Spoiler

Tuesday, 16 August, 2011 at 12:41 PST | ^Scott^
We couldn't resist not taking some screencaps from the Caspian Border trailer that was released today. The trailer has some amazing shots of the map and of course jet gameplay we have all been waiting for. You'll notice in the first screencap and also ~30 seconds into the trailer you can see a soldier being stabbed and dog tags being ripped from his neck. Here's 30 1080p screencaps:

Directly after today’s EA pre-Gamescom Press Conference, the EA UK community team got an exclusive chance to sit down with Karl Magnus Troedsson from DICE and talk about the newly announced co-op mode for Battlefield 3, how the command rose is making a very late addition to the PC version of the game and how to powerslide a Humvee.

Tom and Rich from Newbreview.com, along with our very own Staff Writer, Adam, recorded this exclusive interview that you can stream or download below. Be sure to check the EA UK Gamescom page later tonight for the full transcript along with impressions of the EA Conference and the games on show.

Ah I didn't look at all of the pages, interesting, 350 customization, wonder how many are actually unlockable.

 

[Black Haru]

haha you and Kurgan both have the same view point.

I will pre order BF3 once I find out that SW:TOR isn’t going to be released a week later (should know in Spetember).

I should anyway and just play it casually with mah TPU fam (I’m just sure I won’t play much once SW:TOR comes out).

EDIT* anyone planning on renting server space this time around? it was nice playing with TPUers at launch.

I haven't heard anything, but I bet there will be at least one.

 

[BumbleBee]

does the co-op in BF3 have split-screen on any platforms?

 

[1Kurgan1]

does the co-op in BF3 have split-screen on any platforms?

Doubt thats known at this time, but I would assume so on console, but BF3 console makes me a sad panda, just the wrong platform for something this epic.

 

[BumbleBee]

I am going to buy 2 copies. I think it will be alright with 24 players. so limited edition is all you can buy? EA isn't launching with a collectors edition?

 

[GullyFoyle]

PWNED: GamesCom EA Press Conference plus Exclusive Battlefield 3 Interview

Battlefield 3: Co-op Demo Better quality than the last link I posted. Supposedly, this demo was on the PS3.

Seven new in-game screenshots added to official screen-shot page. I think I see my new desktop pic in there...

 

[Jegergrim]

Pre-ordered 4 copies for me and my friends ! Olee

Problem with 24, is I doubt maps will be any smaller than PC, plus they are designed to allow Jets some flying room. A 24 player server is just going to be a Sniper fest. If console does allow split screen (I would assume so), whats the reason in buying 2 copies? I say buy 2 for PC and give the other to whoever you want to co-op with, then just the rest of us from TPU for some games.

Pre-ordered 4 copies for me and my friends ! Olee

Can I be your friend?

 

[CDdude55]

Can I be your friend?

Same here. lol

 

[BumbleBee]

some of my friends and family don't have a high end PC like me and I like to collect.

 

[1Kurgan1]

This is one of the cross platform titles that is actually pushing the PC side of things, looks amazing. Most cross platform titles lack so many things. With even just a good PC the choice seems clear (join us!).

 

[BumbleBee]

I don't know many people that even have a desktop PC anymore.

 

[Killer_Rubber_Ducky]

Thats your first problem. Listening to Caboose.

joke dude joke

Every last person on TPU? Get your rig runnin right and join us on TS.

[1Kurgan1]

Jets slightly faster than BF2, after the previous discussion, I feel that will start a debate. And 2 versions on Conqest, Lame Mode and Real Conquest?

 

[f22a4bandit]

Wow...I think I wet myself after that Caspian video...

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

Jets slightly faster than BF2, after the previous discussion, I feel that will start a debate. And 2 versions on Conqest, Lame Mode and Real Conquest?

Can you explain the difference between the two modes?

Also, we won't know how fast the jets are until we fly them (in game). But they seem fast.

 

[1Kurgan1]

Can you explain the difference between the two modes?

Well if they are referring to one as "Conquest" and the other as "Conquest 64", me thinks that them mentioning the size in one of them means the previous one is 24 (like consoles) or 32. But 24 would make more sense as it would give them a better idea of what to balance and the difference between the platforms if they had servers of the same size.

 

[boise49ers]

I don't know many people that even have a desktop PC anymore.

All of us

 

[BumbleBee]

I meant in person. most people I know are content with a notebook.

The rose is clunky and slow and will get you killed a lot. I prefer the "q" spam by far. I hope that still works, but the popup menu is just for none object based commands like "I need backup" or "Need Mortar strike on that target."

(...) Honestly, the commorose is clunky, and people don't even pay attention when you are next to them spamming Q and your guy is yelling "GIVE ME SOME AMMO" right in their face.

They should keep Q as the quick call and use T for the commo rose. Just my opinion

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the radio on the F keys. Just like in BF1942 and in BF:V. Never got used to the whole Q radio menu in BF2. By the time I stopped playing BF1942, I was lightning fast with the radio commands. Besides, with the radio commands on the F keys, and as a combination of F keys, those with programmable keyboards have their lives simplified. Just program a key to do the combo.

HD version of Caspian Border map, with jets,choppers,tanks,apc,jeeps,infantry etc



Ramp it up to 1080p and full-screen it.

I accidentally the whole room.
Brb, pre-ordering.

Any mention of Joystick support for the aircraft controls? I might be using a 360 controller for that if it is the case.

Same here, but with a regular gamepad.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The jets are smooth as butter and have the style of some the best flight simulation games out their.

Such as? HAWX and Ace combat aren't real flight simulators. They're arcadish. I think it looks like those two.

Man the jets move SLOW. But thats ok. WE GOT FAST MOVERS!

I can't tell the speed, but I noticed a lot of level flying.

LOL Speaking of Vietnam.... i smell BF3 Vietnam add on as well

I would rather have a BF:V w/Frostbyte 2 as a stand-alone game, rather then a DLC.

More like BF2143 add-on.

Yeah, I think that is what is going to happen.

Bullshit. BF2 jets moved faster.

They did move fast, no idea if faster.

They did and they were hard as hell to kill if you did not have heat seeking rockets stations.

I managed to kill them fine with the gun... It could take some time, but I usually killed them.

Ok? And? BRING EM BACK!

Agreed.

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Ok after watching the video a second time, things I noticed.

There is a guy with a SCAR-L with a Optical Sight and a front grip. So that is one new piece for it. I also noticed at least 3 different styles of 4x scopes. I am not sure if they are different based on the gun, if we can choice the style of crosshairs, or are there just more than 1 4x scope. On that note I want to see the 4x scope from single player that can be slide to the side so you can use the iron sight.
