It's not much, but at least they've confirmed that they put prone back in. Thank fucking god.

Leaked teaser? Who knows. If it is, it's sorta a joke:

Yup. It's legit. It's official. I'm fucking EXCITED.

IT'S ON.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this didn't get dumped down because of console's and Battlefield Bad Company.

That first tid-bid of info sounds good though..
Always loved playing around with those jets; like flying through the dam pipe in Kubra Dam.

Lets face it now, and get it over with: it did. Battlefield started to get dumbed down before it even hit consoles. 2142 introduced awful vehicle hitboxes, some awful vehicles, and started the consolidation of kits. Hell--it started before that--Battlefield hasn't been safe from this process since BF2 1.0. They patched so much goodness out of that game because people wanted it to be more fair for pubbers. On the other hand, lets also admit this much: Bad Company 2 is a fucking really good game despite some really serious shortcomings (we could go on all day about them too).

If BF3 is just a bigger and badder Bad Company 2 with larger (and hopefully much better) maps, better controls (prone confirmed!), and more vehicles and weapons, it will still be good. Will it be as great as we hope and dream? I don't know. It has the potential to be something so ridiculously terrific. If they can take some of the good things they've learned from Bad Company (gun handling, destruction) and give us some of the depth that we've come to expect from the main franchise, it could be the best team multiplayer game ever fucking made.

My wish list will never come true. I just hope they implement prone in a way that doesn't feel stiff and retarded. Stance delays should feel reasonable, animated, as in Call of Duty. Diving should work. They should actually look at Call of Duty here, because movement is one thing it still gets right (maybe the only thing).

I'll write up some of my own wishes later, when I can properly wrap my head around it, but I do not expect half of them to come true. This year has so many promising shooters on the horizon.. from Bulletstorm to Portal to Battlefield to real hardcore PC games like Red Orchestra. It's almost too good to be true. Somethings got to give!

Ooooh god it's so on! SIX FUCKIN' YEARS! HYPE! GET!

edit: and Crysis and Killzone and all that great indie shit too. I wasn't trying to leave anyone out :)

The problem is; every single person would like to see something else from BF3.

You want it to be a multiplayer twitch shooter like Modern Warfare. I would like to see a squad based multiplayer game that doesn't have everyone belly diving around the level while headshotting someone on the other side of the level with a fucking sub-machine gun.

Oh no no no no I don't want it to be a twitch shooter like Modern Warfare. I want it to be comfortably in the middle like Battlefield 2. I do think Bad Company 2's combat model is pretty sound already though, and I do absolutely want people diving on their bellies during firefights :P

Basically I want BF2 style gameplay, with that kind of depth and team play, but with Bad Company 2 bullet physics and Call of Duty style movement. I only mention Call of Duty in this discussion because it already has a slight delay in changing stances which they tried to implement in patches in BF2 and it always felt buggy and awful. If they want stance delays done right, they should feel right, and they already do it in COD.

Ahh that sounds just the way I would love it as well.

The only thing I kinda hated about BC2 was that the overal physics felt a bit like the earth's gravity was lowered. Like when someone was shot they would kinda float to the ground, same with jumping and falling off of buildings. Almost like Halo, which IMO is a bad thing in a realistic shooter.

I never really felt that to be honest.. I do wish the game performed better, but I'm going to target BF3 for my next build I think. There's no way I'm not playing this game with good performance. I just can't accept that. I expect it to be more demanding than BC2 already, and BC2 hates my dual core.

The anticipation is already killing me. Bring on GDC.

Yep, I can agree on the randomness of the kills, sometimes it would take one good burst and sometimes half a clip wasn't enough to kill someone.I found BFBC2 did a much better job in that department; Choppers could be taken done pretty easy!

LOL + might as well leave now.BC2 did a better job at some basic combat model stuff too. It's just a shame about ya know.. all the other stuff. There better be big, hopefully scalable maps in this game, and for fucks sake, they better focus on conquest and there better be multiple types of conquest as seen in Battlefield 2. And it's not so much that BC2 had awesome AA, but helos were no where near as powerful as they are in BF2. I would like to see a little more balance between those two things.

This could pretty easily be the best all around multiplayer team game this generation, but that's really not enough to make it the best Battlefield ever, is it? :P

I don't agree with you there, if you have a decent team, hell if you have couple of decent players, those choppers are going down before they can get a kill streak going... (I'm talking strictly BFBC2)

BF2 is a whole other ballgame... Although I do like the BF2 setup for choppers
