Top man. I loved BF2 though utterly talentless so looking forward to this.
 
it looks to be a lot more arcadey than bf2. Much smaller maps etc.

Bf2 was pretty acadey also when you consider it took a good few rounds to drop people. Im not really sure how small or large the maps really are, ive seen a few vids where the player had to travel quite a distance to get into any action.
 
Infantry focused rather than vehicle focused, smaller maps, faster paced combat, less players. It has a bloody single player campaign!

"The most striking difference from past Battlefield games, at least on the map provided in the beta, is the strong focus on infantry combat. In past Battlefield games, the focus seemed to be on vehicle combat, with infantry providing a critical supporting role with anti-tank, sniper, and medic roles. "

Edit: also If it was going to be anything like BF2 why would they be bothering with BF3? I mean it wouldn't really make sense to have two titles with little differentiation.

I wouldn't say its more infantry focused at all, more like this time round infantry combat seems to actually look and feel right as opposed to how its been in the past.

We've only seen beta footage of one map where they only had a couple of tanks and a hummvee to play around with, hardly grounds for saying it definately more focused on infantry. Theres less players and smaller maps but at the same time on 64 player maps on bf2 it never really felt like there was 64 people on the map, you usually seen a handful farting around in any area at any given time and that was it. There were some exceptions like karkand maybe but even then that was only on specific points.

Well bf3 could still be a few years out so this is probably to tide us over and keep us wanting more.
 
The gametrailers video? The single player world first announcement

I don't recall anything saying its more infantry focused in that, :confused:

If anything id say theyve made the infantry combat better than it was, more in line with a regular fps game than the clunky implementation it had in past games. :)

shudda waited for a 4pack announcement :P

@12mins he mentiones its a lot more infantry based, but leading to singleplayer and on that level xD

But as you said the infantry as a whole looks a lot better worked on which shows theyve polished it up hopefully.

They do say big open sandbox environments on mp. D: I doubt theyd be as big as bf2? Be nice if it was!

My biggest hope is that the PC version gets more options than the consoles. Right now, you can't choose which server you join, you can't choose which squad you join (although you can join squads via friend invites), you can't communicate with other squads via text or voice, there is no commander or squad leaders to coordinate squads, you can't see who is talking when someone uses VoIP, and several other issues. We do know that the PC version will have a server browser and the ability to host private servers, but little else.

I rly hope this isn't an issue for the PC version. I guess the talk bar will mean it won't be. This comms issue killed Frontlines stone dead and also put me off BC1 on console.
