Ya! I'm really getting sick of these assisted fps's... where your lead along like a dog on a leash. From this video, BF3 appears to be another one of these games. I understand gamers want better grafx & stuff... but some of us like the incredible freedom & options available in fps's like bf42. fps's seem to be going back to the whole doom stile levels... no more wide open area free to roam around. Of course, i could be totally wrong about bf3..... it just looks like an assisted fps like call of duty black ops in this vid.
well what i mean by assisted... my terminology... is a game like call of duty black ops. and ya single player. where there is 1 way & only one way through the game. u are required to climb ladders, pickup weapons & mount vehicles, otherwise the game will not progress. for instance you can't shoot down a helo with a machine gun... you are required to pickup a surface-to-air launcher. you have to climb ladders, which it then startes an animated sequence which you have no control over... you can't just jump off the ladder or find another route. your allied ai helps you out so much... all you have to do is feed them targets cause they have "god mode" & "unlimited ammo". i find more & more fps's are going this way. maybe i should refer to these games as "scripted fps". run down this tunnel, kill this guy, turn corner, open door.... its like being led through a scripted story & you get to press a few buttons here & there.... kinda like "Dragon's Lair"... booooring!!! why can't more fps be like my favorite game series "Hitman"... i can "walk" all the way through a level with only killing my intended target.... or i can kill every living soul.... there's a gazillion ways to beat a level... just like bf1942. i guessing this game is going to end up like the "bad company" series.... all scripted & shit!!!!
