BF3 @ Cain's Lair

[BadHabitz]

But BF2 and 2142 wasn't HC and there was no run and gun in the open, nor 10-20 bullets per kill. It was perfect.

These are issues that have appeared over the past few games. Namely the COD series.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that BF3 has no HC mode, and also get's rid of the crappy console friends lists.

I agree with everything. It's one of the reasons why I've said I want BF3 to be the true successor to BF2 instead of the latest FPS hotness. If they try to improve on BF2 it'll be top-notch, but if they're just trying to trump COD then I don't think it's going to work out well.

To be honest I'll be happy with 64 players and no dolphin diving..

Someone I know says HC is for noobs that want easier kills. All I really know is it's not fun without a crosshair.

I'm with you, I hate these gmes with no crosshair. And HC mode weighs heavily on players with better weapons, more powerful bullets and armor. The beginner has little chance in a firefight.

All that having been said, there was no HC mode for BF2. A ranked server was a ranked server.

Personally I hope they do not add a HC mode for BF3, it only fractures the community.

I think it's popular enough that they'd feel compelled to include HC mode. Unfortunately I don't see it going anywhere.

I think it's just up to the guy running the server to make bold decisions.

[Dead...Again]

With BF2, the damage:health ratio was high enough that you didn't really need a HC mode. I hope they will continue that with BF3.

All of you folks are way too excited about this game. It may as well come out in a decade as far away as it still is.

Just hope this isn't the next Duke Nukem 3D...

Yea Im on th eedge about this too...there is so much hype put into the release of this title that Im not entirely sure if they can produce a game that stands up to what everyone is expecting. I hope Im wrong as I would love for it to be as good as they say it will be.

Hopefully it wont be a flop like Crysis 2 is going to be

I hope the squads go back to 6 instead of 4.

but it won't be the end of the world if they stay with 4.

That would be nice. Two meds, two assaults, two engis...no snipers (they can have their own "squad").

[Furryappleseed]

I will just be happy to be back in the world of real Battlefield. Not this pizza mia Bad Company mess. Not to say I don't enjoy BC2, but it has never been quite the same.

On another note, the console crowd has not taken the (not finalized) 24 player limit well. Please donate a box of Kleenex to your local BF3 forum...

Lol.

I'm disappointed with the lack of a commander, but if they have 6-person squads with VOIP, that'll make up for it.

Without a commander, they should have two VOIP channels: team and squad.
