Is PS2 comparable to BF3?

Hey guys.

Do you all think that PS2 is closely comparable to BF3?

Thanks!

Vaguely. It's possible for maybe some aspects, but they're both very, very different.

In some respects, yes. In most aspects, such as balance and unit acquisition, it's perhaps better to compare it to a RTS game, tbh.

As was said, very vaguely, and that is a good thing considering how broken BF3 is.

The meta-game has been referred to BF3 in the sense that we had a bunch of bases all over the map which were being captured way too fast. There was hardly any persistence or progression to acquiring land. In turn this caused most of the bases to play like they were individual BF3 maps. This was more obvious when the beta first started due to the prevalence, and only mobile spawn, that we had with the Galaxy at first. This aspect was changed to allow a better flow of ground forces which in turn changed the way the game played in regards to battle-flow.

Yes, I'd say it's somewhat related to BF3, but not as much as you'll hear people complaining about. In my opinion, it's far more fun to play, though.

I would have to agree. Love the game.

It is a little bit like bf3, but i guess it is less boring. For me, at least.

SFJake · 2012-10-13, 12:24 PM

Its like BF3 in all the bad ways, yes. You know BF3 is a shit game, right?

I would say more if they make BF 2142 a MMOFPS.

I can see EA doing that, but so far the market is in the modern shooter mode.

I didn't remember you can fly with a Jetpack in BF3 ^^
No srsly PS2 looks for me a little bit like BF 2142. But that doesn't say, that PS2 is a copy or something. It is just familiar.

VaderShake · 2012-10-18, 04:23 PM

I thnk it feels like BF2142 X 1,000 times scale but it does not compare to BF3 at all. BF3 is simple forced action with no learning curve. PS2 is something extremely different.

No. Battlefield 3 doesn't have commander mode. It provides no tools for your team to work together and it doesn't even have in-game VOIP. It has small maps with fewer control points that funnel players in very specific parts of the map. BF3 can't even compare to BF2 and 2142.

You could make a more accurate comparison with Battlefield 2/2142 and Planetside 2. They both offer a lot in terms of teamwork but Battlefield doesn't even come close in regards to scale and metagame.

Let's not forget about persistence, three factions and metagame. Battlefield has nothing on that.

In conclusion it would be unfair to compare the games as Planetside 2 is a very different game with a lot to offer. Battlefield 3 can't even compare to its predecessors.

bf3 is a disgrace to the bf community, the worst bf in history as said above, it cant even comparable to bf2/2142 because its so crap. Bf3 is something like cod with vehicles. PS2 brings me back the old bf2142 memories and even more, i love it.

Envenom · 2012-10-18, 10:18 PM

Love BF3. Amazing game. BF2 is still king however. They are comparable only because they both allow massive scale and vehicles... otherwise not really.
