Battlefield 3 (2011) - Part 1
0I dont think i have ever anticipated the launch of a game more than i was for Battlefield 3, this game would be different to the wet fart that was Bad Company 2, 64 player & the ability to prone & fly jets had been restored to the franchise & the trailer featured the opening scene from the 2nd level which was absolutely jaw dropping for the time
Finally! i thought, a deserving sequel to Battlefield 2... but there was a problem, no VOIP (seriously wtf even BC2 had VOIP) i know Battlefield isnt a fully fledged tactical shooter but how on earth can a game thats core gameplay mechanic is to 'push objectives together with your squad' lack the ability to communicate with said squad members, i will never forget my first few matches on this game, my squad leader would spawn, we would all spawn off them & then everyone would run off in a different direction... it felt like a goofy arcade COD ripoff
i know BF3 has a big place in alot of the communities heart but for the longest time i felt that it was a massive step backwards for the franchise & to be honest i racked up about 15 hours on it at launch & then walked away, this might not sound like the actions of a diehard BF fan but i put 5 years into BF2 before i was hit hard by BC2 & then with BF3 missing such a glaring mechanics, it was just too much for me to bear
in what is perhaps a twist of fate, i have found myself playing BF3 alot recently, i realised in returning that i had next to 0 play time on the majority of the maps & for me its like a brand new game, part of me wished i hadnt been so hard on it back in the day but i definately cant complain about having so much "new" content to dive into now
It isnt my favourite Battlefield but I think i have finally made my peace with a game i held a grudge against for the better part of a decade
