They've got to spice it up a bit, after playing it for so long the game just becomes tiresome, in my opinion of course.

Release some maps with different weather conditions and a snow map! BC2 was more fun :(

2 major updates on PS3 since release is not good enough for me, I got bored of the maps very quickly an yes Bad2 was alot more fun.

BALLARD325198d ago

Totally agree. I've kind of given up on BF3. They've made too many promises that they haven't fulfilled(i.e. battle recorder, lots of dlc/updates). At least I still have BC2 to scratch the Battlefield itch.

worst support for any major multiplayer title i've come across...and i've played a lot of them over the years...

this 'spring patch' is probably not going to happen until May...at the earliest i'd say...they'll announce DLC today, and continue 'talking' about every thing coming...but it will be nearly summer by the time we get it...

which means...This will slowly be the end of BF3 for me most likely...still playing, still having some fun...but 2 updates since release, both of which did pretty much nothing...and a patch to fix a back of the box feature 3 months after release...simply isn't acceptable...

and with the mav'ers and usas users running wild until its actually nice outdoors...can't find much of a reason to keep playing...let alone buy DLC...

i'll admit, i'm still hoooked...but its like EA/DICE is actively trying to get me away from the game, and giving multiple reasons to not buy anything else they release...

Soldierone5198d ago

To be honest i take breaks just to keep it fun. However coming back to noobs with shotty's and other random noob perks annoys me.

Only reason I keep coming back is because I can't find another game to put in its place though. Lucky them I hate MW3, any other COD and I would have went back by now.

Can't lie, I play the game daily, and I've plugged in 170 hours and I'm while its finally growing tiresome, It's taken me months to get ever so slightly bored. Strike and Karkand and Gulf of Oman are multiplayer map perfection. They just don't grow old for me.

I've been playing the PS3 version since release and the imput lag doesn't bother me at all.

mcgrottys5198d ago (Edited 5198d ago )

apparently the original six axis (non Dualshock) controllers have issues with the input lag because they use different sets of code. People with DS3's don't appear to notice it as much as the ones that don't.

If you mean the PC version, look up how to disable triple buffering in the game config, its forced on regardless of vsync and causes some severe input lag.

torchic5198d ago (Edited 5198d ago )

it has nothing to do with controllers.

I'm looking after a friend's house while he's gone on work, and he has a Sony Bravia (don't know how many inches but its a bit smaller than mine) and I have a Sony Bravia 40". I get metric tons of input lag on my TV, on his, nothing. for the first time since October I'm actually enjoying the game. it feels like that amazing game I played during the beta. but yea I get/don't get input lag from TV's from the same company (Sony). it's just so astonishing how this input lag thing works.

I realized though that by the time DICE get it fixed it would be too late.

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast507d ago

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

Battlefield Needs the Glory Days of BF3 and Bad Company 2 Back

FallenAngel1984|1292d ago |Opinion piece|22|

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.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

Single player campaigns take time and effort... EA ain't got time for that.

Fluke_Skywalker1292d ago

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_Suzumiya1292d ago

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

ChubbyBlade1292d ago

It’s done. The current development team has no idea why people liked BF.

CorndogBurglar1292d 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.

Orchard1292d 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.

CorndogBurglar1292d ago

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

MadLad1292d ago

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

Demetrius1292d ago (Edited 1292d ago )

Doubt they will smh which is messed up

Profchaos1292d 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

PressPlayBros1291d ago

I mean thats all we've wanted since BF4 but they keep doing everything we don't want.
