BF2S Forums Thinking about BF3

well i think that the re-spwn time of vehicles should be a bit lower... if i fight in a veh-64-jalajala its pretty annoyin to die in a tank and than wait 2 minutes on the next

I think there should be the option for servers to limit the max number of deaths people can have in a round, It would reduce suicidal playing and encourage teamplay and stealth. As well as some sort of system where the players who have the most flag caps, defends, etc are awarded some kind of bonus. Maybe some kind of bonus as well for when you resupply/heal a player who requests it.
If not the max number of deaths option, maybe a negative score per death, what ever it takes to make it less rambo, and more tactics.
Also, more game options than just straight conquest, such as defend a certain flag, deathmatch, etc. even if they do have to be unranked.

Edit: oh and I would like to see stuff like zip/grapple and IO options come standard with the vanilla version of bf3.

That would just scare off everyone. BF was made so you can do either. Go rambo, or go with uber tactics.
(and you CAN do both, I do. Sometimes I will say fuck it and run into a group of 10 people, sometimes Ill roll with a squad and cap everything)

Judging by everyones posts...

Yeah, this series is fucked.

if they listen to the public players then imo the game will turn into shit just like bf2

gtfo of here with all your elitest shit.

I just want BF3 to be better than BF2, as long as it is that, I don't really care tbh. And they need to maybe stretch the ranks a bit more, so when you get to Colonel or whatever, it's an achievement, and not something that people can do in below 400 hours now..

No, he is right.

I don't understand why everybody is always whining about that 30k gap, between Lt. Col and colonel is also 25k. Captain - major, also 25k. Those 5000 points don't make such of a diffirence.

And the gap between Colonel and Lt. General is 70,000 points. Most people will jump from Cl -> Lt.Gn.

It's only 50,000, and why would 'most people jump straight to Lt.Gn? I sure as hell didn't and I'm hardly unique. I don't think it's so much the 30k points but more the 250% jump in your current score needed at the time which puts people off.

I don't know what you have been smoking but the tank spawns in about 30 seconds (or 15 seconds) after you have, so if you can't wait that long maybe consider not dying. F35 on wake though take 70 seconds which is way too long especially considering j10s take 30 seconds.

GTFO, Some times you just have to do shit yourself to get stuff done, and when its you verses the entire other team, you are destined to die a fucking lot. Why the fuck should I be penalised because the rest of my team are fucking snipers hiding in the uncap or waiting around for vehicles which will never spawn?

Also the one thing I would love to take away is IO, its an abomination to the series and has no place in a battlefield game.

Before BF2 there was no game like it really. Mulitplayer maps with tanks, cars, planes, etc.  all tracked with a stats system.  Pretty neat idea.

Since it was relatviely new, they knew very little what to expect.  Now, with the hacks, stealing accounts, etc. etc.

Thier pioneer game has aged, and in the process, they have learned alot.

From what I've heard BF3 will havea live update feature... no more manual patching.

Plus, with this PId spoofing/accoutn Hijacking.... I bet EA, being as rich as it is, sees it as an embarrasement, and a good lesson.  BF3 will build upon the psotivie and negative aspects of BF2.

It is not financially reasonable to investmoney into BF2 to fix its woes.  EA is not stupid.  They just don't care enough to lose money to fix and aging product.  But surely EA has learned and is already looking into ways to better secure user accounts.

BF3 will be more stable, better designed, and better secured than BF2.  The only thing to worry about is if they can produce another game as fun as BF2.

BF2 was not the 'pioneer' game. BF 1942 had, tanks, cars, planes, boats (including moving battle ships and aircraft carriers), different kits etc. BF Vietnam added helicopters but removed the 'big' boats and all BF2 added to the mix was commanders, squads and stats (and in patch 1.4 IO).

Or they could be stupid like Activision and make the stats based on a file in your game folder - easily accessible by n00bs that don't want to rank up the proper way. *cough* CoD4 stats fail *cough*

yeah.  Really though, the only thing I saw wrong with cod4 stats is that it's soo easy to get them built up.

It's even sadder that people fake those stats.  That's just so wierd. But yeah, that's probably a good possibility that EA goes that route.  No servers to hols stats for them.

What the hell is your problem. He is absolutely right. Stop acting immature. If its anything like POE2, from a realistic standpoint (i.e. Mobile artillery, no nerfed guns, accurate vehicles and systems, weapon damage, etc.) then I will be perfectly happy. I don't know if this matters to anyone else but another thing I like about POE is that it has a MUCH better and more...how would you put it...professional(?) feel about it.

You, my friend, are a wise person. I love playing POE2. The guns work as they should, the vehicles are awesome and have a better feel, no commander point and click artillery. I think it is the best mod for BF2...although it would probably be PR if not for the ridiculous spawn times and kit distribution.

My BF2 stats are gonna be reset anyway. Accidentally joined one of those fucked up servers through Xfire, tried to escape before it finished loading but I still ended up with a mystery vehicle in BF2s stats and 30 hours from nowhere.

Any new game with a decent ranking system would be good imo. It'll take my mind of the fact 1200 hours of my life have potentially been wasted.

how the fuck were they wasted, u had fun. just cos thers no record of it anyway so what. I spent alot of time completing gta 3 vice city and san andreas to sell my memory card so fucking what i had fun.

Bad luck.


I'd like to see a driver class, or pilot class. That is unarmed in the case of a pilot, which means cannot teamkill and steal planes from another player. Or a que system that prevents the same one person taking the f35 or j10 or chopper when your also waiting to get in.

True...I guess I shouldn't have said wasted.
