Info I posted in the other thread:

Some info from the livestream Karl Magnus interview:

Snap cover system when scoped if you're near cover (you can pop out, maybe lean?)
Suppression has been REDUCED for all classes except Support and has more of an effect in long range
Commander does not take up a slot in the total player count--it's a "separate" system

Spectator mode:

Views: Table Top, First Person, Third Person, Free Cam
Press Q to switch between players in a squad

The skyscraper is brought down by destroying the pillars below it, btw.

EDIT:

Sprint swim confirmed
Can dive to avoid gunfire while swimming

 

[maniac-kun]

Oh nice!

 

[Moaradin]

It looks great, considering it's pre-alpha. That hand bug on the pilot was hilarious.

 

[a secret-boss]

Commander weapong deployment (ex: tomahawk) will be based on the base u captured

 

[iamvin22]

thanks. quality is tits

 

[Hellcrow]

Excellent chopper gameplay. Kill does teammates!

 

[HolyFridge]

Skyscraper collapse not scripted. Confirmed.

So glad to hear this is not a timed event

 

[Lakitu]

Can't wait to maneuver around those buildings. Should make for some interesting helicopter battles.

 

[RoKKeR]

This stream is fucking Oscar worthy compared to that shit they called a livestream in E3 2011.

 

[a secret-boss]

i need this game now

 

[Anton Sugar]

Bollards(?) to prevent vehicles from accessing a certain area. They can be "disarmed" or deconstructed
Environments are more interactive--metal detectors give you away, fire extinguishers create smoke screens

Is there a bug with the team colors in spectator mode? Seen lots of players shooting at "friends", and other players running right in front of/past "enemies".

 

[belvedere]

Loving spectator mode, a lot more info than I expected.

Show more commander please.

 

[RoKKeR]

-Disabling has been changed. Certain parts of vehicles can be disabled, i.e. tracks on a tank. This hasn't been discussed much though.

-Dust from the collapsed building stays for the rest of the map, limits visibility.

-can Spring Swim, dive underwater, use sidearm

-VOIP

-Dynamic waves from building collapse, boat action, etc.

-Spectator mode is AWESOME!

 

[Lakitu]

I need to stop watching. The commentators are annoying but the footage is glorious even though so many players are bad (I would be too). Lucky guys. It looks so great.

 

[Ikuu]

I hope it's not easy to bring the skyscrapper down, going to be a little dull if it gets taken down a minute into every game.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Commander mode: CHECK!
Spectator mode: CHECK!
Free cam: CHECK!
5 member squad: CHECK!
Land, sea and air: CHECK!


<3 DICE!

 

[HelloMeow]

I hope Dice doesn't add a blue filter. This looks so vibrant and solid.

yeah I like this little touch when I saw it.

 

[Anton Sugar]

They just confirmed the Commander can issue squad commands, as well.

Also, just saw someone get knifed. Had a second to hit "F" to counterattack.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Good god. Is it that hard to intuit that your teammates are the ones with the blue markers above them, and enemies with the orange? The amount of team-shooting I've seen in the last half hour has been staggering...

No wonder COD's formula of spawn, spray, kill, die, repeat has been so successful for them...the average gamer is evidently a moron.

 

[mr_nothin]

Commander mode: CHECK!
Spectator mode: CHECK!
Free cam: CHECK!
5 member squad: CHECK!
Land, sea and air: CHECK!


<3 DICE!

Only needs Squad Leader Only spawning and good netcode and I'm all the way in!

It seems opposite on spectator mode right now. Probably a bug

Not sure if my eyes deceived me, but flashbang grenades seems to be in it, too.

64 players and 60fps on next-gen will be glorious!

Damn this looks so sexy!

 

[Mr_eX]

I watched for a few minutes and the guy playing was only shooting at his own team.

 

[RoKKeR]

The more cap points you have, the more perks your commander would have.

For example, if your team has the C flag plus a certain number of other ones, then the commander can use the AC-130 for a limited time.

 

[rakkadakka]

Can I OHK with bolt action rifle ala BC2?

 

[HelloMeow]

I think it might be a spectator mode bug.

 

[Menelaus]

Is this true BF2 voip, or just more Battlelog bullshit voip?

 

[Lakitu]

I haven't seen any recon footage yet? Anybody see some?

 

[Anton Sugar]

I think it might be a spectator mode bug.

Yeah, think so too.

 

[Kikarian]

This game looks good.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Have they said anything regarding resolution on X1/PS4?

 

[RoKKeR]

I watched for a few minutes and the guy playing was only shooting at his own team.

Nope, that's just a spectator mode pre-alpha bug. Depends on which team the spectator is on, not the person you're spectating.

 

[sflufan]

It's almost as if they've come really close to making a sequel to BF2!!!

Except for that 5-man squad thing -- that number is just plain weird!

 

[Latvian Hitman]

I think it might be a spectator mode bug.

That's actually a relief to hear. I was starting to worry about some of these people...

 

[Punkster_NY]

DICE did a fucking phenomenal job with BF4. I'm completely blown away.

 

[Anton Sugar]

That's actually a relief to hear. I was starting to worry about some of these people...

Patrick Bach (the producer?) was also confused by it. He kept saying that the player shouldn't be shooting at his own teammates.

 

[Seanspeed]

Whats 'VOIP'?

 

[KKRT00]

Whats 'VOIP'?

Omg you can swim faster now. Praise the lord.

Just think, it'll be there day 1 on the PS4 launch.

 

[Kibbles]

Just got on, wtf they are showing the 17min demo =|

 

[TalesOfWin]

Nope, that's just a spectator mode pre-alpha bug. Depends on which team the spectator is on, not the person you're spectating.

it's funny though, Patrick Bach thought he was teamkilling also.

 

[Seanspeed]

Voice over IP

I figured that out from Google, but I dont know what that means.

 

[RoKKeR]

^^^ It is essentially "game chat" like on XBL, think Halo/Call of Duty, but on PC.

Just got on, wtf they are showing the 17min demo =|

Just a break.

EDIT: Walking animation from third person looks smooth, much improved.

 

[Lakitu]

The map looks fantastic going by the footage. Spectator mode also looks fun, I'll spend some time with that

 

[Liamario]

Do we know if this is going to be 1080p on console?

 

[maniac-kun]

Are these casters serious? They discuss the stupid perspectives they can switch through?
