New BF3 multiplayer gameplay WITH JETS

[joe]

i agree with nipper - i am not looking forward to bc2v2

also did anyone see if the jets seat 2? like the 2142 gunships

[A Ninja]

I'm thinking they probably do.

[Sizzler]

doesn't look like it, no mig 29s/f15s from BF2

makes sense considering a two-person jet would take up a lot of a 24-player team on the console versions

Goodbye 3D spotting on infantry.

[Sizzler]

If only.

False, 3D spotting is still there. It's been tweaked though - the 3d marker only shows up if you can actually see the person. So no more sitting in a bush and blindly shooting at the glowing tortilla chips for free kills.

i called that "geometry wars"

[SixtyWattMan]

How the hell are they going to know if you can see someone through a bush or not? They should just stick with the minimap spotting.

jets do look slow but maybe thats just to show off gameplay

[brassline]

destruction no longer brings down buildings, just outside layers

destruction no longer brings down buildings, just outside layers

Are you saying that's a good thing or a bad thing? One of the problems I constantly saw in bc2 was that the server would have tickets set to a really high number, and before it even got close to reaching that number, all the buildings and other cover on the map would be completely destroyed. Can't say I won't miss taking down a building that is occupied by a bunch of campers on the enemy team though.

I'm kinda wanting to play the old Battlefield 1942. That was awesome

that's a server setting problem caused by poor administration, not a problem with the game. possible solution would be to scale building HP with # of tickets but the point is they shouldn't break the game to solve that very limited non-standard use case
