[@The_GenXennial]

Back when battlefield had a great story and multiplayer. The good old days for sure.

[@krashd]

I would love to see Bad Company 3, the only times DICE made single-player games with added multiplayer rather than the other way around and both times they hit the mark. I wish EA would put aside the quest for endless wealth and for once do something for the fans rather than the shareholders, but I won't hold my breath.

The good days for BF was before BF3 for sure, the older games where bigger, better and had mod support.

Exactly

[@xM4XvPA1Nx]

Agreed 100 percent. Although I might be biased because it was my first battlefield game it seems as though the graphics were a jump from BFBC2 and it was the first game I had played nonstop to completion.

[@notDreadful]

@@xM4XvPA1Nx Same here. My first BF game to actually play it non-stop. After I left PS3 I still played it on PC. But for example BFBC2, BF4, BF1 AND even BFH which many people didn't even try, are all amazing games imho. I only really felt that BFV was subpar and BF2042 as of right now it's an OK game. But wouldn't call it a BF game.

@@mcgarnacle21 Sadly not with 2042. If you compare it to its predecessors, even BF5, the sound design is much worst. This is to be expected though, as there are no longer any developers on the DICE team who have worked with previous titles past BF5. The entire team behind sound design is completely different and those who were left after BF1 left the studio once they finished their work on BF5.

[@Pilot231]

So would it still be hard to launch aircraft in that kind of weather? If I recall, a ship that covers more surface area of the sea is more likely to be affected by waves. I'd figured the sheer weight of an Aircraft Carrier (including a modern one) wouldn't be as affected as say a Destroyer would.

[@edust83]

what about the technicians right next to the plane when it takes off? is that accurate?

[@gabsforsberg]

I never noticed that! indeed its weird how stable it is.

[@lightningsheep1]

​@@edust83 No they would be far far away. Some more inaccuracies I noticed below. TL;DR: Its a game, this is a good mission, the pilot did not pass flight school, you are a terrible radar operator, and that SU-27 doesn't have wings anymore. Problems with the plane: 1. The hornet wouldn't be on the catapult without the pilot in it. 2. There should be a heat shield behind the aircraft. 3. The JHMCS HMD (Helmet Mounted Display) is so wrong. 4. When they get shot at from ahead by those two planes (I think their SU-27s) you should be damaged because it shook the camera when the bullets went past which wouldn't happen unless they hit the plane the SU-27 is equipped with a 30mm GSh-301 which would absolutely shred a plane that it hits. 5. Why didn't the radar detect those 2 SU-27s the F/A-18D (I'm just assuming its the D variant because the only other two seater F/A-18 was only ever used as a training aircraft) is capable of doing it so clearly you are a terrible radar operator. 6. This one isn't an issue with the F/A-18D more with the SU-27 at 5:49 it does a cobra maneuver which I have some issues with, the SU-27 can do a cobra but not like that its wings would be gone. 7. The other F/A-18Ds landing gear just disappeared during the carrier launch. Problems with the flying: 1. When you takeoff from the catapult you pull up you don't fly straight. 2. when they were climbing they went at around an 80 degree angle which is a terrible idea I mean sure the hornet can do it but its unnecessarily risky..

Battlefield 3 is still imo the best game of the saga to this day, better than BF4. I played hundreds of hours in multiplayer. The games were so fun, the dlcs were really worth and changed the dynamic enough to be entertaining but still make it feel different from other shooters. I really miss it and wish we had a good Battlefield today

[@ContentThatMakesMeContent]

The voice acting was crazy good, as the enemy jets are locking onto you, you can hear him nervously gasping and panting for air trying to keep his composure

[@imirazuke3516]

Is not exactly "trying to make composure". Fighter pilots (or acrobatic pilots) use breathing techniques to minimize the G-Force effects over their bodies. This technique combined with the G-suit effects, manages to keep them awake even on the sharpest turns during a dogfight. You really don't wanna have a G-LOC (Faint) during a situation like this.

It's hilarious that this game is literally a decade old yet is still in many aspects the benchmark for modern cinematic game design. Yes it's on-rails so they get away with certain things they wouldn't have to grapple with in a mission with full control, but even so. The developers should be immensely proud of what they created here. It really makes me sad to think what became of the Battlefield series.

Saw a lot of instances where things were rushed, that if taken in good time, would've been amazing. Unfortunately, game developers can't do something as simple as a KZbin search to see how FA-18s take off from a carrier. I know it's a game, but just adding a bit of time to the overall sequence makes all the difference. Also, the dogfighting scene was just too close. At no time would an aircraft launch a missile while being that close to you. It seems boring but having a more realistic distance in the dogfight gives more realism than developers would think. A dogfight like this is just meh.

[@komandorbentus2731]

There are far more critical terrible mistakes in the whole scene, but who cares to hire experts and learn about basics of modern jets combat & procedures. Basically mission ends at 5:09 when they should be dead if we exclude fox-2 and fox-3 class missiles. Watching it further is just pure pain. This crew just dies in reality every damn 5 seconds.

@@komandorbentus2731 Yeah it's a bit cringe. I just couldn't make it far enough to get critical with the dogfights.

Nobody leaves the canopy open with afterburners on while on the catapult. 5. The oxygen mask is attached to your suit, the one seen is an air force thing. 6. The WSO doesn't do everything they did. (Flaps check, weapons check, etc) 7. The shooter that was sending them off would have been atomized by the other Hornet's engine. 8. WSOs don't have a stick! 9. How does Hawkins turn her head 360 degrees? 10. Helmet HUD is inaccurate 11. WSOs don't salute the shooters. 12. More then half of the terms they used were gibberish. 13. Who is the flight lead? If we weren't, the flight lead doesn't form up us we form up on them. 14. Why did they circle a 180 back to the carrier? 15. No one says how copy unless you really don't copy. 16.
