Really disappointed by the stream.

trigger-happy · 8 Jun 2011 at 00:16

the sony move song presentation fails, the sony spokes man doesn't even know what he is talking about lol.

ScarySquirrel · 8 Jun 2011 at 00:20

That was massively disappointing.

Gerard · 8 Jun 2011 at 00:21

That stream was the most pointless thing ever, hosted by 2 people that were sporting a stiffy for the Military and they looked stunned they actually got to be able to do it.

We really didn't learn that much more and barely seen anything of the game, Can't believce i sat here from 9:30 to now watching this. :eek:

LeJosh · 8 Jun 2011 at 00:28

What's wrong with wanting to watch a live stream about a game?

trigger-happy · 8 Jun 2011 at 00:45

yea, but mw3 black Tuesday gameplay footage was a completely boring.

Tombo · 8 Jun 2011 at 01:11

LOL at all the whining in here.

dmcg · 8 Jun 2011 at 01:21

fail regenerating health again hope bf3 is not as bad as bc2 anyway

Neil79 · 8 Jun 2011 at 01:28

I'll say it again with everything i've seen it's just BFBC2 for the new generation, apart from jets and huge maps, they might aswell have just called it BFBC3 with a new engine.

Same colour sheme, spot assists, uav, Knife lundges( did someone say press F? ) and woohoo regen health, console gamers would love that

EDIT : Lol

I honestly don't see what the issue is with regenerating health.

I've played games with it, and without it. Makes little difference to me.

From what i've read, your health only regenerates when you're away from a firefight. If you're in one, it doesnt. Meaning the only way to recover is to find a medic.

Seems the perfect compromise to me.

Too console derp for my liking, if i shoot you or slash at you does your health regen or do you fall and bleed?

Where does it say that your health only regens if you find a medic?, p's i'm tired so i might have read you wrong

Tank footage show at EA press conference is possibly the first mission in the game
New suppression system -
Operation Metro - rush gamemode, close combat, play as U.S. Marines, take on Russian forces in heart of Paris, infantry focus
Operation Metro objective is to take back Stock Exchange
Team Deatchmatch, Conquest, Rush gamemodes confirmed
Battle Log - hub for social Battlefield experience
4 classes tuned for teamplay - Assault (medic abilities), Engineer (anti-vehicle, repair), Support (give ammo, suppressive fire), Recon (main focus supplying intel)
Heavily focused on unlocks, more than any Battlefield game, customization key
Engineer has flashlight under-slung on weapon for lighting up area, blinding enemy
Every weapon has 3 customization slots (barrels, etc)
Support solider has bi-pod - placed on any surface in game (more accuracy)
New feature called Suppression - all the bullets you fire at an enemy affect them regardless if you hit them or not. All the bullets you fire that get close enough will start to reduce their combat efficiency. Squad can then flank the enemy and you will receive a Suppression score.
Jets, boats, tanks, helicopters confirmed
LAV-25 Light Armored Vehicle confirmed, also in Operation Metro
Dog tags - fully customizable, dynamically updated, only obtainable from knife kills in the back
Knifing system more dramatic, spectacular <- LOL!!

Thats your only reason for not liking it ? because its "too console derp" ??

LOL enough with the irrational hatred of anything console. Just because you find it on console games, doesn't mean its going to wreck the game.

As for the bit about it not regnerating during firefights, thats just chatter on forums / twitter etc..

But it makes sense. Dice are making a big deal about the medic class being integrated into the rifleman class so people can be a medic and still go off and play the macho soldier shooting everybody. Why would they be encouraging people to carry med kits if your health regenerated like in COD ?

I don't get the irrational hatred of the knife either. Theres no better way to get your revenge on somebody than by knifing them in the back and humiliating them.

Was a running joke in Counter Strike that being knifed was humiliation and the ultimate way to get revenge on your foes. And CS was a PC game. its hardly a console thing. Its just not something that battlefield originally had.
