    i was playing with youtube doubler after watching this vid going around on r/gaming today

    i was hyped when this game was announced but now its falling way back down to just plain modern military genericism, fighting generorrists in generistan as generica

    i hope they show something unique with this game that will maybe stem this feeling of them just wasting great tech on horribly boring design (the crysis syndrome) ;-;

    @russythefox:   
    Before i engage in a discussion with you, I need to know whether what you want IS a shooter, but more innovative and cash-worthy than what BF3 is looking to be, or whether you want this new tech used on other genres since "shooters suck". 
    So which one is it?

    @Ahmad_Metallic: not a new game, just something new to the game, rather than just swapping weapons into different classes :[ (which too me is honestly the most interesting thing they have announced), maybe like some more depth to the game, building mechanics coming back (like artillery and comm stations) , a new revamped commander mode, maybe some new modes like a graw style enemy hunt mode ... right now its just looking like bc2 with better paint and jets D:

    edit: or maybe shifting/tiered objectives in certain modes, like lets say you drop into a map and have to cap a control point, then you get that as a spawn point to then go and destroy some m-com stations (ala rush) and maybe have to capture some intel or something after that, or map specific like blow up a dam to allow progress to further parts of the mission

    You saw a tiny pre-alpha 8v8 rush level with the sole purpose to show the engine, lighting and the feel of the combat. Maybe you should wait till they've announced what multiplayer features will be in or not before you go call "waste" and "BC2"?

    Guess what. A lot of stuff happens between pre-alpha and gold.

    Don't judge a game before it comes out. We've only seen a couple of trailers and some minor gameplay. Maybe it will be just another military shooter but hey, I haven't played it yet! I've been shooting stuff in fps games since the original Doom and I am still not tired of it...

    Did you know that games that involve guns, tanks, and planes often have explosions in them? 
     
    Someone told me that one time. I don't really believe them.

    @jetjetwilly: they already announced them though, rush, conquest, and team deathmatch.... what im saying is i hope they have something else to show, like onslaught which was my most enjoyable moments in bc2... it would be great to see something like that or something ala ghost recon thunt show up as a mode or something...

    @russythefox: Actually, they have not announced any final list of the modes and what the structure of team play will be. What we saw at E3 only showed us how the classes worked and that you can be in a squad. That's it. All we've heard are snippets of info that have gone from rumors to confirmed rumors.

    Pretty sure one of the producers even said in an interview that they have a lot more in store for the game modes, beyond team deathmatch, rush and conquest.

    So the point you're trying to make is that Battlefield 3 needs new innovative ways to build on Battlefield 2, rather than be a BF2/BC2 hybrid with the same basic features/system ? 
     
    Well, i wouldn't say the tech was "wasted" on BF3... it's the first main-line Battlefield game in six years, you can't expect it to have such massive and radical changes. 
    But you can expect several new ideas and expansive gameplay mechanics in the upcoming Battlefield games on the Frostbite 2 engine, like Battlefield 2143 and whatever else DICE decide to create. 
     
    Also, the FB2 engine is already being used for an NFS game, and Mirror's Edge 2 is being built on it. So it's not being wasted, trust me

    it being soooooo far away is what is worrying me most of all about it, they should be doing something huge to come back rather than just put a coat of paint on bc2; when do we expect these major changes to happen? with a ton of series they never really change it up because they are so close together (like assassins creed 2 and brotherhood) with something, and with nearly 6 years away id expect them to go all out on it by putting as much into it as possible considering they did the same thing come bf2 after 1942 after a few years

    Yawn, have you played it?  I admit Crysis 2 was disappointing, but I didn't know it until I had played it.  This whole thread is just another case of internet cynicism.

    Battlefield 3 in not a "paint coated" Bad Company 2.. get your info straight, bro. 
     
    Also, don't expect big changes from a new game in a popular long-time running competitive multiplayer franchise. This isn't an adventure game, or a new innovative RPG, it's a life style to most of its fans.. big changes in such a game would alienate people. 
    The changes we've seen, along with all the stuff to come, is exactly what this game needs. nothing more, nothing less, IMO.

    Threads like this make me laugh, BF3 is a modern military shooter, that's what it is. What are they to do so differently other than polish it? Would you rather they make it into some limbo clone or something? It's a fucking FPS set in modern times, and a polished, well made one at that. Do you expect the next Braid or something?

    Yeah, unless DICE decides to blow the whole company and all its tech up the moment the game is released, it's not like the tech is wasted. I mean, the Unreal Engine has been used on some pretty crappy games, but does that make Gears of War look like a bad game?

    I agree, there needs to be a frostbite 2 game that doesn't involve a random war. Military games are some of the most pointless, stale genres that exist today, of course, to me.

    Whoever compares a Battlefield game to a Michael Bay film clearly has no idea about BF. Also this game hasn't even come out yet so let's just relax and wait to play the fucking game first and bash it later.

    Depends if the campaign ever gets more ambitious than just being another guided tour down the war funnel (which it won't).

    If they figure out how to make suppressive fire effective in multiplayer, then that will be a pretty significant step forward for the genre imo. You can't really simulate combat without it.

    IDK, personally I really like bf2 gameplay and hope that bf3 brings some of the feeling back along with new shit. I trust dice to make something kick ass.
