Looks outstanding.... with this sort of video looks like the MP will be great, love what they've done with the gun, in that it doesn't fill up all the screen, when you hit sum1 its a nice neat little X .... Very impressed.... we have a potential EPCI game here!!
I'VE ADDED VIDEO TO FRONT PAGE

We was happy about far cry, happy about BF1942, BF2, Half life 1 and 2 etc etc.

point is? make a good game, most will be happy. make a dumbed down console game, expect the majority to be unhappy.

simple mathmatics.

bf2 really..... i thought people went utterly nuts!!

I can tell this is going to be a console port or built from the console version which wont make it as good as it should be...

How do i know this???

Because EVERY single big new game sequel which first came out on the PC then the sequels that come out on the PS3/Xbox and PC SUCK... This Multiport support screws things up bigtime as they have to also focus on the Console side of things rather than throwing everything they have on the PC version.

I know its always about money but if they didnt have this also coming out for PS3/XBOX it would be an amazing game.

time will tell...

EDIT: forget it…

Anyone else sick of replies like this thinking they know what their talking about?

Well Dice did say bad company 2 was not going to be a console port and it was (still a good game though), so it isn't really surprising that people aren't listening to Dice.

The difference is BC1 was on console.... so bc2 was always going to be a port!!

Why is everyone saying it is a new engine? It is the same engine, they've just progressed it a bit.

Its a newengine, Frostbite 2

The new Frostbite engine is NOT 2.0 its:

frostbite 2

As all the DICE dev's have been twitting for the past 3 months....

Christ you're funny, firstly, it is not a new engine, they have not rebuilt it from scratch it has just been refined and improved from the last generation.

Furthermore, it is very funny to see you spouting all this crap when we look at your podting history, you are incredibly gullible and get drawn in by the pr machine of just about every fps out there, you were poating about black ops, moh and bc2 as though they would be the gaming nirvava a week before release, posting similar posts to this at anyone who dared to question these obvious facts, and then you were moaning about them a week later.

Just because devs say things it doesnt make them true, despite what you want to believe. Calm down and grow up.

Never did I say Black ops or MoH were going to be on the scale of BF3, what I said in previous threads was… People who put games down before they’ve even released or had a chance to mature just end up spoiling the chance of it being great!!

All of DICE’s tweets regarding bf3 might be totally lying and if that is the case then we’ve been incredibly let down. My arguments this thread have been people who are posting things which are the opposite of what the DEV’s themselves have actually been saying have no relevance!

Its typical for people to already have pre set assumptions. The problem is they have no relevance to thread and only seek to bring down would could be the next big thing!!

I totally disagree with: it is not a new engine, they have not rebuilt it from scratch it has just been refined and improved from the last generation… <---- So what your saying is the DEV's have been lying and you know better right?

It’s a new engine …… In other words…. Same Car new engine!

I loved BFBC & BFBC2 but the only thing that made me rage and eventually quit and HATE BFBC2 was how overpowered choppers are. and this one is gunna have jets also. I hope to hell this game has stinger missiles of some sort to force helicopters and such to fight amongst themselves and stick to helping their team push objectives and not camping bases and spawns where none of their team mates are at.

make the stinger land to air only, even if you could only pick them up and use them whenever u want but ONLY in your home base, it'd be so much better then BFBC2, and have traditional rpgs + AT4s for tanks and trucks etc.

I wouldn't worry to much about the hardware side (jets, choppers etc)... judging by the way BF2 is balanced will hopefully sort out hardware vs infantry scenario in bf3.... reason is if you've got jets and choppers in the air the opposing side should have same, which means jets and choppers wont have much time to attack the ground as they’ll need to take out opposing hardware.

Said to the wife last nite...

"Enjoy this time of me having a brake from the PC as when BF3 comes out you wont see my ass for dust!!!"

Reply, "Fair enough".

On another note i hope they bring the same medal and ranking system as BF2! Would spend hours trying to get badges etc

[TFU] Thegoon84 · 27 Jun 2011 at 13:38

I've been playing BF2 again on the hellgame server operation road rage.... loving it fair play. Getting myself used to using the X52 again ready for this beast!
