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'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.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
