Oh I dunno....I saw one thing at 9:47 - deployable LMGs

we've ranted about why nobody else considered these for years.

Really? Has no other game used them? Thought I'd seen them elsewhere.
Aforementioned Red Orchestra has always had deployable MGs, I'm sure that there must be some other retail games that have them though...
theres probably some minor games, but none of the big franchises have used them.
Battlfield, CoD, etc...
Its going to be brilliant to get up high, get your LMG deployed, and start using the thing as its intended - an automatic sniper rifle.
The beautifull thing about deployable LMGs is that is beautifully balanced out by the fact you can't move, and it takes a good few seconds to undeploy the LMG before you can move - limiting them to long range support weapons only - exactly the situation they are intended to be used for.

Excellent link. Shows how beautiful it's looking.
I also noticed a few little things watching the video, like tactical reloading and weapon fire modes. I like little details like that.
Does anyone have an overview on the difference between the PC and console versions.
So far have established:
12v12 as opposed to 32v32.
Maps scaled down for land combat but air combat remains the same.
Don't think its worth putting about the graphical limitations lol but has anyone else come across any more tidbits relating to the console version?

Mohaa in berlin tug of war map i think there was a deployable mg which you could carry around.
Either way, I havent watched the trailer, I am a battlefield hardened veteran and play almost daily, but have never played the single player. From one of the teaster trailers I watched it looks too linear, scripted, not very challenging and surprise surprise too 'hoo rah marine corps yea baby get some!'
I'll pass.
