"Battlefield 3 will offer vast variety of gameplay experiences" says Dice

aslong as squads are still the best way to go to win a round i'm good with it :)
 
I don't mind at all. Don't see the reason for groaning. I don't mind if they add a bit off stuff, as long as they do it right and I'm sure they will.
 
Uhhhh...

I don't get it!

I can open up Bad Company 2 right now and play without being in a squad.
In fact I do that every time I play outside of my circle of friends.

I absolutely HATE finding an unchecked sniper rest and 5 seconds later an engineer spawns on me and starts shooting at birds or rocks like they insulted his mother...
It's about that time that a tank or mortar would flush the spot and all is lost...
 
They can add as many modes as they like, as long as conquest and rush aren't messed with. And playing lonewolf isn't a new concept. I remember there was even a award or something in BF2142.
 
The issue I have with this is IO mode.

IO mode killed the community of BF2 and split the playerbase in 2, essentially creating sub-communities, each with their haters/lovers.

Not a good idea imho, but if accessibility is their goal, sigh, lets throw in CTF mode, HC mode, pistol only mode, knife only mode, no-strafe-mode...

Stick to Conq+Rush and make sure they work, thats all.
 
While I like the idea it probably won't work as well as they think it will. There'll be modes that won't be played at all two or three months after release. My prediction is that Conq and Rush will be popular, but maybe Team Deathmatch as well if it's simular to COD.

TDM might be popular for a while, but conquest and rush will win the day. Some COD converts might stick with TDM and eventually come over to the light side and play a proper game like conquest!
 
So..in short, just like BC2. Squad Deathmatch ala grouped team deathmatch. I don't mind the extra modes at all. I just hope to god the backend isn't anything like Plasma. Need hitreg. I cringe when I see BC2 "frag" vids.
 
I think its great. BF opens its appeal to more gamers and brings more to the competition with COD franchise, but still retains what made it great to original fans.

this keep IO (infantry only) away and everything will be fine :)
