Helo control

[Arid]

Good god its been a while since I posted on this forum.

Do we know what kind of controls the helos will have in bf3? Will they be annoying like bad company or awesome like bf2?

PLEASE BF2!!

Re: Helo control

I hope like BF2, but no word on it. Probably wont know until the beta.

Re: Helo control

+1 more person hoping that airspeed WILL be independent of pitch value and that unmitigated roll authority will make a return. The BC2 system is fine for console players, but utter crap for a PC player with a joystick.

I could loop bf2 helos,and im talking vertical not barrel rolls

Re: Helo control

Ah I remember all the DC players complaining about BF2 rigid helo.

Re: Helo control

I have faith that the control system wont be anything like BFBC2. with them already pimping out vehicle combat as a intricate part of BF3 i think that would mean viable controls as well meaning all analog mappable with joysticks in mind.

Re: Helo control

If you think the helo is bad in BC2, imagine how a jet would be with that...

Re: Helo control

Well, it looks like i'm not alone in my hope.

I dont think they'd screw us like that, but this is EA.

Re: Helo control

My fear is that they are unable to provide a good handling for vehicles before it's released due to this being on a newer/different engine (frostbite2 vs refractor2).

Re: Helo control

Thats a good question Spik3d. I dont know how much the frostbite engine handles controls. Its main focus on things that I read are graphics, lighting, drawing, rendering. I know DICE said that they caped the heighth in BC2 on purpose as well as wanting to make the helis feel heavy. Perhaps thats something easily controlled.

Re: Helo control

I don't think DICE made helis so clunky in BC2 because they're incompetent, but because that was their intent for BC2.

Doesn't keep me up at night. *shrugs*

Re: Helo control

yeh I don't really think they knew how they wanted to have helis in BC2, the consolers got crazy mad ones that could actually move, but for a long time we had flying bricks, they finally changed it and all was well

I reckon it will be more like BF2 but weapon wise will of course be closer to something like 2142/BC2

Re: Helo control

If the heli's were more like the Huey in Vietnam I would have more fun with them. The ones in BF2 I never got into flying though...
