I love people like you. Makes me giddy.

Either

1) You're trolling, just like OP, but are much better at hiding it or
2) You really think BF3 is a failure and didn't buy it, in which case, good. We don't want players like you anyway.

Win/win!

And I don't want to imply I'm special or anything but I honestly knew it was a joke thread the second I read the title. I just couldn't wait to read the "OMG R U OUT OF UR MIND!!?" responses. This forum is a bit too bright though.

(BTW, in Activision's defense...it's hard as hell to render decent foliage without there being a massive performance hit. Got to hand it to the consoles, at least they render it at 60 fps.)

If people were tired of the CoD games they wouldn't sell 6.5 million copies.

1) i'm not trolling.
2) what kind of player am I? I've never played a game with you that I know of, so how would you know how I play games?


It's obvious that the OP was a troll thread. Pretty much every CoD thread on this forum is a troll thread full of trolls saying the same trollish comments every time.

"hay gaiz!, MW3 grafix r da saym az da last cawa doody grafix! lulz!"
"lulz! moar ov da saym agen! I wont play!"
"not payen $60 fer anuver cawa doody xpanshun, lulz!"
"BF3 rox, lulz"

As far as I'm concerned, gameplay is more important than graphics. And while I do not personally enjoy CoD games, you have to hand it to them for for consistently giving their customers the gameplay they want, not sacrificing it for better graphics.

And DICE? Starting with BF3, they will consistently give CoD players a product that tries to excel over CoD not with gameplay per se but with graphics.

Who loses? The players of the previous BF games.

i read your post just fine. let me break it down for your feeble "lulz, CoD sucks" mind.


you asked "Why should I pay $60 to keep playing, when I can keep playing for free...?"

and I said "you don't have to"

is that easier for you to understand now?

Yes. Only for single player. Are you implying there is something wrong with that?

I just didn't know people did that. More power to you.

Honest-to-god, I did absolutely nothing. Those shots really were taken on High settings.

You can see for yourself if you have the game. When you're not sprinting back and forth through a bunch of explosions, stop and take a second to actually look at the game's textures. They're that bad.

I played the multiplayer during the free weekend a couple of weeks ago, and it didnt look anything like that. I was running it with everything maxed, the characters and weapons actually looked really good. However, the foliage, buildings, and what-not were pretty sad to look at, but not nearly as ugly as those screenshots.

I would love to see what Activision's minion devs could do if they were trying to make large maps for 64 players.

You see, graphics isn't everything. I'd rather the graphics be held back a bit in order to drive framerates up. CoD is probably holding them back too much, but it's pretty clear EA is willing to push the envelope even if the game doesn't play smooth for everyone.

A middle ground would probably work wonders.

It may have been the particular level I was playing. It takes place outdoors in an African setting. They had to render lots of trees and plants while dealing with a strict polygon budget, which is why the entire level looks like ass.

To confirm, I was playing multiplayer earlier and stopped to look at some of the trees. They don't look quite that bad after all.
 
Nice OP, "hyena mechanics" 😀

CoD is for console playing scrubs :thumbsdown:

BF3 is for the pc gaming master race :thumbsup:

CoD1/CoD UO - :thumbsup:
CoD2 - :thumbsup:
CoD4 Modern Warfare - :thumbsup:

Modern Warfare2 - :thumbsdown:
Black Ops :thumbsup:
Modern Warfare 3 - :thumbsdown:

lol my opinion is exactly the same as yours except I'd add in battlefield 2 and give it a thumbs up.
 
Graphics are amazing?!?

Its a 12 year old game engine that runs on 5 year old hardware on high settings with no issues.

Well then, the odds are good that I would have liked BF2 also, had I played it. LOL

You talked in the other thread about DICE finally making a game where you can hit people you're shooting at...if you haven't played BF2, how would you know to complain about inaccurate weapons? If you played BC2, the weapons in that one are only slightly less deadly than BF3.

BC2's accuracy is horrendous! Hence the thumbs down, if BF2 was worse than that.... then no, I would have hated it.

I was merely going by AznAnarchy99's post saying: "lol my opinion is exactly the same as yours except I'd add in battlefield 2 and give it a thumbs up.".

Based upon that I figured we liked the same type of games and I would have like BF2 also.

BC2 accuracy is horrendous? It's almost MORE spray and pray than BF3...

I completely disagree. I found BC2's weapons to be more accurate, and do more damage than in BF3. Its actually one of my main complaints in BF3. For an example, the AN94 was amazingly good in BC2, but is nearly worthless in BF3.

Im a bit confused by this post.^

Yes BC2 weapon accuracy is awful, you have to spray and pray with the automatic weapons and on top of that they are terribly weak. It would take half a mag just to take anyone down. I refused to play BC2 on normal, it was Hardcore or nothing.

There is little spraying and praying for me in BF3 even on normal because I can hit what Im aiming at and land good clean kill shots to the head and torso.

I think there's confusion about what spray and pray means...let's just drop the pray part. BC2 and BF3 both let you spray and get kills. BF3 is a little less forgiving of spraying at long range, but just burst or tapfire and you're good to go; even someone sprinting perpendicular to you at medium range won't last long unless cover is 5 feet away or less.

Obviously BF2 took the un-deadliness to an extreme, BC2 and BF3 are both at the opposite extreme.
 
Activision is laughing their way all the way to the bank. God I hate that game. There is such a cult following for it, that they could just come knock on your door and piss on your foot for 60 bucks.

I would pay an additional $50 a year to get special colored urine.
