Some random chatter from Twitter:


  •  
  • No, a person killed immediately after a revive cannot be revived again.
  • Possible pistol customization in the future.
  • You need to fall a min dist before you get to open a chute. About 3 or 4 stories. And it has to open fully to slow you.
  • Controllers are supported. Aim assist is not available on PCs.

 

Hmm PC version has no server browser wtf?? but console version does??? if you want to join another server you will have to restart the game??

I would wait for more details, it seems he was answering the question from a Battlelog stand point (Alpha build). But I wouldn't be surprised if they made Battlelog mandatory.

  •  
  • And yes, we are working on team play communication features for ALL platforms. Not going into specifics right now.
  • Players and vehicles in smoke when it detonates are spot immune for a few sec.
  • Yes, there's plenty of ways to reduce your muzzle signature, it's a gameplay feature.
  • People that hate on the Battlelog menu should've tried the Alpha. Really sleek.

Dun...Dun....Dun..................

 

 

Even with this restriction, this game will still be a beast. I wonder why don't they just integrate Battlelog into the game menu and still have the same interactions of Battlelog from a web browser outside of the game.

 

In their defense using Battlelog to find and join servers is pretty fast. Even if you had to exit the game to find a new server. I do hope they give us an option to edit "Options" outside of the game. Stuff like keybinds, video, audio, and etc.

HUD: In tanks, there is a range to target indicator below the crosshair.

HUD: tanks have a (big) crosshair in the 3rd person view (driver)

HUD: thermal image for the helicopter gunner (right click).

Minimap: Three zoom levels, so far no complete overview, only a larger minimap.

Suicide: when using the function we could see a "Thumbs Up" version of the player model.

Growler ITV: when driving off-road the front pane goes up and down.

Jets sometimes seem to be a bit dull. We shot down two enemy jets with the Super Cobra (1x pilot gunner, 1x).

Impression: kill-assist points = percentage of damage dealt. Fact: kill-assist points vary.

I got the 25% off coupon for joining the EA Gun Club. From what I have read though, if you just create a bogus EA account with your birthday a few days away, you will get a coupon for 25% off

Random Twitter Stuff:

 

Q: Will there be multiple TDM map layouts for some maps?

A: Not at launch. We are focused on making all modes on all maps.

 

Q: Which weapons will be "All Kits" weapons?

A: Shotguns and PDWs (pistols/smgs)

 

Q: Bullet drop for all weapons or only sniper rifle? All platforms?

A: For all weapons and all platforms.

 

Q: If camping snipers have glint on their high zoom scopes, what about other classes camping?

A: Glint is based on the scopes. So an AR with the high zoom scope will have a glint too. (not sure which scope they are referring to, pass 4x or minimum 4x?)

 

Q: Can you confirm the scope glint only shows to the player actually being aimed at? If not, is this being considered?

A: Yes it's directional.

 

Q: Are knifes still going to be 2 hit kills to the front like they were in the Alpha?

A: Yes

 

Q: Will prone and crouch prevent claymores from exploding?

A: Yes, both

 

Q: Will all weapons be possible to use silencers on?

A: Not shotguns, pretty much everything else. Some are more effective than others.

 

Q: Hi, will BF3 ship with a benchmark to test your PC for performance to compare the results with other systems, cheers.

A: no benchmark mode

 

Q: Are there faction-specific weapons?

A: Yes, you unlock the other factions weapons when you complete a kit.

 

Q: is there gonna be an extra high graphic option in pc version pushing evertyhing to limit ?

A: It's called Ultra settings. Max it out!
