Please tell me that it's an issue with your parents not allowing you play M rated games because otherwise dude... Wow such prudence..

They are soldiers in a war game not TFC 2 caricatures.

I'm 29 years old. I just don't like listening to people swear, whether in real life or in entertainment media. I find it extremely tacky because it often makes the speaker sound immature and unintelligent.

It's pretty retarded to pass judgement on a thing that doesn't even exist yet... All shooters should have the three pillars, but a competent dev might be able to expand on the classic design without making sacrifices.

I did not state that BF3 needs FP cover... I said I'd like to see DICE give it a shot at some point. I think of any dev, they seem to have the right sense of balancing weighty player movement with playability. They also have great artists and a strong focus on animation.

It was just a comment dude put away the claws.

My comment isn't directed at you specifically, but more towards the fact that the function of a cover system in a MP-fps was around and working for years, only to be stripped away and is slowly being re-introduced.

At this point I'd rather see those devs that took huge steps backwards demonstrate competence in the use of a system that was well established and bring them back to par with where they were years ago, before fumbling around with the next step.

Hum, didn't think of that to be honest. I'm gonna start paying more attention, if they throw a "hijo de puta" there I'll know for sure it's not Russian. :p

I guess that they could go with a tick box option in gameplay options to remove swears from some circumstances that would otherwise lead to them.

They better add an option for swearing, seriously, last time I played Conviction the swearing was so ridiculous I started to think "I am too old for this Shit"

I'd advise staying away from Bulletstorm. It was so bad I had to stop playing.

Yeah, the Battlefield Moments were some of the best promotional videos I've ever seen for a multiplayer game and really put into perspective what sets Battlefield apart.

Need to see this in motion. Hopefully March 1st brings some gameplay videos, and not just like an extended version of that teaser. >_>

I think they're doing a tech demo at GDC so they'll probably at least show some video of the destruction tools.

That's probably how it will be. The snipers so they can lone wolf all day? Medics already have med packs. Engineers?

Taking out the Support and Spec Ops classes sucks. Who's gonna carry the C4? Assault and snipers again? Snipers never want to get in on the action and assault gets ammo boxes for infinite c4. Laaame.

And why would medics carry around heavy ass lmgs anyway?

I don't really care about the swearing to be honest, but I gotta say, all the chatter going on in BC2 REALLY adds to the game. It's just awesome running towards somewhere, explosions and smoke everywhere, and hearing people shouting from the front, sides, back, etc. Don't really mind if it's FUCK FUCK FUCK that I'm hearing most of the time.

I'd imagine people wouldn't really watch their language in a similar situation IRL.


@ mclaren777. I believe linking to sites is also a no go on GAF. Better play it safe.

Looks like real soldiers, not the character models DICE made up[?] (though I liked them). .

I was about to post something similar... these are the most believable character models I've seen in a military shooter. I think it's the proportions. They don't look "gamey" at all.

Might just be the images... we'll see how they are in motion... but I'm thinking this is the new high water mark.

I remember a dev saying he had tried MLAA for Bad Company 1, but it didn't work right.

I wonder/hope they tried it for Frostbite 2..........but I doubt it.....they most likely have their own solution, Crytek.

There is no good way to break up four classes in a way that does not suck. Someone who should not have a light machine gun has one.

Putting it on assault would bring back the support class but give them C4. The Battlefield 2 classes had a good breakdown.

There's the only cover system that matters, and it's been around for a long time.

I agree. Cover systems inherently have problems, and that's why I play fps over a game like Uncharted online. I honestly wish ND would make Drake control in similarly to fps controls, ie the ability to crouch and play stealthily but still keep the cover system.

I know it'll never happen, but I wish they could have a more realistic mode where parachutes won't work unless you actually open them a reasonable distance from the ground. Better yet, make it so that bailing out of your vehicle isn't so instantaneous. There's nothing more frustrating than getting off a crack shot on a transport helicopter with a rocket, seeing it spin to the ground, and suddenly there are four parachutes opening two feet from the ground and you're getting swarmed by infantry.

So are the pictures in the magazine from gameplay not a cutscene or anything? Because a couple of them seem to show a cover system.

I think it's different for a TPS with full control over the camera and more of a sense of full body movement like Uncharted than in an FPS. I do like some cover systems in FPS but I think they work a lot better and make more sense in a TPS. Goldeneye Wii actually had a unique solution for cover in an FPS. If you were crouching behind cover and you went into ADS you would pop up and then pop back down with you released Z. It worked really well.

I think those are just allies taking cover, not the player.

You would have to mute voice chat as well, unless you want to hear some child (or manchild) tell you to dildo your ass with a cactus and douche it out with lemon juice.
