Battlefield 3; Take 2

[jaik]

will never buy a generic fps like bf or cod again, they're all the same at their barebones, the only difference is that the title changes.

Its just goin be bf bad company >.>

[INA7HAN]

When you think about it S.T.A.L.K.E.R is a very original game series?

[lolKieck]

No, you're wrong, Overwatch.

All genres the same? Lol.
Besides, ArmA II isn't even an FPS, it's a Military Simulator.

[Paintcheck]

ArmA's an FPS what are you smoking? Do you view the game from a first person perspective? Do you shoot stuff? Then it's a first person shooter. It's more realistic than 99.9% of other FPS games on the market but that does not make it not a shooter.

[Paintcheck]

You can play BC2 and MW2 in third person too Kieck. That doesn't make them nonFPS games. you are absolutely splitting hairs at this point.

[Gonztah]

But what Bf 3 and MW2 dont have is a huge open world with a chance to go anywhere.

[Paintcheck]

What the fuck does that have to do with them being (or not being) an FPS game? Are you guys stupid or something?

FPS = First Person Shooter. ArmA is played in first person and you shoot stuff. FPS does not mean "Linear console piece of shit" by its definition; that's just what it has become due to consoles being shitty.

[Gonztah]

Might as well call it a flying game since you can fly choppers in it. It just IS a simulator.

[Paintcheck]

So by that logic BF3 is a flight simulator also?

The flight models in ArmA and BF are nothing like an actual flight sim. Play Lock On Flaming Cliffs and then try ArmA or BF3's planes/helos and then try to say that BF3 or ArmA is a flight sim on top of being an FPS.

Oh my god this pretty amusing.
Anyhow; I'm wait till my new PC comes at Christmas before ordering it. Or I could get it on Ps3..

[Overwatch]

Finished the first few missions... Ain't that great.

Cons

PC
Pros
>Mouse and Keyboard will crush a controller
>Bigger battles
>Better graphics

Cons

...Yeah there's no good option there ThY, unless you hate your privacy/don't care that EA will be mining your info and selling it to advertisers if you play on the PC.

Degustibus non dispuntandum est. And actually, it's possible for a controller to crush a mouse and keyboard (if your enemies aren't hardcore players of course).

Problems quickly arose in testing, however, when Microsoft found that even the best console gamers simply couldn't compete with the accuracy a mouse and keyboard afforded a PC player. "The console players got destroyed every time", Sood says. "So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative."

What was that about controllers not sucking in FPS games Kieck?

This thread just got amazingly derailed.

Your opinion was apparently wrong, and god HELP us if that happens.

Anyways, BF3 campaign was pretty fun for me even though it was relatively short.
