Also, why did the US Military go with Cry Engine 2 for the military simulator again? This shit right here by Frostbite 2 pretty much is a simulator...at least visually and aesthetically speaking. UNREAL...

 

[Izayoi]

I'm fucking jealous.

Now give us lots and lots of footage.

 

[woober]

Four hours of BF3 footage tomorrow!

"The Battlefield 3 Live Stream goes live on Tuesday, June 7 at 1:30p PT until 5p PT and can be available on the Battlefield UStream Channel, Battlefield.com, and the Battlefield Facebook page. Be sure to tune in and we’ll see you on Tuesday!"

EA doesn't license out FB2.

Good. They didn't show nearly as much as I hoped for today.

Reeeeeeally hoping it's rehosted afterwards...no way I can get out of work tomorrow.

FOUR hours? the heck? do they wanna spoil half the campaign or something? or is it MULTIPLAYER!?

 

[woober]

I'm sure its multiplayer. Should be fun!

 

[Kintaco]

So the multiplayer is still the same (for the most part) as Battlefield 2? That is to say, it's still about capturing key points with a pretty big group of players per map?

I pray they show BF2 style conquest. The Metro trailer they showed today makes me doubt it as it was Rush. : (

It's mostly Conquest as the focus, but I believe every map will also have Rush and TDM versions. I'm fine with Rush being included as long as they're Rush versions of Conquest maps, and not the other way around like in BC2.

Anyone have like a 1080p download link?

Scroll down and you'll see 1080p Operation Metro and Frostbite 2 Features.

And here's the Thunder Run Tank Gameplay 1080p trailer.

 

[Izayoi]

They better archive every second of that footage tomorrow. I've got fucking finals.

Fuck.

 

[JWong]

Frostbite is all EA's so they can finally roll off that Unreal 3 shit.

 

[TheSeks]

I'll hopefully be watching the live stream. >_>

I'm supposed to work for five hours tomorrow and this falls smack dab in the middle of it. Gonna try to switch a shift.

 

[bigboss370]

was that T-rex toy at the beginning of the thunder run tank video supposed to be an easter egg referencing 'truckasaurus rex'?

 

[Exuro]

I thought it was a joke about that 4chan post saying CoD needed dinosaurs.

 

[GeneralIroh]

that knife stab execution in multiplayer footage, i want that out. don't want to get stuck in melee animation online.

everything else looks overwhelmingly amazing.

No way, its much better than people running around with 1 hit slashes like in cod4.

I haven't kept up, but I am HOPING this is playable on the show floor. Its the first booth I'm heading to when the doors fly open tomorrow

oh wow, haha thats awesome. i was thinking it was referencing that Hagar is the main character's son or something >_> or at least a nod to the bad company series.

No way, its much better than people running around with 1 hit slashes like in cod4.

it was fine in bad company 2. i just don't wanna get stuck in an animation like in halo reach so i hope its just a death animation and not something i have to wait to see complete when i stab someone while people are shooting me.


also, is it just me or was there a lack of craters in the ground from tank shells? i saw like one little dent in the ground but thats it. in bc2 craters formed from explosions acted as speed bumps for vehicles and actually affected gameplay, i hope thats back.

Of course it is.

<3 DICE if this isn't a coincidence.

If you can, find out:

- how many players can fit in a squad max
- is the knife equipable or is there just a knife button
- is there a stamina meter or can you run infinitely
- is there enter/exit animation for vechiles

Thats all I can think of so far.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

I really want to see some multiplayer! I love the vehicles!

development team here at activision

nope.avi

also, went to the mw3 reveal trailer

second most thumbed up comment: I'm disappointed&#65279; by the lack of dinosaurs.

:lol

 

[blazinglazers]

That tank video was unreal.

I'm floored.

//edit//

No, seriously. That gameplay right there hints that we're just around months away from action games truly surpassing action movies. Amazing.

 

[lastplayed]

Looks sweet. Maybe I'll finish that Abrams model I'm building by the time this comes out. :/

 

[Izayoi]

That feel when suppression bonuses and squad leaders.

 

[Daante]

Tank Gameplay:

i was extremely impressed what i saw on EAs live conference, but watching this now in 720/1080p is just INSAAAAAAAAAAANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[Ikuu]

Hopefully they're using the BF2 spotting wheel and not the shit they had in BC2, got tired of not being able to spot stuff I could see, or the the fact that the range on spotting was an issue on some maps.

 

[computers putin']

I've watched each of the trailers a few times over and I must say......... GODDAMN THIS SHIT LOOKS AMAZING AOGJAEGNOVAAJAPj;!!!!!!!!!!!!????&&&&!

Oh God oh God oh God oh God THANK YOU.


Edit: At the end when those B-1B bombers fly over dropping those airburst munitions,
I said holy fuck.

 

[WARCOCK]

I need more. Give me more. Visual crack

 

[Kyaw]

that BRRRRT is the sound of their Vulcan.

All the sounds, all the chatter, all the models are spot on authentic/realistic.

They have VADS ON the Warthogs? Well, shit.

VADS in BC2 was EXTREMELY effective at anti-air.

 

[Gram Negative Cocci]

It's so weird seeing a game being promoted and shown on a PC these days. During E3!

Feels like the 90's.

Feels good man.

 

[JonCha]

Imagine if there was cross-platform play.

 

[Izayoi]

It's actually not a Vulcan, it's a GAU-8.

And it's more like the GAU-8 has a Warthog, not the other way around...

 

[DanielJr82]

Best looking game this E3? I think so too.

 

[LEGGZZZZ]

I think I'm buying a PC for this game.
