It's one thing to have volumetric smoke, it's another to have it be affected by physics.
For the record, BC2 had volumetric smoke.

In the part where the tanks are rolling up to the base the A-10 warthogs fly over and do a run with their GAU on the target. There is already something burning and you can see the smoke plume around their jet wake as they fly past, I'm sure of it.Metalmurphy said:

I love it how people dismiss Bad Company 2 without giving it a fair shake.
I've been playing Battlefield back before it was called Battlefield(Codename Eagle) -- and I thoroughly enjoyed both Bad Company 1 on the 360 and Bad Company 2 on the PC.

October is way too far away.
I have zero doubt that there will be an in-game server browser. Even if there weren't, Battlelog is one of the fastest server browsers that I've ever used.petethepanda said:
I've played tons of Bad Company 1 and 2. By "non-gimped version" I meant I only played the PC version, where I'm saying that I have never really had a problem with teammates.luciddefender said:

For those of you who both played the BF3 alpha and played a lot of BFBC2, did the BF3 damage model sit somewhere between BFBC2 normal and BFBC2 hardcore/vietnam, or was it roughly the same as the latter?

That's a shame actually. I love the damage model of hardcore in BFBC2, it's just everything else about hardcore that I hatemr_nothin said:

I don't see how. The rest of the map is designed to be destructible. Those vents will make people fish in a barrel. Being able to bypass that help the attackers who are already at tremendous disadvantage in that area plus it's not like you can just tunnel through an environment. The C4 seems to only let you go one "world unit" deep when it carves a depression. Breaking a wall open seems right in line with BF3's design to me.
I doubt that they could support that because it would require the physics engine to take account of all gravity stresses on buildings above and below ground. That would take an awful lot of processing power just for the engine to make certain that a building or tunnel could remain standing.Aselith said:

Reminds me of people claiming this about gt5, how some gif showed what looked like physics for volumetric smoke making it sweep over the car along it's lines etc etc.
You'd need a dedicated high end card just for physx to do this btw, so no ,it won't be in the game, if it is it still won't be nearly as elaborate as you claim, and 99 percent of people won't be able to use it.
Mafia 2 had a very basic version of it, and it butchered the framerate.
Stuff as fancy as what you claim (like the scripted non physics swirl in killzone 2 when the pod flies over) would need to have individual particles affected, just not gona happen for a few years.
