Even though the release is roughly a year away, I'm still really pumped for this game.
BF2, BF2142, and BFBC2 were pretty much my life for a little bit. I spent an entire summer doing nothing but playing 2142 lol :p

For anyone who's following the development as closely as I am, here is a great source for news:

So, for all the BF fans out there, what do you guys want to see in BF3?

Should commander mode make a return? Should there be a do not revive option? How big should squads be, and should people be able to spawn on anyone? Can we have a big ass bomber to fly? Expectations for Frostbite 2.0?

Discuss.
 
I for one would love it if they made it so that we could choose different types of battlefields.
Some examples would be:
Modern
WW2
American Civil War
Medieval

Heck it would just be awesome if they did that^^ But then again I would be asking for to much:p
 
>>Even though the release is roughly a year away, I'm still really pumped for this game.

It said Fall 2011 :p

I'm looking forward to it even though I don't game anymore, BF2 was always fun for me. It was just too glitchy and never smooth. That's all I ask for this game, to be polished.

edit:

other problems were that people always wanted to fly the airplanes or helicopters and would just sit around in base if they weren't spawned up. not to mention teamkilling if someone other than them got the vehicle.
 
Here's what I think it needs:

1. All this
2. Driving ships and really big planes
3. Maps with important places and landmarks, i.e. Pentagon/White House, Saddam's Palace, Forbidden City
4. USA vs PRC vs MEC vs Russia, probably in a war for energy and resources
5. Destructibles - no more adamantium haystacks that hurt your tank when driving into them and protect infantry from tank shells; craters and traces of explosions and bullets would be nice, too


Aside from that, it looks promising. I hope the devs don't let the game stray from the franchise.
 
I'm semi-excited. Or I was until I heard the maps they're gonna put in. Gulf of Oman and Karkand, now I'm REALLY excited!
 
Even though the release is roughly a year away

that is, unless you get into the beta, which starts sometime in march or april *cough* me *cough*
:3

i can't wait for this game. its my num. 1 awaited game. i've gotten tired of BC2 after over 1500 hours played and every platinum star acquired. d2.0 should be awesomer than bc2 i hope

>>Guess what game's sounds are gonna blow my ears off?!

"But games is games!"
 
Pre-ordered a week ago. Very pumped, there is leaked footage of an epic earth quake scene but its been taken down everywhere.
 
Fire mode changes you say?

I was playing this http://battlefield.play4free.com/en/home
What is?
It has those same maps, lol, Oman and Karkand.

Anyway, I used to be interested in Battlefield. Got the pre-order, never got the game. So I lost interest. But I played around with 1 and 2 at friends' every now and then and it was pretty fun. Looks cool.
 
sadly, those are the graphics on PC, they are going to have to cut down a bit for the console version because of the system holding it back
 
Battlefield 3 has just set the highest possible standard of modern gaming.

Graphic standard, tyvm, but yea, the gameplay looks promising :D

I love how tanks blow up buildings. It was irritating how your tank basically stopped when hitting the edge of a haystack

Edit:
Ops, I'm repeating myself

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done
    +1
  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
