Battlefield 3 EOD bots can arm MCOM stations and repair vehicles

Demize, stated that EOD bots can arm MCOM stations and repair vehicles

[Pandamobile]

Haha, awesome

[Trunkz]

I can see it now, one team is completely engineers and you see all these robots coming at everyone and winning the game while everyone is still at the main base controlling the robots XD

Makes me wonder if snipers will get a mini UAV to use to scout and spot, etc.

[Convas]

Well see, that will be beautiful for me. We just need a few folk to hang back and keep up appearances.

A whole team staying together spamming EOD bots in the same location? HA! My PP2000 with magnum ammo will see to them quite nicely.

[callmedom94]

So many little things in this game that seem great

[chak_]

yeah, getting close to "everything"

Missing commander artillery/supply drop/uav and I'm fine.

Right now I'm only 199% satisfied :p

Damn those last 2 months are going to be lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng

[HenryFord]

I have to agree - waiting for this is terrible - I want to play RIGHT NOW!

[CaptCalvin]

Nobody remembers the destructable bonus assets like artillery gun batteries, uav consoles etc and the complete set of squad options like custom name, invite, kick, lock, drop command markers etc?

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

Yeah!!!! ohh sorry D: i mean..

[SLEDGE]

I kinda figured it could fix vechiles, but armin mcoms?! :D
That is gonna be fun.
"Arm bomb, park two meters away, and see players rush in to defuse... do not move.
Bomb defused, Arm again"
No one will ever know >:D

[darksied]

Now they will :)
And I'm specifically going to be looking for this tactic, thanks!

[SLEDGE]

NOOOOO!

[Anti-Fanboyer]

It's very easy to take them out.

[SLEDGE]

Yeah, maybe a burst would be enough to destroy it.

hmm.. what if you have a mate put a C4 on it... drive it around like a RC-XD :O

[callmedom94]

I'm assuming that it will show up on your screen, so if I ever see one, I will most likely just shoot it or try and blow it, just so that doesn't happen ;p

[Urrakia34]

Why would you try and blow a little robot?! Don't rob him of his innocence!

[Dynasty2021]

I feel a nerf coming already, seems like something people will instantly start to exploit.

Smaller, faster target to hit and it can win games?

Hmm.

Probably the first thing so far regarding BF3 I have felt negative about.

[Tru_Blu]

I'm sure they'll be easy to destroy. Any even 1/4 of a competent team is going to notice a little robot driving toward the MCOM lol.

Also from that footage they just released they make a distinct high pitch whining sound so not like they are some stealth ninja that is going to sneak in your base.

[SixZeroFour]

who was answering those questions? cause the way some of them (or more specifically the last 4 q&a) were answered seemed like the person answering them were slightly unsure of the answers given

[Anti-Fanboyer]

It's taken from a live feed Q&A, interviewing two DICE employees. They had to be careful about what they say, so they kept looking into their papers in front of them. Anything could change in the final game.

[Skate-AK]

NICEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Northtouch]

Veeeeeery NICEEEEEEEEEEE!

[AO1JMM]

Awesome!!!

[SITH]

It can also kill people. Have a friend place some C4 on it... and boom no more battlefield for you.

[latinalover]

can EOD kill other soldiers?

[sovietsoldier]

great now i dont have to break cover to repair tank.

[DeadlyFire]

or destroy it with C4 bot.

[trenso1]

nice but does it really need to be able to arm an mcom? i think that a little bit over doing but cant wait to see the final product in the game
