If you don't like recoil on your weapons go play cod xDD.

P.S. i know he's joking.

Specially, in Modern Warfare 2 the ACR is really noob friendly. I was happy to see more recoil in Black Ops.

Or you can learn how to burst fire instead of holding down the trigger.

Well it's good to see they are taking recoil seriously instead of the aiming circle concept (looks at Socom 4) but please keep smoke launchers as one hit kills in point-blank range.

Criminal5353d ago

I recently started using smoke launchers more in BFBC2, they're really great! I used to run the underbarrel shotgun, but I think the smoke launchers can be more useful.

Convas5353d ago

Yeah, I learned quickly that underbarrel shotguns are pretty useless in most of BFBC2's open environments.

They should work nicely in BF3's Metro map subway areas though ... hehe.

Mister_V5353d ago

The flashlight under-barel attachment seems pretty interesting too. Obviously useless in the day light... which makes me think... they may very well have quite a few night maps. Or more, tight, indoor areas would work too.

Jdub895O5353d ago

lol i was wondering how i kept getting killed by smoke grenades.

FunkMcnasty5353d ago

I'm still not sure how firing in bursts and firing in full-auto yeilds the same recoil and spread?

wouldn't you think that single shots and bursts would be more accurate? (as they were in BC2)

soundslike5353d ago

Read more carefully. He said if you tap fired at THE SAME SPEED as full auto the spread would be the same.

It would be odd if it didn't work that way. Your advantage is that you don't have to shoot the bullets as fast and maintain better control

soundslike5353d ago

Man I'm really hoping they don't pull a Treyarch and nerf things that don't need nerfing because of scrubs QQ'ing....

Grenade launchers should be great, otherwise who is going to play assault

"Grenade launchers should be great, otherwise who is going to play assault"

People who want to use assault rifles and in the case of BF3, to serve as the medic as well. You're insinuating that the only reason people play the assault class is to noob tube everyone.

likesounds5353d ago (Edited 5353d ago )

SMH

Yes I know they merged medic into Assault, its multiple classes... but Assault is still ASSAULT too. Assault's job is to get in there and mess some sh** up. Launching grenades is not only a way to do that, but also provide pressure/aggression against people you can't actually see.

People who call it "noobtube" are exactly the type of people DICE need to ignore. This is BATTLEFIELD. You do what it takes to win, not whine like a wuss to get whatever is bother you nerfed.

@likesound exactly you need to have balance in your team. In Battlefield, I use "noobtubes" to destroy buildings not to spawn trap the enemies.

superrey195353d ago (Edited 5353d ago )

I understand that sometimes it's necessary to use the launcher, especially to take out campers and enemies in bunches, that's it's intended purpose. Unfortunately, it can be easily exploited. My problem are those people that use rocket launchers and grenade launchers exclusively to get one hit kills on single infantry and never fire a single bullet. If you make them too strong, those players will come in droves and we will have another case of MW2.

What would you guys like as a veteran weapon or bonus??? I wouldn't mind the older style M14, like in Vietnam.

lve2playbball5353d ago

They better include the M14 for assault rifles. I didn't see it on the "official" weapons list so it better be an unlock. M14 ACOG is my weapon of choice. Also, love the M14 b/c it reminds me of its predecessor--M1 Garand.

JellyJelly5352d ago

Lol! I also checked the official weapons list for the M14 and I also love battle rifles like the M1 Garand. I do hope they incorporate the M14.

gedapeleda5352d ago

I liked how they gave fn2000 for vets,it's one of de best in bc1 but in bc2 they give you some old m1 from ww2 with same stats as m14,witch I dont like.I also hope the higher vet you're the better guns you get cuz in bc2 I was lvl 7.

caperjim5353d ago (Edited 5353d ago )

Anything to do with more recoil isnt good if Dice wants to attract Call of Duty players. COD players are use to little recoil with weapons and most dont want to learn how to use them properly.

Im a fan of battlefield games and I think this is going to be a great game that im going to love. The sad truth is i dont think many COD fans will play this much after MW3 comes out. Only time will tell.

TitanUp5352d ago

i like recoil but heck i also like the fun factor hope they can balance it out well

BeardedPriest5352d ago

Its gonna be a difficult choice... Heavy Barrel or Silencer? I guess it goes both ways with nearly everything. While playing the original bad company I directly hit two guys standing arm to arm with a rocket and either only one or none of them died... I got really pissed... but than again i do get kinda mad when assholes use them as anti personnel weapons frequently

execution175352d ago

lol funny moments with those... explosion wise, 4 of us in a sniper tower and a rocket zooms right by us and only kills the one guy, then we laugh about it... a few seconds later another rocket comes by and nearly misses me and hits the same guy haha, made it funnier because he almost rage quit (all in BFBC2)

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Whether it comes through remakes or a new game with a similar style, DICE should aim to revive the glory days of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2.

DICE have already stated that they actually don't know how to. They literally have no idea what made BC2 so good and clearly have no idea how to repeat it.

Yui_Suzumiya1281d ago

Definitely agree with the title. If they make Bad Company 3 then that would definitely be a step in the right direction!

CorndogBurglar1281d ago

Which is so ignorant it almost physically hurts.

They have the damn templates lol. Everyone LOVED Battlefield all the way up through BF4. Everything after BF4 is where fans started getting divided because they started dumbing down the gameplay.

So they need to go back to the favorites. Bad Company 2. BF3 and BF4.

Take those games. Take the exact same gameplay. Update the graphics. Add some different game modes. Make new maps. Add new guns. Choose two armies. And make a single player campaign.

That's seriously it. They need to quit trying to make BF something it isn't. They have everything they need. Why they can't figure this out just hurts my brain trying to understand.

Orchard1281d ago

BF3? They need to go back to BF2 for the mainline. Heck, I'd settle for true-to-source remakes of BF2 and BC2 (w/ Vietnam). Everything they've done in the 'modern' era is just bad.

CorndogBurglar1281d ago

Anything from BF2 - BF4 would work fine. Those were all great games.

MadLad1281d ago

I thought BF3 and 4 were great, and I've been playing since 1942.

Profchaos1281d ago

I've not played 2042 myself but after v I don't feel like it. I played a few hours of v with friends but it feels ultra sterile I can't figure it out but the game looks and feels clinical. The storys in the campaign were also bland and uninteresting and felt like a dull trudge through checkpoints as you waited for an ending.

I've played the franchise dating back to it's original PC launch and PS2 spin off games I did enjoy 1 overall and it's take on placing you in different scenarios and battles was interesting but not all that good imo as you couldn't really connect with any characters longer than 2 hours.

hardline for all the hate it recived was a fun story and a new take but a bad mp game

I feel like v overall was the turning point and instead of showing the gritty reality of war they turned everything sterile and presented it in a clean cut boring frame in order to pump it full of weird micro transactions overall they spent far to much time on trying to implant ray tracing and other graphical flourishes and forgot to make the game enjoyable
