The more I hear about Battlefield 3 the less I want it. A couple of impressions of what DICE showed at the EA summer showcase mentioned that they added COD style twitch shooting in sections of Rush mode. Essentially imagine if you and your team just destroyed the other teams, whatever it will be, and then the next section of the map takes place in a tight corridor like environment which tailors to COD style twitch shooting. I was always under the impression that DICE was making the stupid decision to add game modes for that style of play and leaving the traditional Battlefield play style alone. This strategy has me worried. I'm worried that by trying to make a game for everyone they end up making a game no one likes.

This is going to be a bummer year for first person shooter fans, MW3 is going to be more of the same, and Battlefield 3 isn't going to bring anything truly new to the table while losing much of what made it stand out.

I hope BF3's shooting is different.

People still give a shit about modern first-person military shooters? lmao

We can only hope that BF3 kicks ass.

I really hope it does, but I have no faith in DICE, they are trying to make a COD killer, and the only thing that can kill COD, is another COD.

Basically they are making a map that is more narrow, it has several different sections like other maps.. in BC2 and they are very varied from each other. So calm down.. this post makes me cringe. "Some person on the internet said that BF3 has a section that is a tight corridor, which makes it basically call of duty." All this thread needs is for you to declare that you are no longer going to buy the game because of it.

lol, it is only the highest selling genre, ROTLCOPTER?!?!?!?!

Having a mix of open traditional BF areas and smaller areas might actually be cool.
 
Also, say the modern FPS is played out is a bit silly to me. Surely many things in games are played out (JRPGs with anime style characters, sci fi RTS games) but people don't complain about that.

Because "highest selling" is a clear mark that they are some of the greatest videogames ever made.  You're an idiot.

@Napalm: No, because highest selling means, that alot of people care about it.

Learn basic logic, before accusing others of being "idiots".

Battlefield 3 Defense Force, GO!

LMAO and people continue to support the current road of video games! LMAO! Funny how much companies are just blindly getting away with. It doesn't matter like me typing this right now. Because people will never boycott video game companies because they need there fix.

He never said that. You asserted that no-one cares about the genre, which is clearly not the case.

Yes, take your juvenile arguments to Gamespy or another one of those forums that expect that sort of thing.

I ask you now, are YOU in fact the idiot?

Battlefield 3 Defense Force, GO!

No this was not some person. I read it from IGN.

And looking at the gameplay so far I think this is a pretty silly worry.

I think that sounds pretty cool, actually..Going from an open map to a small corridor metro sounds like a nice change of pace.

There will be large conquest maps for famous Battlefield battles.

I never said that. I was making fun. The genre is very stale and needs to make some improvements because in all honestly, things haven't changed since about 2007.

@mikey87144: I'm sure when it comes out there will be some mods that will alter the gameplay to suit your needs. Project Reality did this with Battlefield 2, I'm sure they will do it for Battlefield 3 :).

Except there won't be any mod support at launch, and possibly never will be.

@Chavtheworld: I never said I'm out. I'm just concerned. Whenever a developer says they want to reach a broader audience their games usually suffer from the "game is good at a lot of things but not great at anything."

@mikey87144: Operation Metro is all they've shown so far, and yeah, Rush is a console mode made for COD players anyway, so they are totally allowed to have it go from open environment, to up tight tube tunnels, and back out into the open again. Why not? What other games at the moment offer that kind of play-by-play approach and make you have to change tactics on the fly? Rush is pretty unique and I'm glad they're taking advantage of it in that way.  What you have to remember is Operation Metro is a 32 player map - there will be conquest maps hosting 64 dudes, and guess what? Some of them will be HUGE, WIDE OPEN areas, with VEHICLE COMBAT and none of that twitch style stuff you find so abhorrent. So don't start QQing yet.

Implying that guy ign isn't just some guy who played the game? It's a fact there is some parts of full sections of the maps that are quite narrow.

This game should be a PC only game I hate the fact that DICE feels the need to implement COD trash in there games BF is all about or was all about teamwork and strategy its not a arcade twitch shooter like COD.But theres no question I'm going to get BF3 conquest mode is all I care about I just hope they don't find a way to dumb it down they already got rid of commander ughh.

By twitch shooting you mean having decent reflexes? That kind of shooting dates all the way back to Quake. Not COD.

It doesn't make much sense in any case. Just the aiming in BF feels a bit slower to me, and there's a lot more animation stuff in BF3 on top of that. Plus it takes a fair amount of bullets to kill a guy which means strategy will often overcome reflexes in a firefight. It's just a stupid topic based on a typically reactionary thought stemming from seeing one single section of one single map, informed by judgements already cast and the misconstruing of anything and everything that has been said to reinforce what seems like a twisted, palpable hope that the game is actually bad.
