After reading the ign article, why is it so hard for game developers to make the entire campaigns co-op these days? Instead we get just a few missions.

Playing this co-op had me more excited than multiplayer ever could. What a let down.

From the sound of that article they totally jacked MW2's Spec Ops.

"Co-op levels are separate from the single player campaign but revolve around scenarios linked into the main story. I'd liken the experience to a roaming survival mode. Each map has an objective or task, and you and your partner need to stay alive to accomplish that feat."

Lame.

Notice it says partner, not partners. Exactly like MW. but maybe I'm just reading to far into things.

Borderlands a new I.P did it wonderfully, i don't see why big name franchises find it harder :dunno
 
Apparently this beta is one month old, most of the problems i've encountered should be an easy fix, falling through map, replay screen, ADS failing, screen flicker.

But still this was an indication to the consumerbase of the final product and they meesed it up, especailly when they have no quarter with prospective customers going to COD so readily.

Yeah they are saying its around 6 weeks old. Dice have also said it will be on 2 discs with Hd installation content on both machines for hi res textures. All sounding very nice indeed.

2 discs on 360
1 disc on PS3

I equipped a Silencer for the first time, HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! It was this tiny little prick on the end of my gun, that may be fine for COD but Battlefield deserves those big cool silencers of BC2

Although i love the game, i do hate the pandering to the COD crowd with the smaller guns and how attatchments are available for every class, part of what distinguished BC2 for me was that if you wanted a silencer you had to be an engineer.

And why would you need a tactical light on a sniper rifle? Have some sense Dice

Yep tactical light on a sniper and scopes on shotguns just doesn't seem right.
 
Why would only an engineer have a silencer? That actually never made sense.
 
silencers in BF games are dumb and make no sense any way. who gives a ____ when tanks and bombs are blowing up all around you.
 
I, for one, run to gunfire. Sometimes if I see nothing going on, then I hear shots fired, I go to it, see what be happening.

If you're guarding the M-COM, and you hear a shot behind you where you've got a teammate watching (like in the shrubs by the wall in the park), you'd go to that too. If they have a silencer though, you might be none the wiser, then they sneak up on you too. I haven't used a silencer yet but I imagine it could work like that. No matter though, it's just an option, if you don't have a use for them then I would guess the answer would be not to attach them.

you must run around a lot like a chicken without a head. it's easy to kill players like that.
 
Heh, I head to it, it attracts my attention, it could mean someone needs backup or the M-COM is under attack, many a thing. I don't mean that suddenly I stand up and just run in a straight line like Gallipoli.
 
played caspian map all day today.
sucks consoles dont get to play this amazing map.
let me tell you that this is the way BF3 should be played.
WOW !! the graphics the sound it feels like real war. there is so much going on that you feel fear and want to hide from incoming tanks and choppers.
This game is just incredible.
best looking FPS ever made.

It's alright looking. Hope it looks a lot better in the full version.

I tried playing, but there was so much lag it was useless. Graphics were good though.

I keep thinking this would be a great game if it weren't for the server issues.
 
Played a couple of hours of BFBC2 on the PC and now I know why the gameplay feels different to me. It's the contrast ! In BFBC2 the colours and contrast make it pop out more dimensionaly, and in BF3 it doesn't. I have a hard time seeing people and stuff in BF3 compared to BFBC2.

Same here.

As crazy as it may sound, so far I much prefer the look of BC2 over BF3.

Remember the first time you saw Arica Harbor, nothing in BF3 has made me feel that way again.
