:/ so glad I didn't shell out cash for Premium.
Yes, I know it's not a direct comparison but it also has a netcode that is required to keep track of hundreds of tanks, vehicles, planes, helicopters and whatnot and still maintain correct information about every bullet and missile, which it does to a 10/10. Yes I will concede that's a bit easier but the ArmA 2 comparison is spot-on. Don't start making excuses about stationary targets and whatnot, ArmA 2's hit detection is based on the old fashion system where it scales linear with the player count and actually benefits from low-ping. Yes it can suffer like any game in the world with shitty pings, bad connections and firewall issues but under ideal circumstances it just works, perfectly. Unlike Battlefield 3.
You also said you hate ArmA 2 and find it boring, thus I doubt you have very much experience on how it actually works, how good it works in action.

Looks like most people here that has issues with BF3 are playing the console version. Not surprised as the PC version is still going strong with issues getting fixed pretty quickly. And the BF3 community on the PC is still huge.
BF3 console version is kinda a message to all players out there to get a PC version instead lol.

and people ask me why i never buy any of these military shooters
It's the people with high pings that are hosing you. In all likelihood, you're experiencing the side effects of client side hit detection with lag compensation. Getting killed after you're behind cover, putting a clip in someone and having them one shot you, etc. That's the server resolving conflicts in what two different clients saw in a way that's not in your favor.ArmA 1 / 2, DCS World does it better.
It's still shoddy with 64 players, you just notice it less because you die every other second from all the random shit dinging around. When you are actually in close quarters scenarios or basic infantry scenarios which is a huge part of Battlefield, it sucks ass. An entire expansion right now is iffy because of it, an entire aspect is broken because of it. But hey, because a few tanks can drive around and the occasional helo it's suddenly fantastic? I've played ArmA 2 with over 80+ players on a dedicated Swedish server and everything was spot on, that even had more units and action than any BF game. Can't even play on a Danish BF3 server with a ping of 9(!!) without getting all the usual hit detection issues. Any Battlefield 3 player that isn't in denial will attest to the horrible hit detection - You don't have to bend over and like everything to play a game you know.
I'm preeeeety sure BF went "modern" way before COD.
Also lol at people suggesting going back to WW2... Ehat about a setting that hasn't been done to death instead?
It think it's more likely that the Bad Company series is "outsourced". Battlefield is a core part of DICE.

it's weird reading a thread full of "i wanted bc3!" when, to anyone who's played a previous numbered battlefield, bf3 was bc3.
Funny that people are clamoring for a WW2 setting now. And if DICE does do it, people will bitch about it. No chance it will be in that setting though, it's not as attractive for the game's core target audience.
As someone who just bought premium it makes me feel as though as when Endgame is released in March 2013 the game will be dead a month laterAlso, can anyone explain how not buying BF3 Premium a good thing due to them releasing BF4? How is getting a wholesale price for all DLCs for a game relate to its next iteration?
It was not. It was BC2's redheaded stepchild.it's weird reading a thread full of "i wanted bc3!" when, to anyone who's played a previous numbered battlefield, bf3 was bc3.
It was not. It was BC2's redheaded stepchild.
And BC was kind of an offshoot of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, so I don't even want to think about what that family tree must look like.It was not. It was BC2's redheaded stepchild.
i don't play console games.It was not. It was BC2's redheaded stepchild.
What the Fuck?! $70?!
I'm clamoring for a futuristic setting and I can't be alone in that. I've had it with WW2 and modern day crap.

Hopefully this will be on the next gen consoles with atleast 64players online.
Why are people still talking about this if it has already been debunked as fake by DICE?
When and where was it debunked? DICE's Battlefield twitter didn't acknowledge it, but didn't debunk it either.
Also, it being plastered on Origin's store means someone went into the trouble of making this. Which gives credence that this is indeed true.
Give me one of the DICE devs that said the same. I won't buy it from a PR account.One of the tweets who are like this one for example?

Sethos hates BF3. He posts the same stuffz in every BF related thread.
BF3 is the best mp shooter of the last 7 years.
Also, LOL ARMA.

And kindergarten has arrived ladies and gentlemen.
There's a difference between hating and being critical towards something, you might learn that one day.
And be prepared as I'll keep saying it as long as it's valid.
Obvious baiting is obvious.
Metro 64 is garbage. You need to get up on Metro 128.I rather not if they're going to put in more linear bs grind maps like metro
*waits for metro-64 player conquest defense force*
Can anyone tell me a redeeming feature in this new MOH game that gives me an incentive to buy it? I wouldn't buy it even if it was $20.
This is bad....real bad...
Was hoping for the $60 price point for at least a couple more years.

BF3 has it's issues. However, ARMA 2 is a joke in many ways as well. It probably has the worst interface I've ever seen in a game. For a PC exclusive, it's graphics are pretty mediocre. The animations and general feel of gunplay is terrible. Arma 3 will hopefully bring some polish.
