Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Yes stolen, old, footage, and they sound like they barely know what they're talking about... what a terrible stream

 

[aidan444]

It's just a Q&A from people at the event. Not a stream of gameplay.

 

[VaderDSL]

I did read a comment, not sure if it was from the hosts, that they will have footage uploaded after the event at some point.

 

[aidan444]

Changed the minimap so it's like BF2! Brilliant news! It was horrific in the beta.

Those mothercluckers


nevermind, my dsl is pausing the video every second anyway. awesome

Ok, so Mortars OP?

1 UAV to spot

OP?

 

[VaderDSL]

overpowered considering it sounds like it's just click on map, drop HE rounds. If you have good spotters it sounds like it will be ridiculously easy to get kills?

love the fact that the perks stack in a squad, so if one has the sprint perk then all 4 in the group get the benefit.

Means peeps will be able to change perks to benefit the group

Missed that but sounds good IF they give us a squad management system I really need to get a PC and get this game.

Only if you have squad sprint, etc.

I love the squad perks too but I don't get why they bring these new features to the table but completely forget about the basic squad building functions, we can only wait and see.

Lol onething I find hilarious is the repairing of tanks by using that repair tool alone.

For all we know the tank might be missing few internal parts after being hit but it all gets fixed by 'welding' the tank exterior.

 

[sharpygsxr]

well as the video footage was old i just minimize the feed and listen to the audio and its nice to hear from people playing it.

Certainly sounds like there have been a lot of fixes and updates since the open beta build

There is an extent to which you need to keep it unrealistic, we're hardly going to be playing Battlefield repair shop

20min break now till the next "guest", kinda says enough about bf3 hype that ill put myself through this just to get any kind of info pre release

Then 1 guy comes along and kills all of them because they're unable to defend themselves while on the mortar, sounds fine to me.

Shame about no live video, but on the other hand, it's going to be nice to hold out and not see any more new stuff until it's installed and i'm playing it, not sure if i'll be able to hold out though, lol.

Lol

Imagine if it was fully realistic indeed. The game would lose it's functionality
