    The tank mission footage is bloody excellent.

    I cannot wait for this game.

    This is BF3 not BFBC3. The less like bad company it is, the better.

    At least for PC gamers anyway, BC is the diet coke of battlefield and that's putting it nicely. However something like BF2 would never work on a console and since this is coming out on everything we all know its never gonna be same.

    Something exactly like BF2 can be done on current consoles. Look at MAG on the PS3, yeah the game is not great but it shows how a PC online shooter like BF2 can be ported to consoles. The problem is the cash cow is calling.

    Infinite sprint??? FFS. I was hoping BC2 was the last we'd see of that.

    Fairy - CTF??? I assume that was a joke!

    I presume BF3's ranked servers for PC multiplayer will be limited to certain providers, anyone know any different??

    Maybe it's to help balance infantry against jets.

    In the Paris multiplayer clip did it look like the player countered a melee attack?

    From Ars's preview:
    The engineer is still a powerful weapon against vehicles, but he can now also equip a flashlight on his gun, temporarily blinding enemy soldiers in dark environments.

    thank christ for that...BF2142 had the classes perfectly, they were crap in BC2 really...


    Also one of the dev team mentioned he was off to test fire Sig P226 and MP5 at the local police range…

    Any idea if that was SP or MP they were playing? I'd imagine they'd have auto regen for SP but please god not for MP. Don't care about knife being hot keyed personally.

    The demo was MP rush on normal mode.
    No health regen in hardcore but seems to be in normal mode. Doesn't regenerate if your under fire so you have to hide away from the action to get health regen.
    At least kill cams are gone

    Its all here

    I've read here and there that bfbc2 was not really like a proper battlefield game :confused:

    What exactly was it missing? or what was in it that shouldn't have been ?

    why would you not want a killcam :confused:

    the way the player moved was off to me,
    getting stuck on objects on the map,
    the vehicle handling was brutal,
    matrix knife,
    regen health,
    tiny maps,
    four classes,
    no commander
    no prone

    all in all it just didn't have that special Battlefield mojo
    BlastedGlute wrote: »
    No prone, bad maps, weird choppers, worse than normal hit boxes(imo) and just generally didnt feel as good as BF2.

    ^this pretty much. Also being able to spawn on any squad member made things a little cluster****y. Seems like that's returning in BF3 as well :/

    It had none of the scale, tiny linear maps, only 32 players, slightly odd classes, reduced vehicles, no jets at all, only a token command system, no commander at all, simplistic knifing, no arty, no UAV's etc etc.

    I'm not sure I like the new 'suppression' system they are talking about. That could be turn out to be really annoying.

    The no commo rose is annoying me nearly more than the lack of commander.

    No being able to simply say 'thanks' or state you've spotted something without relying on the stupid spot system.

    Call for a medic, engineer, ammo etc without having to 'spot' the necessary serviceman. Grr....

    Call of Battlefield Company.

    CoB.

    Got a source? That's the first semi solid date I've seen for it.

    Real people playing, and even Steven Spielberg is there to approve. It's hard to see much, but it's not the canned footage for public display. There's no sign of a killcam when someone dies I note.
