I guess they are going the 2142 route, which makes me happy because I think it´s the best battlefield game. Of course I am alone hereIkuu said:They should have Medic, Assault, Recon, Engy, and Support at least. I guess we're going to have Medic as the strongest class again.

FLEABttn said:Okay, so going through the article:
-Aiming for CY Q4 2011 release
-Lighting sounds neat, one "probe" contains more lighting information than an entire BFBC2 level.
-Level destruction is going to be "believable" but basically everything is destructible.
-Looking into a theater mode but can't talk about it
-Will have co-op
-There will be a kill-cam but it can be turned off
-"Fuck" will be used often, so M rated for sure
-There will be an earthquake in a level. The destruction sounds very impressive. 7 story building collapses, looks very well done
I think we should not take the Bad Company mechanics into account here. BF3 might be very different in terms of gunplay and pace. At least I hope it is.EVIL said:fuuuuu four classes, thats a bummer. would have liked support to be a class of its own. so we wont get spammed with uber medics again.
slamskank said:All of this sounds great. Hoping the gunplay is an improvement from BC2, that game felt weird to me.
Medal of Honor's sound design is LEAGUES better. Very meaty and powerful. Of course, Dice did the multi for that game too, so I'm psyched. :3derFeef said:Best sound in gaming, that HDR is pretty incredible indeed.
Me too, the wait is going to kill me.MiniBossBattle said:Anxiously awaiting PC specs. I want to build a new one for this and PC racing.

doomed1 said:However, thing is, I really like infantry games, so I'm wondering how well they're going to strike a balance between solid infantry play and heavy machinery play. I'd like to not have to AT every tank that comes our way, but watching large scale armor battles while my squad moves in to flank infantry positions would be sick.
Mr. Snrub said:I could have sworn when they asked about mod tools on BC2, they mentioned something about how difficult Frostbite 1.5 is to work with but 2.0 would be better. What a disappointment. People still play BF2 mods.
Sounds good, more than 4 classes is probably too much for 24 players. I'd give recon silenced smgs so they really can live up to their class name and actually use their equipment. Silenced smgs on the class with the the loud, easily seen rocket launchers never made sense anyway.Mr Sandman said:If they're changing BC2's classes, I hope it's
Support: LMGs, ammo, extra grenades, etc
Assault: Medkit, AR+GL, smoke, revive, etc
Other two - same as BC2
LMGs + medic is just too unrealistic and is pretty OP.
Agreed. Medics should be Assaults without GLs and such, but with medical supplies.

Customization is great, and nice to know it won't go the way of TF2, though I would have never expected it to hit that low.FLEABttn said:-Dice trying to find a good balance between customization of your character and not having "pink rabbit hat(s)"

They were promising a new wave in graphics, so presumably they would be real.drizzle said:Are those pictures actual in-game screenshots? They look like target renders to me.
I was hoping not to buy a new computer this year... :/
Dood get a Twitter account and tell them.TheSeks said:So, I can have Battlefield: Bad Company/Battlefield BC2 non-newbie-ification back? (EG: Team Kill idiot snipers, no kill cam to give away my sniping position) in addition to destroying everything AND have video montages on consoles for the 12 year olds that want to stroke their e-peen can see me?

GotY ALL YEARS/GotG right here.
DICE, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY (only if you put in PS3 text keyboard chat for my disabled ass, PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ)

Because why encourage a game's lifespan when you can encourage a game's lifespan and get people to PAY for it. On that note, mod tools after a year would be great, like after their "DLC narrative" gets played through, but don't hold your breath.Mr. Snrub said:Exactly. "Frosbite 2.0 is complex and mods tools would have to be dumbed down, so does Dice really want to put their time to that or would it be better spent elsewhere?"
Where else should it be spent? Unlocking different parts of the map as "map packs"? New unlocks? Mod tools give a game a lifespan, why would you not encourage that?
The Faceless Master said:4 classes, no mod tools, killcam, story mode? who is DICE trying to fool by claiming that PC is lead version?
real battlefield fans know that single player shouldn't exist and nobody wants to install 2142 with it's invasive rootkit-like DRM...subversus said:2142 had 4 classes. You can turn off kill cam. I can't see how addition of SP can make this game less PC centric since there are SP games on PC as you know.
yeah, but i play engineer a lot, and don't play medic that muchMr Sandman said:Guys running around with M60s and Gustavs and can repair temp god mode tanks. Sounds fun.
All the PC Battlefields let you play against bots. The bots were mentally retarded. So yes, they were MP only.X-Frame said:Single Player?
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Battlefield 1 and 2 were MP only?
i think they want people to complain.Net_Wrecker said:Wait...the console player count hasn't been increased because nobody complained? Is that what I'm reading?
WAT?
