official Battlefield 3

[FunkyMike]

You cant pick servers in game, there is a server browser its called Battlelog.

Ahh thank you,.. am a bit slow today! ;D

Looks like I will have to preorder despite the whole steam debacle.

WOOHOO!

Another tidbit from Gamescom.

Apparently players can spawn directly into vehicles if a teammate is driving it. That was another of my bugbears in all previous battlefield games, some tosser spawning and then taking a multiple seat vehicle all on their own leaving rest of the team having to go on foot.

You could do this before if someone in your squad was in a vehicle.

Always going to get the plane and helicopter queues.

Yes i know but this applies to TEAMMATES now also not just squadmates.

- bf2 handling for helicopters

Where did you hear that? Alan Kertz via Twitter said air vehicles will have the same handling as 2142, which had auto stabilization so couldn't throw it about like BF2.

Don't ask me for a source, it was on his Twitter about 2 - 3 months ago.

Need to stop watching these trailers until it's closer to release as it just gets me pumped for the game, only to realize it's still months away. Should probably try and get the hang of flying jets one of these days, but given my past history of flying in Battlefield games I may just save that for when I pick up Ace Combat. Hoping the game will be looking this good on my system as the graphics are truly amazing.

What the **** are they doing?

The funny thing is that yesterday there was an announcement about dedi's coming back to CoD.

They gotta try to bring their game to at least 1% of what BF3 is.

I don't see this as a big issue. Playing the alpha it was quick and easy to exit and join a new server.

Yea really, in fact I prefer it over any previous in-game browser DICE has created.

Well, seeing as in DICE has no idea on how to make a working in game server browser.. this is a welcomed function.

It would suck if you spawn into a vehicle with less than 5% HP... right before an RPG hits it.

[TheLegendOfMart]

You die?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

You die?

I didn't mean to put that in question form so I edited my post. It seems I was a little too slow.

[TheLegendOfMart]

Oh lol.

Yeah i agree but the pros far outweigh the cons, i used to get extremely frustrated spawning at base only for some idiot to jump into the only vehicle there and and drive off leaving teammates for dust.

Been banned a few times for sending a rocket up their arse for the trouble.

Pretty sure BC2 was that way... it sucks. "Oh goody gum drops I can look at the respawn screen even longer!"

I haven't been following this thread as much as I should, is there a way to deny revives from medics? That was one of the most irritating things about BC2 for me. So many unneeded extra deaths from idiot rambo medics.

It's definitely frustrating, especially when you spawn at the original spawn location. It better be an option though. Sometimes, I want to spawn on the ground (e.g. playing as recon). I can't snipe people when I'm in the front seat of a Humvee.

Yes, that feature was announced a long time ago.

I just saw some new game play footage, and it was on PS3...again. Is anyone worried that they have yet to show a 360 version? I have my limited edition pre-ordered for the 360 and I have yet to find out how it looks compared to the PS3. They say that the PS3, and 360 are to be the same, but I am starting to doubt it. I don't have a ps3 but my friend does and I watched Dead Space the other night and I cant imagine that looking the same. Just as an example.

...but you haven't seen actual 360 footage. What makes you think it will look worse? Didn't BC2 look pretty much identical for both 360 and PS3?

[TheLegendOfMart]

Pretty sure they said 360 version will have advanced lighting over the PS3 version much like the PC.
