    Besides pictures; I read the game pushed off BFBC2's other DLC. BF3, is suppose to use the new frostbite 2 engine, total dx11. PC is suppose to have up to 64 players, consoles 24. It is suppose to be a PC first, console second.

    I also heard that the destructibility was taking things to the next level over the cheese of BFBC2

    I am going to have to build a new computer for this one I suspect. My current rig will roll over and die before it runs that.

    Yeah... this and Skyrim, my PC is going to need a refresh. :unamused:

    Graphics look pretty sick.

    Cool, but it all looks pretty scripted.

    Its SP, why wouldn't it be scripted? You want the AI to stand there and pick their noses?

    Nah, just makes it less impressive than if it was dynamic AI doing the breaching.

    Scripted is WAY different than "poorly written AI." But I see your point I guess...

    Exaggerated Example: If I walk up to a door, hold E and then the door/wall blows out, my team rushes in slow mo with helicopters crashing through the building at the same time wiping out 246 of the seemingly 250 baddies inside leaving me 4 dudes to shoot slowmo while they take 3 years to aim their weapons and still miss... that's scripted. The Call of Duty flavor of FPS.


    If I run into a building and have to sweep room by room against good AI, that's fun. For me, that video is a playable movie until 2 minutes, where it starts to actually show off gameplay. If the game plays like the last 30-45 seconds of the clip, it'll be awesome. If it plays more like all 3 minutes, it'll be really boring SP.

    To Dihms point, it doesn't look like you have a choice to do anything until after 2 minutes in. Everything is pre-done. If I beat someone to the door by sprinting, then I should breach. If I'm nowhere close, AI should do it. And not the same formation every time. That's probably too much to ask, though.

    Just my opinion.

    Wait, people actually play the single player modes of these games? Just saying :lol:

    Yes I do play SP. Its intro and trailer. It would not be as "drawing you in" if we just threw you down into 2 minutes without getting some 'setup'.

    Bad AI: AI stackup takes too long and they wait. AI gets stuck in cover. AI has ass hanging out of cover. (I mean like they just cover their heads)

    I'll probably play it for like 10 minutes then as wtf I'm doing and get on multiplayer.

    Its a gorgeous game, and I haven't played a good SP FPS in a while, so I'll play it when I'm bored, prolly. But yeah. I'm buying this for MP sooooooooooooo
