I'm actually worried about the reception of this game from the pc gamers. Knowing their childish moaning hard to please attitude, i hope dice don't abandon the platform and make ports like the rest of the devs.

Would you moan if they remade the rx7 into a fwd hatchback?

No but why can't we play as UK, Canada, Germany or any other NATO force? How about KFOR/IFOR I'm not aware of a Balkan based shooter.

I'll tell you why not. Its because those isolationist Americans have probably never heard of Bosnia or anything other than WWII, Vietnam, Cold war, Iraq, Afghanistan and probably wouldn't buy a shooter where you didn't play some awful oohrah yankee retard.

For dice that stems from before the bad company 2 launch, Gordan Van Dyke made the call for the devs to not post on the official forums as much and since that its just been twitter. Slightly pathetic that the official forum is near devoid of official replies from developers and you have to go to a third party "trend of the moment" site to get info.

They need and (and want) an irc channel like splash damage did. Sadly EA won't allow it, twitter is probably the next best thing.
 
I can honestly say this is the game I'm most looking forward to. Probably ever. I'd be happy with BC2, but lots more vehicles and massive maps. I also hope they get make flying choppers a bit more user friendly.

BC2 was too friendly in terms of flying so I hope not
 
Liking the change of day time shots, should bring some really nice changes to the gameplay.

That is one of the things I do like in BC2 already, having the different modes have the maps at different times of day.
The difference in White pass between conquest and SQDM is great

I'm not sure the animation will make a massive difference to performance, especially when you consider they are obviously suitable to be run on comparatively steam driven console hardware. Yes, when you crank the graphics right up there might be some issues, but the animation side of it is something that's going to be shared across all platforms, so I think it's safe to assume that the performance impact of whatever improvements they've brought should be minimal.

This is a good point by Zefan - certainly brute-forcing animation as alluded to by drunkenmaster is an issue, but only when you are applying it with the same technique.

Surely if you have a new engine with a completely new and optimised method of handling animation, it is likely that the performance hit will be much lower? This is pure speculation with regard to BF3 obviously.

Personally I hope they make aircraft less user friendly :)

It seems to work quite well for 22 men kicking a ball around without performance issues. Though football games dont have all the particle effects and other stuff going at the same time.

I just want independent controls for everything like on battlefield 2. My poor cyborg evo is sitting unused since bf2 :(. Not too fussed if they are hard to fly or not, would be nice to have a balance , easy enough to keep in the sky, but hard to master. At least that way you wouldn't have people crashing a perfectly good jet into the side of a hill.
