I actually check it everyday. I also expected you would be the first person to reply to my BF3 scepticism as you're one of those that think BF3 will be some sort of revolution in shooters. As much as I would also like it to be a revolutionary title , in the final gameplay its gonna be bc2 with Prone jets 64 players and kits which were already in BF2. So far the ONLY three new things here is going to be loads of animation added that look extremely cool, the character movement and friends/clans/server list. From experience we all know the 3rd is a failure. The animation might be cool for a few good hours of gameplay and then its gonna be hiding wookies in the debris that cant be destroyed and the character movement which I think is the coolest thing about BF3 because it might finally add some realism to close combat fire fights.
I'd rather be surprised on the positive than disappointed when I first play it
I don't think it will be some sort of revolution, BC1 was, with the destructible environments on a large scale. BC2 just added to that as does BF3. Just BF3 adds a lot, your original comment was this.
CODMW1 was fggz.
I for one BF fan around here expect that BF3 will be the same game as BC2, the only change will be scale and a working friends list.
And right off the bat you said you expect it to be the same as BC2, to me that shows you haven't looked much at all into BF3, so I responded as I did, because the list of changes is quite large. You make it sound like BF3 is a rehash, and you throw doubling server size, jets, and prone in the "doesn't mean much at all bin". Those are huge changes, a lot different change than a new name and some new maps for 4 games in a row.
And you also seem to think that much better animations also mean nothing, might as well say the tons of new sound effect works also means nothing. I'm not sure exactly what to you would mean "new content", but you just shot down a bunch of massive changes as meaning absolutely nothing. If your trying to shoot down a bunch of amazing additions just so you can be surprised when you start, you are just looking to shoot holes through any great changes, and there really is no point in talking, as you just want to make everything sound bad.
I'm not sure what you want to see changed about the game, larger maps, better sound effects, new animations, double server size, prone, better graphics, lots of engine work, better lighting, able to shoot out lights, better kit tweaking. There isn't much else they can really change, unless you feel a new name would be better, otherwise, looking at it, thats almost all aspects of the game with a lot of work put into them. But as you would put it "those are the
ONLY changes", as if those changes are minuscule. I'm sorry, but I just have to disagree completely.
