BF2 become BC2 which becomes BF3 and still no BF1943 for PC. lol

Will you be able to prone dive? Nothing better than 180 turn prone dive kill or dolphin diving to really fuck with the noobs who can't aim for shit. Too many faggots whining because they suck end up ruining the game elements so you end up with a cheap boring cut down simulation shit, where things like even going prone which the last time I checked in real life seemed very possible!.

Or will that be another 'non-feature' brought to you thanks to console-tardation and PC noobs.

Either way they should have made it a PC exclusive title, its not... so it will undoubtedly be shit and dumbed down.

oh and it will suck..

p.s anyone actually buying MoH Fanboy Edition to beta test B3?

Never proned dived to begin with. That's how you got hated in BF. It was considered lame ass tactics to me.

[Koogle]

its not always lame, it could be a sign of skill.

lame is running around just prone(dolphin diving) randomly everywhere you go (not that i'd care if someone was doing it in a game, its meant to be fun if that is them enjoying themselves so what, a better player would just shoot them down because when diving to prone its easier to predict fall direction aswel)... skill is also running around normally and if another player who's had a chance to kill you because they had spotted you first, but wasn't accurate/quick/good enough weapon to actually do the kill etc ...then they have given you a chance to dive to the floor/ or even jump turn around to where you think they are, and shoot back.. well tbh if they still haven't killed you by then, well that is just too bad, its the way the game goes and they should get better if it was their own lack of skill that let them down.

Its just how the game goes, and its game elements like those that make it a game.. faggot noobs nowadays want casual (aka SIMPLIFIED)and pretty graphics, and complain about all these other features that could be better with more control over them. The reality its them who suck, they're probably gaming on LCD with added lag, probably playing an FPS game multiplayer with less than 40fps avg, perhaps with a wireless mouse with added lag, it all adds up to adding to their handicap levels because of delay in reactions they end up with, and they get frustrated that someone they should have beaten when they had the best opportunity to do so, ended up using a game feature like diving to prone, and using it against them along with their faster reflexes and better mouse aim. They then proceed to blame what was the obvious factor that is easier to blame, completely fucking failing all other logically based explanations as to them sucking.

When you look at it objectionably things like diving to prone isn't the problem, what could be silly unrealistic is constant jump/dive/prone/get up/run/jump/dive/prone etc.. in that case a stamina attribute should be added so that you can't just keep abusing it(not that any fit person couldn't do that for a while either lol). Its a bit like the bunny hopping advantage players could get in counter strike, by strafe jumping/ esp down ramps, you could beat the other team to key locations, that is game abuse and one sided unfair play, but only because its a team vs team game and those maps aren't symmetrical.

In the case of Free for all, deathmatch etc, random spawn locations, best man for himself, there should be no restriction on things like that, if you can use it your advantage you should, its not like its a secret cheat, besides your aim is less accurate when jumping, so those doing it can be caught out, the advantage can work both ways, just as both players can dive prone.

Fact is, its more unrealistic taking out diving to prone in a game like battlefield, especially when it already existed! What next remove crouch? Its only appealing to a console audience that already has bad lame aiming handicaps because they are using a friggin analogue stick. For keyboard/mouse users why should we get more dumbed down games, not that I really care anymore its gone on for to long now I just don't buy them. Until such a time as things change and actually get better instead of shit with better gfx and lame everything else.

"That's how you got hated in BF."

yes well a lot of haters, hate on the wrong things because of their own ignorance and arrogance usually. Doesn't mean they are right or should get their way, infact its better they don't as they just make things more shit. As the industry takes the path of least effort for most $ only happy to pander to an audience that's increasingly getting more dumb and allowing themselves to be screwed.

[th4t1guy]

Battlefield realistic?

Shut up.

[Koogle]

The point I was making: .
th4t1guys head:
Chances that point went over his head: 99.9999%

[tride]

I am starting to hate DICE. They are just spewing games like shit!
One engine and then nothing new but visuals! THis sux hard!
At least sell it cheaper, fuckers!

[darknothing]

ill stick with bc2 and its flaws over this.
only game with destructible environments and great vehicles.
if they copy that for bf3 then its not bf3. its bc 2.5

If you are talking to me Koogle with the 'going over my head'. From your first sentence I didn't continue reading. The sign of a true loser is the one who instantly turns around and tries to characterize a cheap tactic as a sign of skill. No Koogle, prone diving was for cheap pricks who had to exploit shit in the game so they could stay alive longer. No I played the game fair and square not like a cheap prick. I'm never looking to be the top on the scoreboard, I play a good honest game. I hope they never put prone back in. It was a good idea at the beginning but so many players saw how it could be exploited. I play to have fun not be a cheap prick on a server. When I do get on top of the scoreboard I always feel great pride because I did it legit and I did nothing stupid to get there. Ever. Always have been a clean player.
