So ive been looking at BF3 lately, and truthfully, this game seems like BC3 except with the BF3 name. I like the whole new movment system, thats cool, but for me BF2 was a true hardcore FPS, while the BC series was a Arcade fps with regenerating health, smaller maps, faster gameplay, etc. Also most maps were designed as Rush maps in my opionon because that was the BCs crowning jewel, rush mode(where u destroy mcoms) and when you'd play Conquest on most of the maps, they just didnt feel rightly designed for that game mode. A few details that are swaying me from BF3

1. Regenerating Health- What the hell is the point of a medpack when you can just take cover, i understand you'll heal faster, but id rather have no regenerating health so people use teamwork more.

2. Self healing tanks- i saw this on their facebook page, it was in some question they were asking, it said in it "Introducing Self healing tanks". That is just stupid and ridiculous.

3. The maps look like they might be designed for Rush mode again. Im really hoping against this, but the maps look very linear and not open. I know its only been one map, but if i see more and they seem to be designed for rush mode, ill be disappointing. '

4. Its not total destruction. I was watching some Alpha, and i understand its alpha so it might change, but the tank shot at some building, one that you couldn't go in, just sitting on the side, and nothing happened except a smudge mark. If they make the side prop buildings indestructible, ill be disappointed too because they have been advertising total destruction, of only the houses they deem destructible.
This just seems so far like Bc3 with jets.
But well just have to wait and see.

The maps are pretty much the same as BF2, so i doubt that thing of maps designed for rush only seems a bit off the chart.

Just my opinion tho.

Self healing tanks? that sucks :/

What is the point of a self-healing tank when the engineers one main job is to heal tanks. That just makes the engineer less important but still fun to play considering the complete satisfaction of blowing up a tank.

Or a yet? |=D

I havent played the Alpha, but from what ive seen, it looks extremly linear. Maybe they'll open more of it up for Conquest, but idk. ima wait for reviews on this game, if i feel its like BC too much ill prbly not get.

Yeah I wanted it to be more like a Battlefield 2 with frostbite.


6 man squads, 7 classes (itd be more focused gameplay), commander mode, etc

The Classes are planned to have some sort of "sub-kits" to split them into play styles (atleast that's what they said on twitter). For example, assault has to choose between med/def kit or grenade launcher, and engineers have to choose between AA or AT weapons.

I'm more worried about the "Play it your way" motto they've been using... Scary.

I think its too allow deeper customization into what you want your soldier to be. as for the "linear gameplay". Its just alpha, I'm sure they are closing off a lot of the map area right now, and considering its just one map. You can't design rush set up with BF2 maps.

and as for total destruction, I'm sure it means within the actual gaming area where it would apply. I wouldn't really care if a building outside wasn't able to destroy, I mean its already taking so much programming as it is to do all that.

as for self healing tanks, maybe engineers can repair from within tank if not I would say this is the one thing I would dislike, as your other arguements seem far more debatable.
