More PR speak but I like it:

Patrick Bach said:
“Most games are actually still based on the same core idea that the consoles are your focus, the superior platform or something,” he said. “I don’t know why. That was the truth five years ago, but the world has moved on. PCs are way more powerful than the consoles today and there are actually almost zero games out there that actually use the benefits of this.

“So for our target of what we want to hit, we are now using the more powerful platform to try and prove what we see gaming being in the future rather than using the lowest common denominator, instead of developing it for the consoles and then just adding higher resolution textures and anti-aliasing for the PC version. We’re doing it the other way around, we start with the highest-end technology that we can come up with and then scale it back to the consoles.”

Nice to see a company focus on the PC for once. Isn't many games out there that really utilize PC tech anymore. This game and The Witcher 2 have me excited and I'm hoping Crytek delivers a worthwhile DX11 patch soon.

If Microsoft and Sony keeps with their 10-year console plan then PC gaming may continue to be held back by the consoles and that's just really disappointing.

The 12 min vid (PC gameplay) is up on Xbox Live Marketplace in 720p with lovely compression.

lol, they're going to get some Xbox fan's hopes up thinking it's going to look like that on 360.

I love the video.. but I'm not wow'd buy the GFX.. in some parts it looks 360/PS3 quality.. and in others slightly better texture wise.. So my guess is Wii 2 will be able to run this on par with the video?

Look, BC2 isn't completely ideal but it's still the best thing going for FPS right now. (anyone who disagrees with this is a communist and probably born of infidelity)

Then I guess my mother is a whore, comrade.

Btw I still believe that the guy who thought it was a good idea to show the roof sniper bit should be fired, out of a cannon, into the sun.

fucking hell, they still havent gotten their? I can't wait till they spin it as "1million views to get the online gameplay trailer"

Diablo 3's 1 million like Facebook campaign is at about 4-6 months now, so it could be worse.

That said, online gameplay should be at E3, so thankfully they can't gate that one.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
I just looked again at the gifs on the frontpage. I can't believe this. It looks so out of this world.

I can't wait for the actual MP reveal. All of these little tidbits from the Back to Karkand interviews and now the preorder/LE bonuses makes me really curious about how things are going to work. I really want to know how the attachments and ammo types are going to work.

The DAO seems like an early unlock. The others is exclusive, so I guess only for pre-order.

Is this multiplayer? Because I will fucking rage if some idiot has a gun that is better than mine because he pre-ordered from a store that doesn't fucking exist in my country.

Do I actually have to pre-order from somewhere to get all this or is it like BC2 "VIP" and I can just buy it day one from any random big box store?

Pretty sure the DAO-12 is the only one which is an early unlock, it's the only one that says "Day 1 Access".

We are also supposed to be getting BF2 weapons with the Back to Karkand pack so I'm not really surprised that they are offering more.

Funny thing is that, in real life, the military has done a lot of research with flechettes. They found that though they have great armor penetration, their stopping power sucks because they don't open up on impact like bullets do. So they hit, and leave a small trail through a body and go through the body.

What I saw was with assault rifle flechette ammo used as opposed to shotgun... though not sure if shotgun would really work that well.

On Topic: Seems a bit 'meh' to me. I like my pre-order bonuses to be the non-digital kind, but with now MP-heavy this is, I guess it is to be expected.

Going to suck if these are exclusive and better than what other people can get, and knowing how bad DICE are with balancing I'd expect it to be the case.
