Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

[Evilsod]

The gamplay trailer & screens have shown multi-story buildings, one even collapses, so I don't know what the guy is on about.

In a blatantly scripted collapse, yes. Almost certainly part of SP. Hasn't there been mention of an earthquake in 1 of the MP maps? If so that will also be scripted.

It might not even be possible to get inside the whole building, could be ladders/fire exit staircases upto the roof. Could be only the first few floors are accessible, they might be destructable entirely, it might just be the exterior that can be destroyed, they may or may not be collapsable.

Honestly if i had to decide right now as to whats more likely to happen i'd say its more likely these multi-story buildings are either inaccessible or only the rooftop is reachable and that they can't be destroyed. Perhaps only the exterior if part of its accessible but if its rooftop only it won't be at all.

I thought the collapse we saw in the vid wasn't scripted and has been confirmed to be in the game by a dev on twitter?

I'm quoting a section from a post by Neil79 from earlier;

@zh1nt0 will we be able to bring down buildings in MP like shown in SP with earthquake or it's an animation made only for this SP mission?
@cartman37 That is the general idea of the new engine, yes

The EVENT was scripted - if you listen to the audio, it's another earthquake, that's what brought it down.

It is official that there will be destructible buildings in the game (both single and multiplayer), however, no one but the devs themselves know the extent to which mayhem could be brought upon the masses

lo lat that answer.


Q:Will this be in mp or just sp?


a:Yes

 

[Squark]

Yeah, all he confirmed was that there would be building destruction.

Personally I think that particular collapse was scripted

It was scripted, it was mentioned in a couple of press articles a couple of weeks before the footage was recorded at gdc.

 

[Eerazer]

Rose tinted goggles there mate.

Hehe. Yeah he didn't acknowledge anything but 'there is building destruction'.

I find it hard to believe that EVERY building will be destructable and equally as hard to believe that you will have access to EVERY building. I just don't see it being likely (yes this is aimed at all you drooling campers out there) that a 10 story building is going to be completely open to you, especially if there are several of them.

 

[titaniumx3]

I prefer they have larger more varied buildings that are semi-destructable, rather than midget buildings that all look the same, a la BC2.

Hope DICE don't get too carried away with the destruction effects in BF3 and go back to the core gameplay mechanics that made BF2 so sucessful.

Just played an awesome game of BF2 on Karkand, and despite having played this map a million times, it was still incredibly fun.

 

[~>Dg<~]

quote me on this on release it will be same spec as bfbc2

the footage they showing u will be scripted single player cause it will look more impressive for eg collapsing building.

i keep badgering a certain person but no news yet


what this bf3 needs to do is have the big intense battles of bf series but also the great close quarter battles of cod . if it can do that then it will be great.

 

[maforduk]

Large tank battles like Modern Combat would be great

 

[LeJosh]

Would I be too hopeful for long range artillery vehicles?

Maybe a mod will take care of it.

With which tools?

 

[Voltage]

desert combat was the best Battlefield has ever been.

The sheer amount of vehicle choice was incredible.

I too would love to have Scuds and MRLS again wont happen though.

I bet you get like 10 vehicles tops with BF3

Hehe.... bumping thread.

Where has every1 pre-ordered their copy from? Need to get the limited edition asap?

 

[~>Dg<~]

shouldnt this thread be merged as it is the lesser

 

[[TFU] Thegoon84]

shouldnt this thread be merged as it is the lesser

So was the offical BC2 thread when it started, now look at it! Eventually it will all flow in to one

 

[Zefan]

This thread is a bit too outdated now, going to rename the other tread and close this one.

:Edit: Had a change of heart

Going to merge these

 

[~>Dg<~]

this is why to me red orchestra 2 could be THE game when it comes out .

12 different mods being worked on now! before game even out


so many different , new things thats not been in fps games before that im actually excited about this rather than the household bread games like we roughly know bf3 and cod will be.

i do secretly hope one of the big games will have the right blend but thats the thing they sell on how they are . cod close quarter battles and bf bigger large scale warfare.
