Battlefield 3 vs bad company 2: Reddit — Dive into anything — Mitspielen — Vampire Live in München

Reddit — Dive into anything

Originally I was writing why I like BC2 more than BF3 for a forum. Over an hour it grew to this. I’m curious what other people think as well.

Quite simply from someone who tries to objectively view games I find myself in a situation where I can say, easily, that Bad Company 2 was a better ‘game’ than Battlefield 3.

There are numerous reasons why:

Health/Damage disparity: In BC2 you could take 1 or 2 more bullets from nearly every source. This made headshots worth more and made it so if you were skillful enough you could manage to get a kill when surprised by an enemy. In actuality you still have 100 hp… its the gun damages that were altered.

In BC2 the weapons of the offensive kits did about 14-16.7 damage per bullet. In BF3 they do 26-31. This means you die in 4 bullets in BF3 and 7 in BC2.

The Guns: «Man I really like the ak-47! It’s just feels like the best for me.» «Yeah man, I know that feeling. The FAMAS is just a killing machine in my hands!» That crap is an illusion. Here are the gun stats from BC2 and BF3.

In BF3 almost all the guns are homogeneous in every way. Every gun class (assault rifle, submachine, etc) may have 12 different skins but there are only 2 different guns. They vary in this way. Either one gun has a lower fire rate but more damage or a higher fire rate and lower damage. Of course once you categorize them this way you may notice that your favorite gun isn’t the most statistically superior in the ‘lower fire rate higher damage’ category and is beat out by another gun with equal stats in everything except reload time. And even then the reload time is only .05 better.

Hell, here are Modern Warfare 3’s gun stats. They’re almost identical to BF3’s in every way. They even kill in the same number of bullets.

In BC2 you had more variety. Different guns had special properties. Some had their damage drop off in different ways at a distance, some didn’t drop off at all. Some guns had unique firing modes. Some let you switch weapons faster. Some had different spread patterns (mostly shotguns). They had the same homogenization issue but on a much smaller level. Every gun had a statistically similar pair or two… but not 5-8 pairs.

I also enjoyed the potency of the pistols in BC2.

The Maps: The maps in BC3 were almost entirely designed for consoles (by that I mean their max player cap per server). There were very few maps that played properly with 64 players. Hell, on most maps even 32 was pushing it. Quite frankly… this is incredibly obvious from a design standpoint.

Hell, even the god damn vehicle spawns don’t adjust for players. It’s like they wanted enough vehicles for only 32 players at all times. This creates a situation where on 32 vs 32 on several maps in BF3 you literally don’t have enough transportation out of your base. You could fill every seat on every vehicle and still leave several people walking absurd distances. And since most people roll off by themselves you get half your damn base walking.

Too much close quarters combat. They appear to have been trying to cater to the CoD crowd here. I know that sounds like something a forum troll would say but seriously… CoD maps are all about closed sightlines and close quarters combat.

Battlefield is about large maps and large amounts of players battling it out with tons of vehicles and armaments. There are plenty of open areas in BF3 but they aren’t places where you should normally be fighting. The funnel the players via incentives and choke points. An incentive is having an objective in a tunnel. A choke point is having to go into a tunnel to get to the objective. BF3 made the mistake of having a god damn inventive in a god damn choke point.

The system that Battlefield’s 64 player combat created was that you didn’t need large amounts of incentives or choke points to control the action. How it worked was simple. There were so many players that you were literally incapable of not running into someone.

Of course there many subtleties. Since there were two main bases you knew which direction the player would be coming from. Since players could spawn from captured points you knew that was also a possible direction they could be coming from. If you manage to come from an unexpected direction you were almost guaranteed a kill.

This is why crap like Rush is just that, crap. You have one ingress through one or two choke points towards the objective. They know where you are coming from and where you are going. This creates what I like to call a killing field. A killing field is an impassable @#$% house of people camping behind better cover than you.

