[url=http://www.pcgamer.com/review/battlefield-3-review/]Overrated game is overrated.[/url] Yes, it is a fun game. But the scores it received on Metacritic were bull-blam!-.

Half of my kills used to be from killing individual soldiers on the ground with my main 20mm cannon.[/quote] I can't use the cannon against infantry, so I've always used rocket pods. And guided missiles have always sucked.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HisRoyalFreshnes [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Quantam MW3 was far more overrated via scores, it was terrible, even worse than BF3. BF3>MW3. But you're right,neither deserved more than 85 on Metacritic. [/quote] OP didn't compare to MW3, don't hate unprovoked. I have BF3 for PC and I'll be honest (I play on max settings) the game is -blam!-. There are hardly any servers even with all filters off. The gameplay rewards play time over skill IMO. It's not great of a game, people defend it so harshly because they have to justify hyping it so damn much. And the singleplayer sucks a lot. [/quote] I respectfully disagree. There are plenty of servers available, especially if you turn all filters off. The gameplay rewards skill as well as time, unlocks are earned by kills and points. Which are earned by doing well in the game. Thus making it somewhat skill based. I will agree that some things (JETS) are only good if you put a lot of time into it though. I wasn't too hyped for it, I was expecting BF2 with shiny graphics and more stuff, and that's what I got. One change I didn't like was the regenerating health on vehicles (seriously why the hell was this added?). I completely agree that the singleplayer was complete -blam!- though.

  • From what I read it basically ripped its disappointing single player while praising the hectic multiplayer? How is that different from other reviews again? [Edited on 07.04.2012 10:35 AM PDT]

Nothing more and nothing less.[/quote]Drop dead.[/quote] He is half right.[/quote] He is full wrong.[/quote]No no no, Read his explanation. I agree completely. BF3 is an amazing game but like it or not it does share a few traits with CoD. That doesnt make it a clone, Its an FPS and as much as people would like to ignore this issue, FPSs are VERY limited.

But you're right,neither deserved more than 85 on Metacritic. [/quote]MW3? Over rated? Have you even played the game? Fun as balls multiplayer, great campaign, fun survival mode, fun co-op mission mode. Now tell me which game is over rated.[/quote] Both instakill knifes, quick scopers, campers, overrated ful-auto weapons, and little kids in COD. In BF3 almost the same but instead of quick scopers you get people on your team that kill you with C-4, and instead of instakill knifes you get underpowered vechicals that are not tanks. Finally both campaigns seemed to cinamatic to me over pushed action, for me action is not why I buy a game. If you look at the story you would see that both of them lack emotional depth, character development, and overall both games dabble to much in theory that are conspiracies

  • Battlefield 3 was horrible. It tries to be Call of Duty way too hard.

Nothing more and nothing less.[/quote]Drop dead.[/quote] He is half right.[/quote]Elaborate?[/quote]Looking back on previous Battlefield games in the series: the reduced map sizes, the flag clustering, the reduced squad leader/commander roles, half of the launch maps as well as an entire map pack solely devoting itself to infantry combat in an otherwise mainly vehicle sandbox game, and the unlock system rewarding time played that unbalances vehicle gameplay are certainly design choices that are intended to draw the CoD crowd towards the series.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cybil [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] What Is This1 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cybil Elaborate?[/quote] Simple the main difference between BF and CoD is vehicles. They both have classes, ranks, similar weapons, and similar gameplay. Pretty much the only thing that makes BF better is the maps, vehicles, and better balancing. Other than that they are pretty much the same game which is expected since they are in roughly the same market.[/quote] In my opinion CoD gameplay is nothing like BF3 gameplay, Aside from that I agree with everything you said. That doesnt make BF3 a CoD clone, It makes it an FPS in todays market.[/quote] I agree completely which is why I said he was only half right.
