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

Yeha we got torches, and thats going to be a great beacon for the inevitable camping noob in the corner with the mg to lock onto.

Guys, its in its Alpha stages. For crying out loud, don't be so pessimistic!

The finished product is going to be superb, you know that. Its not going to be like Crysis 2.

Have some belief for crying out loud!

Do they have a forum in the trial with devs posting? That canuck guy is saying that the map has been striped down for testing purposes. Be interesting to see if thats true, at least in the sense if theres been a lot of destrcution removed.

Games don't change *that* much from "public" alpha to release version. What you see now is pretty much what you will get. I really understand why BF2 veterans are hating on the gameplay videos we've seen so far, the game really seems like it's a mod called BF3 built on slightly improved BC2 engine. The one questionable thing is how much is the game going to change going from 32 player rush to 64 player conquest. I've no idea why they aren't demoing the 64-player version in public events like E3 and even on this alpha - maybe it will come later on in the alpha and they are just testing the tech and compatibility now. They must offer 64-player gameplay during the open beta though.

I really liked BC2 but my hopes are still that BF3 stays as far away from BC2 as possible. BF2 was simply epic back when it was released and I want to experience that again. I don't want a slightly improved BC2 because I already have BC2.

Also why are the colors so messed up in every video? Does the game actually look like that? Even during daylight half of the screen is completely black. Huge contrast or something.

flashlgihts

Pretty sure regular infantry would have them as well, can't see why it would be engineer specific.

 

[Tefal]

it said before that only engineers have them and that they can "dazzle" enemies if shone into their eyes.

lol that Canadain mod, he's more in to the sims than battlefield, wouldn't go on anything he says.

Well that blows chunks. So hunting down enemies in dark corners is an engineers job it seems. =/

News gets better how does 100% health regen grab you, may as well do away with medics, it's call of battlefield 3.

Thought I would make a thread about this.

After being damaged, it it takes exactly 15 seconds before you start to heal yourself.

The rate at which you heal yourself is roughly 10% per second.

This was taken form alpha trial gameplay.

it was also 100% in bc2, just took a bit longer at a slower rate.

 

[ben1977]

who here thinks bf3 can work as a Tournament?

is there any groups planning on starting up a bf3 Tournament in the uk?

Simple answer is to not play it then
I for one am still looking forward to BF3, I've not hyped myself up into a stupor over the footage, I'll just enjoy the finished product.
I find it odd that people whine about COD being the same stuff recycled year in year out, yet the BF crowd want this for BF3?
