Who do I get my internet hug from?  Is it either a kitten or an attractive woman?

Well, you know, a cat is fine too.


And I'd just like to state that I had no knowledge of BF1943.  I thought this was about BF1942, in which the engineer really is badass.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

Hurray I'm awesome!  Still I'm sure there are several people on RPG Codex that could do it better.  I don't hang around there much because they're just too angry, and it gets me down.

Convinced me to stay away....

Don't get me wrong, there are actually a few intelligent and kowledgable individuals there who every once in a while hold a worthwhile discussion about gaming that doesn't immediately get overrun by tards.  But most of them are idiots.  Example: Complaining about the Witcher getting a free content update.

Let me rephrase:

Convinced me to stay away from Battlefield 1943, since they have apparently killed everything I loved about the series

Oh yeah, there's regenerating health too.

Everyone in WWII has been replaced with space marines, apparently.

Handwave: It's not regenerating health! It's the bullet dissolving in your acidic blood! So it no longer hurts!

For single player FPS games, I like the auto-heal.  It makes me very happy.

For multiplayer FPS games, where there is the possibility of a character that can heal... I like that better.

Basically, it seems like they are giving up on the whole teamwork idea.  (Infinite bullets, Free healing, one person can deal with any problem...)

Not entirely true.  Riflemen can't take out tanks, Soldiers can't easily take out enemies that are far away, unless they are standing still and/or too stupid to get out of the way of a rocket, and snipers are slightly less effective at taking out infantry at close range.  It's not that they've removed teamwork completely, just that they've mostly removed it... but no one ever worked together in BF1942 either.

"Actually, it's still there. But just a quarter of it."

You need friends for teamwork.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

It's kind of funny.  I actually got more teamwork in my hour with the demo of this game than I have ever gotten in BF1942.  Seriously.  I got in a jeep and two guys hopped in with me and we drove to a flag and captured it together!  Another guy actually waited a couple seconds in a boat for myself and another guy to get in before launching!

[Granite26]

I actually had a group of friends who would drive out to the local lan center (we all had good PCs, but it was cheap enough that for a few hours, it was worth the money to be co-local).

We were pretty scary, especially one and I in the Apache.  There's nothing like the classic pop and drop from behind a hill.

Sometimes I think I'd like to see a 30pc vs thousands of NPCs in a game like this.  Create a higher death penalty, and lower the twitch to where tactics were more useful and less 'I've played this map a thousand times, and this is what works.'

Operation Flashpoint?

[mainiac]

My favorite class in battlefield 2 was always the medic.  I wasn't forcing everyone else to wait for the respawn, I was saving some people from that fate.  Of course, I probably shouldn't have cared so much, seeing as I always played vs. bots...

Everyone in WWII has been replaced with space marines, apparently.

A friend's 7-year-old said the other day that World War 2 was fought between Russians (I think) and Space Marines.  He's actually quite knowledgable about history (what with his dad's historical wargaming), but with the additional 40K influence he'd probably call DF "SquatFortress" if he knew about it.

When he was younger all the similar slips were all in terms of Brutes and Spartans form the Haloverse.

I say Battlefield Vietnam was the best one in the series, and I prove it.
