I know that the MP footage is edited to give you a pretty skewed view of the game, but it does look good. I do like the visceral appeal of the BF games

[Stalker]

The graphics are fantastic, especially in the SP scenes.

The MP seems a lot like BC2 to me. I hope they improved the gunplay in this one.

I like the fact that they added full body awareness for those moments when you jump over walls and obstacles. It adds to the immersion.

I disliked Bad Company 2 and Medal of Honor - both games were horrible console ports - but I must admit that this game has tickled my interest.

@Stalker: Apparently they mixed the MP trailer with footage from the PC and console.

I'm guessing that PC footage starts at 0:23 and lasts for a second, then starts again at 0:28 through the duration of the train carriage scene, and then again at 0:33 up until the end.

Wonder how optimized the game would be. I had stutters here and there on some fight scenes in Crysis 2. Now I am playing Witcher 2, which IMO is graphically superior to C2 and it does not suffer from any stutters. I think its due to the fact that it was designed for PC from ground up although they have an 360 version coming up. BF3 would not be so much focused on the PC I suppose. I am fearing that I might have to upgrade my VGA for the full BF3 experience :(

DICE have stated a few times that PC is the lead platform, so I'm assuming that it'll be pretty well optimised (hopefully that also means good scaling).

[Wanderer]

DICE have indeed said that they will be making BF3 for PC and then from that getting it for consoles. So it's gonna be designed for the platform that has the most power and then they are gonna work on it for the consoles. And not the other way around where we get the poor pc-ports...

That dinosaur at the start was indeed a stab at CoD Btw

Yeah, but atleast your first person isn't a set of Michael J Fox arms.

It's also not going to be moddable.

It's too complex for us.

Then they better make it so good that there is no need to mod it

Seriously, though, it's looking great, which also raises my expectation quite a bit. MW3, I just hope the SP can finish the plot, but as for BF3, looking forward to a full immersion experience.

So Andy McNab is writing a novel to co-incide with the release of battlefield 3
Did not see this coming, (as so far zero has been revealed about BF3's single player, other than it will exist) but the author could not be more fitting.

Considering that this guy's an ex-SAS I'm feeling good about the storyline or at least the military specs, even though haven't heard this guy before >.>

[Raven]

His original book Bravo Two Zero about his real life experience about being captured by the Iraqi Army during Desert Storm is brilliant.

Alpha footage getting leaked all over the shit




The subway is a great looking map, tho I hope they do have at least a couple sprawling open maps, since so far all ive seen is these small ones...

They need to really wind down the lighting contrast, its far too sharp in the outside parts

More videos here

Knife as a weapon is back. Hell yeah!

[Destiny]

Anyone notice how weird the AK sounds?

[CJ]

Most of the audio was choppy, and some of the sounds were cutting in the middle. TBH, I wouldn't judge the audio yet D:
