Yeah, because running and gunning is just so fun....
It is actually but rushing is a lot more than just running around aimlessly and spraying your gun. Rushing is navagating the map as fast as possible but maintaining advantage in your gunfights all the way. You're just doing it at a fast speed. That's not possible in Battlefield because the maps have too many massively open spaces.
Dont see how thats a problem, they are easily taken down by RPGs. I've spent well over 50+ hours on the game online, and I have yet to see a helicopter doing enough damage to 'dominate the map'. Hell, they usually go down within first minute of lift off.
Well, I've spent over 320 hours on the game (I don't hate it), and I know that a good helicopter pilot will circle my spawn almost endlessly, and as soon as he's shot down, he will wait for the helicopter to spawn again in his own deployment, and then it will be straight back to the rape. rpgs do not shoot helicopters down easily if they're being piloted correctly because a gfood pilot changes his flight path up while he's floating over your head firing rockets and whatnot at you. They completely dominate the game when played correctly.
]As far as sniping goes, I do agree with you, there are more camping possibilities for snipers, and that there are more snipers than in Call of Duty, but thats just how the games played. Dont hate the game, hate the players. Besides, the whole medic pack thing, I didnt even realize that was viable... much less running into it online. You dont try to go head to head with a sniper, thats your fault. You sneak around cover to try and get close. You dislike this game because its more realistic than the overrated run and gun shooter like Call of Duty?
It's all the reasons I mention, dude. I can stick black ops in, set my killstreaks to blackbird, chopper gunner and dogs and get half a century of kills for less than double figures in deaths consistently just by playing somewhat intelligently and having fast target acquisition. I put Battlefield in and, in some games, I am getting raped by tanks and choppers straight off my spawn through no fault of my own. I can spend a whole game just trying to shoot this stuff down while being picked off by the men on the ground, too. If that's realistic or fun for some, good for them, I just hate being the punch bag for unskilled players because they're vehicle whoring or sitting in dark corners where their camo completely blends them in with the scenery so I don't know they're even there until I've been shot in the back...
The maps are perfect for this type of gameplay anyways. They have to make it big because cover and buildings get blown to shit all the time. I prefer this so much more than stupid maps like NUKETOWN in Black ops where you just throw a god damned grenade and get kills.
I think nuketown is a garbage map. Firing range, Summit and Grid are by far the best maps on Black Ops because they're the most balanced and you can't out and out hide on any of them.
If they made the battlefield maps more urban with many more streets and alternate routes which are in cover, that would be a massive benefit to the game. It's garbage that you have to get in a vehicle just to get from your deployment zone to within 200ft of the objective, or spend 5 minutes running across an open expanse with snipers and heavy machine guns looking to pick you off from across the entire map.

the only thing I agree with you is no motion sensor, but then that would just mean you have to rely on your radar more often. Another realistic point. In Call of Duty, spy planes are often ignored, since people rack up that shit so easily and fast. I just usually go straight for the 5+ kill streaks.
A game like Battlefield needs some kind of killstreak system and more recon tools like spy planes would help you navigate the maps, and given the size of them, you really do need the help if you're a devoted foot slogger.
I want to see Battlefield excel and be a far better game than Call Of Duty because I am tired of COD and some of the garbage stuff in that, but it's going to have to implement some of the things I am talking about to outdo Call of duty in my opinion. If the primary market is PC gamers, Battlefield 3 will suck. Console players should be your bread and butter.
