EDIT: Here it is via Youtube.

Original: Head on over to Origin.com for the FIRST EVER look at the Battlefield 3 multiplayer!

As soon as we can, we'll try to get a locally hosted video up here.

I gotta say that I got a very COD MP feeling from that video.. Not good.

there are certain aspects i did not like, and some other that got me exited

it seems the knife will work somehow in a "lock" way, like AVP, halo assassinations and killzone? I think it would be cooler if the one beeing knifed would be given a chance to fight back if the enemy was in front of you? i need to see more

Also most of the buildings i see do not seem enterable, wich makes me think their destruction will just be scripted on the outside... everything seems pretty mutch solid wich makes me think about what cover is there to blow if it seems everything else is solid? also was that huge awesome explosion a bf2 style artillery strike? that would be epic. Also i loved the way the body was interacting to the environment, after all it seems in multiplayer you will also fly away if there is an explosion near you, and i loved the way you could see your body jumping off that high place

whos good enough to read some weapon names (am a bit wasted ha)

it looked good to me, reminded me a lot of BC2 of course, but then again carrying over some of its improvements a good idea

will only know what to really think (so far looks ok tbh) once I have seen/learned more and seen some wider maps in action

Health is now shown in a % in the bottom right. Looks like only 4 person squads

Looks amazing overall though :)

How does any of the destruction look scripted?

Re: Article: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Trailer "Operation Metro"

Actually, if it looks scripted, that may be good. If they can make impromptu destruction look like it was somewhat realistic, that is a massive feat.

looks amazing however the bc2 style map and font needs to be changed. also, 4 person squads also need to be changed. i really like the look and feel to the weapons and the force of the explosions.

i didnt see anything that showed a commander position tho. perhaps that is for bigger maps.

Re: Article: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Trailer "Operation Metro"

It's already been stated that there will be no Commander.

The mini map says liniar alot like cod,lets hope im wrong and dice have learnt to make maps bigger than a death match arena.

Harvest is a good size map to me,nice and wide too

[Anarchy1]

The mini map does look linear, but they are playing Rush in the video, which I have always found to be very linear. Maybe the conquest will be less linear. But despite the map being linear, there does seem to be a variety of locations within the map.

I also believe that DICE said that this game will have some of the biggest maps they have made in it. Maybe I am getting that mixed up with something else though.

They said many of the maps were much bigger than BF2 maps.

[The_Eliminator]

I just cant wait

[SgtMattBaker]

I got a big BC2 feeling from this...

... it does use the same engine.