This includes: Respawns close to the objectives Better accuracy because they’re camping (being prone) Smaller profile to hit (they’re prone so you are going to have a hard time hitting/seeing them) Escalating advantage (you take out on point and then there is only one left. This makes it so you can’t overwhelm one point when there forces are split. If 32 are fighting 32 and one side has a huge advantage I wonder who wins)

The Vehicles: Honestly this is a big one. So many things were changed. First off the unlock system makes vehicular combat incredibly unfair for new players. This is especially true for anything that flys. The unlocks for jets are what let them fulfill a function for your team. A new player in a jet has no way to defend themselves from the one billion rockets locked on to them or that Ace Pilot Lt. General RapeStorm coming his way with missiles locked on, his codpiece ready, and his extra large pack of flares.

No vehicle in a Battlefield game (hell, no games I can think of) should start of useless. You can barely attack anything that isn’t another jet with the stuff it starts with. You have to ‘unlock’ crap that lets you actually contribute to the team below. Hell, a lot of jet players don’t even take such unlocks and just continue to play the super fun jet mini-game in the sky that has 0 influence of the games objective. It’s like everyone is playing Quidditch… except everyone on the ground is the chaser while the jet players are the pointless rabble of unnecessary extra positions.

The whole lock-on thing in general kinda sucks. It forces you to bring certain unlocks. It also raises another problem… too many players. The more players in the game the more lock-on sources… but the amount of vehicles doesn’t change.

Bad Company 2 did it right and a bit wrong. Vehicles had a powerful presence and were hard to deal with but still being vulnerable to a foot soldier. Even someone ready to take one down would have to have a bit of skill to do it. You had two options hit it with dumbfire explosives (or the vaguely ‘guided’ launchers) or tag that beast with a tracer dart. This was a solid system because if they were flying in a way that made them hard to hit with the dart pistol then their crew had an incredibly hard time aiming.

When every player can lock-on to your vehicle with a two hit kill launcher from anywhere on the map you need to have a system for the pilot to be able avoid those lock-ons. This results in a single individual being almost incapable of taking down a chopper/jet.

The only problem was when you had a blackbird at the top of the skybox. This created several problems… namely that you literally couldn’t stop it. They were higher than you so you couldn’t ascend up to them in another blackbird because you couldn’t aim your guns straight up… so they would spray you with miniguns until you exploded. They had a permanent floating spawn point.

My solution… lower the damn skybox.

My last issue is the disabled vehicle status in Battlefield 3. It caused several problems.

Investment vs reward: In order to take it down in a traditional manner you need to role engineer. You risk life and limb to fire 2-5 rpgs at this beast. You may get lucky and have the rear be exposed or you might risk even more trying to get a line of sight on its ass. You take your shots and bam… 100 points. They all get out of the disabled pos and either get away or get picked off by the rest of your team. Sure you can nab one too but what the hell.

You rolled engineer to blow these things up. A big hulking monstrosity full of players being destroyed should result in the points for 1x hulking monstrosity and 4x players housed within.

2. Only two good ways to blow them up and be properly rewarded. C4 or landmines. C4 is for active destruction (see a tank and blow it up). You can destroy it all at once and everyone inside. Landmines are for passive destruction (ambiently protecting your bases and maps). Land mines have the same property of being able to destroy armor in one go. You need 3 each to completely destroy a vehicle. Additionally landmines don’t despawn when you die (which I agree with… but not when launchers aren’t viable like they are in BF3) which further compounds their advantage.

The Server Browser: Holy crap. The battle-log is just that… a nice floating log in a toilette. When it works it works well enough. But it never works. Either someone appears offline for no reason, the chat doesn’t work (voice/text), the chat does work but randomly omits certain things, and so much more. Playing with your friends on the same team has never been so difficult.

My main complaint is it has all sorts of unique issues in every browser. It’s a hulking crapsack. Battlefield has a history of releasing unusable server browsers but in this day and age… come on. It feels like BF2142 all over again.

The Ranking System: Not too many gripes here. It takes a bit too long to level up into class defining mechanics. Hell, it takes too long to level up without resorting to stupid crap like MAV point farming (float the thing to the top of the map and just get points for marking crap and get 1st place at the end of the round).

