Think they mentioned "rolling thunder" will be another map, not sure thats just the single player campaign though with the tanks we saw.

Also watching the EA stream last night they kept going on about dog tags I didn't really understand that, seems they still have the BFBC insta knife in there for console at least.

Heres hoping insta kill with knife from behind and nerfed frontal knife kills.

I think the dog tags are just a gimmick. But, one I don't mind to be honest. Sure, it'd be nice to have a running count of knife kills.
 
Id love it if the countermeasures for planes and heli's worked like the sunbursts from Airwolf:


Have the missiles exploding in mid air or the ground depending if the missile follows the countermeasures to the ground or not. Resulting explosion could also dish out some damage to the aircraft (or other vehicles\infantry depending on proximaty) if the countermeasure was deployed late and the missile exploded close by.

Not gonna happen though. :o
 
think it will depend on what server company's like multiplay let you do .

its getting very restricted now on what you can do now on these games as they wanting any body being able to run a server in ten minutes :p

if you look at moh or bfbc2 you cant really change that much serverside

the easier it is to set a server up equals more cash from rentals
 
well either way its limiting possibilities in game play which are quite simple

just emailed someone to try to get some bf3 screenies and bioshock infinite info hopefully they come with the goods

I dont see why not? There will be missles, there will be counter measures, the missile has to go somewhere if it misses! :D

In past games i think the missile just fizzled away i dont recall seeing them exploding in midair or anything. Who knows :o
 
I'm gonna hold out hope that thats not the case this time :D would be amazing to look up and see a dog fight only for the missile to miss and smash into a building next to you, only to send it falling down on top of you!

I. am. so. excited :S

I doubt they'd ever restrict people so much that they couldn't even choose the map rotation.
 
considering how much servers have changed and what you can do i really dont know

gone from dedis to what we have now in a short period of time with no gain other than being able to set up a server easier cause theres less things to sort out.

its good for server company and maybe managing them for every tom dick and harry but for other variables its a lot worse.


like for instance one of my mates has been involved in gaming for years never understood dedis properly never messed with them . had a look at them couldnt get his head round them .

he got a server for bops had it running in ten minutes .

this is the difference now. yeah its not bf but its very similar though in the features you can access with newer games.

our own dedis again would be awesome and im sure this would help the structure a lot better on pc aswell .

Would be interesting to see, even the ambience of a dog fight, looking up and seeing a missile exploding in mid air. But i reckon they'll implement them how they were in BF2.
