Yeah 12 minutes of actual footage we haven`t seen before would be something cool. Regurg footage is, well pretty cheap imho.

Thats the thing, they could boost the static emplacements that are frankly pointless in bf2. All that needs to happen is that they can only be used by an anti-air class.

Just give said class a poor primary assault weapon in the same manner as the antitank and you'll prevent the class being flooded.

Just like in antitanks in bf2, a decent co-ordinated effort of players in at class take out tanks... same should be posible with planes.

Exactly. I can't touch a vehicle in some maps when there's decent pilots without getting 'sploded within seconds. There's no counter from the ground. So okay, maybe 4 people get to have fun flying around in their planes, but the other 60 of us have to deal with it without any way of fighting back.

Yeah, decent AA would be nice.

Umm yes, give a man his jet, he's happy right.

Saps on the ground suffer for it on both sides when all said jet pilots are only interested in repletedley attacking the spawn points for a score haul.

Dice realy had the bollox they'd do a an anti-air class, stinger missiles yo!!

Aircraft are great, they mix it up, make battlefield... battlefield, just in bf2 in the hands of anything other than a novice, there an unbalanced entity.

Same **** goes down in bf3, the core will want IO servers like bf2.

Screw you. Jets are part of the damned experience. They didn't ruin BF2, they made BF2. BFBC2 is so damned boring because there are no jets and because there's too much damn infantry focus in a game that originally had all aspects of war- air, land, and sea

Half the crazy over-populated servers in BF2 were Karkand servers, and there's a lot of Blue Pearl servers last I checked. No jets there. There's plenty of people who don't share your opinion. Of course, a game like this isn't going to be the same thing for everyone.

Jets did not ruin BF2, but you are right, a lack of effective AA did. There were no MANPADS, the AA vehicles were more useful as IFV's than anything else, the missile homing was wonky.

Speaking of which, homing missiles are BORING. Optically guided missiles are fine, but for air-to-air, cannons and proximity rockets are best for fun. Screw realism, this is battlefield.

It is pretty strange that they're focusing the marketing campaign on the SP component when BF has always been about MP. I'm not sure who they're trying to cater to, as nobody really cares about the generic single-player campaigns of military shooters.

On a side note, DICE actually publicly stated that they prefer using PC as the lead platform and that it makes multiplatform development easier. Naturally, that doesn't make any sense. Designing a game for a high-end PC and then trying to scale it down to 5-year-old hardware + a much more limited control scheme is not easy. That's why multiplatform development typically uses the lowest common denominator (consoles) as the lead platform. The PC has enough power and flexibility to handle any port with relative ease, whereas the same cannot be said for X360 and PS3.

Fuck any Cinematic shooter, cinematic doesn't warrant a memorable experience, just overblown over hyped trash. I hope the multiplayer and botmatches are still good.

What is this, are they trying to put a story or something together for BF3? Tell me they aren't trying to go down that path and giving their game a "deep meaning" or some hooey like CoD tried. Hey Dice/EA here's how the story should go:

"You're on a 32 v 32 map. There's some tanks, there's some jets. You know the drill by now people."

Being a long-time BF junkie, I find it a tad peculiar that I'm nowhere near as interested or excited as I thought I would be at the prospect of another BF game on the horizon. I believe it could be "quasi-realistic modern war shooter burnout"; I'm likely just sick of seeing US Army dudes running around yet another set of desert maps.

Now tell me about BF2143 being in production, and things might change in a hurry...

There's no way in hell that was a developer's move.

Publisher... for sure.

That's where I fault the developer for letting the actual final product be not just worse or changed, but absolutely unacceptable. I know the wrap with producers and publishers, but there's a line that has to be drawn to where the developer can somewhat be prodded for such complicict behavior.

Damn it , I saw jets---they ruined BF2.
Hopefully there is a server side option to turn them off and at the very least a one shot missle that does tons damage requiring them to land to repair with a long repair timer as well. Not that fly over the airfield/carrier and have instant repair. As well they should have to land to rearm, again with a long timer before they can take off again.

Game looks sweet though

The devs had to be complicit in that since they had to do the programming. Something like that was probably planned since at least the halfway development point.
Anyway, what I did was just wait and buy the game and all its DLC on one of those $10 sales. That way I get the whole game, and I don't get nickel and dimed to death.

Which is the concerning part. They have only showed a very tiny tiny amount over and over and over.

That's not concerning. This is how this sort of thing works. The devs focused on polishing a small demo showing a small bit of the game; they gave this to the marketing or whatever guys, who made some nice videos of it. They probably also used it internally to show the progress they've made to the execs. And keep in mind how long they've been showing these clips: this demo build was probably put together a while ago.

This is simple quality over quantity. It's better to demo a tiny bit with close-to-final-quality, than everything at obvious, half-broken pre-alpha quality.

I concur. I really want BF3 but this certainly is not a Dice move, you can clearly make out EA written all over it.

Let us not hate the dev for the publishers obvious commercial shortcomings.

Only hate the dev, when they do what Mafia II's developers did, by GUTTING the product into DLC mince meat before launch.