The Little Things: Lets start with scope glare. Well all sniper scopes have the same two types of glare. A crapload or none at all. That’s right that 6x has the same amount of glare as a 12x. Fine, sun glinting off glass is sun glinting off glass. I find it renders snipers and even more compromising class. Not only with all the new players role recon/sniper/1337assassin… they will now role one and be easily targetable at a distance. It also discourages scouting via scope and instead only shooting at enemies you can readily see without a scope.

The flashlight. I just personally find it retarded. Sure even in real life you can temporarily render someone incapable of seeing properly if your light source has a high luminous intensity. I might also add that your eyes aren’t nearly as susceptible to this if they are adjusted to daylight.

How certain unlocks are unlocked on a per-gun basis. I don’t know what kind of mentally handicapped soldier I am that I can’t just remove the scope I unlocked on one gun onto another. Hell, I can even put it onto another that uses the same kind of accessory rail. This exists solely to pad out unlocks.

Destructibility: How BF3 has less destructibility on maps then BC2. Buildings don’t collapse, very few walls are destructible, very little cover is destructible, and generally less crap being blow-up-able. This is just another feature that was lost. I enjoyed the changing dynamic of the maps during a game. In the first ten minutes people took cover in this building. At the twenty minute mark that building was a hole in the ground so they all moved on to new locations. That rooftop where all those noob snipers camp bothering you? Blow it the @#$% up.

Realism is not equivalent to fun nor is it the antithesis: People complain about realism in games or want more. If realism adds to the game in a positive way then implement the feature. If it doesn’t… then avoid it like the plague.

I’d like to talk about skill in Cod games. Your aim in CoD is far from the most important thing a player needs to succeed. The only real skill in CoD is your ability to move around the map in a way that offers you the most advantageous sight lines while denying your opponent theirs. Being able to do this in an unpredictable manner is the highest level of skill in that game.

As a gamer who enjoyed Unreal Tournament, Quake, Halo, and more I understand how this kind of skill is important… but I also understand how being shot at and dying with zero chance of retaliation in a ‘game’ is not fun.

Creating a game that has reasonable health pools along with this skill in using sight lines is what creates a competitive fps game with a high skill cap. People often mistake this for the argument of health vs damage. It isn’t. It’s encounter duration vs player ability (using sight lines and accuracy).

CoD is popular because it’s modern setting which appeals to a wide demographic (and it’s a setting which lets new players adjust faster and become invested in quicker due to it’s familiarity) and how easy it is to do good (and bad).

In Closing: Battlefield Bad Company 2 was a lot closer to the sweet spot in ‘encounter duration vs player ability’ and differentiated itself from the competition.

Battlefield 3 while advancing graphics steps further from that sweet spot while attempting to play like its competition. These two factors make for a game that is less fun, less skillful, less strategic, and a game that no longer exists within it’s own niche.

To me personally it feels like Battlefield 3 wanted to become CoD like draw in its user base and instead of evolving the features of the Battlefield IP (large combat, vehicles, etc) simply used them by saying «hey we have this feature and CoD doesn’t».

I like CoD (as a player, not a consumer) and I like Battlefield. But I don’t like what Battlefield 3 became. All it did was get better graphics, appeal to CoD’s user base, lose a ton of features, and stagnate.

EDIT: Small edit for grammar and an addition to the lock-on complaint.

Battlefield Needs the Glory Days of BF3 and Bad Company 2 Back

By
Richard Warren

Published Nov 14, 2022

Whether it comes through remakes or a new game with a similar style, DICE should aim to revive the glory days of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2.

It goes without saying that the Battlefield franchise has had a rough time in recent years. Battlefield 4 had a very messy launch, and though it did eventually recover to become a solid game, it marks the start of a rough era for the franchise. With the exception of the excellent Battlefield 1, the series has released several weak games in a row, as Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 5, and Battlefield 2042 all proved disappointing. As such, it is hard for fans to not think back to the glory days of the series.

