Animations are probably a lot trickier to nail than the textures and faces and whatnot, but we are definitely a great step towards to photorealism with BF3. I am pretty damn excited

The game is still bound by consoles somewhat. The same core experience has to be carried over.
Introducing additional physics will call for more of a different game then the console version.
The PC version will be the best, but some compromises are expected in the singleplayer campaign to keep the core experience consistent across all platforms.
If the PC community supports the game, like 500K+ in sales the first two weeks and 3M+ over two years, I'm sure we'll see more dedicated features in the future.

Imagine the huge piles of rubble one would have to navigate though. I wonder if a tank was under the rubble if it would be protected...sure it would be stuck but I dont see why I wouldn't be able to blast my way out.
I think I would die of sensory overload if that happened while I was playing. I'm still getting over the destructible environments in BC2; I've been playing mostly WoW for the past 4 or 5 years, and the last FPS I played seriously was BF2 until I got BC2 a few weeks ago, so the physics and environment all seem so amazing to me still. I still remember the first time I heard that ominous creaking as the house I was in suddenly just came down on me. I was in such awe that I literally sat there staring at my screen and laughing for awhile before I realized that I had died and not yet chosen a respawn point

I'd imagine being atop a very high building and it starts collapsing under you would be pretty crazy in-game.
hehe, yes indeed. I believe they mentioned somewhere that the really big buildings aren't going to be full destructible in multi...gonna be something like...this: http://cdn.medalofhonor.com/sites/default/files/images/NotBuilttoLast.jpg
You can see through the dust just barely how much of a hole was punched which appears to be that it blew away any kind of cover on that side of the floor. I think I would go around blowing up every building with C4 if they all fell down completely....imagine how much different the map would look with enourmous piles of wreckage.
get one thing stright

Not sure if you are serious?
Why can't a PC engine be ported to consoles? Pretty sure consoles have seen quite a few Source games.

Of course he isn't. It's bottom-tier trolling.

I hope Battlefield 3 allows us to adjust our own rate of fire for the weapons. I'm not a fan of locked rates of fire and it's way trendy to make guns like the M16 burst-fire.

It's really just sticking the three Fault Lines videos together with a small amount of new material between each one. Underwhelming when you've seen them 5000 times already .

I need new pants. Cant wait until this game comes out.
HUMMMM. Still excited for the game, and as others have said the SP has never been what BF games are about, but there are a few things in there that seem to be designed to cater to the CoD fans in an attempt to bring some of the younger demographics on board. The cars exploding after a couple of hits I could do without, for example, and there are a few points where I think we might see some of the horrible MW/BLOPS style trigger events where your squadmates stand around shooting bullets nowhere and shouting at you to do X until you do.
Still, it can't fail to suspend disbelief more than BLOPS' campaign did. I swear you could have walked backwards through hours of that game at a time.
Found it funny that the player was being sent in without any spare magazines, and that 5.56 could punch through concrete walls at certain points but a grenade right next to the same wall had no effect.

I think he had infinite ammo, since the reserve ammo counter reads zero but he still reloads regularly.

Hey tool, you make engines on a PC not on a console. Even the ones for consoles are made on a PC.
How about Oblivion, it ran like shit on the 360(what I saw at my friends house anyways), but was pretty damn good on PC.
Wait why the fuck am I even responding to you, gtfo troll.
As for the "new" trailer, pretty nice but I must say, those cars explode a bit too quick :/. But its still fixable, this ain't a final game yet

I just watched the 12 minute trailer - was that actual gameplay, or was that some kind of mock trailer?
If that's actual gameplay from the single player campaign, and if the entire campaign is of that quality, then I'm seriously impressed. I don't even like military FPS games very much.

I don't know how many times DICE has to state that it's actual in-game gameplay footage before people stop asking this question.
It is actual gameplay, i saw it live with the computer right in front of me and the EA guy playing it at PAX East. The videos and pictures of this game don't look as good as seeing it in person.
They're going to have to keep stating it until it comes out because people won't believe it until they see it.
Crytek who?

LOL!
Is everyone asking this question - it looks so good, it's almost unreal. That said, I'm starting to get the feeling that we're maybe entering one of those technological shifts during which everything lurches forward.
Dude I certainly hope so. We've been stagnant for far to long thanks to the pos consoles and lazy greedy devs.
Let's hope Dice is the one to lead the pack going foward.

Have they said if your NPC squad partners are going to be brainless and not do anything, or are they actually going to fight and kill enemy NPC's? I ask because I know in COD games you do all of the work and to me that would get boring.
As for the footage, the 12 minute trailer does look good. That is until you start complaining about what will or will not penetrate walls and how a grenade can blow up next to a wall and not even leave a mark. It's not that realistic yet.

Oh, I'm not asking for realism. I just don't want it to end up catering too much to the MW fans and end up doing some crappy things, like the NPC squad behaviour as you mentioned. The wall part was the only thing I thought was a little odd, and it's not even in an alpha state apparently so I'm not expecting everything to be finished.
I really hope the weapon handling behaviour is the same in MP as in that video. I like the way they've animated it and done the ACOG field of view stuff.

It looks amazing, and it's about damn time we see something better than 4 years ago.
