What is the white haired bloke going on about at the end of the BF3 demo. He said you can download it for free on Oct 25th, what is he referring to?

It was on-rails single player, only thing he controlled was the tank turret, disappointed so far.

Actually he was controlling the whole tank, it pops up on screen "take control of the tank". Its far more visible when watching the hd stream.

He gets confused with his English. I think he said keep your thumbs crossed as well :L

The social stuff will be free compared to CoD's version.

Yeah tank section not so bad then, just how he drove straight all the time it looked on rails.

Ok, so there's just the two trailers for now, the 49 second Mp one, and the 1:19 general one, anything else to watch?

Buckster · 6 Jun 2011 at 22:44

what happens to the tank whilst you are calling in the airstrike then ?

or is that a seperate player?

ScarySquirrel · 6 Jun 2011 at 23:01

Just watched the tank demo too, was good, a little dull, but then SP tank battles are of no interest to me. Looks good though.

I really hope they don't cheap out on the Vehicles to allow for DLC this time around. The littlebirds in the BF2 expansion would have been amazing in some of the stock maps, yet they were restrcited to only a couple of booster pack maps.

Hopefully theres a large variety of air and ground vehicles, blackhawks, huey gunships, littlebirds, jets, warthogs etc. Preferably have some huge maps with every vehicle on them instead of spreading them thinly across maps.