While Battlefield 2 was an excellent game, Battlefield 3 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 were arguably the peak of the franchise. These back-to-back hits popularized the excellent Rush game mode, giving Conquest some competition. Both offered strong campaigns and numerous iconic maps, while the version of the Frostbite engine used for them provided a perfect balance between destruction and visual fidelity. Going forward, DICE should seek to bring back these glory days, restoring the Battlefield franchise’s reputation through remasters or similar projects.

Battlefield 3 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Are Viable Options for Remakes

Since EA is finally starting to step further into remake territory with Dead Space, the publisher should consider doing the same with its juggernaut FPS franchise. After all, EA and DICE are clearly aware of the popularity of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2, something that is shown with the former’s successful realism mod and the latter’s presence in Battlefield Portal.

Though a Battlefield 3 remaster was rumored to release alongside Battlefield 2042, this never came to pass, with fans stuck playing the original version of the game. Unfortunately, while it still has players, the game being stuck on older consoles significantly limits its audience. Further, though it holds up decently and was stunning at the time, it is lacking a bit visually when compared to modern FPS games. Similarly, Bad Company 2 is a slightly dated game that is also trapped on older consoles, and it deserves to be polished and brought to a whole new audience.

Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2 Should Inspire New Games

While it would be great to see an upgraded Operation Metro, Rush returning to its former glory, and characters like Haggard in action again, new versions of BF3 and Bad Company 2 would only be a band-aid for the series’ problems. For the series to continue to thrive, DICE has to deliver strong new games as well. When crafting them, it should make sure to evoke feelings of the two beloved entries mentioned above.

To replicate the feelings of these Battlefield games, DICE can focus on a few things. First, traditional singleplayer campaigns with likable characters such as the eponymous Bad Company should be present, and Rush should no longer be an afterthought. Maps like Operation Metro and Damavand Peak were iconic for a reason, as the way that players progressed through them was terrific. A class-based approach should be present from the get-go, avoiding the outrage of Battlefield 2042, and DICE should make sure to balance infantry combat and vehicle combat equally so that all players are satisfied.

One other strength of these games was their approach to DLC. While some changes would obviously be needed in a live service format, as paid map packs are a thing of the past, Battlefield: Vietnam and Battlefield 3’s Close Quarters were excellent expansions with clear themes. With its next Battlefield game, DICE should seek to replicate this, giving each of its Seasons more personality. A Vietnam-themed season with weapons, skins, and maps from that era could be run, as could a Close Quarters-inspired Season with Shotguns, SMGs, and small-scale maps. Battlefield’s recent post-launch support has been lacking in comparison to what Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 had, and it is another area to work on. Whether through remasters/remakes or spiritual successors, BF3 and Bad Company 2 should inspire the future of Battlefield.

Board games / Playkot

“Roma, what are these figurines?”

It all started with the desire of one person. A long time ago, when we were still sitting in the office on Lakhtinskaya, Roma Zorin brought a detachment of beautifully painted plastic soldiers to work and carefully placed them on his desktop. After a while, bright figures began to attract our attention, and we began to ask questions. It was strictly forbidden to touch the figurines, so we touched them in the absence of the owner. But there was one person among us who immediately recognized the “plastic soldiers” as a platoon of the Dark Angels Chapter of the Imperial Space Infantry. It was Artem Milyukov, a game designer from the Knights team.

In the evenings after the working day, the guys started playing. First they played Varmashina. Then they took on Malifaux, a steampunk turn-based strategy game. Over time, they came to Warhammer. Spectators were invited and training matches were organized for those who were interested. Everyone who wanted to learn more about the mysterious miniatures came. Some even stayed. At first they played on a bare table in a meeting room, then Artyom brought a few details of the landscape, which settled there, in the closet. For the figurines, they made a special glass shelf (the temptation to touch the soldiers while Roma is drinking coffee in the kitchen only grew from this). Slowly but surely, board games began to take their place in Playkot culture.

