Re: Battlefield 3

^^^The first group should read that Assault carries medical equipment if you remove under barrel.

Also, EA claims that more PS3 and Xbox360 footage was shown at their conference. Not just PC stuff.

The way I understand is is basically the kits from the assault and medic classes in BC2 were swapped. Medical equipment is now with the assault class and the ammo kits are now with the LMG class, which was the medic class in BC2.


I think the Operation Metro multiplayer trailer was PS3 footage.

there is no more proper "Medic" class. good riddance.
As an assault you have the option of dropping an under barrel fitting (nade launcher, shotgun) for a syringe (or similar). Assault no longer carries ammo as you mentioned as it is for support Heavy MGunner. Sounds like they are balancing the crappy parts of BC2. Also think that you will no longer be able to spawn on just anyone. I assume (hope) it has to be a commander like in BF2.

Re: Battlefield 3

Apparently Recon won't be exactly the same, as there is no ghillie suit and they said they've made it harder to 'run and gun'. Hoping that means no quick scoping.

I read somewhere that was one of the main things they were goig to try to eliminate. Rifles are going to sway a lot more so that hold your breath is pretty necessary in most cases.

And here comes the exclusivity BS.

No doubt they'll be more exclusive guns all from different retailers down the road.

I don't like the whole holding your breathe thing in games. Has anyone actually held a rifle before and shot it? Either I have amazingly steady hands or don't know how to hold my breathe properly. There is no need to hold your breath in real life when aiming down a scope. It is just a gimmick-like feature in my eyes.

I know its for balancing, but find another way to do it. Do something more realistic that actually would be a problem when trying to quick scope.

Snipers are taught to hold their breathe under certain circumstances. I know several in sniper school and a good friend who was an airborne ranger. It is a proper technique used... back in the day they used to take diazepam.

Regulating your breathing is one of the most important thing you can do while shooting. It is absolutly the most realistic thing you can do for sniping in a video game.

Umm... we're not talking about shooting beer cans with your BB gun here, this is war dude! j/k

Re: Battlefield 3

When I shoot, I hold my breath in order to keep my aim true. You just must have really good aim or really steady hands.

[canes21]

Re: Battlefield 3

I guess I have really steady hands then. I do breathe slower when shooting, but I don't hold my breathe.

A little off topic, but its about my hands... When doing some filming before, I have been able to keep the camera completely still when standing straight up, so I guess I have steady hands...

You dont hold your breath during the squeeze of a trigger, you breath THROUGH the squeeze of the trigger. Think about it, what happens when you hold your breath, your heart is pumps a bit more blood which is why your hands move along with your heart beat when you hold your breath looking down a scope. 100M or less it doesnt matter because the trajectory isnt really a big deal, 150m and out though that little movement will throw your shot way off.

I'm sorry, I misspoke. If you hold your breath all the way through, you're going to miss. Thanks for clarifying my mistake.
