Dude are you High? Comparing BF3 to Arma2, you must be high. Hell, looking at that video posted by Raquel looks like Halo to me.

Basing your entire opinion of the game on one video of a hacked server on a small map.

What would you say to someone who based their opinion on RO2 on this video ?
Call Of Red Orchestra - YouTube

I wouldn't be surprised if they called it a CoD clone, would you ?



He was talking about Caspian Border, a completely different map WAY bigger with completely different gameplay.

Ow, watching that video makes me feel..........horrible about RO2. And yeah it is stupid to base BF3's gameplay on a hacked server. I'm experiencing more teamwork in BF3 at the moment than I am in RO2. This is with a group of guys 6-10 people. I guess for one it helps having a Medic and actual roles within your squad rather than weapon designations. Although BF3's weapons don't really operate that much differently. The same issue arises with RO2. Everyone weapon is overly accurate. The only difference is how many bullets it takes at what distance.

At least you have the option. Plus in bf3 squad leaders are completely useless since you can spawn in any player

And the squad leader is useless in RO2 (in terms of actually functioning as anything other then a smoke thrower) because the spawn system is completely reliant on being lucky enough to have the SL invisible to enemies when your spawn timer ticks to 0.

If DICE aren't idiots the squad system in BF3 will be functional like BC2's by the time the game is released. Which is pretty realistic since the current beta is a month old test build.

To say this is limiting team work is silly.

I believe squad leaders can give orders and call artillery in BF3

Squad leaders can mark points or mcoms for attack/defense, and the squad gets bonus points for related activity to those objectives.

Artillery is a short strike that is called in by specific classes with specific gadgets at the moment, as far as I know.

They have confirmed that there is no squad management ingame, which is causing a ****storm on EA forums, maybe try checking facts before guessing <.<

The only information being thrown around on the EA forums is based off of a twitter feed that people are being crazy over. The twitter feed seems to sound like squads with friends will be doable over battlelog, but at the moment no one really knows what that means unless they are jumping to conclusion.

With how much uproar there is over the slight chance that the squad system will remain as broken as it is, I highly doubt something won't be done.

Its not just the tweet, there was some community event on TS today with DICE's community manager and he just avoided questions about it / confirmed you can only do that on battlelog, but whatever :p

Hmmm

Hmmm

I tried the BF3 beta and i thought the feel of shooting, the sfx (like the little clink your rifle makes as you crawl) were spot on, the fluidity of movement was typical to the bf games - good. I think it does Suppresion better than Ro2 - shame. It also does the crack of bullets by your head and the impacts of bullets near you far better. It also has audible grenade landing at your feet sound - good.

That said i saw a guy from distance and shot him about 6 times and he just kept running. I literally have to give someone 3x 3 shot bursts to kill them. I know theyre supposed to be wearing armor but cmon. If it was RO2 I wouldve done SO much better having had the draw on guys. I hope their HARDCORE version is far more satisfying. Guys were on shotting me while flying through the air and me tapping away with the tri burst yawn.

All I kept thinking was how satisfying it is in Ro2 to actually get a kill. And how dangerous it feels to crouch run around the battlefield. I always have that hair raising on my neck feeling no matter what.

Which is more then what you can even do at the moment. Most people just want to be able to join a squad with some friends.

At the moment it is completely random, and joining a game with a party through battlelog seems to effect nothing.

Yep, Dice ruined the Battlefield franchise when they decided to go the consoles route. But hey, BF3 does seem realistic...if your a freaking Terminator.

Liquid Terminators, judging by their ability to heal from bullet wounds to the chest in 5 seconds.