Morning of the battle

Sven the Lucky grinned, baring his fangs. The Blood Angels cannot snatch the prey from the Space Wolves. Sven was born a hunter and will not give back what was obtained with such difficulty. However, the situation was somewhat unusual. Clash with another Space Marine Chapter? It happened. But getting into a fight for a xenos was strange. And yet the order of the Rune Priests and the Inquisitor was extremely transparent — to find and deliver alive. A squad of Blood Angels went to take revenge under the cover of «Baal» — a magnificent tank, which is in service with the order. A sniper from Sven’s squad aimed his rifle at one of the red helmets and froze, waiting for the leader’s order…

Hills in the closet

Artem and Nikita agree on the rules and prepare the battlefield.

Today is early Tuesday morning. Artyom and Nikita gathered for another battle between the Space Wolves and the Blood Angels. Detachments lined up on the ruins of the old city. The two armies are frozen opposite each other, the expectation of battle is in the air. Hour X comes. Nikita looks at the cards laid out in front of him. Throws dice — two fives. The sniper fires at one of the stormtroopers. Direct hit. The battle has begun.

Moving to a new office opened up new battlefields for the guys. In one of the meeting rooms, already at the design stage, we conceived a special table for games. During the day, the room functions normally (we only call it the strange word «game»). An inquisitive mind, however, opening the cabinets in turn in it, will find many interesting objects — forests, hills, even entire city blocks. All these are the details from which battlefields are assembled, similar to what is unfolding before our eyes.

Troops are marching in all directions, the guys roll the dice and look intently at the guides with the characteristics of their soldiers. The fight becomes more and more furious.

Wolves fight to the end

Angel reinforcements turn the tide of the battle

Sven shook his head, trying to brush his tangled hair off his forehead. If before this the situation was simply bad, now it has become disgusting — the reinforcements of the Blood Angels arrived at the most inopportune moment. The Wolves had only minutes to live. So it’s time to enter the sagas. Throwing his face back to the stars, Sven let out a long howl and, grabbing his shield more comfortably, threw himself against the wall of red armor. Shaking under a hail of blows, with the fury of a berserker, he smashed the enemy with an ax and no longer heard how an answering howl was heard somewhere nearby …

Is it possible to print a detachment of heroes on the printer?

Gnome for D&D. Everything you need for battle — an ax, a shield and a beard, is already printed.

In the same conference room, a 3D printer proudly flaunts on a rack. Bought with the participation of the hackathon winners fund, it is now actively used by the role-playing game club. The guys act out scenarios according to the rules of D&D, and they need unique miniatures to participate in adventures. Everyone chooses the model that suits him best in spirit. Printing even a small figurine takes several hours, and one cannot do without a reserve of patience.

Artem agrees: patience is an essential quality for all board game lovers. Creating your own unique army to fight in Warhammer and Warmachine is as important a part of the process as the battles themselves. For example, Artyom painted the armies that are now fighting on the table by himself. One detachment — almost 20 years ago, the other — quite recently. Has anything changed during this time? “I just began to see painted figurines differently. — Artyom answers. — Where before it seemed to me enough to make just red armor, now I want to emphasize the indentations and bulges, play with scratches on the armor, note that the armor from below is darker — after all, the light falls from above. Meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield takes an unexpected turn.

The pack does not abandon its comrades

Bjorn’s squad avenges their fallen comrades

They arrived too late to save their pack brothers, but just in time to avenge their fallen comrades. Bjorn himself led them. There he, surrounded by wolves, is already hacking with his huge adamantium sarcophagus into a detachment of Angels, scattering huge figures in power armor with claws. With a howl, the Wolf Guards rushed forward through the smoke, pouring into the fiercest hand-to-hand combat. By this time, the Wolf scouts with their xenos-captured prey were already far away.

3:0 in favor of the Space Wolves

Artem makes a throw that will bring him victory

Another match ended with the victory of the Space Wolves. At 11:07, it’s time to start the working day. The miniatures were sent to their camp, the elements of the battle field were put away in the closet.
