I quite honestly don't believe the E3 demo did any justice, it only looks like BC2 because they chose a small closequarters map for showcasing, and there's probably a max of 24 people playing it (i am of course talking about the streams that showed people playing it).
It just looks like Battle of Brest(16) played with 32p.

I'm not sure where they got the idea for tank regen, but the health regen system they had in BC2 worked well enough for medics to feel like they're actually doing something, said regen is actually quite slow and the medipacks accelerate the rate, nothing more.

As for the spawn points, I think only the SL will be spawnable, after all, SLs will all have little stars, and by their own words "cut off the head and the rest falls apart".

I'm not entirely sure about the animated knifing, I think it is better than the COOOOMMAAANDOOO I sometimes have with BC2 and CoD, maybe if I had a PS3 and Killzone 3 I could at least make a comparison or the such, replacing the knife entirely with an animation makes it feel like it has more use in a panicked or stealthy environment.

I like the BF2142 class layouts, at least you can't complain about medics using LMGs anymore, I don't see anything wrong with squad members (more squad leaders, more spawns, more action, the better right? Right?), and the absence of the commander is, at least to me, not good nor bad, it WAS a Battlefield 2 element, but look at the rules behind that element placed by the community, commander can be fun, but at the end of the day I would want to be where the action is and not staring at a map for the entire round.

in the end, as cannonfodder said, can't really judge a book by its cover, we'll do that on the September Open Beta. ;)

What I like more about is that it takes a lot of time, so you will have to use it with care instead of the banzai stuff in BC2 because (so I hope) you'll be able to get shot when you're having a knife fight.

Too much of a BC2 influence. With 64 players on PC a 4 player squad is way too small. Don't get me started on the MP footage. Tunnelcombat right...
Exactly.
Imo, BC1 and 2 were both respectable in their own genre, but they were no near the BF-feeling.

Not to mention the faults and imbalances in gameplay that DICE created in BC2 and BF1943 (DICE made a half-product with 1943, cancelling it for PC). Did I mention the huge list of bugs and glitches in the BC2 gold version? + the huge list of bugs and glitches that were introduced with the patches?

DICE is doing a bad job at game-making. Sure, they can build engines, but gamemaking is more than that. DICE last good game was BF2. After that, it went all downhill looking through Battlefield-eyes.

I dont think BF3 will be good, as in worth the money.

From Planet Battlefield

Quote
Before we were allowed to play Battlefield 3, DICE's Lars Gustafsson, BF3 Lead Multiplayer Designer briefed a small group of us about the game. We'll have our impressions of the game later!

- Tank footage show at EA press conference is possibly the first mission in the game
- New suppression system -
- Operation Metro - rush gamemode, close combat, play as U.S. Marines, take on Russian forces in heart of Paris, infantry focus
- Operation Metro objective is to take back Stock Exchange
- Team Deatchmatch, Conquest, Rush gamemodes confirmed
- Battle Log - hub for social Battlefield experience
- 4 classes tuned for teamplay - Assault (medic abilities), Engineer (anti-vehicle, repair), Support (give ammo, suppressive fire), Recon (main focus supplying intel)
- Heavily focused on unlocks, more than any Battlefield game, customization key
- Engineer has flashlight under-slung on weapon for lighting up area, blinding enemy
- Every weapon has 3 customization slots (barrels, etc)
- Support solider has bi-pod - placed on any surface in game (more accuracy)
- New feature called Suppression - all the bullets you fire at an enemy affect them regardless if you hit them or not. All the bullets you fire that get close enough will start to reduce their combat efficiency. Squad can then flank the enemy and you will receive a Suppression score.
- Jets, boats, tanks, helicopters confirmed
- LAV-25 Light Armored Vehicle confirmed, also in Operation Metro
- Dog tags - fully customizable, dynamically updated, only obtainable from knife kills in the back
- Knifing system more dramatic, spectacular

