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.

- 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.

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

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?

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      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 weapons 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.
