Thoughts from the interview.....
Will there be unlockables for secondary weapons? (i.e. pistols)
Unfortunately, the system was designed to work in conjunction with a primary weapon.( I have passed along the need for a more flexible system in the future.)
So would "in the future" mean BF3? If the system cant do it now?
We've heard a lot about the Supply Lines game mode, can we expect this soon?
At this point in time, there is no plan to add it. During the development process of BF2, “supply lines” was not felt to be that strong a game mode.( However, the basic idea may spawn a better idea in the future.)
So....theres "no plan on adding it", but it "may spawn a better idea in the future", could this be a virtual frontline as eluded to before BF2?
Will any efforts be made to increase the functionality of the sniping class by allowing more concealement from other players or commander; Rewarding snipers for successfully spotting out enemies that are subsequently destroyed; Allowing the zoom to be adjusted while in use.
The first thing I should point out is that snipers are already difficult to spot since they tend to be so far from the fight. In normal view, it is difficult to see another player at more than 300 meters distance.
In regards to awarding the snipers for spotting enemies, the reward if it were to be added would have to be universal. There is no reason why an engineer should not get the same reward.
In regards to the zoom, this has been mentioned internally a few times and (may make it into a future version of the game), but at this time there are no plans for that functionality.
"at this time there are no plans for that functionality" BUT "may make it into a future version of the game"...........obviously referencing the next "version" of battlefield = BF3?
All three of these statments tell me were on our way to BF3.....probably/possibly by spring 2008?
