There´s also an iPad version that can be tested during Gamescom.
The fact sheet is an interesting read. Tons of weapons of course and also tons of perks. I´m not too happy with the big number of vehicle perks, as it doesn´t make much sense that in an environment of standardization vehicles differ so much. Most of the announced features, such as disabled vehicles, weapon costumization, supressive fire (why for the MG only, btw?), deploying machine guns, unlocking virtual ranks and perks, multiple firemodes or quick reloads can already be found in other games and mods, so DICE took what they though would fit BF3s gameplay, included it and now they try to sell it as "innovative" and "immersive".
There´s also a short video from a German PC magazine about a guy who already played BF3 on Gamescom. Nevermind him talking, as he´s a PS3 consolero who knows not much about BF (he claims that respawning in vehicles is a new feature
)but you can see some gameplay footage and also the iPad version.
The minimap interesting. The map isn´t as big as it seems,
check this
out. It seems like all of the flags are pretty close together, so it seems like it´ll end in another CQB massacre.
