Battlefield 2042 Caspian Border vs Battlefield 3 - Direct Comparison! Attention to Detail & Graphics

[@ThatGuy-kc2zb]

This only makes me even more realize how advanced was BF 3, 10 years ago.

[@Pentax67]

Yes ! I remember how I changed my pc just for this game!! Had amd 5970 2Gb , runned at Ultra 60fps+ but MSAA x4 would cause stutters, so only MSAA x2 was smooth .. ( needed 3Gb vram) . Upgraded to AMD MSI lightning 7970 3Gb , runned at 70-80fps. Then added 2nd 7970 MSI … then 3rd and 4th for 4K. Bf3 is so advanced. But right now with my RTX 3070 I run 200fps haha, it’s locked at 200 fps so I guess it goes maybe a lot more with modern GPU

[@MadBrodus]

@@Pentax67 you can remove the limit and set it as you like, personally on BF3/4 I put 500 fps with a 8700k (delid 5.3ghz) and a gtx 1080 ti in 1080p at minimum I was doing 450/500, now with a 5800x and a 3080ti in 1440p at minimum I go to 500 but on BF2077 I go to 160 fps with everything at a minimum in 1440p

It's not high contrast, the shadows have crushed look because of the lack of indirect lighting imitation, primitive shadowing techniques and heavy color grading. The new game looks more physically correct, maybe the color grading is slightly different.

BF3 is better because of lighting. It cleverly uses simple dark and light contrasts to show depth and realism, even though the graphics are limited. Where I find BF2042 by default the graphics are awesome but the lighting is flat and lack of depth. You should try another comparison but modify the BF2042 brightness, contrast , and colour to match BF3. Bet you it will look better

[@williamvanderscheer4327]

I really like bf3's lighting too, always thought bf4 was a massive downgrade in that sense, bf1 and bf5 were not much better. Honestly I was so dissapointed when bf4 came out, even though the detail were better, something about the lighting just didnt feel right to me. However its also very much a personal thing, many people disagreed with me heavily. BF2042 went back to the more cold blueish bf3 lighting a little instead of the warm orange, which I really like but the colors seem a bit oversaturated sometimes, the green is too green. Its honestly a little too pretty to be realistic, well in my opinion.

This is sort of it, bf2042 looks great, but a bit too great, its perfect but that makes it feel less gritty and dirty at time. Though to me the main issue is that the green are a bit oversaturated, it kind of feels like the trees are straight out of a fairytale sometimes.

The lack of detail and flat shading isn’t great. The fact that BF3 looks better in most aspects while still being able to run great on nearly anything makes me question what they’re doing.

I hope they do a remaster or re-release of BF3. So many great memories

[@djtc2093]

Considering it's 2021 BF2042 looks like a mobile game . A massive downgrade in visuals and effects from previous titles, it's not even debatable . The "improvement" in 10 years is basically unnoticeable. 2042 has this terrible hazey/blurry/ washed out look which takes away from immersion so much!

[@Dragoneer]

I also hate how they’ve replaced even the Arabic writing on the transport containers with English words, it’s small details like that which really take away from the immersion. Not to mention hearing women screaming left right and center but I guess the community is used to that by now :/

[@ESCAcarlos]

it is an improvement of course, but does it seem that these games are 10 years appart?

[@AlexGreen1991]

Obviously 2042 looks better in most scenarious (not in all - water looks much worse for example), but it's insane how good BF3 looks compared to 2042. They really did a bad job on 2042 :D

[@trevorallen2671]

Is it just me or is the sound much better in BF3 compared to BF2042?

[@rambo-cambo3581]

You'd be wrong 2042 takes most of its sound from BFV and BFV had one of the most comprehensive sound projects of any game you can think of As in they recorded real gunfire and real explosives both at different ranges, and in different environments for a comprehensive and realistic sound base The BF3 sound effects are unrealistic like CoD sound effects. Simulated gunfire and audio trickery, sounds more like an old movie than a battle Besides, what portal sounds they haven't found a better sound effect for theyve kept the old ones - so no i really don't see why or how you could think BF3 original sounds better than 2042 It's worth pointing out that the 2042 audio is broken along with a few other things right now

[@trevorallen2671]

@@rambo-cambo3581 makes sense, but at least the foot audio worked. I just hope they don’t take long to fix that and the many other bugs in the game cuz the game is rly fun without the bugs

[@JaellsGaming]

Ok nobody gonna talk about how Battlefield 3 even had FLOWERS?? Not even 2042 got that

[@matthewbrown7659]

I know this is a tiny detail compared to the rest of it and not actually that important, but I really appreciated the tactical shotgun reloads in BF3. I remember seeing a competition shooter emptying the tube, then rapidly firing off a couple of single rounds by loading them through the ejection port like that... then a few months later seeing that in BF3 blew my mind and made me appreciate that they had some gun nerds there for a while who enjoyed putting in those kinds of things.

[@FurBurger151]

Servers are dead on Console.

[@detectiveharris8772]

BF console players love to harp about BF3 and BC2 as greats but never have the balls to actually stick with these titles and not tolerate the massive bullshit EA has been OPENLY doing since BF4. BC2 very low population on xbox and as for BF3 its dead. Shame cause the maps are so fucking good. Better than the shit thats been coming out since 4.

[@redtra236]

PC still has a decent amount of players, but good luck playing any game mode other than conquest large or rush. DLC content is kind of dead too but some servers run DLC maps. Premium is usually bundled with the game now adays so they aren't completely dead.

[@invoker7826]

Destruction in BFBC2 was something else. I loved BF3 but when I played it a decade ago, I always wished we had BFBC2 level destruction in the game.

[@moosebmx97]

Why does the handgun look like a toy in bf 2042? Also the revolver in 2042 looks incredibly weird, I'm surprised people aren't appalled by it. Every revolver ever in battlefield looks miles better than the one in 2042

[@mhazg6621]

Cuz the reload is realistic. It opens the bullet cylinder, takes out the unspent bullets, then the spent bullets, and finally the player inserts new bullets. Pretty cool cuz it's 3 stages, while other games got only 2

[@darthmalicos9973]

Tbh i really like that they replaced the AH-Z1 by the AH-64 Apache, not like the original but I was tired of having the same heli in BF3 and BF4

[@GrabbaBeer]

They should have given both options on 2042. I personally like the ahz1 better because of the POV.

[@skylosfoxtrot2350]

Kinda odd seeing a Army Helicopter when your team is suppose to be Marines. Plus Viper has a way better field of view.

[@Mac-nw3uc]

@@GrabbaBeer EA ran into licensing problems with Bell helicopters for using their helicopters without their permission so DICE had to sacrifice the viper and venom and replace it with the Apache and Blackhawk

[@ncs9667]

It is crazy how well BF3 holds up. If you compare BF3 (2011) to 2042 (2021) there is a difference but it isn't noticeable at a glance. Then you compare BF3 to BF2 and the difference is extremely obvious. And they are only 6 years apart. If you compare BF3 to BF 1942 (2002 - 9 years apart) the difference is even more extreme. Bad Company 1 and 2 also hold up reasonably well too. They really turned a corner with the Frostbite engine.
