Laying down camping A$$ snipers all over the place = Homefront ripoff

I've always preferred Battlefield especially BBC2 but can't wait for MW3 I guess!!!![/QUOTE]

Planning on picking this up when the inevitable EA facebook deal comes out, since thats how I acquired BC2 for nearly half-off just 3 or so months after release.

And for those that are writing off stories for BF games...Bad Company 1 & 2 have the most memorable characters in a Single Player campaign of this gen, IMO. Seriously, who didn't enjoy the banter between Sweetwater, Haggard, & Redford? Yeah...the actual plot was weak...but I'll be damned if playing through it wasn't entertaining as hell.

IDK man...MW3 looks like its going to be ripping Crysis 2 off even harder, at least setting-wise.

Agreed. The BC1 banter was more entertaining, but BC2 is still pretty good. I wish they hadn't made them invulnerable, because it would have added to the challenge and immersiveness if you had to help them stay alive.

[quote name='PlatinumIce']Yeah, I think Bad Company 2 has better core gameplay, but BF3 has a far better unlock system. I like the way you can get up to a 100 (maybe more) stars on a gun and you need to get kills with it to get the attachments. It adds a long-term layer of progression, which is what I look for in an online FPS. Bad Company 2's "Have everything unlocked by level 20 or so" mentality just didn't suit me well.[/QUOTE]
On the flip side, I won't even bother trying to unlock everything this time so it's actually a worse approach. What is retarded is having to unlock the same things for every gun, which makes that shiny new unlock a pain to use. I've ended up just sticking with one weapon now because I don't feel like getting noobed while just trying to unlock the same shit again. So yeah, their 'improved' system backfired and will probably lead me to playing this less than I did BC2 overall. I like having goals in a game, but not ones that are a pain to work towards with ungodly amounts of time required for little reward.

BC2 was fine because it didn't take you months to unlock the stuff to 'get good'. Basically it's a vote of no confidence in the staying power of the gameplay itself when DICE tells you unlocks were too fast.
