Seems like bolt actions aren't OHK to the body anymore. I like!

They weren't in BC2 either unless the person you're shooting at was closer than 30 feet (m95 was a bit further). If they take that away from bolt action rifles then they might as well not even have them in the game, imo.

Well, I meant exactly that. In the video you can see that as well - few meters away and didn't take out in one hit.

EDIT

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure about this design decision. To be honesty, at first I was like "YAYYY" simply because playing against skilled enough quickscopers in CQC can get VERY frustrating due to their OHK ability. But if they miss, very often it's bye bye for them against a wall of bullets from an LMG or assault rifle... I guess we'll see how this works in the beta.

But I sure as hell hope they increase the amount of points awarded for getting an objective. 200 (a kill is 100 points...) just isn't enough to work as a decent incentive.

DICE haven't yet announced anything about the comm rose. No one knows if it will be like in BF2 or communication will work like in BC2 or a mixture of both. Until there's actual information from DICE not sure if it's worth crying about it (not directed at you, sopharine, it's just that A LOT of people shed tears about stuff nothing is known about yet).

Official MP trailer:

I remember upgrading my RAM and buying a new sound card for BF2. Now, I'm going to have to buy a whole new gaming rig for BF3. And that's not a bad thing. I definitely want to experience BF3 in all its glory.

Anyway, that MP trailer has an awesome team vibe to it. It's what separates Battlefield from other shooters. It's not just a run-and-gun game where you rack up as many kills as possible. It's about completing the objectives (capturing the flag, blowing up something, etc). Damn... I can't wait for this game. :)

The knife killing is awesome!

hopefully they don't **** it up like they did in bc2

I wanted to see some epic footage from the 64 players maps with some aerial action in their first official MP trailer :(

my guess would be the reason they didn't is 1. that's console footage or 2. the game is too buggy at the moment to showcase it properly.

Yeah I totally take back what I said. The knife is just as shoddy as it is in BC2. Check out this BS knife lunge (second knife kill)...

ha yeah, that was kinda bad. but at least it's actually killing the guy. remember the glitch where if you knifed a guy from behind, even a million times, it would never kill the guy? that was a good time...

To be honest I'll take nonfunctioning knife any day over the STUPID lunge. I jam a ****load of bullets down your throat (half of which don't register, of course) and you kill me because you pressed a single button without aiming or anything? Yeah, **** that.

Regarding 64p jet CQ, I wouldn't be surprised if they held it back partly because the maps and vehicles might not be finalized enough and partly because if you show the best OMGWTFAWESOME footage right now, what will you show in the coming months? They have to reveal the best things when launch is approaching and ads campaign is going full throttle.

@rajputwarrior

What console footage?

EDIT

But I definitely wouldn't mind seeing something other than Operation Metro for the bajillionth time. And hopefully they'll change the HUD. That neon crap looks ugly. At least with that colour scheme.

the multiplayer trailer anaron posted, could be console footage, hence not showing 64 player MP.

It looked pretty detailed to me. I think it's PC footage because it's in their best interest to showcase the best-looking version. Also, all we've seen for MP is Operation Metro. They're probably saving the good stuff for the coming months.

that makes sense.

That's one of my biggest gripes with COD, why does a single knife equate to an instant kill whereas a whole host of bullets from a light machine gun do sweet **** all because he knifed me first?

@Demize99 Dissapointed with the auto aimbot knife, why does it have to lock on and lunge, can't we get something similar to the 2142 knife?

@DavidComerford It only does that for kills from behind. You still have the traditional slash from the front. Not 1 shot though.

Come on, It's still Alpha I am sure they will iron out such issues.

Haha, I remember that. I had to retrain myself not to use the knife, even when it was the obvious thing to do.

I purposefully didn't watch much of the leaked alpha footage. It still looks a little rough around the edges (which is to be expected), so I'll probably just wait until the beta to really dig in. But at the same time, I've already decided that I'm buying this game, so I don't really feel the need to "spoil" myself, so to speak.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
