I remember someone from EA saying that 'you dont beat call of duty by making another call of duty' , and look at these guys now, reducing the sizes of level and making it more linear, more quick time events, is that not call of duty!?
And I was shocked when the producer guy said that open world sandboxes are boring!..

Sandbox FPS are indeed boring, truth be told, Crysis was boring to roam around (not the story).

And.... I don't care about console newbz, PC is getting 64 players and that's enough.

They never said the AI is scripted, it's just the story that's scripted. BF will never be CoD.

^^BF3's producer said in a recent interview that 'sandbox gameplay like the one in BFBC2 are boring, and so BF3's NPC's will be heavily scripted. I ll see if I can find the link for that article, will post it as soon as I find it.

BF3 may never be cod..but its chances are that it will be like cod.
Talking about the three faultline episodes EA released, the only 'mind blowing' thing that was in them was the technology, rest is just another COD. I dont mean that its crap, but the gameplay is a complete COD rip off.

sandboxes are not boring.
Its just that mass market likes games that simple and linear, yet rewarding - the main reason why cod is so popular.

No. Technology IS the key to games. I didn't see any CoD in those vids, the recoil and everything. Destruction is the key to new FPSs, it's just bland to see an FPS w/e destruction. And that ain't a simple thing to code. >CoD is just a rehash of CoD4.

As I said, sandbox FPS are boring. There's nothing much to do other than shoot. So I don't mind SP being scripted. If scripted well, it brings out an epic experience just like ME series.

If someone wants to play a Sandbox in a linear scripted fashion they will find it boring and redundant for sure. The whole crux of a Sandbox is to approach the game in a non linear fashion---non scripted.

Well I like Sandbox type of gameplay because of the variety it offers. I mean you have option to approach a situation with different strategies. In Linear gameplay you just gotta go and shoot although its fun but still like sandbox more than Linear and maybe thats the reason why Far cry, Crysis, Farcry 2 are my favorites rather than COD or HL.

Shyt. I forgot my flamesuit.

Anyway, Battlefield 3 console differences detailed by DICE - for News - VideoGamer.com. Take that console suckas!

@cyborg: I know what you meant. Sandbox offers variety and are not actually boring, but linear games are more, so we tend to like linear games more. And "that's why CoD is so popular". But no. Linear =/= bad or Sandbox =/= ossum. Mix of both and that's orsum. In Crysis 2, only thing is I can't destroy the trees. :x If it's BF3, then it's a whole new talk.
