you nailed why i liked BC1 with that being it would be nice if they went back to being silly(but not dumb) sort like an alternative to COD, Medal of Honer, and homefront. Also i wonder if Hag ever got a truckasoares?Irridium said:
No, it really isn't. It's another Battlefield game. Battlefield was always very different than CoD. It was always better. But I'm still not getting another military shooter. I'm done with those no matter how good they are.The Heik said:
Yeah it really is. The current BF installments have been a rip-off of the MW series, as seen from the fact that that trailer looks practically identical (both visually and plot wise) to the "Of their own accord" mission of MW2's campaign, and that despite making fun of the MW2 series (ie Sweetwater talking about special forces with special issue weapons replacing them on the mission) they do effectively the exact same thing by being part of the Special Activities Division, a division of the CIA, and wielding the experimental XM8 assault rifle, which is still in the testing stage today (this being the poster-child for the pretentiousness of the series).Adam Jensen said:
Not to mention that they completely F up the story of BC2 by making the scary EMP superweapon (replacing the nuke of the MW series) an entirely flawed plot point, as back in WW2 when it was developed almost every part of every last vehicle and system were mechanical, not electronic, so all that the EMP would do is knock out the radar and radio, which to be honest weren't that reliable to begin with at the time, making the weapon pretty much useless.
So yeah, what was that about BF being better?
Authenticity is good and all, but I find games that are corny more fun than not. That's why I - and many people I know - liked modern warfare 2, because it was like playing an action movie, as opposed to a simulator or something. I just hope the multiplayer is just like Battlefield 2 with frostbite.
Actually, the Adam West Batman could make an AWESOME game - if you could get the right art style and atmosphere. In other words, getting the tone and style right. However, neither Batman nor Colonel Hogan are a direct competitor to Battlefield. Call of Duty is. But to be fair, 1960's Batman and Hogan were mostly theatre. There were long slow sequences that existed only for effect. And so that they could get more mileage out of the laugh track machine.You Can said:
For this person to be talking about tone and style for a combat simulation, that bothers me a little. It tells me that EA probably paid attention to Yahtzee's complaint about 'Black Ops' beating on the player relentlessly from start to finish. Yet making a refinement in 'tone' probably won't do anything groundbreaking for the game, so its probably nothing to bother about.
Heck. It wasn't so long ago that there WAS no single player campaign in Battlefield. maybe we should be thankful?
.... nah
What would I really do for my country? I can choose to abandon it, turn into a pacifist, then ***** about the wars I'm not a part of?
That doesn't sound gritty, but I like that it's thinking outside of the box. It's refreshing that it's not just going to force me into the perspective of a patriotic stranger in a war for a nation I have no stake in.

Trailer... looked good.
Did not and will not read what the EA idiot said because the last sever things made my head hurt.
Still can't get this on PC and that makes me sad. (I know they will have it for PC but it will come with its own virus named Origin)
IDK PS3? That could still be fun... I guess.
If EA keeps behaving like this, I would not be surprised if DICE pulled a IW. (At least reformed somewhere else.)

Wow, check out all the slow pacing and realism in that trailer.
Seriously, all I saw was shooting guys and shit blowing up. It's not like you can't illustrate a slow-paced game in a trailer, just make most of it about character development and a bit of plot. Maybe shoot one guy at the end.
No, my friends, this is just another Modern Warfare clone.
Furthermore, I would assure you that whatever Goldfarb may say about asking the player "What would you really do foryour country America?" there will be only one answer. That being the merciless slaughter of the enemy. If this game would allow you to go AWOL and leave this whole war business then I might respect it. We all know that will not be the case.
Goldfarb does know that Saving Private Ryan was about a group of soldiers pointlessly dying for a politician's political posturing and not a military masturbatory movie, right?

The 60'd batman is WAAAAAY better then the Dark Knight. I dont know what hes smoking, but Adam West in a Batman costume would kick the crap out of the Dark Knight any day.
Honestly, i think im just gunna skip multiplayer games for a while. Battle Field is looking TOO gritty, and all the dust in the air ruins the game for me.
And their adding a semiautomatic noobtoob to MW3.
As much fun as both of these games are looking...... I think i'll just kick back, play some Dead Island and wait for Skyrim to come out.
