And isn't this the footage that was already released a couple of weeks back that DICE/EA were trying to get taken down ? From the developers conference iirc.

Dont get time to look through all the spam in BF3 thread, so without these I would miss the video.

Same here. I would have missed it as well.

I always click the What's New button and read the thread title. There's no point reading the "Battlefield 3" thread every time some makes a new post. However a new thread like this brings important information to my attention.

Well done frankytanky.

Thanks for the links to the vids and bring on the 17th

Looks like there's no LMG overheat, and that spare ammo is stored as bullets instead of clips. Lame.

Hope that is because the vid is based on a pre-release alpha.

[mattnz]

Hopefully. I think with the overheat they're looking to get away from HUD indicators, so maybe that might be a part of it. I thought the overheating indications in BC2 were too subtle though, for beginners anyway.

[Aloysius]

Is that april 17th vid just going to be 12 mins of SP with voiceover if we're lucky?
I want some MP vidya

[brucewillis2]

I totally need some MP videos, shots of the jets bombing, tanks rolling over hills, commander screen, the hud, infantry action, kit selection, airstrikes, flythrough of a map (and if I see one big linear map full of choke points I'll probably punch my screen)

[Emrico1]

We need to get an open source FPS going, where everyone chips in and builds the damn thing, no more 'they should' but 'we should'.

I will start with the idea of the open source FPS. FREE open-source community game.

Now, what do we call it?

Who cares about single player which you'll only play through once or twice, multiplayer is where the hundreds/thousands of hours are spent.

[kilabee]

I suspect as many of you guys do that this game will never come close to expectations.
I have my fingers crossed though but this slow building of hype makes me think its going to be a money grab.

[FRAG-em]

yep bring on fall, assuming fall 2011 and not 2012

[Spork]

They should have released a video today of multiplayer, without dedicated servers, no commander, no squads, and no player controlled vehicles.

Oh and showing off the awesome power of the mighty G36E

BRING BACK THE BOATS.

I have high hopes for this actually being good. I didn't expect BC2 to be any good but damn was I wrong... it can only get better I guess and since it's lead by the same guy that's been around for all of the bf games (I think), it should be ok. Have faith fellas!

[O-L-W-A-G]

frag=choke point fixer

[Pho3n1x]

One frag can clear chokepoints guise. Throwing frags is heaps fun. Itz wat beef is all about.

[Obble]

cryphakon grew up in a p lab, i can tell.

[brucewillis2]

frag=choke point fixer

Ahhhhh right... one frag. I think you might be confusing this game for CoD where there are no vehicles. In the BF series there are vehicles and a frag will simply bounce off. Or a chopper where you can't really throw that high. And OMG when bombers get introduced and they still have those choke points *shudders*. Not only that each side of most choke points are open and snipers love staying back where your nade can't reach.

So your advice to throw a nade will not solve bad map design.

[O-L-W-A-G]

Most maps have a choke point (built for 24 player) half of those maps are infantry based. Since when is a chopper part of choke point? It can shoot down but it cant stay still forever let alone see through cover.Valpriso, Isla Inocentes, and Port Valdez are pretty much the only bad ones where you have major chokepoints and vechiles, Port Valdez being the worst having only one way through between each of the five sections.

[5tacK]

I hope BF3 doesn't scare all the CS and CoD players away with decent size maps.

Ok, I'm going to try and explain this as best as I can why I wouldn't want so many choke points like BC2 have (not the new maps, they're good)

BF2 did not have that many choke points and you could approach any flag from multiple directions from multiple spawn points. This was great as it wasn't some big cluster fuck nade throwing competition. You could use very basic tactics and flank your opponents forcing the other team to draw people off the 'frontline'. Sharqi and going for the TV station is a prime example. The only occasions where this didn't work was when one team was stacked with clan mates or high ranked players.

A chopper isn't part of the choke point, but it can certainly spam one with it's guns at range. your 1 nade trick won't work against something 500m away blasting the area with a 30mm.

I can understand why they designed the maps this way. To increase the action around single points but also to maybe steal over some CoD players that used to love that kind of close high paced chaos. I do not want that all the time. I like prefer squading up with 5 people on VOIP and attacking backflags and being a pain in the ass for the enemy, not running around throwing down ammo packs for a bunch of nade chuckers.

[O-L-W-A-G]

We both want the same thing no chokepoints, but what I'm saying is (and what one of the interviewees at dice was saying) there is a counter for everything. chokepoint->engie->chopper->nade->chokepoint

[Pho3n1x]

In that case why even make chokepoints?

[Dr Woomanchu]

We both want the same thing no chokepoints, but what I'm saying is (and what one of the interviewees at dice was saying) there is a counter for everything. chokepoint->engie->chopper->nade->chokepoint

He may say that, but pub server play is not an ideal world. Choek points encourage static play style. A tactic never used may as well not be there.

[brucewillis2]

We both want the same thing no chokepoints, but what I'm saying is (and what one of the interviewees at dice was saying) there is a counter for everything. chokepoint->engie->chopper->nade->chokepoint

Yeah there is a counter for everything. But like Dr Woochu says with pub play it's very difficult to counter it with a coordinated attack, we are just a bunch of randoms afterall. Maybe with a good version of VOIP this might change.

