Yep, saw it this morning, fantastic video, DICE sure knows their shit.
Just noticed the new knifing animation actually grabs the dogtags, nice touch that
Also, I know this is the singleplayer showing, but is it completely unreasonable to think there'll be a "leg-up" button in game? Cause that'd be kinda awesome (more awesome than useful maybe, but awesome nonetheless)

It's not like they don't have a spare button or two in multiplayer, maybe something on the D-pad.Vrach said:Yep, saw it this morning, fantastic video, DICE sure knows their shit.

OT: Gotta give Dice one thing, damn do they know how to make a war video game feel real.
The explosions, the force, the sound is just completely visceral.
Wow, visually that looks very impressive; DICE have certainly surpassed any other shooter I've seen (Crysis possibly excluded).
their trailers are awesome!
their news are terrible!
I am so conflicted as to whether i should get this game
oh the conundrum!

Eh... There's something that's been bugging me about these gameplay trailers.
The reason they look really cool is because there heavily scripted,
and whenever I imagine myself playing the level I'm watching, I can't help but find it boring.
For example, the trailer implies that there is a sequence where you work with another soldier to set up, load, and fire a portable mortor. Barring a mini-game that would break the photo-realism, this will probably be done entirely in cut-scene, with maybe a couple button presses to trigger them. Before that, you're just running down a hill, and while this could be a sequence where you have to dodge enemy fire, it's more likely you'll just be pressing the left stick forward for a minute.
There's a similar moment in the fault line trailer when, after disarming a bomb, you're ambushed by an enemy and fight him of with hand to hand combat; since we all know the only melee input comes from a single button, this sequence will have to either be a quick time event or a cut-scene.
I see this happen a lot in new shooters, where the developers want to put in a sequence that does not fit their control scheme, and decides to solve the problem by minimizing player input during that sequence. And as many site contributors have brought up before, minimizing player input is the last thing you want to do in a game.
So, yah, I'm going on record as saying the BF3 campaign will be a letdown to many. I still pre-ordered the game, but did it for the multiplayer. Incidentally, I feel the depth of experience possible in games like Battlefield proves that devs should be able to make compelling, realistic experiences with-out leaving their shooting control scheme, thus eliminating these half-assed interludes into melee, battlefield mechanics and what have-you.

As much as I am a battlefield fanboy, could we please stop talking about CoD and Battlefield as if they are "Realistic"? Even Dice Said that BF3 is not a realistic military simulator. What they have actually said, is that its an AUTHENTIC military action game. Authentic and Realistic are not necessarily the same thing.
Edit: Before someone calls me a **** or something like that, I am not directing this at anyone in particular other than the escapist frontpage newscrew, who said "It looks like someones going for realism!"

Looks kind of boring to me. I mean the graphics look fantastic but...
I LOVED the sniper trailer because it was so intense, with them only taking one shot. This one? Meh.

Holy shit.
This ain't no Batman, but it still looks to be the best shooter that's come out in a long time.

Does not liking anything mainstream make you feel indie in the pants?Deshara said:
Grow up. These trailers are awesome whether they're mainstream or not.
