It doesn't look like CoD to me at all.

And the dragging really wouldn't work in MP anyway. You have very limited time to be able to get to someone and drag them slowly back behind cover. And players in MP aren't dumb like the SP AI, and more than likely you will just get shot if you try to drag anyone. If you wouldn't get shot, then you don't need to drag him.

It does to me. The graphics are different, but its the same old scripted urban infantry combat with the same old US troops with the same old US weapons.
At least based on 10 seconds of video

Especially when he starts shooting, it looks exactly like cod. Also the whole scenario says im special forces on a mission not in a army fighting a war.(cough BC2) where is my gold? lol

I hope the "revive and run" tactic isnt in BF3 personally. I think it would be extremely useful to drag one of your team mates to safety.

I wanted drag because it said to me slower game play, Rev on the run is not only suicide but it says fast game play ,aka BC2 to me.

Think about dragging a body with 15 second respawn. Your talking 4 seconds to get there, 3 seconds to kill the person(s) if they are in the area, 5 seconds to drag a body to a safe spot and not get killed by someone else coming up. That leaves you 3 seconds to do a revive. Anymore of any of those things, the guy is dead along with the medic class.

Hey, you're right, there was no revive on the go in BF2 either. DERP

In fact, I'd say BF2 is a faster game overall than BC2.

[(BG)Patton]

looks like the guns are a bit more inaccurate than in bc2. might be becasuse it was in full auto...

i hope they keep the "burst fire to be accurate" from bc2, i am quite accurate in that game.

BF2 faster than BC2?

Maybe if you only played 24/7 64-player Karkand servers. Otherwise, no.

Sure, but what if its not 15s? What if the amount of time you have to live is based on the amount of damage you have received? A little more if you were shot somewhere non fatal, plus maybe you have limited mobility....then I can see dragging being useful, and I think it would be a pretty cool aspect of the game.

Note, I could care less if its in or not just making conversation.

Well, thats true and my point. In order to do dragging, something is going to have to be adjusted to allow the time for that to happen. We cant have a "last stand" mode because then it wont be a Battlefield game. We cant change the spawn time, because then it wont be a Battlefield game. We cant change revive because then it wont be a Battlefield game.

Soooo, no drag in MP.

Yes if it was 30 sec it would work.

Whats with this earth quake thing? are they a every day thing in tehran?, if not isnt the battlefield bombs enough for excitement? or are they going for overkill.

Its to show what the frostbite engine can do. The sounds and the vibration and seeing things break and crumble. Thatd be pretty awesome to see. Kinda like a nuclear bomb going off

Scripted urban infantry combat is only SP, so that really is not a problem.

And of course there are the same US troops and same US weapons

[troybob]

I, for one, never rely on pre-alpha footage. BF2 looked much better in "pre alpha".

And yes - I want MP. I buy CoD for tunnel FPS singleplayer action!

I was comparing SP BF3 to SP COD, since SP is all we have seen.
The focus on SP disappoints me. MP may be more diffcult to get working, but on the other hand they have managed to get a city map with working scripts and AI for SP, surely we could have seen a couple of vehicles rolling around in a MP map?

You don’t kill COD by trying to be COD. You kill COD by making a better shooter.

I think DICE shuld listen to this man.
