.

Agreed.

I think I would still be on foot cussing at the tanks and choppers. If I wanted to drive a tank I would play Battlezone. :p

Isn't there a multiplay called "World of Tanks" - they had a huge showing at E3 this past June, even with a huge ass tank parked outside the LA convention center - I even got a minature tank from their goodie bags...:D

Take some time off. And also buy the Karkand maps pack.

I suck balls at bf3 like a 1/3 k/d ratio. :( I still have a blast though

I know there was a game like that released recently, but the only name of a tank game I could think of was Battlezone. :biggrin: World of Tanks is apparently an MMO. Looking at some gameplay, 32/64 player all tank BF3 would be better.

i was a long time ago. havnt played it in weeks. But i don't care for most MP games in general for some reason. BF3 and U3 would be the only 2 i would ever play IF i do play again...until a sequal of course. Got so many games on both PC and PS3, some not played yet. its hard for me to go back to older games.

One thing I kind of wish they'd bring back from 1942 is the way rounds ended. I thought the way it used to work was even if your team had no flags left, the game played out until the last player was killed. It made close matches tense all the way to the very end. Now, even if you've got half your team alive, the counter just drops to zero and the round ends.
1942 + Forgotten Hope = Priceless.

Content-wise, nothing comes even close. Certainly, not a silly BF3 ;-p

LOL! Patrick Bach recently gave an interview in which he proudly declared they "nailed" BF3. Over on EA UK, there was a thread denouncing this, and a poll thread, the thread disappeared and the poll thread just got locked after the poll had reached 363 votes for "No, they screwed it, not nailed it", and 32 votes for "Yes, it is a true successor to BF2". Nice censorship, EA.

I played BC2 after getting it for $5 on Steam. I plan on following a similar plan with BF3 (obviously not waiting for it to get as low as $5, but cheaper than it is now). I'm also pretty sure I will like BF3 more than BC2.

So you're willing to deprive yourself the awesomeness of BF3 for a few more months to save $20? I'm as tight as anyone but when it got to $40 I jumped aboard. Some battles aren't worth the fight IMO and waiting a few months ,for an insignificant amount of money, when I could of been playing and enjoying myself just isn't one of them.

I'm not a die hard BF player though. I enjoy the games, but no where near as much as I enjoy Team Fortress 2. So I will wait, and probably get the game when it hits $20-$30.

Also, I don't have a high end rig at the moment, and I'd rather play the game at full/high settings. So while I am waiting for the game to get cheaper, I'm also waiting to do my next big upgrade first.

He obviously isn't too eager to play it, which isn't really all that shocking.

The game is BC3. Some don't value that as highly as a true successor for the BF series would be.

Wait, I thought this was the true BF successor? :confused:

Looks like I might be waiting for another $5 sale after all. :\
