Seriously, I still play BF2 when I get a chance. This game is heaven for me...amongst other titles.

I sort'of hope they can come up with a BF3 soon for the PC. Then again, I'd have to quit my business, my studies, and related non-gaming activites. I'll become a bum and homeless guy.

Battlefield: BUM

I think I need rehab.

Battlefield Bad Company...despite what I thought it would be like actually is turning out to be pretty good. Its really the first sanbox type game on consoles that is even worth playing imo. I am looking forward to using the Frostbite engine in all of its glory on PC BF3.

Well it may not be, but it is described as such in the part where it talks about the games features (2nd insert).

So, let me correct myself. When I said sandbox...what I really meant was large scale open maps!

Best,

IMO, BF2 was a huge disappointment. There were a handful of issues that made it suck. After EA smashed DC, they thought they could one up it, with BF2. (DC with eye-candy) But that didn’t happen, even though it looked better, it was worse than it’s predecessor. I cringe every time I see someone say how great BF2 is. Maybe you just don’t know how good DC was…. I don’t mean any disrespect.

Before i go to sleep at night, i kneel beside my bed and pray for another battlefield 1942, essentially with new maps and update graphics and possibly an increase from 64 to 128-256 players. Then I wake up and have to look at that piece of crap bad company game box and i die a little on the inside. Thank god a ps3 exlusive game will come to save the day....MAG.

Yay then instead of 2-4 plane campers we could have 40-50 TKing so they can jump in plane and then get taken out within 20 secs and then wait 5-10 mins for a plane respawn!

All i know is BF:BC would be sooo much better if it was for PC. Because I played it for Xbox 360 and it looked good at 480p not great but good.

And as soon as I got a 1080p HDTV and changed the res. It looked like Crap!

Because the 360 and PS3 Dont add AA to the image A straight line looks liek a saw blade from any angle. I couldnt play the game anymore. Its a good thing I have only rented it.

The frostbite engine Needs AA to look good.

I thought that BF2 was great... minus all the TKer for tanks and planes.

BF:2142 Was cool at 1st but the game got old fast.

BF: Vietnam I think was one of the best ones.

DC Was THE BEST BF GAME. Because it was fun and keep getting better with each patch.

I think that BF heroes looks like TF2 so nothing new there.

Now I think that a Halo game based on the BF game play would be sweet.

SW Battlefront 3 should be great also...because SW:BF2 was great.

Lord of the Rings Conquest looks good too. Its based off the BF game play.


Thats my 2 cents
