How can a game be a dissapointment if it isn't even released yet?

And BF3 is pretty great at its core, its just obviously rushed. I can't think of a Battlefield game that hasn't had a botched release in some capacity.

my mistake,
but yeah i fuckin enjoyed the shit outta tropico, i wanted to like stronghold, but: Combat boils down to how many units your can throw into the meat grinder, fences and things that you assume protect your troops only hinder units, you can't build a fence without gaps, attacking units often times forget they are at war with you, your villagers will walk straight at a wolf and die often times without even trying to run away, and a whole mess of other issues

campcom's games aren't bad, it's just that capcom is so fucking greedy they put jew fortress to shame. at least okami ds came out...

try installing a 2.0 Witcher patch with a lot of new features and an epilogue added to the game.

by that same token, I also found pokemon to be a horribly unfun game, so I can see how there would be overlap.

In BF3, now i can launch it, i have been trying for 2 hours lol

I have. I had the opportunity to play 30 minutes of it at the Eurogamer Expo in London in September.
The man is correct.

The game has been leaked for about a week now.

I disliked how unbalanced the skills were. In a game series who's selling point has always been the ability to play however you like, they definitely screwed people over who didn't want to play as a fighter or a mage in Oblivion.

Let's also not forget the horror of scaling enemies. Scaling enemies completely remove the reward you get for leveling up, and instead punish you for leveling too fast.

Yes and Oblivion was also a huge downgrade in content from Morrowind, meant to be more of an action game than a hardcore RPG. A ton of skills and items removed lore removed same as Skyrim is doing to make it a smooth more action filled experience ala action/adventure with some rpg elements.

Dont talk about Too Human, that valkyrie cutscene haunts me in my sleep.

Wrong.

I'll agree that they can be overpriced at times, but handhelds definitely aren't a waste of money.

Forget all what you know about BF 2. Now it's just Call Of Duty with large maps and vehicles. Damn, even maps is large (Operation Firestorm really big one), flags are placed very tight, literaly 50-100 metres between each others. Map desigh — fail.
DICE promiced enhanced destruction, but all you can is make a hole in wall and on urban maps (really shitty maps, great for mortars and tubes) falling pieces of wall can kill you. Oh, you can not bring down entire building, only front side (some strictures still destructable, but same way as in Bad Company 2). Big dissapoinment.
Unlock system migrate straight from CoD: get kills — get attachments, after attachments get Srevice Star (10k points each).
On "hardcore" mode it is camperfest.
Yes, about snipers — totaly useless. They dont have C4, claymores and other usefull stuff for diversions. They scopes now bleaking. Only good thing abot class — spawn beacpn and MAV (little scout drone, works good with support mortar). In other cases they just camp in far corners of map and fap on their K/D ratio. Well, also recon can mark targets with laser and you can kill them in 1 or 2 hits with Javeline/Guided Missile, but it has only 200 yrd range or near that.
Enginers now is supermans with rocket launchers and strong guns. They can take care of themselves without squad in most situations.
Only 4 classes now — Assault (also medic with unlimited health kits and defibs), support (LMG and unlimited ammo, mortar have unlimited ammo by default), Enginer (repair tool, RPG/Stinger/Javelline, at mines), recon (some guy with rifle and respawn beacon). No more specialized classes with lots of good stuff.
Jets now can't hold whole Battlefield in fear by beathing the crap out of every single one in 4 cockpits with fearsome bombs (yeah, capture enemy airfield and go make kills! Good old days). They dont have bombs. Most of the time they fighting each other in skyes and nobody cares about them.
I wont talk about graphics — play on LOW settings because i need FPS higher than 30 and my rig is middle-end. But people say that it's not so amazing as promiced. Just looking good.
By the way, it's only 1.5 week since release. Lets see what happens with game after six months.
Sorry for bad English, it's not my native language.

I'd also add in horrible co-op missions, and no split-screen multiplayer. I know most people don't care about that, but I'm the type of person that would like to be able to play with my friends while sitting in the same room.

Also, for having 32 or 64 or however many people there are on a map, I've never felt so isolated and bored. In 20-30 minute matches, even the top kills are only in the 20's. Sure, it has more "realism" but it's awfully slow and boring.

For what it's worth, after playing about 30 hours, I sold it and preordered MW3. It's not that I dislike BF3, but I just know I probably won't play it once MW3 comes out so I wanted to get as much for it as possible now.
