[QUOTE="NVIDIATI"] Just donate the old parts :P I have an 8800GT sitting doing absolutely nothing. Mind you I do also plan on building a new PC by the end of this year, my Q6600/HD5870 are starting to show some age.

The old part would be a GTX570 and I think I will sell that and put the money towards my new GPU (if needed to max BF3) ;).

lol no I said I am going to sell it, not donate. If it was a piece of junk maybe lol, but I cannot donate a GTX570. I am not made of money you know :P.

To me neither. With the medic weapons you want to hold back and give cover. Yet because of having medikits you're always in the frontline. Now the assault will be able to recover health during combat, and the ammo may finally be of use as there are fewer people up front with ammo boxes. Assault takes the greatest risks and can get the highest points through rezzing/healing. Sounds great to me.KungfuKitten

The medic/assault soldier is called RIFLEMEN. They are hybrid soldiers: can choose between advanced medical tools (defib) or under-barreled attachments (grenade launchers).

I didn't like the combo; I think that Engineers would fit better using PDWs/SMGs (P90, MP7, Magpul PDW...) and Medics then would use carbines (M4, SCAR-L, HK 416...) and Assault full rifles (M16A2, Barret Rec 7...) or even designated marksman rifles (FN MK 23, M110 SSAS...).

but seems so far that works in that way:

-Riflemen: assault rifles, and either defibrillator or underbarrel attachments, and health packs.

-Support: light machineguns, ammunition boxes.

-Engineer: carbines, tactical flashlight, rocket launchers, repair tool.

-Recon: sniper rifles (or designated marksman ones), C4 demolition charges.

-The squad leader can call some kind of UAVs or mark targets for mortars in some way.

Gamespot is saying that a investor claims BF3 will have 3 times the amount of DLC than Bad Company 2. Not sure if that's a good thing yet. EA may be looking to take advantage of our wallets. Mystic-G

Really? EA is planning to milk Battlefield 3 as much as it can until the next game comes out.

I'm afraid my C2D and my 4850 will render this game ala N64 @ 5 fps.

Man I still dont know how to start. I have to get on it

[QUOTE="Mystic-G"][QUOTE="Alpha-Male22"] How much do u reckon it'd cost to run BF3 minimum? I REALLY want to play it on PC, but I have no money nor the intelligence to understand PC gaming. I still cant tell u the difference between RAM, GPU, and CPU :cry:Alpha-Male22

Man I still dont know how to start. I have to get on it

Still no PS3 footage? I heard they are showing the PC/PS3 version atE3 and I just want to see how it looks.

[QUOTE="Alpha-Male22"]

[QUOTE="Mystic-G"]I'm sure a $600 gaming PC will run the game easily.Mystic-G

Man I still dont know how to start. I have to get on it

What he has been saying. It can be a bit intimidating picking out the right parts, but its not that difficult really. Building the computer is prett simple actually, unless you get a case or part that wants to cause frustrations lol. But its really fun when you get the hang of it. I would say you could run BF3 very well on low settings for $600. Maybe medium but I doubt it, as I am expecting some high requirements. But I might be wrong, we will have to wait and see.

I saw somebody wondering about jumping.

Bf2 had jumping but it killed your sprint. Jumping has never been a big part of the battlefield franchise. The maps were always far to large for it to be of any use. We needed it in BC2 to get over the destruction but they seem to be working on making the destruction work much better in Bf3.

Jumping probably won't be very necessary - I guess it has been transformed into a hybrid jump/vault depending on where you press the space bar.

Best game at E3 for sure.

It's disappointing that the player count is still pretty low on consoles. But other than that the game looks awesome.

Everything is looking amazing, but i personally think that assault should have the ammo boxes. Usually the guys with the assault gun would go in and the Medic with the LMG follows behind and revives. Now that its the opposite you have a guy with a LMG running in lol. smokingsbad

Well medic + LMG = extremely overpowered. Assaults are to much of lone wolves with ammoboxes. The whole point is for teamwork. Make the assault guys have 2 distinct roles, have the support guys have 2 distinct roles. Each class has really 2-3 distinct roles that need to be played in order for the team to be successful.

I remember watching some off cam footage and a guy was jumping. It's just a very small jump. Like in real life if you had to carry all that weight.It's nothing like BC2's jump which had you soaring through the air like Michael Jordan. In BC2 as soon as you start shooting someone they just jump all over the place.

Exactly. The new layout forces teamwork and now medic's won't go rambo style. and the medic is actually needed because we don't have regenerating health anymore (well hopefull anyway) according to the health % bar we saw

BF3 on PC in DX11 looks bloody awesome.On consoles?Well...what to say?5 months to go,no console footage.That tells me enough.People are unfairly comparing 360 footage of MW3 running at 60fps and BF3 footage played on PC,at highest settings and DX11,thats all I got to say.

DICE should show of console footage,instead bragging around and showing absolutely nothing 5 months before it releases.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]Nice details except one. No commander. That's a huge issue imho, in BF2 having a commander coordinating squads was pretty essential at times, during competitive games. It made coordination a helluvalot better and the chain of command system much more interesting. I'm curious to find out why it was removed.Mystic-G

I thought they still had it but it was changed

I'm a PC gamer to,and I agree,but consoles are more than 50% of their revenue and when you are releasing "missleading" trailers and constantly bashing cometition that is actually showing console version running at twice frame rate thats IMO a bit stupid move.Nothing against DICE,just a thought...

Yea,and Crytek said the same but in other order :) Its not that I don't trust them,but,if console version look as good as best looking FPS on consoles they would probably show it proudly.

new 12 minute multiplayer gameplay, looks amazing

So someone told me that BF3 didn't have lean? Is that true? I missed the live e3 conferenceferret-gamer

Doesn't look like it. The game doesn't really need it anyways.

It was a multiplayer area in the DICE booth. They all got to go in and play a full match against each other and then another group came in

I think im the only one hyped for this game on the Wii U :D It means I can sell my milkage 360 finally.The_Pacific

You do know it hasn't been confirmed the game is coming to the Wii U and you'll be waiting at least a year after it is launched to play right?

The problem with commanders they are so damn hit or miss. You're entire team shouldn't suffer because of a bad commander. Giving the squad leaders more power will balance that power and give a much better chance for the team.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Looks like they're replacing it with squad leader, notice the star next to your name? In the Game Informer issue they say they want to make commanding more accessible.

its so unfair in the UK we get nothing. there should be atleast 1 big gaming convention here so we get to check out all the new games.

We know they have some kind of Battlefield in the works for Wii U.

I'm glad jumping is being downplayed or replaced with something better.

Man oh man do I hate when I play a MP match and some dude is hopping around like a rabbit to avoid taking shots. It just instantly breaks all immersion for me, along with being annoying as hell.