Another thing some of those counters are difficult to do. Shoot down a chopper with a rocket perhaps dart it up/flares/dart it again. Not sure about you but I find it very difficult to dart a moving target 500m away.

[O-L-W-A-G]

It would also help if people didn't wookie *pugak*

[Kopfjaeger]

It will be interesting to see what the devs do about the wookie class. Every 2nd thread on the EAUK forums is about wookie hatin', not that the devs will take much notice.

[Bane]

If they have any sence they'll replace the "Wookie" class with the 2142 style "Recon" he still had a sniper rifle available, but had SMG's aswell.

[Pe_Pa_Possum]

the ironsights and the red-dot don't match up at all. How does that work?

They're not meant to line up. Works in the same way as a scope

[mattnz]

If they have any sence they'll replace the "Wookie" class with the 2142 style "Recon" he still had a sniper rifle available, but had SMG's aswell.

Twas a carbine, but I don't think it's that different now. Wookie has access to battle rifles, shotguns, and an SMG.

[private_hell]

give the wookies bright pink gillie suits - that way if they stay still they die first

[brucewillis2]

They can't do anything about the wookie class. It would turn people away from the game if they limit numbers allowed per match. Just look at how many snipers each team would have in an average game - 40-50%? sometime more.

They weren't that popular due to the hit reg in Bf2, but now (and he's the thing that pisses me off about them) When you're an attacker on rush mode you have all these snipers sitting up on the hills not doing a fuckin thing to arm the bomb. So normally its just a few rambos attacking against the entire enemy team.

We need a commander mode with the UAV and scan so the commander can spot those cowardly snipers hiding in the hills not helping at all.

[Dr Woomanchu]

^^ don't play rush . problem solved ;)

[Mr_St1nky]

^and drop vehicles on them?

[Kopfjaeger]

IMO the Sniper class should be removed and replaced with a Designated Marksman kit that uses a a high calibre/ heavy recoil rifle like the M1A SOCOM /SVD/ accurized M15 w/10x scope and Bino's. Such a kit might actually be an asset to a squad giving defenders something to worry about while the rest of the squad tries a flanking attack on a flag etc.

[mattnz]

Yup coz no one would hang back with that.

[brucewillis2]

^^ don't play rush . problem solved ;)

I don't anymore but even when playing conquest and the enemy have capped all the flags while your team has created a nice circle around the edges of the map.

OMG snipers why are they so popular?! If only they knew how much fun it is to get right in the middle of all the fights. adrenaline rushing, chaos, running and ducking for cover... ahhh good times.

I blame all those sniper movies and call of duty.

[kilabee]

Get rid of K/D stats might help overall game play.

[5tacK]

Snipers are only a problem in the latest console ports because of small maps and a lack of vehicles.

[Pho3n1x]

Get rid of K/D stats might help overall game play.

I hope BF3 shows caps/defends or plants/defuses on the scoreboard like Black Ops did. If Dice add little incentives like that (along with higher xp for objectives etc) and add voip, a lot of the hangbacks will go away. There will always be that one wookie on the hill though

[O-L-W-A-G]

Hmmm or no stats at all that would get rid of alot of things

[BROX]

Like 90% of the playerbase? :P

totally agree about the annoyance of chokepoints in BC2 on rush. Port Valdez is a joke unless your team is awesome, and then it sucks for anyone on the other team. That second checkpoint is horrific.

I like the idea of maps where players have to push forward through flags in a certain natural order (like karkand). However I there should always be the option of being able to go around the back and flank.

I dont think anyone wants maps like kubra damn or wetlands back. Those were fucking stupid. The 64 player bf2 maps were pretty bad as they lacked the cohesion of maps like sharqi, karkand and mashtuur.

[Machpants]

I love kubra and I am not alone.

[Dr Woomanchu]

Kubra was hell fun for arsing about. Definitely a large number of classic BF2 memories from that map.

I don't find the 2nd that bad, compared to the 3rd and 4th. It's even worse on conquest..

As long as they're just testing shit out for BF3, that's okay though.

[Cowwie]

I love kubra and I am not alone.

Ditto+

Never found it dull with a decent number of players on it + always tried to plan ahead so i didn't have to spend to much time waiting around, totally enjoyed the heli armour infantry combat even tho the latter tended to not happen as much as other maps, if anything the only thing i hated was when the other team had total domination of the air, but even then taking back mecs base was intense fun when one pulled it off .

[brucewillis2]

I like maps like mashy where the flags are set in a square formation, At anytime you could choose between 2-3 flags to attack next, and could circle around them enemy.

[Mr_St1nky]

speaking of having a mashy...you still haven't talked to me about that art book...useless pleb.

[brucewillis2]

speaking of having a mashy...you still haven't talked to me about that art book...useless pleb.

do you still have it?

[BROX]

I loved 16p Kubra, didn't play the 64p version too much. Really disliked some of the big 64p maps like Zatar, just felt like I was constantly being bombed the shit out of by jets/choppers.

