do you think there will be tanks in Battlefield 3? What's your favorite class?

Hahahaha.

;_;

 

[LordCanti]

That's what they were asking, he's not asking.

Oh, lol.

"MAH MAN! WAITED IN LINE FOR HOURS TO PLAY BF3! HOW YOU FEEL BOUT ME BOTHERIN YO ASS RIGHT NAO?!"

 

[SirButterstick]

Woah . . . I just noticed what looked like mobile AA at 1:12 in the video. A Gadfly, if I believe, drawing from my memory of playing Gunship! and Gunship! 2000

 

[Keasar]

Oh, lol.

[JaskoX1]

if the aircraft and helicopter flying controls are anything like GTA IV's then I'm okey.

in 1943' I was a pro at flying, kb/m seems hard, like in arma 2

kb/m takes a lot more getting used to. Once you've got it down though, it is good enough.

I'm seriously considering a joystick right now, after my tenth time watching the trailer.

 

[belvedere]

Some aircraft carrier love would be much appreciated.

Some sinkable Frostbite 2 aircraft carrier love would be even better.

 

[JaskoX1]

can't go back to a controller. just for flying, bitch in games I've played.

 

[hypernima]

tempted to give in to the origin machine and buy this game, ah well.

[Nostalgia~4ever]

graphics is really fantastic, triumphs everything released so far since you have to account all the shit that is going down. Impressive.

 

[demolitio]

Holy shit. Just read the info sheets and realized they included SOFLAM--Special Operations Forces Laser Marker.

Awesome. Do you remember the very first BF2 demonstration that showed the laser marker and then the jet came in and blew the bridge to shit? I was so mad when that was gone at release, but we actually replicated it quite well for our BF2 mod. One of the classes had a laser designator and could paint a tank while the A-10 and the 50 other jets we had could lock on to that with certain bombs/missiles. We also had IR gear that could be thrown and would mark an area as well. It was my favorite mod I ever worked on that never took off even though it was by far the biggest mod in terms of items. At least there's still a lot of stuff from the mod in PR...

The EOD bot is fucking awesome as well even though I'm not sure how it will work out. Probably like the UAV from BC2 but I wonder what it's good for besides taking out mines...?

Having an Iranian assault rifle is kind of cool and very unique from every other game out there. That's why I wasn't ruling out early Soviet gear for vehicles in SP.

I'm with some of you guys though. I want to see the return of some naval skirmishes but at the very least, the return of aircraft carriers to start off from. Naval battles like BF1942 are greatly missed since that was like a whole other map out in the deep seas chasing after the enemy carrier in a destroyer. I asked them if naval battles will ever return and didn't get an answer of course.

 

[Kyaw]

No jets in BF3, flying tanks confirmed:

Look at the minimap

 

[dLMN8R]

I can't fucking believe that still today people complain about screen tearing in compressed online streams that run at a different frame rate of the base footage, as if that's at all representative of the game itself.

You'd think that if you understood graphics technology enough to understand what screen tearing was in the first place, you'd understand how bitching about it in a compressed online stream is hilarious.

Hahaha the two guys he's talking to are my colleagues.

I want to be the one to set the forest ablaze in that picture. Those jets look so damn pretty...

 

[3N16MA]

No jets in BF3, flying tanks confirmed:

Look at the minimap

I think it actually confirms that jets transform into tanks mid-flight.

 

[Majanew]

No 360 footage yet?

 

[Keasar]

Look at the minimap.

So I wasnt the only one thinking it seemed really odd.

 

[Sethos]

Only thing that annoys me about jets is that your face is all up in the HUD, let me move it back a little.

 

[cool_dude_2049]

Jesus I hadn't been looking at BF3 stuff in a while and this trailer got my hyped. I've played a lot of BC2 and this will be a much needed transition.

 

[Kyaw]

It would be kinda realistic but seeing as this is no sim (probably half working gauges), i would want to be in 'combat' view at all times.

I cannot wait for the beta... and the imminent press failures at trying to fly on Thursday.

Also from the latest interview, you can spawn on any squad members now.

Aaaw, then what good are squad leaders?
Please dont tell me they are removing them.

 

[Sethos]

I really wouldn't, it makes no sense and it kills the flying experience completely when your FOV is that narrow.

 

[Kyaw]

Interview here: http://www.gaminglives.com/2011/08/...-with-karl-magnus-troedsson-on-battlefield-3/

Squad leaders can issue orders apparently.

I don't really mind either way. From the story trailers, the cockpit seems to be further back than the jets in this trailer.

Very cool. I really hope they implement points into the accessories. Would be nice to laze a target and get points if it's destroyed by a friendly plane.

 

[demolitio]

Holy shit! I didn't even notice the 60mm mortar on that list. That brings back a lot of good BF memories. Maybe the AH-6 can be my FO for me and tell me exactly where the shells were dropping and what changes to make. I can see a lot of teamwork moments for my friends.

 

[Sethos]

They need to implement some of this

So I wasnt the only one thinking it seemed really odd.

I'm missing it, what's odd about it?

 

[Kyaw]

I'm missing it, what's odd about it?

In the minimap the jets show up as tank icons.

 

[SensualSeduction]

Why are there 2 P90's in the game ?

The P90TR is just a P90 with a silencer and upper rail..

 

[The_Squirrel_Menace]

Fuck.

After watching this new trailer I can testify that I'm pumped to the max. Here's hoping we get info on when does the open beta for all platform start in september.

So close, yet so far.
