this guy on the battle log forums went off on Dice ahahahahahah

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654347754066078/1/

90% of the stuff mentioned here are not bugs, but intended game design features - or lack of. And thus never will be fixed / corrected.



Battlefield franchise 2002 - 2006 R.I.P.





About Ea Games / Dice :

- ea games/ dice has performed the biggest lie campaign in pc gaming history
- it feels like none of the developers have ever played a pc shooter for one single second
- it’s obvious that this is a dumbed down, simplistic console port
- prime focus has been consoles, since pc games don’t sell well
- the game is unfinished and released too early, just to be released before modern warfare 3
- too many resources has been spent on the singleplayer campaign, which has left multiplayer lacking almost everything thinkable
- this game is 90% bad company 2
- battlefield 3 is done, and ea / dice don’t give a damn about adding features, fixing the game anymore
- battlefield 4 already confirmed in the work, ea / dice is copying mw3’s quick rollout quantity over quality methods

Generally :

- no patch / game version available ingame or in origin or battlelog
- no official channel for upcoming updates, only short hard-to-find scattered tweets
- voip broken
- squad management missing
- no battlerecorder
- no mod tools
- 3 apps to play one game: bf3, origin, webbrowser
- no way to explore maps and practice on empty private home servers
- not possible to change name in-game
- player names only a maximum of 16 characters long, should be 24+
- no special symbols in names, only brackets, underscore, hyphen
- no built in screenshot key function
- no separate mouse sensitivity for vehicles, infantry, planes, etc
- no ingame player to player messenger
- commo-rose not working as it should
- 60 second pause after round end, where only unlock info is available
- map load times too long …. background loading at end of current map could reduce this
- personal stats / unlocks / xp doesn’t get saved if one quits before round end

Graphics :

- depressing colours and environments … everything looks pale grey / pale brown … no true red, green, blue, yellow
- blue filter / low colour temperature on all maps
- most maps look the same
- no windows xp / directx 9 support
- no real “low” graphics settings to get high frames per second
- not state of the art directx 11 graphics ... looks like 2006 graphics
- some objects are highly detailed, others aren’t
- no way to control ranged graphics details: bushes and grass pop up of the ground, etc.
- tree animations looks shaky and overdone
- unrealistic human animations

Admining :

- No freecam or trackcam for admins / players means that admining is ruined, it’s virtually impossible to detect :

• glitching
• exploiting
• cheating
• hacking
• teamwounding
• deliberate teamkilling
• friendly vehicle damaging
• idling / afk’ing in vehicles
• waisting vehicles
• friendly vehicle destroying
• vehicle stealing when repairing
• vehicle blocking
• vehicle whoring
• spawnblocking
• taxiing to aircrafts
• taxiing with aircrafts
• mining main uncap base
• etc. etc. etc.

Ingame 3D markers / tags :

- markers over both friendly and enemy infantry and vehicles too small and too hard to notice
- flag markers are constantly visible and often in the center of the screen where aiming is needed

Ingame mechanics :

- being able to see some enemy infantry (spotted) on the minimap is the lamest feature ever
- minimum respawn time is 13 seconds … should be adjustable down to two

Destruction / Object interaction

- no terrain / ground deformation

- only some buildings are destructable
- some parts of buildings can be destroyed, while other identical parts of the building can’t
- some non enterable vehicles are destructable, others arent; cars are, forklifts, excavators aren’t
- some things can be moved around when shot at or bumped into ... others of same size and shape can’t

Well for those of us who don't have BF3, are his points correct?

[*MAFIA* Malbert]

he is right about the admin definately. I hope they release patches for free and maps. Expansions who cares. Everything about the server refreshing is true as well. The origin thing is crap. Battlelog stat tracking is cool though.

[*MAFIA* Meeester]

90% of his points are true or necessary but the rest of it is just him being a little bitch. Some of his points are ridiculous:

-player names only a maximum of 16 characters long, should be 24+
-both points about ingame 3D markers
-no shooting while sprinting

It's a long list.

Yeah, the game would have been ten times better in my eyes if they just called it BFBC3.

[*MAFIA* Kingpin]

its almost as if they rebuild the game entirely from scratch. No traces of any previous battlefield. Proof are things like no ping status in score screen, chat window, server settings,mini map,map and all kinds of other stuff. Thing is, they catered this game more towards the consoles, when in reality console gamers aren't the ones who stick with a game years after its out. Look at bf2 and 1942. YEARS and people still play. Xbox and ps3 gamers aren't going to be playing this game a year from now, its just the way it is. EA as of late,are money hungry beasts. I hope they don't push for a new game next year like whats been going on since bad company 1 & 2. if that happens, i am going ape shit.

Yeah, its called money. 99.99% of corporations are going to gear their product towards the largest demand margin.

This is why I still play Starcraft. As much as I dislike Blizzard, they build their games for longevity.

That's because they can get idiots like you to pay for a subscription every month, just sayin'.

So your point is... I had more fun than you when I was younger? Thats a given. Especially seeing that you spent all the time to look up a thread where I explained how I was an idiot. You must have a lot of free time on your hands. That's what happens when no one likes you.

Hope you have as much fun with your insurance rates and possible job opportunities in the future.

My momma likes me. She told me last night before I went to bed. Your argument is invalid.

None of my drinking or smoking escapades have raised my insurance rates in anyway.

As for my job opportunities. .. I may have a hard time trying to get a government job, that's about it. I'm a graphic design major. We all pretty much smoke weed.

Have you ever smoked week Rosh? Been Drunk? Done any drugs?
