My guess is that the attacking side in rush mode has 3 options; infantry, jets, and/or heli. Defenders might have access to AA and MAYBE tanks. However, if infantry is the only option I can definitely see it being a massacre in every game mode simply because one side can just sit and snipe base jumpers off the cliff or in the air.
Why are people bitching about this; u can certainly still buy it used, and then buy the online pass for like 10 bucks.
Read past the title; basically they're toning it down. As soon as you make a move your immunity is gone.
Not to flame, but if you looked a bit into this info you would find a couple of sources that have actually played more recent builds of the game and say that the issues that were prevalent in the BETA are nowhere to be seen. That's not to say the game at launch will be flawless, but I have no doubt it will be leagues beyond what we experienced during the BETA.
I don't know if you guys know how bright a tactical light is irl, but DICE pretty much nailed it. My only qualm about its intensity is during outdoor levels where the light is unrealistically effective. However, indoor areas of metro is exactly the place where a tac light would be a monster weapon; the fact that people say its OP is actually a good sign that it's working as it really is intended to.
How delusional can you be? No one is doubting that PC gfx can and often times are better. But to say that some console games still look shitty when compared to PC exclusives is simply stupid. The difference from 720p to to true 1080p isn't exceptional or amazingly different (at least I can't see it), not as much as it is from 480p-720p.
yea, but it's not gonna take 5-6 shots to kill you like in BC2, its more like 3-4 in core mode and, I'm assuming, 1-2 shots in hardcore.
Funny thing is that there's a white bold note when starting up the BETA that says exactly the opposite...
Cutscenes are fine, just as long as there isn't one every 10 minutes with like 5 minutes of gameplay in between; THAT's annoying. I think that scenes in game will always be the best way to tell a story or convey a feeling. That's not to say there aren't any other ways.
People need to realize that not everything NEEDS to change in video games; some ideas work and are thus preferable or compliment certain game types.
It could've also been the reason why the chimera just stopped taking prisoners to transform them into more chimera. Nonetheless, while the importance of that tower is undeniable, I feel like it shouldn't have been as key as they portrayed it to be.
I was very disappointed in the ending; I remember sitting there saying, "this can't be it...there's more, right?" Funny thing is how the hell was destroying that one tower supposed to turn back the tide?! I'd understand if destroying the tower stopped the chimera reinforcements from coming through, but no way in hell was that ONE tower the key to everything.
@Ace_Pheonix I thought the M14 shoots 7.62mm rounds?
Those are the spotting buttons on consoles. Pressing down on the d-pad would be better.
There's a couple things we console gamers are missing out over the PC version, but overall we'll be getting a GREAT product. I believe they'll be toning down the map sizes to make the action more intense for consoles, the max player size, and basically the gfx.
However, I do think that we'll still be getting the basic gameplay style in console rush that we'd get in PC rush. If there's one thing PC gamers found out in BC2 is that going against 16 defend...
While it's undeniable the tech is horribly outdated, it's up to the devs to make use of what the systems currently have. If people don't like the way the visuals look on consoles, play on PC.
I'm holding onto the fact that consoles are getting more and more expensive to buy, not to mention games, and the cost of living is also increasing. I, myself, am a gfx whore, but I can't afford to but spend 1k on a PC as much as i'd like to.
Wit...
Wow, it's Susano. Fail on his part...lol.
You kidding me?! What you expect and what happens are two different things. Besides there's a number of reasons why a small number of rubble apparently came off the building. For one, its an alpha; it hasn't been optimized nor worked over. Two, how about on a technical scale, how much memory and processing do you think it would take to produce photo-realistic destruction.
The problem doesn't lie in the cell processor, but in the dated gfx cards that all current gen consoles use. The total amount of dedicated gfx memory that both the 360 and PS3 use is 512MB. By today's standards, that is really, really bad. I run a single core comp with and 1GB AGP vid card and I can STILL run some modern games at high settings. I am planning to upgrade, but my bank is broke atm. X(
EA isnt the developer; they're the publisher and it would be in their best interest to have a good scoring game. I think they're jumping the gun tho...BF3 wont need it.
