Battlefield 3

[Kasatka]

COD/MOH/Battlefield... its all the same: gun-ho americans blowing up people, with 'brown' graphics.

See? BF3 has BULLETS.

Essentially that multiplayer looks like what I've been enjoying in BC2 for the past year, but way more hectic and with a whole new dynamic (better building collapsing/destruction).

Also... PRETTY.

I thought the same Ronin. Teaser trailers aren't giving enough away to actually see what the gameplay is like, those individual clips were mere seconds long...

I played cod black ops for 30 min on sunday, after watching that trailer, the only battlefield i saw was the vehicle HUD, It looked nothing like BFBC2 (exept clearly ppl still have battlefield healthbars(wep do unrealistic low dmg - a good thing).

(wep do unrealistic low dmg - a good thing).

Never!

Low damage weapons are for pansies.

I liked this trailer better:

Still, I'm kinda seeing the same old on-rails game-thinks-it's-a-movie thing. That can be fun for a bit but probably as a rental more than a purchase.

Surely everyone would only be buying this for the multiplayer coop though?

lolCoop, lolSP
Multiplayer only.

Pretty accurately sums up my feeling on any FPS.

The trailers looked shiny, but as others have been saying - they don't look all that differently shiny to other FPSes coming out soon. Reserving judgement still.

Well multiplayer is only as good as it's community, which leaves... a collection of brown-graphics 'hd' shooters that are fundamentally all the same. Basically boils down to user preference as to which is better.

and that's why I'm looking forward to BF3.

The comunity here is awesome, and unlike CoD, the game ALLOWS for a community to develop by supporting dedicated servers

What did you think I was talking about? Battlefield's multiplayer is a cooperative experience...

There's going to be a co-op single player experience of some kind, from what I remember reading

Sounds like everyone and his dog will be using an LMG...

Sounds like everyone and his dog will be using an LMG...

More bullets = more power = more kills. That's how wars are won.

In 2142 I lugged the LMG around as a support class constantly... though I could use it to snipe people because the bullet pattern wasn't random

Perhaps they'll stop using the machine guns once they learn it has a beneficial effect for their team mates to exploit. They'll all start using sniper rifles and being useless to the team as a whole.
