Jets look fucking insane.
Any word on if we can use KB/M for infantry and joypad (360 pad) for vehicles yet? I still suck at flying in BC2 using KB/M, ha.

I'm going to post this again after all this talk about getting 60fps on an 580:
Does anyone else not really need 60fps? I have a pretty average build, but I'd rather have all the bells and whistles on and get 40fps than turn it down to medium and get 60fps.
For me, the difference in fps (from 40 to 60) is less noticeable than the increase in graphical fidelity.

I'd much rather have 60FPS in a competitive multiplayer environment. Can live with 40-50 in Single-Player but multiplayer definitely needs 60, I will be turning down settings for that and hopefully crank up settings for single-player.
I hope it's possible to set it separately.
When I'm being shot at, hiding behind walls, my screen exploding and I'm pumped I rarely notice the extra AF or the tiny bit smoother edges.

How do jets resupply at the Gamescom demo? Is it the classic "flyby over the airfield to resupply"?

( Sorry if he already confirmed it, haven't seen it then )
Ooh, nice. Looks like I will be platinuming some RPK; promised it 1,000 more kills in a game where it isn't subpar after I shamefully gave up it's top spot on my Combat Record to an automatic AR.

WAT????? Seriously? ô_OSethos said:
How is Dice even going to balance that?
Edit> was it a Gamescom "for demo purpose only" setting?

Would like to see some footage of the chopper. Preferably someone being able to land it on a crane (or some other tricky landing area). ;-) Managed to do this in BF2 and felt like I was a chopper king! Seriously, the handling of the jet and choppers in BF2 was well done, once you learnt how to use them. Cant wait to try them out in BF3!
And I hope my 6970 will be enough to run it in hig res at a decent frame rate.

I think you're in the way minority though since I'm pretty sure for most of us, 1080p and 60fps will be completely fine. If I can get my computer to run what I saw in the Casbian Border trailer at 1080p plus 60fps, then I'm a happy camper and I'll have no complaints whatsoever.

I'm not really digging the jet crash. With all of Dice's experience with terrain deformation, that jet crash should at least leave a crater.
Aside from that, an idea just popped into my mind. I'd love a gamemode at which just one player from each time gets to fly the jets (based on flying skill/ exp) and dogfight, while the rest fights on the ground. The objective of the game beeing to take down the enemy jet and retrieve the blackbox. The air unit would dogfight, the ground units would capture AA guns, conquest style.

Dice balanced it by making them slow and easy targets for shooting down apparently.BrainZEROX said:

Based on my personal Battlefield 2 experience this is game breaking news... I didn't think it was possible but it seems worse than BF2 to me. It's time for me to leave the hype train then :/Stallion Free said:

Actually sounds a hundred times better than Rush mode. This is a real BF mode.

Based on your watching the trailer, I assume?
DICE have said they're faster than in BF2, and, more importantly, people who played it at GC claim they're faster than the trailer would suggest.
In the clips where they appear slow they were probably going slow so they wouldn't just zip across the screen in the footage.

No, based on what someone actually said after playing the game at Gamescom.Giriath_89 said:

Hmm, I guess people got varied impressions then, since some have said they're fast. I guess that's to be expected, with so little time to play.
I really hope they're not too slow and easy to destroy from the ground. It shouldn't be so hard to change if they are, though.

They look fast in this video.
Maybe they look slower from the ground, but if it still feels fast to fly that's pretty good balancing.

Someone said they shot down jets twice with a helicopter (how easy can jets be to track?) and that jets were dull. Take that with a truckload of salt.Sethos said:

I'm sharing the only impression on them I read, shown to me by Mr. Snrub in this very thread.Sethos said:

You're just here to shit on the game. You've been trolling at every turn possible, so your agenda is quite clear. You do a hit'n'run every time you get to take a dig and then you stay out until you are ready to pounce with something again. So you acting innocent won't do you much good.
Oddly enough I've even received PMs about you ( And this was over 2 weeks ago )
So other people seem to notice it as well. I didn't reply to it because I didn't want to start anything as I used to respect you but now it's just the final straw. Keep the shit in the garbage thread as you're already doing quite splendidly, not here.

I'm sorry, but how is relaying impressions in regards to the way in which a jet is balanced in the game fit for an MW3 vs. BF3 thread?

One thing I'm really digging . . . Flying into the sun to blind your pursuers vision. This is a real world tactic, and I like it!

I'm surprised nobody else is super excited about the inclusion of man portable mortars.
Being able to provide squad level artillery support sounds insanely fun and complex, complexity is good.
More importantly it means recon no longer has their cheezy magic binoculars that drops shells on a target after 1 second.

gibon3z said:
I doubt it's very complex, should be very fun but I currently have my doubts how much and how well it will be used. I'm all for coordinated attacks with mortars, artillery, airstrikes and the likes but it rarely ever pans out very smoothly if at all in public games
The jets looked fine in the trailer. With a limited area of operation, the choices were either to make them really fast (and unwieldy) or slightly slower and more maneuverable. The guy in the clip seems like a complete novice (no kills, didn't even get close to really hitting anything) and he still seemed to manage some nice aerial acrobatics. Add a joystick, and it should be pretty easy to keep helicopters from bringing you down.
Not that I think heli's should even have the ability to bring a jet down, mind you... but it is what it is.

Engineer gets that now I believe. I heard support also gets claymores.

Dice said jets are slightly faster than BF2. Why would they lie? They can make them as fast as possible you know, but hey let them zip through the landscape and own every living thing on the ground. That is bad balance, no one would like to drive a tank.
LordCanti said:
Then again, it's not uncommon for helicopters to be equipped with sidewinders. I definitely think helicopters should have the ability to shoot down jets, the game needs to be within a balance - Imagine a slow helicopter that is seriously vulnerable from both the ground with the new portable AA possibilities AND jets hovering above? Nobody would touch a helicopter.
I just think it's weird people are judging so many balance aspects based off gameplay from a public event where random people could almost walk in off the street and start playing, no idea what kind of skill or experience any of the other players have. So one guy could be a top-tier competitive FPS player and annihilate everyone, that wouldn't be any indication of the balance.
Plus, jets are probably the hardest to master and planes in general, giving them to random people and they probably won't do well at all. I'll reserve judgement until the Beta hits and hopefully we get the Caspian Border map and we see people actually get skilled with every weapon and vehicle, THEN we can get worried when X does terrible and Y is too overpowered.
