I just hope they don't underpower the engineer class like they did on BC2. If my team was getting raped by a t90, I would have to switch to a kit with c4, sneak around, and blow his shit up. I am tired of having to use up to six cg's just to blow up a tank. :mad:

Amen, who knew you needed to use 3 RPG's to blow up a tank. Let alone when everytime you hit the tracks.

Dear troll,

You have been here 7 months, you should probably /getfucked. Might I suggest the Crysis 2 demo for you instead of attempting to troll? You might have more fun, you will definitely make less enemies.

By your way of thinking, you are the one trolling.
from wiki:
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response."

I asked whether there will be naval warfare. a question. In past posts I focused on maps in BF3. And the features that were left out. you on the other hand.

Eh... I see the single player as icing on the cake.

Another way of seeing it, that emphasis on a linear cinematic experience might take precedence over a raw realistic gameplay especially in terms of strategy. BC2 illustrated their move towards that in multiplayer through the "spawn on squad member" and maps that restrict movement to other areas until objective is completed. Had they put in place the Commander feature or at least a modified version of it, I wouldnt be concerned. As of now, we don't know much about multiplayer and the trailers that have been released so far are aimed at attracting COD gamers, whilst giving Activision something to worry about.

People use the term "troll" too loosely. Some people just enjoy fucking around. I don't see any harm in his post. Don't speak for me.
 
I watched this trailer about three times and I can't shake this feeling that it was all staged and pre-rendered... it's all just so fluid, the animations look so good, too good for a gameplay, I have never seen anything like it in a game, I mean this is some Pixar shit right there. I am still excited but I will be keeping my emotions in check until I see some real MP gameplay. Again, party pooper takes the better of me.

It says in-game footage.
It was obviously 100% scripted (well, most of it) but I'm pretty sure animation and such will look exactly like that at release.

We're in 2011, afterall.

Yeah, and cars still don't fly. :D
 
That was most definitely scripted gameplay, but it was in game footage and real time.

For something similar, go look at the promo videos for bad company 2, they were in game footage, but for sure scripted. But damn, the animations are amazing.
 
You only need two, and use the explosives perk and an assualt dropping ammo.

Tracer dart - lock on - death from above. Once you plant just move away from the tank to a safe distance.

it wouldnt be the first promo trailer using pre-rendered graphics and trying to pass it off as gameplay footage

I imagine him to be like the guy from Falling Down on release day if he gets the 360 version having watched this trailer

On the other hand we know it isn't pre-rendered, so there's really no point in insinuating it is.

That's not hard to believe. I can believe the demo was running on a single GTX 580. makes perfect sense to me honestly.
 
lol GTX 580 is the most high end card that exists, so obviously it would be the best choice. Can you imagine them playing the demo on anything less? SLI isn't taken into consideration by devs, one card should always be enough. But just because it looked good doesnt mean BF3 recommended specs would be outragous, probably the same as BC2 and crysis 1.

On a topic remotely resembling the thread topic, how are the SP campaigns in the other BF games?
Click to expand...

1942 through 2142 were nonexistent - MP maps with bots. many people liked BC2's singleplayer but i never bothered to finish it. i thought it was very mediocre. if BF3's SP is good then that's icing on the cake, but i'd be just as happy if they released a multiplayer-only game (which, obviously they are not).
 
hmm, if a second 570 is more affordable around the time this comes out it'd be a wonderful excuse for me to upgrade
 
Thanks, that makes sense. I thought they were all MP only but never bothered to check.
 
So looking forward to this game. BF2 was my favorite fps game of all time. So good. I hope BF3 is just a facelift of BF2 with bug fixes and some tasteful additions. Don't want any of the MW crap. Hopefully they don't screw too much up.

Pre-ordered.
 
September time i'll be able to get me get the best available graphics card.... HELL YEAH