Quote
- On the death screen it now displays statistics of how many times you have killed the person who killed you and how man times they killed you (e.g. 2-1)
- When deployed it displays on the bottom of the screen a countdown of when a squad member can spawn on you, and when they spawn who it is
- Most of the rifles that we played with had 3 fire mode : automatic, semi-automatic, and single shot
- After you are killed the health of the person who killed you is shown as a heath bar over their head
- When your in a vehicle and stopped the camera begins to shake from the rattling of the engine
- Flashlight can blind you momentary if someone points it directly at you
- 100 points for killing someone, 10 extra points for a headshot, 100 points for reviving
- In order to revive you must hover over the dead body and hold down left mouse button while your character rubs the paddles together and charges them before the player is revived
- 2 grenades were given by default
- In order to knife in this build of the game you need to press “f” to do “quick knife”. When pressed you enter into an animation that will pull you close to your enemy and you will grab their head and execute them by slitting their throat
- You can only obtain an enemy’s dog tag if the “quick knife” command is done when you are behind your enemy
- The knife seems more like a switchblade than the classic knife we are used to
- Commo rose is not in the build we played. EA wouldn't give us a firm yes or not when asked if it would be in the final version of the game

Overall the game was very smooth for something that is pre-alpha. We never notices any framerate loss while we were playing. The game has a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 feel, but it's a lot more than that. If you try to jump over something you don't just simply jump, you see an animation of your solider leaping over. It's Bad Company 2 on crack with mind-blowing graphics, more intense gameplay, amazing weapon customization, superb animations, and most important of all it's the most fun we have had playing a Battlefield game.

What were you all saying?

Kinda liked this from BF2142

Large amount of content in a EA game? is NOT possible!

Now this would be very awesome. You know, allowing you to use Longer and shorter barrels

Wow.

And the way you die, like BC series. BF2 way to die was just perfect.

yeah flying around like a fucking punched radgroll WOOHOO!!
If you have said the way of BF1942 then it would be fine by me too.

As for health and tank regeneration...Well the tank regeneration is bad, i was waiting eagerly for something like having to RTB to get repairs...Health regeneration , that is actually what i like.Because medics are not used right...But still for tournament/organized play this feature is a co-operation killed.
Having a ragdoll death and looking at the sky is way better then a death where you see your hand falling on the ground in a no-ragdoll animation. This death has no momentum, you just stop and die.

Exactly like you would if you were shot by a guy. Not flying backwards 1000 miles,Not doing an awesome-death-on-my-knees-begging-for-forgiveness-by-the-one-true-God cinematic style or a i-am-an-angel style of death.You die a dogs death, alone, with your hand being raised for help.......But it won't come...




Unless there's a medic  :P

Look at 0:37, it's even worse when you die on surfaces.

Now compare to BF2 way to die, 1:37 :

Quoting myself, I said BC series, and if you look in the BF3 video, when he dies it looks exactly like BC way to die :/

Look at 2:31

wow that really makes me mad.

I love playing as a engineer or medic! ;D I think its fun just to runaround the battlefield just to repair a tank and to heal one of my team mates. I may only get 1 or 2 kills :P but hay I think its fun knowing that im helping do my part to help my team win


if any of you can remember me from 128 "my name was king_Ajs or something with Ajs in it" that's all i did was run and help repair tanks! 8) hell i even got number one on 2 or 3 maps with no kills ;D just by repair my team mates tanks.

 some people my think its not fun but I like it we the are different class so everone has to do there part ;D

Unlike BC2's "camera only", you actually have your arm out and visible, dropping to the ground.

so yeah, what exactly is wrong with that?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLHYLIl-q6s&feature=player_embedded <-- nice MP footage though the image quality sucks.

http://www.gamereactor.eu/previews/7607/Battlefield+3 <-- Nice read, I like that rocket can kill the driver and immobilize the vehicle but the passengers can survive. The regenerating vehicle health sounds odd though it might be for the good, you know tank can die faster if ambushed but can't be killed too easily with bazooka sniping.
