Damn, I remember posting on this board about my hopes for BF3 2 years ago. I had it formatted nicely and it was a length post. I barely remember any of it.

I'm hoping for decent sized maps with 32 (max) bots on either team. Like the PC. Anything higher is welcome though.
I think I posted it in the first SWBF3 Wishlist. Which is stickied so why does this thread even exist?

Found it!

Awards?
Ok, not sure if this has already been mentioned but...
Why will BF2 not let me turn off my damned rifle award???? I know that when you spawn you start with a regular rifle but with every class of trooper I use the blaster pistol often. I just recently got it Legendary (I hadn't before because I refused to save the game because I knew this would happen) and I like the regular rifle MORE!

If they make a third installment I would love the ability to turn Legendary awards off. Or I suppose it could let you carry around both the award weapon as well as your troopers regular class of weapon, that would be pretty cool.

Also, that damned noise you get with either War Hero, Endurance or Guardian drives me CRAZY!

Just thought I'd say this - The only award I seem to like is the shotgun, that doesn't drastically change the weapons use, and its hardly noticeable. I dislike most of the BF2 award weapons just for the fact that a lot of them aren't that good.

Beam Sniper - Not as effective as a regular sniper.

Award Rifle - Just don't like it's 3 shot bursts.

Flechette Shotgun - I like this one because the only change I notice is a power increase.

Remote Rocket - Terrible award, not effective compared to a regular rocket launcher.

Award Pistol - Just isn't the same as a regular pistol, feels more like a medium to long range weapon, which a pistol is NOT.
If i forgot one, tell me, I can't think atm, as it's 6:05 am were I live.

Reinforcement Issues
I also dislike how if you have 1 reinforcement left you are not the last one left on the Battlefield, I think you should count as that last reinforcement, instead of some dumb suicidal bazooka AI guy. Its so annoying to see they have 1 guy left and you have 1 guy, he runs past you and into the beam thing on the Death Star level making you fall in Defeat. I'm sorry, but I really want that changed in the next Battlefront.

VibroWeapons
Small Improvement: Give all units (or some) a melee weapon such as a vibrosword or a vibroblade/dagger. It would really improve the game play when confronted by an enemy up close.

Unimaginable Deaths/Environments
Also drop the cartoony looks? A clone trooper's white amour doesn't stay white with explosions raging about. And what is it with the indestructible environment?? A little bolder doesn't stay were it is when it's blasted by a rocket launcher! Also, maybe a little grittier environments? Everything looks so... clean? It's annoying to shoot at the ground and watch it absorb the blast. I would like... maybe some dust particles to fly up.

AND the scripted deaths get on my nerves, make it a little more rag doll? At least then you wont see the same *turn around and fall on your face* death.

Were are my Levels?!?
Bah another thing: (and i know it's been said) What happened to all my favorite levels?
List of levels I want back!
Bespin Platforms
Cloud City
Kashyyyk Docks
Tatooine Dune Sea
Yavin Arena (not sure about that ones name, I would check, but Xbox is busted, and I have it for that system L)


The AI…
And the most obvious thing, can't believe I missed this...
Better AI please? Maybe let them fix ammo/health droids? I mean, in all my times of playing I really never saw a wounded Storm… enemy run over to the health and ammo droids to get health and ammo. Also, I haven’t really notice them enemy engineers giving out health to their allies. However they are usually dead by the time I have gotten a good look at em (H). And, I don’t see many usefull grenadiers. They always throw grenades into the middle of a skirmish of 5 of their own men and 1 of the enemy. I have been one of those five blown high into the air. >.>

Snipers Ftw
Could they maybe give more areas were snipers will excel? I mean in BF1 almost every level were you could get decent snipes, in this one, if you wanna snipe, your confined to a few levels. Oh yeah! Give us back the ability to go prone? Why was that taken out anyway?

Eh, I know this seems a bit much, but the wait time between each sniper shot is a tad much for me... I have always liked to "no scope" enemies. However, the speed of the sniper is a bit too slow to do this...

Career Stat Ideas
Ok here goes, you know how you have your career stats? Well, wouldn't it be awesome to see your accuracy, amount of kills with each faction, trooper type, weapon, and so on?
I would! Ooh, amount of headshots you have gotten? That would be amazing! That I would like in the future installment of battlefront.
