The firefight towards the end is impressive, bullets bouncing all around and realistic dust/debris.
Frostbite 2 game engine is supposed to be amazing, it certainly looks that way.

There's a video of how the game engine will work in mP a few pages back, think BC2 but better  that's the only way to put it.

Am I missing a trick playing COD over this then? I think we've talked about it before. I downloaded the demo of the last one and I didn't like it, but apparently that's because I played it like COD

Yeah Brett, you have to play BF differently. I liked it, but prefered the mayhem in COD.

It's completely different, the only similarity is you shoot a gun everything is different, more team oriented, fuck off huge maps, a good choice of vehicles. BF takes skill to even shoot someone, in COD you can just run around and shoot randomly and hit someone. If you do that in BF you would get picked off by a sniper a mile away. If you played it for a month I doubt you would go back to COD. Just dont go in to it comparing it to COD, as it's far from it.

Totally different game tbh Brett. In COD you run and gun and theres very little team work, the maps are also tiny compared to BF so its very quick in comparison. In BF the team that works together is invariably the one that wins, the maps tend to be large and strategy is key.
COD is good for a blast on your own, or for a laugh with mates
BF is good when you can get a decent squad of people together and fancy something a bit more challenging.

See i think theres more mayhem in BF. In COD you can quite happily just camp around in corners and the maps are always the same. In BF the maps are different every single time you play because shit keeps getting blown to pieces
For instance on BFBC2 id find a really good sniping spot on a map, could stay there for ages and rack up some kills, then the next time i played that map a tank might come along and ruin my spot, forcing me to change my plans. That is one of the challenges of this game and what makes it so good.

There's so much satisfaction blowing a hole in the side of a sniper house, then watching them run or calling arty and seeing it collapse. Even more satisfaction shooting down helis with a tank.

Even more satisfaction sniping a heli pilot I can just imagine the shock of flying along perfectly fine then out of nowhere...dead

That looks incredible, almost looks like a film
IMO Core on BF3 should have similar health to BC2 Hardcore, and BF3 Hardcore should have less health. There is no way I should have to hit someone twice with a sniper in Hardcore. COD seems like time crisis after playing BC2.

if you get uprated ammo the m25, m95 and GOL ( i think thats what they are called) are both 1 shot kill anywhere.
the damage in BF2 was a joke, you could shoot someone with an entire magazine and not kill them.. something to do with the hit boxesi believe, ive noticed vietnam has better damage model than bc2 does, and they should get rid of this hardcore/softcore bullshit. Kust have 1 damage model, get rid of all there perks and just have correct weapon ballistics.
bring back damage model like rainbow six : raven shield.. now that was amazing..
gone are the days where using a grenade was actaully a tactical decision.. now its just throw and pray..

If you hit a limb it doesn't seem to kill them even using the M95. Got to be a head or torso shot to kill them in one.
