Re: Four Page Multi-Player Fact Sheet Released for Battlefield 3

Yes it's very slow to start, I only saw my vehicle regenerating once in the alpha. Like I said somewhere else, the only time it could actually be useful is in big maps, if you're far from the frontline and a plane bomb you but doesn't kill you and doesn't come back you can regenerate by the time you reach the battle.

Still no decent boats/ships

What's the CITV station?

Yep, the naval warfare is definitely out of BF, while Arma 3 now have submarines and you can swim underwater :'(

"Canister Shells"
I think I have just found a replacement for my beloved 40mm shotgun

I did dribble at the possibility, find where all the infantry are at and bombard lol

but I'm hoping that due to the fact sheets you can customise the underbarrel shotgun with stuff like slugs

Still no decent boats/ships

the amphibious armoured vehicle looks cool though

What's the CITV station?

apparently it is the 3rd slot in the tank (tanks can have 3 occupants now) and can look 360 degrees around the tank and, well dunno beyond that, call out enemies I guess

3 occupants? Did DICE say that, or is it just a rumor?

At around 45 seconds into the new trailer, the guy is in a T90, and there are 3 slots listed to the left of the ammo counter, one being occupied by him. Also, at 1:39 player LAZA blows up a single Abrams with his tank and gets 3 kills.

Very interesting, I wonder how that is going to work.
As far as I can see, the driver still has turret control and there is only one extra MG.
So is it just a passenger seat? That could be nice for spawning squadmates of course.

The third seat must be reserved for the one holding the beers.

Re: Four Page Multi-Player Fact Sheet Released for Battlefield 3

The third seat is the loader, the player must succeed in several exciting mini-games like Tetris, Pacman or Space Invader and QTE to be able to load the shell. If he fail, he has to finish this level in perfect mode or the shell fall and explode in the tank killing all the crew.

Hummm actually that's not that bad, I'll open a thread on EA UK.

[(BG)Patton]

is there any word on some 'all kit" weapons or special goodies like the M1 garand?

Re: Four Page Multi-Player Fact Sheet Released for Battlefield 3

PDW's are all kit weapons, but nothing about veteran unlocks

Re: Four Page Multi-Player Fact Sheet Released for Battlefield 3

I think the addition of the AAV is very nice. RHIBs are floating targets, and the guns on them in BF2 are pitifully weak. At least an Armored Amphibious Vehicle stands half a chance of making land. If they revisit Wake Island in BF3, adding 2 AAVs would make the map much better.

I'm also excited about the FIM-92 anti-air missile.

I know DICE really tried to balance BF2 as much as possible, but lets face it. You could really OWN in the air. Especially if you had a few hundred hours playing time in a jet and got to know where all the IGLA's were. Good pilots even got to know where the Linebackers and Tungsta's were and could take them out with good efficiency. Having Anti Air on soldiers means you can get shot down from ANYWHERE! I love it. No more air whores.

On a side note, back in my TWL days, I remember playing a 32vs32 clan match on Dragon Valley. We made sure that every IGLA (all 7) was constantly manned, and the mobile AV was manned. This freed our jets and choppers up to do air suppression. After a while, the USMC choppers were afraid to cross the 1st hill, and very rarely got past Market. It was a very effective team tactic, and a match easily won.

Didn't you had 2 LAV-25 acting as AAV on Wake or I have a bad memory?
