The more I see of this game the worse it looks. It looks as if it's shaping up to be Bad Company 3 not Battlefield 3 .

I don't agree its an "aim assist", do you 'snap' to target when someone has been spotted? If they are behind cover, you'll just waste ammo spamming in their direction. However, if you're team mates have spotted an emeny in the open - wouldn't you want to know about it? Again, this should be last known position and not trackable through buildings etc as per my previous post.

No in BC2 most of the cover is penetrable so you just spam the Q key then get a spot then spam the triangle with bullets, it's lame, it takes the intensity out of the game when all you are looking for is them bright orange triangles to shoot. And it is an aim assist as you do not have to see your target to get a kill.

Fresh alpha footage below and 3D hacking at its worst.

which would be good

the 1 /2 hit kill bit or the QTE bit.

QTEs are a terrible piece of game design.



whoever invented them should be stabbed by a man manically screaming "PRESS x TO SAVE YOUR SPLEEN"

50% damage from knife half hit kill... that kinda thing. From the front anyway. Will stop rusing into face of guy shooting at you, only to stab them, kill them, and not die yourself. Which I hate.

 

[aidan444]

Dat knife kill.

 

['Wes]

Dat knife kill.

Can't really tell, but where does the knife penetrate the body?

 

[Tefal]

looks like just under the neck in just above where the collarbones meet the centre of your chest.


but that doesn't make sense given how he's holding the knife, it must be a slash not a stab.

 

[Gerard]

Can't really tell, but where does the knife penetrate the body?

Looks like the lower side of the neck.

 

[MoRT489]

Did I read rightly earlier on in the thread about the ability to counter someone who is just about to knife you?

That would be awsome!

How long before we get Tekken style fighting between soldiers "**** gun's empty... 'FINISH HIM'"

Except that u cant spam the Q key in BC2 as it gets blocked for 30 seconds if u over use it in a short space of time

Half the time that bloody key never worked anyway, had plenty of games where i went to spot someone and it wouldn't let me, even if i had yet to spot in that game.

 

[Sp00n]

Half the time that bloody key never worked anyway

That's cause you were spamming it the rest of the time

 

[Neil79]

Either in the neck or just below

Take that back dammit......

Looks like he grabs the guy somewhere on his chest using his left hand and then slashes his throat with the knife in his right hand.

But, omg, the sound, is it amazing or what, seriously impressive.

Sadly, it's spoiled by the rediclous star/pins popping up on screen for every damn kill and a silly sound cue to make it even more stupid.

What ever happened to enjoying a game for the gameplay alone? You now need a shiny sticker for every achievement, however small it maybe, like a special needs child.

 

[Gerard]

Nope, sometimes it just failed to work

 

[Tefal]

however small it maybe, like a special needs child.

for some reason i read that as "like a special needs a child"

>.<

Yeah, looks a lot like MOH for that reason, flashy flashy bling bling notifications.
