There WILL be commo rose after all.

@L_Twin KM Troedsson

Oh BTW, like I just confirmed in my first interview: There will be a commo rose on PC in #BF3 but it's not in the build shown at #GamesCom.

Id seriously be worried if i was an infinity ward / sledgehammer dev right now. Its been brought big time by dice !

Commo Rose definitely confirmed.

F YES! BUY BUY

I believe they are flying an A10 in that video as I believe when the 'unidentified' jet fires, it looks to be a mini gun under the nose?

Edit, ignore, don't think it's an A10

Problem is though the cod fans don't seem to be swayed by anything, they just want their reskin and simplified gameplay year in year out =/

I really doubt theres much dice can do to sway a large number of pre-programmed drones to jump ship, even though everyone knows BF3 looks by far the better game.

Totally agree.

Anyone reading the offical forums? Lot of whinging about jets flying too low and too slow. Nobodys ever heard of Afterburners it seems.

gropingmantis · 16 Aug 2011 at 17:17

Quite frankly with commo rose and that trailer I don't really give a **** that it requires Origin. I need this! Will get the gf to buy it though so EA don't get any of my money

. Where is the best place to pre-order? I know the rainforest gets Specact but do they also get Karkand and the PWP?

OK, serious question:

Do you think BF3 will run OK (medium?) with a GTX 460 768MB, 2.33GHz Quad Core (Q8200) and 8GB RAM running at 1680*1050?

I'm going to quote myself because hell, why not!

LeJosh · 16 Aug 2011 at 17:20

I hope origin runs better than Steam, I'm not a fan of steam's performance overall.

Granted, it's to do with my PC too but I keep it as clean as I can... usually.

B&W · 16 Aug 2011 at 17:20

Just sweet talked the EA live chat support, got myself a discount 20% off bf3

Neil79 · 16 Aug 2011 at 17:20

I'm not a fan of origin

But from the reviews origin and steam use the same amount of resources!

I DONT CARE IF THIS IS A REPOST

COMMO-ROSE CONFIRMED!

Woooooo

Gerard · 16 Aug 2011 at 17:21

So the AP shells for Tanks, Anti Personnel or Armour Piercing? Whats more likely?

peterattheboro · 16 Aug 2011 at 17:21

OMG OMG OMG

Glad I preordered this last night

Jet footage looked absolutley epic. I might have to invest in a joystick.

The thing is if there's no dedicated servers i reckon a lot of people will be gone from that franchise

Armor Piercing against APCs?

I can't see it being Anti-Personnel with the mounted gun being there. (no idea if that alt machine gun will be there)

You not think the pace of the jets and the helicopters look slow?

It's going to be a BC2:V fest of tanks shooting down aircraft!!

Hopefully beta will show much better speeds.

Next community request, SDK go!
