PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

Re: PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

I agree with that, the spotting removes a lot of stealth

either an unlock as you say or make it so the commander cant just spam areas of his map and show up everyone

make it so he has to actually zoom in to eyeball level on his screen and then spot them, would at least make him actually have to work for it and give the guy time to avoid detection

Give spec-ops and sniper (maybe everyone?) scan invisibility when not moving or moving prone/crouched. If you don't set of APMs (in 2142) while moving like that, why not add it for UAV/scan?

Re: PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

I like the ability for individuals to spot, and I don't mind limited-range UAVs. But the whole-friggin'-map scan is what kills stealth. If that was the one thing removed, I'd be ok. I like to think that people being able to spot is something that overcomes being miles away and looking at a screen. In real life, I would just shout, "hey, he just ran behind the building." Since that would require proximity voice chat or typing, the current spot system is a pretty okay surrogate.

Re: PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

Yeah, I'm gona have to agree. Just get rid of the scan.

Re: PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

I want more weapons more than just 4 planes on a map and I want more Vehicles and Maps.

They should keep on making more and more unlocks, seriously there are so many greap weapons.

And have an AA kit I beg youuuuu and a terrorist. (I'm sure they can find out a way to do it I'm sure)

Re: PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

Hopefully the admins are able to freely choose what planes and jets are available for use on a map this time around. As in No jets/attack chops on any map if they so choose.

Yeah, try not to burst a blood vessel. :p Not every word has to be caps.

Re: PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

I agree with getting rid of the scan.

I also think that everything should be more deadly in BF3. I think EA made a mistake in toning the powerful things down in order to create balance instead of making the weak things more powerful.

Ya--they sure did a great job balancing the jets and chops--NOT!!!

I completely agree with this, the blackhawk being the best example. That thing was awesome and actually useful before. Now look at it! A chopper that fires blanks at 200 rounds per minute and has beefed up armor still just fires blanks. The only time I ever kill anything with that thing is when it's on the ground next to an enemy jeep or apc.

And most of the other guns would be outclassed by a .22!

Re: PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

I hope that they use some of the ideas from bf:bc.
I don't know if a commander role has to go completely but I generally like the idea of giving mini-versions of commander assets to the classes itself like mortar barrage ability for the support class or mini-uav as unlocks.
I never really liked the fact that you can arty strike anything on the map from a safe place without the enemy being able to notice that it's incoming, nor the absolute necessary but overly annoying spam of the voice chat with "enemy infantry spotted" and such.
I mean really. Just do it like in bf:bc, give the abilities to the classes itself on a smaller scale because then you could eg. see if you are being targeted with arty and run away or kill the player before he finishes targeting. Right now it's a noob-1 click-multikill-from safe distance-weapon :dead:.

Re: PC gamer confirms battlefield 3?

hmmmm 8 maps is poor

but a great base to sell booster packs from.......


the only thing im not too keen on is 6 or 7 of those maps will be strictly urban, they are catering the karkand style player and steering away from the dragon valley type of player.

hmmmm....

they have to officially announce it soon...

they have secured website names up to number 9, its just a standard practice when you create a game. to protect your Intellectual property.

Well in the latest UK edition of PCGamer or zone theres nothing about it in there, theyve done pretty well to keep this under wraps, hope that doesnt mean it isnt stupidly early in its development

we will seriously be lucky if we have BF3 a year from now....very lucky.

Hopefully the admins are able to freely choose what planes and jets are available for use on a map this time around. As in No jets/attack chops on any map if they so choose.

as long as theres stats, ranked severs and an ROE it will never happen. you could set up a severely unbalanced server.

*FMJ*Power! Yeah I played with that dude... Man, he didn't know any songs!
How ya been man? Not very often do I see names on the forum that I recognize from ingame.

You certainly are not an optimist. Even if the game is full of smacktards, statwhores, and dillweeds, I'll still be happy if I can run them down with a DPV.

Give me a break, how could having no jets on Dragon hurt anyones stats other than the jet whores?
You could still get stats using all the other vehicles, ground pounding etc. Nor would it be unbalanced--since the jets actually create many unbalanced maps already!.

Choppers would destroy all if the jets were taken away.
