That is my problem.. I love, looove playing the past BF's on my PC, I get to own shit with keyboard and mouse.. But all mydamn friends have 360 and they want to play this game..

Screw the inferior nuts.

Just read that BF3 is going to include jets. I'm going to have to hold off purchasing until I see how that works out. Jets absolutely killed the original BF. The dominated the whole map to the point all you were was cannon fodder if you weren't flying.

Ugh, hope they manage to balance it this time.

Maybe they'll have some SAMs you can capture.

They had SAMs in BF2 and the jets would lock on and blow them up with you sitting on them from 3 miles out.

- lock on
- fly away
- turn around and fire

No chance in hell of a fair fight.

BF3 wins best action game and best online multiplayer at E3 - http://www.gamecriticsawards.com/winners.html

Deserving, IMO.

I don't think that's the kind of SAM they were talking about. He probaly means an actual radar guided SAM that has more range. It would require capture and effectively neutralize air cover until it is taken by the attacking team.


EDIT: I just realized that I replied to a 2 month old post.

Yeah, they added those Vulcans in BFBC2 to counter the chopper domination, I'm hoping they'll just have something like that from the get-go in BF3.

can't stop watching this

Oh man this game is gonna be bad ass. It looks like they improved the gun play.Why can't they evolve like this with Call of Duty. I won't buy another COD until they create a new engine. What are we on now the fifth game on the same engine? It's getting ridiculous.

I hope they do something to even the playing field better than they did in BF2. I love the BF franchise, it's easily my favorite multiplayer game. A good squad with Ventrillo to boot and I'm occupied for hours but I'll still wait and see how they handle the jets before buying the game at full retail because once EA implements a design it rarely gets changed no matter how much yelling and screaming the player base produces.

If their too overpowering I'll buy it 6 or 12 months down the road for 1/2 price and stick to BC2.

I think maybe some kind of shoulder mounted AA missile should be in order, but maybe only give the player 1 round so the planes have a chance too. The AT rounds were very difficult to use against choppers and impossible against jets.

I'm more worried about the reported 30 FPS on the consoles, honestly.

Heh. F consoles! PC FTW!
