Think im gonna have to upgrade to a quad core for this game, bad company 2 really struggles on the big maps for me.

edit: meh consoles too, its never gonna be like it used to be :(
 
One of my main contentions is 6 man squads, four just aint enough...........

Doesnt look like there is commander which is a slight let down.

Mainly though, bring back the BF2/COD style movement, no more of what are essentially fat suits on your charector making everything very clumsy, that is the main thing for me.

-Yes, there will be spotting.
-Dolphin Diving is out. Period.
-Vehicle/Infantry balance is a focus for me, it will be awesome this time.
-No plans for ziplines or grapple hooks no.
-Yes, prone is on all platforms.
-BF3 will be deeper than BF2. That said we've paid a lot of attention to keeping depth while pacing the learning curve.
-BF3 is the sequel to BF2. It's not BC3.
-Friendly Fire will be an option, yes.
-No comment on commander.
-Yes, there is bullet drop. Doesn't work the same as BC2 though, it's a much deeper system.
-No, no tracer darts. That's a bit too BC and not enough BF.
-No, I won't confirm any vehicles from the teaser.
-One of the cities is Tehran... Yes, yes there will be sand.

My two most favourite games ever are Allied Assault and BF2. I remember when I was 15/16 and spending my saved birthday money on an ATI X800 XL so I could play BF2 on medium/high. Had some great times on that game. I used to be really into computer tech and that faded away after BF2 did. I always knew when BF3 came out I would get back into PC gaming. BF3 is blowing me away from the screenshots in that magazine just like BF2 once did. I remember following BF2 development and it was the best graphics I has ever seen. I also shown mates when I had it and it destroyed any other graphics they had seen and it wasn't even on max. I just made a thread in GH for a new system, I hope Dice do us proud, I'm sure they will..
 
So they're going to prevent dolphin diving. Does that mean they'll also make it so 50% of enemies you see in combat drop to the ground instantly without any penalties or will that actually be fixed too?
 
I remember the first time i installed the BF2 demo and played Gulf of Oman. My god it was something else.

My first and only 1000+ hour game :)

Lets hope BF3 is epic.
 
i rarely buy newly released games, let alone pre order, but bf3 is sounding like it might be one to break that trend. I just hope it has all the things that made bf2 so great. destructable buildings should be an interesting twist, especially on karkand
 
Is the possibility of a lack of Commander that big of a deal? Over on the official forum the fanboys are just about cacking themselves in rage over this. In BF2 it got annoying as hell having a Commander doing nothing but spamming "Enemy Infantry spotted" literally dozens of times on the same group of enemies.

By the time you were done with a half hour session in BF2 you would walk away and hear voices in your head spamming those commands.

And the call of "MEDIC" pretty much everytime someone dies!
