BF2S Forums Battlefield 3 - Main Thread

market it like cod mw2 / blackops. those games are marketed directly to their target audiences, console players with a 2-minute attention span. i mean what am i to judge, if that's what people want, so be it.

currently they are marketing it as a competitive shooter. which it most definitely will not be.

How often do you see "leet" BLOPS players arm the boxes?

how many times do you see them spamming explosives at the people arming the boxes?

Exactly.  All toward getting those kill streak rewards.

did you notice what the most recurring theme of the first bf3 mp trailer was?

just might have been explosives

oh dear.

well out of all my deaths in bc2 at least half were by explosives and, well, i didn't really hang around objectives much.

People don't use bc2-style ezmode explosives to defend / capture MCOMS, they use them to get easy point-and-click kills.

While arming the station put a few c4's on the mcom. Throw a motion mine. And hide somewhere nearby when someone gets close to it blow the c4. After that go in and defend it closely along with your squad. I do it all the time.

It's not going to look very spectacular if they have a sniper camping, or someone just running from place to place.

They're showing off a game engine that has destructible environments and to give it a "wow" factor to impress people. Of course they're going to show explosions.

Ever watched the trailer for a big action movie? What do you see lots of? Explosions.

Heh, they spliced two separate clips together at the end - when the rubble falls on the player, he's holding a rifle, but when he actually dies, he suddenly has an M249 (check the ammo counter) and the kill message says 'M67 Grenade'.

That's one way to make getting bashed on the head with a brick look more exciting, I suppose.

Also, guns listed in the vid: M16A4, M4A1, M9, AK74M, Pechenag (PKM), M249, AKS-74U (silenced, like BC. Though I did see an enemy player drop an unsilenced one, that my have just been an uncompleted model), MP443, SVD, and some semi auto sniper rifle that looks like an M16 (shown at :34 in the vid).

Nice to see that each army has its own base weapons. Should be interesting to see what the MEC/Insurgent/Chinese/European/Whatever forces have.

Yeah that's definitely a health counter. When in vehicles you can see the vehicle health counter above it.

Yeah, that's the one.

I was a little concerned with the dust but it appears to be a little less than BC2, and when it is thick it is when it should be for tank shells impacting the earth, driving behind a friendly tank, etc.

That multiplayer footage from the other vid seems to have no dust, which is a relief.
