The game is so broken, especially on PC. Requiring Origin and Battlelog is ridiculous, and the fact that over a month after release people (myself included) still have problems even joining a game is absurd.
BF3 feels way too much like COD, which is definitely a terrible thing.
Weapon damage/player health is scaled more to the COD players rather than BC2 style.
Destruction in BF3 is horrendous, give me a break. "Destruction 3.0" my ass. BC2 has SO much more destruction than BF3. Im really sickened at how little destruction there is in BF3, that was my favorite part of BC2. Apparently it was for "balancing issues" but WTH it worked fine in BC2...
Anyways I definitely prefer BC2 over BF3.
BF3 really brought nothing new to the table. Yeah people say graphics, but to be honest I think BC2 maxed out on PC is very close to BF3.... Besides graphics theres only more attachments, jets returning from BF2, and thats really it. Less destruction.... Less features than BF2... Terrible Battlelog and Origin....

I agree about destruction, but everything else is pure personal issues. Gun damage is fine and it's basically between bc2 hardcore and normal, you barely notice the difference playing Conquest Large.
I loved BC2 and played a lot of it, but BF3 is just more immersible and balanced. The only real thing I miss from bc2 is the AT4, hate playing an engie without it...

I haven't played BF3, but outside of AA guns, BC2 is pretty well balanced... unless you play on hardcore that is...

I always found hardcore pretty terrible because of 1 hit kill snipers.

Destruction is cranked way up in Back to Karkand. And they say they'll be adding karkand like destruction to the vanilla maps.
And it adds a fair amount of new stuff BC2 lacks. Prone, jets, different motors, better class balancing.

I thought so at the start (during metro rush of Beta) but on large conquest prone it's almost useless. Not only you move slow but you turn around really slow, plus you're an easy headshot for anyone running on front of you and an easy knife for anyone behind you.

It lets me set my bipod up and makes me a smaller target. Prones got some usefulness.

Prone is just bad in BF3. you get HSed whenever you try to shoot anyone while prone Bipods are total garbage cause of this IMO the best thing about it is for sneaking around and being able to use cover better. shooting guys from prone tends to fail unless you ambush him

Played BF3 a lot, got to Colonel, I can say BFBC2 is simply a better designed product. In BF3 they tried so hard, it turned out to be worse, stupid blue hud, unclickable map, dumb looking assault guy and a lot of weird design decisions.
Now back to BFBC2, just keep the servers up.

In BFBC2 you go through hell and live to tell the story, in BF3 you just get poped due to new CoD style damage model.

Yeah, the Dice is, it's been discussed to death, how they could have designed a better face model, except this looks like it came straight form 1930's propaganda.

This.
I'll sometimes play BC2 at peak hours on a map like Arica Harbor or Oasis. And It reminds me why BC2 was so awesome and BF3 kind of sucks in the current state its in.
I actually feel like I have a chance to retaliate rather than instantly dying. My K/D is almost always positive because of this (My SPM/W.L. as of late has been pretty decent as well.), and there are no top-tier guns that beat everything else. And the USAS sucks.

If you havin' hull problems I feel bad 'fo you son. I got 99 problems but a breach aint one.

you know what i miss about bc2? how people don't die so fast it seems like they're made of tissue paper. oh and the general ui is better; better minimap, better loadout and spawning ui, and you can just press enter to bring them up when the killcam is showing unlike bf3 where you're stuck watching the killcam for like ten seconds. i also like that the graphics don't have that annoying blue tint to it. this is a personal gripe but i also prefer bc2's gun sound effects and general chatter from the players' characters
i do like the back to karkand maps and certain vanilla bf3 maps, though

If I wouldn't have to run freaking Battlelog, I'd gain on average 10fps performance boost. Or at the very least a 5.
Which is pretty freaking important when the game runs only around 30fps at many occasions/events/areas.
