Did anyone notice if any squad leader specific attributes were available.
Since there's no commander I was wondering if any of the commander functions had been allocated to the squad leaders specifically

Originally you could only spawn on squad leaders, but it didnt work most of the time. However i think they are changing that to anyone now. Other than extra bonus point for team play and killing one, thats your lot as a SL, at the minute that is.

Balance it by making every fucking gun practically the same in stats like they did in BC2.

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

How does everybody feel about suppressed snipers and LMGs?
Kind of nullifies the point of having them at all tbh. And can you even suppress lmgs in RL?
Anything is possible. The guys on the discovery channel with the tv show called "Sons of Guns" suppressed a MK19. So why not? All i silencer is is just a tube to better filter the blast of the weapon so the gasses don't erupt out, instead it kinda flows out.

I thought a suppressed LMG would wear out the baffles too fast to be practical

In BC2 it was all about damage that made the guns slightly different.

In BF3 it should have a lot more to do with the recoil of the weapon. If the person using it controls it with burst or changes the fire rate, this should make it good in some peoples hands, but not necessarily in others. For example if you want spray and pray with it then hopefully you will hardly hit anything. This would make skill a factor and not just who shoots first wins, and make everyone not using the same weapon in each class.

the word from PAX is that 3d spotting has been removed.

I certainly hope BF3 will revert to map spotted à la Battlefield 2.

Depends on the center. Some of them are actually fun to go to with buddies. Back in college, we used to choose between the bowling alley or one of those places.

I'd have to say that I prefer bowling or shooting if I'm going out by myself.

someone on the EA forums who went says it still there, the triangle disappears when that person moves behind cover, even a hedge now make it disappear.

Just saw that you can customise the load out of jets - Now that is a good idea.

This could be really, really bad if they implement some kind of rock paper scissors system

Not sure how it will work but this is the video - skip to 10:58 for the BF3 section.

not sure if this has been covered before but I like the fact that you can only look where the pilot would be able to see when piloting

i found it stupid that you could change the camera views to see behind you while piloting (or tank, etc.)

was the same (although bugged) in BF2 as well

EDIT: or do you mean the forced cockpit view?

wait. there was the normal cockpit view when you got in the plane but pressing 'C' would cycle through the other views so you could see all around you in ways the pilot IRL would never be able to.

It appears in that video that you can only look around in the cockpit in such a way a real pilot would be able to. So not directly behind like pressing 'C' 3 times would produce.

I didn't play the alpha so I don't know. I'm just going off the video 2 posts up

I don't want a realistic game. So being limited to cockpit view would be so shitty.

you've always been able to see around the cockpit in BF2. Press ctrl and move you mouse around while sat in the cockpit gave you a good look around i think it was 180 degree vision. But most people just removed cockpit view anyway.

also why would you need to press C three time, i used to put middle mouse button to rear view for immediate change of view. Then use the thumb mouse button for back to cockpit view.

yes i know m+k pilot were faygits, i couldnt be arsed to learn with a joystick.

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
