I think multiple player looks pretty dang good, better knife kills, movement, lighting, everything.

[twitchyzero]

yeah i like the knife kills..and it looks like the falling debris can seriously damage you too.

someone on another board mentioned that HP is back...no health regeneration

[korroke]

looks soo much better than bf2... definitely getting this when it comes out

some other minor but interesting deets

Classes that everyone is so use to have been changed a bit:

Riflemen double as medics
Support class is now equipped with a light machinegun
Sniper is long-range and demolitions expert
Engineer is the master of disaster destroying and repairing vehicles


Other important changes:

Revive - You can opt-out of revive. No more resting in the middle of a huge firefight and instantly dyeing.


There is also reportedly weapon attachments which allow you to adapt the classes to how you want to play, like a rifleman choosing a grenade launcher rather than advanced medical equipment. One thing that was made obvious was that suppressive fire is actually a part of the game. When sending a hail of bullets it not only gains you points, but also dims and shakes the screen of those affected.

Vehicles have also been tweaked out. They now generate a small amount of health when damaged, but in order to heal completely they need the assistance of an Engineer. They can also be immobilized right before destruction giving Engineers time to intervene and save it. This could be a nightmare and that is my personal opinion. It's said that it is to help alleviate rage that comes from one shot kills from a rocket. Take for instance a team that loads up in a humvee only to be blown sky high with one rocket.

well yeah but that's why i was choked with bad company and so ecstatic to see a new bf coming

[twitchyzero]

i take it back...destruction may actually not harm/kill players..but they are claiming no health regeneration...hard to say based on pre-alpha stages of this game developement

Probably just made HUD changes, I hate bot knowing how much health I have left in bad company

This is pretty big for those of you planning to buy Battlefield 3

Apparently EA marketing has gone around DICE, and made some of the essential weapons/accessories only available through buying a pre-ordered copy / buying from certain stores. If you didn't order any of these your going to have to dish out additional money to get these items

Alot of people are boycotting this until they they decide to remove the dlc, and if you want future shooters to go down this road you should considering boycotting it too.

heres the link to where i found the boycott

and here are are a couple of links to articles

[twitchyzero]

saw this yesterday...typical money hungry EA
unfortunately I'm still going to get this game day 1...any links where i can sign a petition of some sort?

I guess this is the way gaming will be in the future since it's so easy to add and remove things over the Internet.

more screens

[yogenfruz]

^ Althought the graphics do look incredible so far. I don't care as much, as long as gameplay is worthwhile.

I feel like Dice has been giving great games, with less than great graphics, which is fine with me. As long as it works well, I don't care if it's a 10.

Console graphics compared to PC are SHIT!
Feel sorry for all the console fps players

[twitchyzero]

i wouldn't call them shit..but the texture details is probably only slightly better than BC2...but the framerate actually seems pretty smooth/consistent which I think is good enough.

etf oct 25thhh damnnn that's a long time..

[yogenfruz]

I think console graphics looked fine. At least it's gonna run smoothly
