As much as I wish it could be flown, I think I'm alright with this. 4 people to man it fully, can't be repaired so it needs escort/protection...it could be a lot of fun.

could be, but you'll be relying an awful lot on your jets to not be morons. apparently the ac130 has an AA turret and flares though...

idk

when it dies it respawns, but it's tied into a flag or something

mobile arty is apparently not going to be a 'point and click' weapon. words 'challenging' and 'rewarding' being flashed around lol.

Q: "What height ceilings will there be in large Armored kill maps?"
A: *irritated face-expression*...uhm it'll be quite high for those players who likes to dogfight at high altitudes...so, uhm... it will be cool...

The relying on people not to be morons goes both ways.

I already cringe when people who shouldn't be flying take jets/helis up and effectively waste them...the AC 130 would be even worse when it occurs. There will always be some idiot getting his kicks by ruining other peoples' fun in 'non-conventional ways', like repeatedly crashing the biggest vehicle in the game...

Actually having to aim the arty could be quite fun, especially if you have a good vantage and get to see the ordinance hit. Walking barrages, working with teammates to bombard entrenched hostiles, etc...



It's a shame this is a 4-map expansion we're discussing, and not the fucking whole game.

There's gonna be a huge bumrush to the AC130 and a lot of people waiting around to spawn so they can get in it. Sounds like fun. And even if you decide to just try it out later, people will bitch and moan that a noob is in it and a douchebag admin will kick you. Sounds like fun.

its always been like that. usual mongs wait around for the new toys, know they can't use them (doesnt stop them trying), spaz for 20 seconds until eventual crash, never bother again after 4-5 attempts after the novelty has gone.

in bfbc2 couldnt get to use the drone for shit, now no one uses it. same for bf3 for jets, now easily hop into one.

True. So it just reinforces my plan to wait until 2013 before I try getting back into the game.

This..... AK looks like what BF3 should have been.  I bet it will be shitty on consoles, tho, with only 24 players.

True that.  It's probably going to suck on consoles with only 24 players, but I'm still glad they're doing it.

Anyone else notice from the AK footage that the engy had an M39?

yeah. moving some semi-auto rifle to 'all classes' would be a good move. was very handy being able to swap out an smg for the garand/m39 in bc2.

Where in the footage?

He probably picked it up off of a dead guy, doing that changes the kit but not the uniform. You will however see any equipment changes on the character model, so if a recon picked up an assault kit then the M320 would be visible on his back.

4:40, he switches instantly from RPG to M39. I'm pretty sure it happens later on when he attacks the two engy's repairing the Stryker MGS as well.

Back to playing since my last round was about February.  Forgot how good the AK-74M is.  Decided to take the same approach to BF3 that I did with BC2 and work through all the weapons to get service stars for them.  Brings some entertainment value back when the maps have gotten boring.

That's what I'm doing too! Just trying to get 100 kills with each and every weapon. It's pretty hard for the Stinger/IGLA though. I think I might skip those two.

That's what I was doing and when it got to the point that that's the only reason I was playing and still not having fun doing it, that's when I finally realized the game is shit and I shouldn't be playing it anymore.

Managed to clean out assault and support kits, and almost all of the engineer.

Might go back to finish up one day.... might

You might as well skip the M1911 S-TAC then too.
