City maps were only invented because consoles could only cope with small gaming environments, although the developers/publishers would obviously pretend otherwise.

Karkand and Sharqi Peninsula say otherwise

He simply says, "We're making the best modern-era shooter ever made."

Dunno if this was posted here yet, but I'll post it again anyway if not:

Cat is out of the bag I guess... IGN confirmed it, yes, fire selector is in #BF3. Yes on all platforms.

1 good bit of news, finally. The choice between full auto, 3 shot burst and single shot.

Looks the business!

But I do have a few niggling feelings about this that could lead to fail:

-Looks like there is health regen...
-Ammo pool rather then magazines...

But it is pre-alpha so I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for now.

Man you guys are filled with so much negativity! I'm really looking forward to this and I enjoyed the campaign mode of BFBC2 very much. Yes MP will be the part of the game that provides the longevity, but I'm glad this has a SP part.

I just hope my rig can run it as I'm hoping not to upgrade until next year!

Impressive when the soldier steps on to the muddy bit of the ground and his foot kicks up a bit of dirt!

Its funny the little details that get noticed that add a ton to the immersion.

Looks awesome to me. I think the sound is probably one of the most important things to me and BF2/BC/BC2 all had great sound. This seems to be going down the same route.

Looking forward to some MP footage. So long as it isn't MOH and has 64 players then I don't care

It does look good, I have faith in the skills of the DICE team. However it will be nice to have jets back in the game.

Apparently confirmed by DICE, pulling/dragging friendlies out of danger wont be available in multiplayer.

Does that mean shock paddles?

I like the health set up in BC2 hardcore - doesn't regen if I remember right.

Hopefully they add a hardcore mode to BF3 or make that standard. I hate regenerating health.

I reckon they might make it standard in order to make medics more useful.

RavenXXX2 · 3 Mar 2011 at 08:39

Like BF2 Dice are going for certain amount of realism with BF3, BC2 was never like that so expect no regen health in multi.

jakejacob0 · 3 Mar 2011 at 08:40

this game is unreal

No it doesn't, but it's also easier to kill people on hardcore due to the damage increase which reduces the skill element. If health didn't regenerate on normal mode, then there really wouldn't be any need for various modes, and i reckon BF:3 will be similar to normal mode, but with no health regeneration.

If Dice do their job properly BF3 with have little in common with BC2 as possible but more BF2 influenced the game it's a direct sequel to.

I just don't want different modes, i really don't see the point.

RavenXXX2 · 3 Mar 2011 at 08:54

Point is BF3 will have little in common with BC2 and that includes modes that fragment the community.

I hope you're right.
