That knifing animation looked quite sweet, but I hope they've implemented a fast knifing so when your squad is under heavy fire you can deal with the situation easily.

fair enough, didnt notice

Possibly because its in Alpha?

Vehicle unlocks... I hope this isn't gonna duplicate bc2 where you had standard stuff being options like smoke and coax mg on tanks. Hopefully when you unlock the stuff it gets applied to the vehicle with no arseing around swapping this for that.

The vids I have seen show the spot following the enemy behind hills and rocks so yeah it's the same as BC2.

unless of course they've been spotted by someone other than the one filming who can still see them.

I don't care as much about graphics as I do about gameplay.

I want BF3 to be fast paced and not like Bad Company 2 which even I felt was slow and sluggish and in this regards I agree with Raven.

Slow speed of character takes the fun away

I would still like to know how the movements feel in BF3? While running can you use A & D keys to move sideways like in CS Source and not just using mouse which was the case in Bad Company 2?

I'm getting pretty disheartened to be honest, it seems way more like BC2 than BF2.

Bf2 was made and released 2005, gaming has evolved, BC2 is way more fun than Bf2 was.
Destruction just adds so much more fun to gameplay.

we will have a faster pace of play, maps are bigger but the players move faster. So we can have huge maps and it still will feel smaller.

as any game goes, take a day or two, to learn to play it and then its all fun for months to come.

Yup i agree with this! So what if its like BC2, its no doubt gona be farrrrr better + Jets and 64 players!

MoRT489 · 21 Jul 2011 at 08:12

Is it just the Metro map in Alpha? That's bound to feel fast compared to larger 64 man maps. Can't understand people who say BC2 is slow :confused:

MoNkEyMiKeY · 21 Jul 2011 at 08:17

When playing you can see influences from bfbc2 but for me it definintely feels like a new game. Still thinks its far too early to start stressing about what full release will be like. The survey is asking a lot about gameplay and feel, so its not just server testing.

schnipps · 21 Jul 2011 at 08:20

I think its looking epic, i cant understand all those saying its looking crap like bc2 or it will be poor like bc2. I think its pretty obvious its going to be very much like bc2 with extra stuff, if you dont like bc2 then its looking pretty sure you wont like this.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 21 Jul 2011 at 08:20

Its is fast. This guy was running circles round me spawn camping. When he sprinted off he was gone.

I'm the opposite. I don't want to feel like I'm a gun on a shopping trolley.

Well we have yet to see the conquest maps with all the hardware on, what we are seeing with this alpha is BC2 rush mode so I would expect comparisons to BC2. Hopefully conquest will bring back that classic battlefield experience of all out warfare.

It's a revamped BF2. People who say its like BFBC2 are correct because they are basically the same engine with updates and its made by the same people. It just has extras, more improved graphics. It's confusing who think both games are very different.

Why not call it BFBC3, I wonder if they are using the BF3 name to bring in a lot more cash flow. :confused:
