Hm, the suppression looks really interesting. This might give it a nice twist, if they balance it right.

A Six person squad would be way to OP. That's five people too spawn on.
Yeah but Squad Leaders are back, so I presume you can only spawn on them, as in BF2.

we have only seen one map and some single player. I would say its much to early to make any sort of judgement on the game.

Nope.

Works better this way. In BF2 the squad leader was shit. The most effective ones avoided combat and any situations that scored them points, which isn't a good design. Also a shitty squad leader ruined it for the guns not in his squad. Especially bad if the SL was in a vehicle without an empty seat.

I think it'll be the demonchild of BC2 and BF2 with a little MW2 and DoD:S thrown in.

eg it could be great, or horrible, or... most likely... just another average modern warfare shooter... BC3 some may call it, CoD-bastardized BF2 others may call it.

I would like to see some sort of beacon again, like 2142 had it. It gave the squadleader more freedom and rewarded with points if deployed. I think PR uses a similar system (without the cocoons dropping from the sky)?

Yeah, PR has those forward spawn points, depicted by a pile of sandbags and some ammo bags, IIRC.
Not sure who deploys them.

Not anymore. Rally Points (deployed by the SL when he has one member within 10m) only last 60 seconds and are intended to be a short respawn to regroup the squad, firebases (FO's) (whole team spawnable) can be built by squads and require supply crates, and are more of a long term option.

i liked the old rally point system, now with the firebases you have to walk so much.....

If you're walking a stupidly long distance, you aren't playing the game properly. Good squad leaders constantly have a rally point available for their members in the event that the squad has to regroup, or a firebase close to the objective they're attacking.

I do agree though, the old system was better. The devs argued that it meant that squads were 'trickling' off the rally points and attacking one by one as opposed to a single cohesive unit, which was often the case.

For those who want a more realistic alternative (while still being fun) check out PR @ realitymod.com.

The rally points were great, but once again the PR community is willing to sacrifice fun for reality - which is a shame. Even with RP's there was a tonne of walking, now they disappear after 60 secs it means you could be trekking for 10 mins before you find your squad.

They're really sticking it to CoD, serves them right for making such a fucking horrid MW2 expansion.

Haha seriously? How dumb does he think they are? Yes we're gonna let our main competitor have an inside preview look of our flagship product whilst it's in development. Very smart business strategy.

well, it feels a lot more real when youre crouching/standing. BUt it would be annoying if there wasnt a way to get it steady.

Havent seen any sniper footage from bf3 though

You press shift to steady it, in the same way it is in CoD 2/4/MW2/Blops.

Honestly its out of place for a Battlefield game, but since its pre-alpha they still are able to reverse really any feature they want.
