[Game] Battlefield 3

[LugNut]

The engine is awesome, very impressive.

The main things I don't like are the unrealistically small damages the player was taking as stuff was blowing up right next to him and from jumping from 3m+. On the reverse, the excessive amounts of damage taken by the environment. Big chunks of building facades falling down at the slightest bang.

I like the sounds and the scopes, the recoil seems reasonable as well.

If it was moddable, it'd be great......

Maybe I'll just dive straight into hardcore mode with BF3, if there is one, instead of getting settled in the normal multiplayer mode. Getting so tired of clipping someone 5 times at 300 yards and they manage to run away from it.

That was awesome.

I used to play Armored Fist 3 a lot as a kid. It's pretty cool how far we've come.

Yesssssssssssss

They even managed to do soldier banter correctly (reminded me of Generation Kill). Sure, some of that looked scripted but if it looks anywhere close to that, woooooow, finally next gen PC game visuals and immersion baby!

EDIT: The dinosaur in the trailer is rumored to be a reference to this 4chan thread: http://i.imgur.com/SGiEQ.jpg

This game, along with RO2 are quickly convincing me to blow some cash on a GTX580.

:awesome:

I came in here to excitedly post about the Dinosaur reference. Brofist to beating me good sir.

 

[Nenjin]

And that's gonna be co-op. Sick. I laughed my *** off when I read that 4chan thread, that's made of awesome.

 

[Flogger23m]

Looks good. How will it run? Hopefully it will run as good as BC2.

 

[Hypno Toad]

Cant argue with those spectacular visuals. But between my aging system specs and the lack of mods tools Ill probably be sitting out of BF3 for a while.


Hmm, I have a feeling DICE doesn't even know what Sabot is

Some of it is obviously scripted , without that its hard to build anything immersive story-wise. I don't see scripting as a bad thing, it fits perfectly and it makes it all the more interesting when you can add story elements and events via scripts.

Multiplayer is still my main interest tho.

 

[Panzerklein]

BF 3 looks so epic , that idiotic call of duty has no chance. And what i like the most is September beta and October release !
PS Expect live multiplayer footage today and tommorow

 

[Dcode]

Some nice footage.

They have also gone back to using a health meter.

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Definitely looks good, I have to admit. I would still be highly skeptical on how it actually plays.

I would still be highly skeptical on how it actually plays.

Same here. Luckily tho they will have open beta in September, so we can all try it out for ourselves. Gotta say that a lengthy open beta indicates that they are fairly confident about the quality of their game.

 

[Dcode]

It is and always will be Battlefield.

I have always appreciate the series; even at times it has made me want to kill myself through frustration.

Looks like they have gone all out with BF3, it actually looks like a proper next gen game. Ignoring the arcade gameplay and listening to the voice overs and taking in the visuals it looks like the most realistic game I have seen.

Well, the new trailers look pretty cool. However, one things strikes me as weird in the tank trailer - why does he see the functional T-72 as bright shapes when he switches thermal, while the ones that are burning aren't highlighted at all; shouldn't they be brighter since they're much hotter, what, being on fire and all?

E3 2011: Battlefield 3's Multiplayer -- Experience in Action

Classes were redesigned:
Assault/Riflemen are now the Medics (like BF2142)
Support returns as the LMG + Ammo Pack + Suppression (Red Orchestra anyone?)
Sniper is the same long range and explosives
Engineer is the same AT and Repair

Vehicles now regen a small amount of health (You still need an Engineer to heal to full)
Vehicles can also be immobilized right before destruction, forcing an Engineer to intervene to save it, and giving the passengers a chance to bail out

Inclusion of prone and the ability to opt out of revive
Prone Balance: Lens will flash if a player looks at it, and getting up and laying down takes time that will cost you if someone is close

I hope there are more changes.
