Bf3 voicelines are so satisfying to hear, what an amazing game that was

[@loweni7460]

Bad Company 2s voice lines were even better and the classes had separate distinct voice instead of sharing the same one

[@franka6680]

Bf3 was really made to last. The animations stand up pretty well even for today's standards. May have some funny ones like the RPG just dropping down when you fire or the LMG reloading isn't exactly realistic. But, the lighting, the particle affects and even character models and movements are still top notch. Bf2042 has some work to do. It looks great but like someone said in the comments, it's rushed. If they were to just take a look at bf3 and update 2042 with some of its physics and animations, the new bf can be a superb game. The guns look like bb guns with blanks firing out them. Bf3 has a nasty recoil, blur affects and that sound design is nice too. Bf2042 needs work. They could've grabbed the guy's from bf3 and bf1 to make the environments, atmosphere and maps and have the bf4 guys do epic levelution moments. And have real vets talk about and analyze recoil and sound design. It would've made for a pretty cool game if they only took the time.

I only noticed it when I saw the customization menus in bf4. However, I did always wonder why you couldn't see the mag on the gun in 1st person view, I just thought that every game that modeled the an94 just coincidentally had this oversight, when in fact it was modelled correctly 😂

One detail I noticed is that the helmet is different in the russian assault, the original used a mich 2000 but in portal it is more of a russian helmet like the bad company 2 assault (with the difference that battlefield 3 uses a mount nvg). Likewise, the Russian portal support has pants with gen 3 knee pads, whereas in the original game they were just very typical and common military knee pads.

[@kuzidas4213]

I gotta say, while there are a lot of steps back in 2042 and I like to shit on that game as much as the next guy, I gotta give credit where it's due--the third person reloads sync up excellently with the first person ones and that's really nice. Since the animations didn't line up in BF3 it was common to see someone firing his gun already while it appeared like he was still reloading his weapon.

[@melcorchancla9431]

Because they used mocap for 3rd person animations

[@cptsoupcan5699]

The problem I see with 2042's animations is that they are the same in both 1st and 3rd person. It may look decent in the latter view since you wouldn't be focusing that much on other soldier animations while playing the game, but it looks vary stiff and robotic in 1st POV. BF3's separate animations make it look more refurbished and immersive, having more detailed animations from the player's perspective while the one's with slightly less effort are seen by other players (which as I stated before isn't as big of a deal).

[@melcorchancla9431]

BF2042 has both 1st person and 3rd person animations made in mocap.
In all out war, the first person animations were remade at 90% by hand by Oskar, dice’s animator for BF1, V and 2042 before leaving 3 months ago.
In portal, the first person animations were remade by ripple effect, a small LA studio already working on multiple projects

[@qui-gonsgin8747]

They dont only feel and play better, they're in fact just better in nearly every aspect. Hell, these new devolopers at dice really fucked it up with 2042. Sadly, It seems like there is nothing of the old Dice left and THIS is what the battlefield Franchise has become now.

The guns in portal also don’t have vertical recoil. It’s really pathetic.
