In MP I'd rather just a quick swipe then I'm on my way.

Not a fan of being killed whilst I'm stuck in a QT event.

The quick swipes are crap, reminds me of cod where while running along a quick snick with the knife is enough to dispatch anyone. At least this way it looks like a bit of force has been put behind it and its hitting them in a vital area, unlike cod where you can slice their big toe and cause death faster than any other weapon in the game...

Two buildings don't have much destruction lol

I see you missed my point completely, bravo!

I didn't miss your point at all, you just want a quick slash animation. The game doesnt appear to have that so you're SOL.

McGray · 21 Jul 2011 at 16:54

The BFBC2 one is fine although you should have to pull the knife out.

QT event I don't need.

I hope this is clear enough.

That's embarrassing and after all the fuss Dice made over destruction, the cars and vans are not destructible either...I think Dice are trolling us big time.

We don't even know if there is QTE in the game, i don't think it would make much sense for mp if there was.

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

Thats one of the main things I hate about new MP shooters, putting pointless crap on the screen that becomes completely meaningless after you have played the game any length of time. I think that rubbish came from CoD, no doubt Activation take pride in this "innovation". Nearly every recent and upcoming online shooter has this crap in..

Completely breaks any immersion for me, I don't want the same medal enough times to melt them down and make a god damn statue of myself.

I face palmed at the Far Cry 2 single player footage showing +3 marks on a kills too..

The actual destruction looks decent, the buildings that take no damage though..i dunno what dice are upto with that. Just looks incredibly hokey that invulnerable buildings are in a game that is hyping destruction.

Be nice if some of the rubble stayed on the ground instead of sinking through it or disappearing.

It's 100% scripted, and it looks like something that you would see in the red faction games.

It was also scripted in bc2, didn't stop people enjoying blowing the hell out of everything.

Dark Sun · 21 Jul 2011 at 17:12

Like how the guy drops dead after being shot 5 mins in

McGray · 21 Jul 2011 at 17:13

Ravenxxx2 maybe you should stick to BF2.

By your own admission, this is not the game for you.

RavenXXX2 · 21 Jul 2011 at 17:13

This is suppose to be the amazing frostbite 2 engine in action, the destruction looks like crap, can't even shoot out lights in some clips. Maybe because it's alpha or maybe not, games out soon I doubt there will be many major changes from now up until release.

This is suppose to be the true BF2 sequel as said by Dice may times, expectations are high.

Well, that was in a subway which is already dark, shooting out the lights would make it an annoying environment to play in.

We got torches

anyway we got 3D hacking to see the enemy in the dark.
