I dabbled in the game a very little, but it really wasn't my sort of thing, too many long range engagements.
I'm sure you'll find a few lads on here to play with though ^_^

Yeah I should probably also mention I was playing it at around 45fps on all low and 90% resolution reducer thingy.
for me the framerate was the same on max and lowest settings.
i even set the render limit to 100 meters, couldnt see shit, framerate didn't change.

yeah i know it does run pretty badly on bulldozer i get about 23 fps on medium specs, i havnt messed about with the render distance or anything to be honest.it is very single threaded biased tho from what i know. i dont have battlefield 3 for pc had it on the gaybox, and i cant really justify buying it when bf4 is out in october.i really like my fps games to be honest but the only other one i have is farcry3

Meh, Until BF4 nothing's gona take me away from cod4 promod.
we should play some together. even though i am rather terrible at it.
add me on XF, same name.
there is a huuuuge difference between cod and promod. also BF is becoming more and more like the new cods unfortunately, their business models are very much alike.

what is the difference? i think cod and battlefield are totally different for play styles myself

I disagree that BF is like COD. Whilst the close quarters expansion was clearly for the COD arcade style players, the rest of the expansions have kept to battlefields large open maps and use of vehicles. In cod it's all run and gun (can't speak for promod) whereas battlefield you have to use cover and prone etc.

Yep, I play PS2. I only have a Vanu character though.
I've not been playing it much lately though. Nothing to do with the game it's self, the devs have done a great job and made a lot of changes. The game is a lot different now compared to how it used to be, lots of improvements have been made.
At the moment i'm bored of FPS games, i'm currently playing Dark Souls. Awesome game, but incredibly hard.

i was talking about the business model, not the gameplay.
i have been playing both franchises since they exist and sadly i've seen them reach their quality peak and then their fall.
imo BF3 is the MW2 of the BF franchise, what's going to follow now will be awful. in a few years BF players will have the same reputation as CoD players, those little stupid kids who don't know shit about gaming.
and us oldschool players will have to sit there in shame, whenever i mention that i am a cod player people start talking smack about that the franchise is for kids, completely easy and every year the same (i really wonder why they don't see the irony in that with BF3/4 and the DLC garbage, also BF players aren't any better than new CoD players, it's all a bunch of pubstars who would get their ass handed in games like quake, cs 1.6 or promod. i even like the new BF community less than the new CoD community, at least CoD players don't talk smack about BF and the whole 12 year old screaming haxx thing happens way more often in BF than in CoD), the greatness of CoD4 is already forgotten, because cod is nothing alike what it used to be. same applies for BF.
@tripp the gameplay is completely different, in a way you could say that promod feels a bit like CS. if i would mention that on a promod forum they would rape me for it though
@willSK the whole ermahgerd so tacticul PTFO PTFO garbage doesn't work anymore for BF, i ran around in BF3 like i ran around in MW3 and i was successful with it in both. running and gunning always works when you play against terrible players.

I agree with you to some aspect that the business model is sadly following that of CoD with what we can now expect is a new battlefield every bloody year. However I still don't think BF3 is much lesser of a game than BF2 was. the community was prob etter previously but despite the loss of the commander system i still think bf3 improved upon the formula. As i said though i completely agree with you that BF is unfortunately likely to follow in the steps of COD 
and as long as EA is in charge that won't change. i talk to people who play BF3 and they never heard of quake, they think mods only exist for minecraft etc., the new generation of gamers is rotten.I agree with you to some aspect that the business model is sadly following that of CoD with what we can now expect is a new battlefield every bloody year.

BF3 was definitely no improvement. the destruction model in BC2 was better (even though i am not a fan of destruction at all), the graphics look nice, but they ruin the gameplay and i most certainly dont play a multiplayer fps for the graphics, weapons are either OP as f*ck or completely unusable, DLC weapons are usually better than vanilla weapons, the patch support is a joke (3 months to fix the heavy barrel m26 dart bug, that could have been fixed in less than 24 hours), they ban people for modifying the game under the pretext of that they had a certain idea of how the game should look and that they don't want that to change, but really they just dont want people to be aware of how modable the engine is so they dont ask for mod support, and of course the worst community i can think of.
no freakin way i will give a shit about any future games published by EA.
It's really sad that a bunch of kids who are impressed by shaders are the majority of gamers and because of them we get flooded with crappy games. the last fps i really loved released in 2010, which was BC2 and it's the only game i ever really liked that has no mod support, before that it was 2007 (cod4) and before that 1999 (Q3). sad times.
well, rise of the triad will release soon, and even though the movement will probably be rather lame it might be some fun. i wont compare it to quake though, more to UT maybe.
/edit
i really need to stop with the topic BF3. i have been ranting about that for too long, but every mind i open up with this discussion is a win.

WOW is this cod vs bf argument still going on? I thought this was a planetside thread.......
Anyhow. Planetside 2 does have issues but what it tries to achieve and nearly achieves is incredible. Just go on at peak time and there are no 'long range engagements'. Join a platoon with lots of members and then write back here with your experiences. Remember that PS2 is FREE!?!?!?!
Can you tell that I like this game?

it's not the cod vs bf argument.
we were talking about the similarities. for me it doesn't matter which of those i play, both are terrible and used to be good.
