Man my life feels so empty right now. I'm like a God damn addict, and BF3 is my drug. I can't wait till the 28th!

same here, i was so addicted to going around in the jet and shooting down noobs :|

I wouldn't go as far as an addict, but I did enjoy the hell out of the beta despite all the flaws we were forced to put up.

Come release I think I'll be playing mostly Rush, too. Conquest just moves a little to slowly for me. That and there is entirely way to much randomness in the engagements for my taste.

i was thinking of doing that as well, but only playing Rush to lvl up my weapons, then once I get the ones I want, go back to conquest.

The grand bazaar rush map actually looks pretty damn fun.

The version of Battlefield 3 that I spent hours playing last week has weapons and damage that feel like Battlefield Bad Company 2. This, if you aren't sure, is a good thing. It changes the dynamics of firefights, allowing for each side to take and hold positions, and making flanking and tactical coordination much more viable. The increased player survivability also make vehicles in Battlefield 3 more fair than they would be with the beta's damage models.

I was hoping they weren't falling back to BC2's damage model. Shooting someone with close to a full magazine's worth of ammo isn't exactly realistic or fun. I thought the Beta felt great in that respect.

The damage is NOT tweaked according to this tweet: https://twitter.com/#!/Demize99/status/123693205148545025

Good to hear, thanks for that.

some squad deathmatch for me at launch; fastest way to rank up/level up weapons imo...

nothing beats mindless shooting for leveling up. ;)

I hope this is true because I thought the beta damage was at a good level. I did not like the bc2 damage model at all.

[trag3dy]

I agree. BC2 damage model didn't work so well especially with how bad the net code for that game was for the first 10 months of it's life. You ended up with people killing you in situations where it just should not have happened. Of course BF3 has the same problems where you are completely out of line of sight and still die. But hopefully that's been fixed in release.

Look at what I just stumbled upon.

[Got3n]

Ha! I love it!

[WastedJoker]

not sure that will make the game any more fun. It seems like it'll be a campers heaven

How do you go full screen in the embedded player? Don't have the option, and it's really annoying to watch 720p in the tiny window.

Did anyone ever find out how to clear the key bindings for the helo and jet section? I wanted to use my joystick solely for the flight and control of those vehicles, and I could not for the life of me get those controls cleared. I kept getting into the vehicle, pulling the throttle, and the guy would jump out. Also, secondary weapons on those vehicles... disabled for the beta? Bombs, tv missiles?

One more, I have inverted my mouse for infantry movement, but the jeep positions were not inverted. The tank was ok though...

I hope that was caught.

42 bucks for the download version of battlefield...

solid effin deal.

[trag3dy]

Very solid deal. Switched my pre order to that, I had it as a dvd pre-order from amazon anyways. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I wonder if we'll be able to bring that antenna tower down in multiplayer? I'm pretty sure all those clips were from the single player though. I hope we can, so the first thing I'll do in CB is destroy that damn thing to prevent wannabe snipers from camping in it the entire game. :rofl:

i'm pretty sure you are the one who found that deal on direct2drive last year to get %25 off black ops, so consider it a CoD kiddie returning a battlefield fanboy a courtesy ;)
