hitmanNo2 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Heh, yeah. If that is representational of the quality of sniping from the opfor I think we'll be pretty safe Link to post Share on other sites

talon_0315 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Personally I think the P90 was the only SMG worth using. For all other purposes the DAO-12 was king. Slow to reload, but brutally effective at close range. God yes. A favorite tactic of mine was to wound people with the pistol at a distance, then close the gap and open up with the DAO. The medic class was -evil- with the G36K. The medic was a true infantry killer. SpecOps was also awesome (red-dot M4 and C4), but assault was very blah. Oh, and Support class's PKM - the 100-round magazine, semi-auto iron-sighted M24 with unlimited ammo. BAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHHAHH Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 After watching that vid, I question the tactical aspects of building a sniper nest on the side of a building that has what looks to be barely any support structures and barely secured signboard letters. It looks almost like a building in process of construction. "So, where should we put our sniper nest?" "Right up there, underneath the weakened L letter on that hotel." "Brilliant!" Furthermore, I wonder how many shots the AI would have taken before it hits you if you just stood up. Link to post Share on other sites
mattmanic Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Considering one of the group were sticking their head over the wall for a fair while, I'd say you'd probably be fine Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Surely if the building was in good condition it'd actually be in active use? So therefore would you not kind of have a problem sneaking in a huge sniper rifle? A construction site seems like a far more likely choice for an Iraqi insurgent/rebel, to me at least.

TheFull9 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Fault Line Episode 3, hot off the press: http://www.ea.com/uk/battlefield3/videos/battlefield-3-fault-line-episode-3 Whoo, deployable bi-pods, it's only been like 10 years since America's Army 1.0 did that. I hope the next animation after that little-bird shoots its' load is the bloke reaching inside his vest for a hot casing. Looking forward to mid-april, hope that's when they finally show off the multi-player. Link to post Share on other sites
Scrubdown Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 If i remember correctly didnt cod world at war have bipods? And agree cant wait for the multi player. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Not sure on WaW, but the UO expansion pack for the first game had it and that came out years before WaW anyway, possibly even before AA or around the same time at least. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuey Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks cool! Love the crawling around in the ducts, animations really are a joy to behold...I simply have to build a PC that can run this on full settings... Only nit pick from me is that the M240 had a 200 round mag...is that realistic? Also, I hope that first-person melee combat is at least semi-interactive, rather than just quicktime events.

TheFull9 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 200 rounds of linked 7.62x51 takes up the space of a conventional H83/M2A1 ammo tin chopped in half long ways, i.e. an H84 which is a bit like one of these: Whether the US has a drum mag for the 240 that's big enough I don't actually know, but it's possible; they do tend to use drums on their MGs whereas our guys carry around loose belts. You'd just have to be seriously strong to be able to shoulder and fire a GPMG with 200 rounds slung under it, and the way the bloke in the game is dancing around with it... well, sufficed to say it's BF and they've always taken a bit of artistic licence in order to make things fun, which is fine because they don't take it too far. How not-cool would the game be if you looked at the gun on the floor and when you pressed F your bloke just says 'hell no man, that thing's way too damn heavy'. And I'd say that fist fight in there was just a cut-scene. Link to post Share on other sites
C.J.Fox Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks like they have been investing plenty of time on the Single Player story mode for this one, rather than just an afterthought, as often appears to be the case for some games. Still keen to see the Multiplayer modes in action, doubt it'll bring me back to XBOX online but I'll certinaly be trying it out on the PC. Link to post Share on other sites

And I'd say that fist fight in there was just a cut-scene. OK literally no idea what a H84 is but I get the idea of how big/heavy 200 rounds would be...yeah tbh DICE do tweak things, not a problem, anything around 100-200 rounds qualifies as 'MG=lotsa bullets'. Who's to say that gunner didn't choose to carry a belt that big? No, definitely not a cut scene, look carefully in the bottom corner of the screen, there are little prompts telling you to click the mouse buttons. I suspect just quicktime events. Be nice if there was more to it though. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 New trailer, most of it is a 'remix' from the 3 Fault line episodes with some cool slo-mo and an acoustic sort of version of a game which (I think??) is by the Game. Best bit however, near the end we get our first couple of glimpses inside the vehicles, definitely an M1A2 in there (big surprise eh?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfrrAp1blaM Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 As long as I can still shock paddle kill people I'll be happy. Been pissing people off with that since BF2, back when you got the L85, absolutely terrible if you fired it full auto, but single shot, OYF! Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Well they were in there in BC2 so I'd imagine the defibs will make a return, they're a staple piece of battlefield kit now. I'm glad I joined up after I played BF2, cocking the 85 right handed causes baby pandas to step on land mines. Link to post Share on other sites
Eizen Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I guess that shooting in FPSs just isn't enough anymore and that is why you have to create all this earthquake & jumping off cliffs BS seen in the trailer. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 ... hm? So you'd rather the game was dull and samey and didn't try to push the technology envelope? It's not like they're throwing bloody magic and dragons in there, earthquakes happen, cliffs exist, and whether a bunch of marines have ever jumped off one I don't know but I don't particularly care either, it's hardly impossible and it's just cool. If you want an uber-simulator, carry on playing ArmA, battlefield isn't about that level of realism (thank goodness). Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 In fact I think that having an earthquake transforming the battlefield halfway through a mission is a damn cool idea. I'd rather they did that than an 'omg lets have a snowmobile chase' moment. Link to post Share on other sites
Eizen Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Honestly all I care about is the MP and if there will be mods available such as PR. The SP modes since COD4 have been like playing a hollywood movie, while it is cool, it doesn't really light up my candle. I just think that there are other ways to show off the frostbite 2. COD4 had a (COOL) nuke in it and I guess this is the BF3's answer to it. Sorry for ruining your parade here but ArmA 2 is too much even for me. the PR mod for BF2 is perfect balance between something like MW2 and ARMA. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Realistically though, if you watch the trailers released so far the vast majority of it is more down-to-earth and realistic (in terms of the scenarios anyway). Just because they throw in a couple of Hollywood parts doesn't mean that's what it'll be like the whole way through, from what we've seen I think most of the SP campaign will be a lot more grounded than those brief crazy moments at the end of the last trailer.

TheFull9 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Full version of the 3 fault line videos all pieced together: http://www.youtube.com/user/Battlefield#p/u/0/2zw8SmsovJc Little bit of new stuff in there, though each time I watch those end parts inside the tank and jet I keep thinking they look more like cutscenes.

aznriptide859 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hopefully they cut it like cutscenes - it wouldn't be a BF game without a *suitcase* ton of vehicles. That said, it's claimed that the last video they posted is only 4 of 5, the last one being the whole Fault Line video with dev commentary, which I actually want to see. Time to build a beast PC to run this. Link to post Share on other sites
