[QUOTE=GiggityGoo;30217200]Would it be cool if, when you die, you see yourself fall to the ground in first person?[/QUOTE] I thought they did this in the BC2 beta and it fucked up royally because the arms would be buggy as shit?

Don't know if it's been posted, but they are showing BF3 multiplayer at E3. [url]http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2011/06/03/bf3-goes-to-e3.aspx##[/url] [b]EDIT:[/b] Motherfucking ninja fuck

I don't like the sound of Team Deathmatch.

[QUOTE=Black0ut;30221502]I don't like the sound of Team Deathmatch.[/QUOTE] Obligatory DONT PLAY IT.

Special edition from EA origin is going to be stupid. No doubt it will come with something exlusive, but won't come with the Warfare Pack. Oh wow "temporarily disable vehicles, go prone, mount weapons, lay down suppressive fire" those sound awesome. I hope they are for multiplayer and not just singleplayer.

[QUOTE=Black0ut;30221502]I don't like the sound of Team Deathmatch.[/QUOTE] Why not? The original BF1942 and BF:V both had TDM.

All that image shows is that MW3 is using new and incomplete assets in its trailer, since MW1 and 2 mags had bullets.

It worries me however that they keep on announcing features that make it closer and closer to a Call of Duty game i.e. "At the same time, we are also able to create more intense close-quarter combat than ever before.

Theres always been intense close combat, but only on those types of maps. Karkand, Sharqi and Mashtuur (I miss that map) all had close quarter combat, karkand in particular.

CQC always seemed lacking in BF2 (grenade spam everywhere); hopefully BF3 improves upon that aspect. As for TDM mode, it's not like we have to play it or they are removing Conquest (if they did, well... they won't); variety is good, the same old same old gets boring after a lot of play time. Quite frankly, I don't see anything that would make BF3 worse. Also, @ that BF3/MW3 mag comparison picture: Aside from the missing bullet, BF3 general looks better (imo); which in itself is telling.

I suppose those are some fair points. I just think it's puzzling having a TDM mode in a game which is TDM anyway.

Snip late.

This thread makes me want to load up BF2 and play all night on Karkand with my trusty RPK.

I mean TDM will probably take a big role of eSport and Gameplay commentaries becuase people want to watch intense 15 minute fights instead of 40 minute tactical gameplay. If you don't like it, don't play it but I'm sure alot of people will like it. When playing BC2 I sometimes turned it off, played some intense MW2 for about 10 minutes then got back to BC2, and now we can have that in BF3

[QUOTE=cyanidem;30218677]Dunno, DICE tried that on Mirror's Edge and it looked rubbish, most of the time the camera ended up in a floating position. I liked BF2's 'flat on your back' view when you were shot, seeing the planes and choppers going past as you waited for a medic.[/QUOTE] It worked ok in Crysis. Though Crysis didn't show the arms so that could be an issue.

[QUOTE=Eggy;30214130]Weapon jamming was cool in Far Cry 2, wish they let you clean/repair the weapon instead of just throwing it out. If it were to be included in BF3 SP I think weapon jamming should happen more with enemy weapons to encourage people to stick with the weapon they're given.[/QUOTE] The Problem with that is detracts from the re-playability. If you use the same gun every time because it doesn't jam up there's much less verity and playing it again seems dull.

It's thanks to them and their "0mG so comp fr4GzZZ" that most shooters are all the same.

And while the concept of delayed gratification applied inside a videogame of all things (which is yet another form of gratification after all) might appear weird at first, consider the element of suspense that's applied in other forms of entertainment such as movies and books.

I kind of like Battlefield for that, as if you stick with your squad and run around capturing conquest flags you could be ambushed at any given time. It adds a feeling of "oh shit" and makes it so much more intense than running around like a headless chicken.

[QUOTE=wombo;30147632]I already got a new PC build ready to order in my Newegg cart for $750(Around $680 after Mail & Rebate), I just need to get the money.[/QUOTE] I know pretty late, but don't pick parts until the day you order them. [editline]3rd June 2011[/editline] Also I played Battlefield Play4Free a lot the past weeks. They give out free trial codes for the purchasable weapons which is nice. However, it's really not that hard to woop ass with the regular weapons, even the default/starter ones. It's far from a grindfest too. I have both my soldiers near the level cap of 20.

Probably one of the reason I love Project Reality. I have gone up to an hour during some games while moving across the map. Knowing a massive gun fight can break out at any minute is pretty stressful. That and people listen to hold fire orders.

The one thing I always want a game company to give us is choice.