Is there any word on whether BF3 is copying BF2 in the way it resized maps according to player size? I generally always preferred the close combat of the 16p or 32p maps in BF2 with a few exceptions like Karkand, Sharqi, Mashuur etc on 64p.

[BushySB]

Bf3 will have the biggest maps they have ever made

[Emrico1]

The really big maps are where I had the fondest memories of BF2 tbh.

In the early days before the jets and helos were exploited, it was epic.

[BerG]

Yep, was so good before TV missiles and jets were super powerful.

Fucking TV missiles kill the game in 1.5

[brucewillis2]

I think I had the most fun on wake even though I can't stand flying those jets and can only really pilot a blackhawk. Always enjoyed Oman, mashy, sharqi, dalian plant

the others were ok but once pilots started getting a shit load better my lifespan on the ground was drastically shortened, stingers were not effective at all against a good pilot. They need to give the engineers something that can take out pilots.

[Benji77]

Apparently we need to unlock the full video by liking bf3 on facebook

chances are there will be a high res version uploaded by someone on monday on youtube.

But I'm all good about using facebook to promote the their game, I'll unlock it.

The facebook page only give to the choice between tiny, and the big as 1.8 gig download, lol.


Was cool though.

[Spork]

I decided to check out the 1.8gigger, which probably isn't a good idea as I only have 15gb for the rest of the month. (well until the 26th).

Getting real good speeds though 1.1-1.5.

[Spork]

Fuu, I clicked save as, so it saved onto my C drive, but I ran out of space with like 20mb left! ffs.. Theres a wasted 1.6gig.

Just watched the low quality version on Youtube, looks fucking sick as bro! Although you would think they would get someone who has played an FPS before to use the character featured in the video, I mean that bloke was an idiot!

Oh hey look I'm just gonna stand out here looking at the sniper.

'theres an rpg on that roof!'

Oh hey look at that! Oh.. he shooting at me, ah..

Just to name a couple.

[Emrico1]

Why?

Poor use of cover mostly. He moved in the open so badly.
He'd be getting shot and stay in the same spot, then fire at another target altogether which is sure fire death on any fps. When he was on the the machine gun his target selection was horrid and sporatic.
His aim was spray in the direction at best. Terribad.

Yea, I'm no pro, but even I could tell that if that was online, dude would have had a crap kdr.

[Spacemonkey]

It's a single player game.

There no point in comparing the behaviour of a single player game to a multiplayer game.

Anyway, it was clear that the position of the player was use to get a good view of the other soldiers, like the rooftop for example. As to show off the character animation.

Yes and no.
I play SP lazy sure. But I still move through cover out of habit and especially spend a lot more time lining up the headshots because I can.
This guy was just clueless, that bit with the light MG was just painful SP or 12yo.

[Machpants]

game looks rock awesome though, nice to see it at full res

[Pho3n1x]

[Spork]

Yea, I wasn't saying anything bad at all about the game by saying that bloke was useless at playing it, I was just insulting his less than leet skills.

Will be interesting to see what sort of a destructible environment there actually is, I mean when he shot at the sniper, it blew a huge hole in the side of the building, would be awesome if you can do that to all buildings.

[brucewillis2]

that better stop doing that right now, pulling some stupid marketing facebook crap to get 12mins of the same shit we've being seeing over the last month.

I reckon the VOIP will work, mostly because it is being developed on PC first. Then ported to consoles.
I am also seeing how many times I can post that here.

[Spork]

I think I have heard of a feature they are implementing where there will be no commander, however each Squad Leader will have certain options available, and they will also be able to speak between the other Squad Leaders - so it will be more like the SLs are mini commanders.

Instead of artillery you should just be able to mark targets for aircraft. Big bonus points if the pilot bombs the area you targetted.

[Spork]

Yea, well most of my BC2 days were spent in tanks or other vehicles, and bloody snipers can see you from a mile off, and yet are able to plant you with the stupid mortar things from even further away. There is one map, don't know which, however one team starts back in the closest town, and the other starts pretty well in the middle of no-where, and starts with 3 or 4 tanks, but they are impossible to get into the town as snipers park themselves up ontop of the closest rock infested hill and spend their whole time setting up mortar strikes.

[MasterPetey]

still cant beat a good commander role tho...
or atleast be that dude in the beginning on the video handing out the orders..

There is one map, don't know which, however one team starts back in the closest town, and the other starts pretty well in the middle of no-where, and starts with 3 or 4 tanks, but they are impossible to get into the town as snipers park themselves up ontop of the closest rock infested hill and spend their whole time setting up mortar strikes.

Sounds like you're just bad tbh :>

Tanks, planes and choppers key ingredients.

I'm keen to find out if theres a commo rose, if there will be WORKING VOIP and if you could even talk between squad leaders maybe.

Instead of artillery you should just be able to mark targets for aircraft.

except armor should have multispectral smoke to defeat laser designator and LWR to indicate general direction of the laser emitter - most modern MBTs have these defence mechanisms

The aim is to create balance, not set up so armor/air whores can find their corner to sit in and stay up all map. It's a game not rl
