I won't be buying it, that's for sure. I would actually prefer they made a sequel to 2142. Oh well. Only way that I would buy it is if a FirstStrike 2 mod was released for it!

For the love of hamsters, NO MORE WW2 F'ING GAMES!

The whole game community has agreed that WW2 and Killin Nazis has been done to bloody death!

Even Call of Duty has finaly exepted it!

If you want to play a WW2 game play some of the other 534 WW2 games out there, we don't need anymore.

WW1 does not have enough vehicles or exciting enough gameplay to make a good game IMO.  "Lets sit in this trench for 30 minuts and see if anyone jumps out of there trench!"  "Oh snap!  They got a tank, the americans have a tank, they win."  "I fly one of 2 types of planes and dont have a parashut!"

BF Crusaders would not work due to lack of vehicles and the chanalnges in coding a pure (almost) melee game.   For vehicles, you would have Horse, Balista, Catapult and Battering ram and thats about it.  Battlefield is about vehicles primarily and big wars, if ya don't want vehicles go play Unreal.

You know what.... lets do something drastic... lets group up as a collective, figure out what we will be willing to pay for, and tell Dice to include it in BF3 as a collective. A petition if you will....

Honestly, complaining and wailing does nothing, constructive criticism is always good and suggestions would be nice.

The use of the Frostbite engine sounds promising because I would love for them to incorporate massive amounts of destructable terrian (albeit semi-realistic).

Second this idea of a battallion is interesting but I dont see the purpose... Squads are pretty singular and with only 40 people to a team max I dont see more than one Battallion ever existing.

Thirdly, I must say YAAAWN to the setting. Woot we're back in the Middle East with the exact same weapons, whhhooopdee freaking doo. I wont pay money for this game unless it has something that makes it 10 times better than 2142 and 2 (both of which I like alot).

What I want to see in BF3

-First and foremost I want to see some new setting. WWII is old, Modern Conflicts are common, and they just did the Future bit... come up with a good idea that isn't rehashed (Vietnam and Korea are nice, but sadly they aren't epic enough).

-A persistant online world with changing front lines and what not. Tom Clancy's End Game promises something like this.

-Destructable Enviornments ('nuff said)

-Explorable Enviornments (if you are gonna put us in a city make every or almost every building accessable damnit)

-A new goddamn mode. I am tired of Conquest maps and fo' Conquest Maps (Titan mode). Yes its a tried and true method but Dice has fed it to us for the past four games!!!!! Give us some modes that change it up entirely. Like Fortress Defense or Limited Respawns. Give me more than "cap this flag" which we have been doing for 7 years!

-I would love to see something on the scale of Planet Side in the battlefield franchise... but to be honest I'm not sure how they could do that...

SETTING SUGESTIONS

1] Maybe they could give us a BF set in 2042 which bridges the gap between BF: 2 and BF: 2142. It would have near future devices already invented, an unstable national body (fuel crisis, modernizing countries, maybe a missile shield), and best of all a massive global civil war!!!

OR

2] Toss us a curveball and jump on the Alternative Reality Bandwagon (NOT A BAD THING IN MY OPINION) make a setting that drastically changes histroy like the Axis won WWII or the USSR won the Cold War or something really out there but feasible and make a new world that would entice us veterans who have seen WWII, who have seen Vietnam, and who are current with Military Technology.
