I know it's singleplayer but you can see toggle fire mode

RavenXXX2 · 16 Apr 2011 at 15:11

Of course you can, if the weapon in real life can do it, it will be faithfully replicated in the game.

That's how it works in COD single player, it's a linear short lived distraction from the multi only put in to keep the console crowd happy, I probably won't even touch single player.

Same as!

Meh trailer was just what we've seen already stitched together and padded out. I want more detail on those last 20 seconds where we see the tanks the aircraft.

It's pre-alpha and 6 months away!

Also what's with the AI?, pretty much the entire time was the player doing the work... Is that how the battlefield works, you just kill and blow everything up while your squad mates hide?

Maybe they're having a problem with the hit reg

It's not a console port, 64 player v 24 says it all, Dice will deliver the best PC BF yet.

No point trying to say its not a console port, some people are insistent that if its on console at all or not exactly how they like it, it must be a console port.

Just curious, someone mentioned building heights will be reduced from the size they were on bf2 mp maps, anyone got a link to this?

Squark · 16 Apr 2011 at 16:41

How awesome does this shot look though?!

Neil79 · 16 Apr 2011 at 16:42

Yes cutscenes usually do

hope it ain't a crappy console port

LOL

Those videos sure look pretty and not shiny for once but single player is of little interest to me in a battlefield game, any multiplayer footage around?

Am sure Rogue Spear and ghost recon and games like that which we all loved probably over 10 years ago? and they had prone, leaning round corners, changing fire mode etc etc, I dont know why they have took these features out of games, and now they seem to be putting them back in.

I hope you can lean round corners with Q and E in BF3.

Wow, that trailer is AWESOME. Yeah, we've seen a lot of it before, but my God I am seriously impressed so far!

RavenXXX2 · 16 Apr 2011 at 17:40

That's my BF3 career right there, cannon fodder beware!

Neil79 · 16 Apr 2011 at 17:41

Ahhh memories of BF2. All the plane noobs sitting around base waiting for one to spawn.
