Re: Battlefield 3
Love those videos everything I see for this game makes me want it more. I'm glad it's coming out end of October cause I'll have a few weeks to play before my final project presentation is due. Eagerly awaiting the beta too hopefully they'll have it up until a week before the game comes out like SOCOM 4 did.I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

Re: Battlefield 3
If the game really doesn't require much more than BC2, then the consoles might not really be that much worse besides the maps being a tad smaller and the normal graphics differences.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

Re: Battlefield 3
- Suppression fire bonuses and effect (for support class).
- Riflemen are now medics.
- Ability to opt out of revive.
- Support class responsible for ammo refill.

Classes have also been redesigned in Battlefield 3, giving players new ways to customize their load outs to suit their play style. Riflemen now double as medics, healing players and reviving those who are downed. The Support class is now equipped with a light machinegun and ammo packs, the sniper is a long-range and demolitions expert, and the Engineer is the master of destroying and repairing vehicles. With weapon attachments players can adapt the classes to how they want to play, with Riflemen choosing things like underslung grenade launchers in place of advanced medical equipment, for instance.
The Support class was super important in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 because it could heal, but they’re given a new role in Battlefield 3:suppression. Shooting in an enemy’s general direction is important in real combat, giving your own team a chance to move and gain position while the enemies are frightened into running for cover. Battlefield 3 takes this into account, and anyone firing a hail of lead near foes – something the Support class is especially good at, much more so with a fancy bi-pod attachment – will suppress the enemy. This not only garners points for the shooter, but dims and shakes the screen of those affected. Shooting to kill is an important role, but shooting to provide actual supporting fire is now emphasized as well.
Vehicles have also been tweaked in Battlefield 3, in hopes of making them more fun for both the operator and passengers. Vehicles regenerate small amounts of health when damaged, but in order to heal to full will need the assistance of an Engineer. Vehicles can also be immobilized right before destruction, forcing an Engineer to intervene to save it, and giving the passengers a chance to bail out. The hope is that this will alleviate a lot of the rage that comes from a team jumping into a humvee, only to be destroyed by one well placed rocket. Yes, the rocket might kill the person it blows up right next to, but the whole squad won’t be punished for one crazy driver, or feel like vehicles are death traps.
Two tweaks that stood out during the time I played, and really show DICE’s commitment to making the experience better and better, were the inclusion of prone and the ability to opt out of revive. Prone could be dangerous to the balance, as it makes players incredibly hard to discern at a distance, but to balance this DICE is finding new ways to make the cost match the benefits. You might be harder to see, but your lens will flash if a player looks at it, and getting up and laying down takes time that will cost you if someone is close. Revive was also something that players liked in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, but it was annoying when someone would revive you for points, only to do so when you were going to stand up right in an enemy’s fire. Now you can opt out of a revive, looking to see how safe it is before you make a decision about whether a respawn at a different location would be more effective. It’s a small change, and one of those head-slap inducing choices that seem obvious, but a testament to the time, experience and passion DICE has for making Battlefield 3 as fun and balanced as possible.

Re: Battlefield 3
I'm pretty sure this game won't reach my level of hype, but still won't let me down. I've had dreams about a game before(which never happens to me) and the game was a shooter that resembles BF3 more and more every time I see footage of it. If BF3 turns out to play just like the game I dreamed before, then its by far GOTY over ME3, Elder Scrolls V, LA Noire, or whatever else might rival it.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”
