Because this is a multi-player video preview...







Okay you don't NEED to buy it, but if you're honest....YOU WANT IT!

Not yet..no.
It's an advert, so it may not be entirely honest.


tbh my first thought was that those jets will probably be lagging all over the map with hit boxes that bear no relation to their position.

No idea why they would lag all over the map and have shit hit boxes you'd need to explain why, they're no more complex than an avatar, I very much doubt they would be any different to any other part of the game.

Given the trouble DICE had on BFBC2 with their hit boxes on slow moving targets (shit, even stationary ones at times  tongue2), my thinking is there's a good chance it'll be worse on fast movers.  confused

Shit the bed, did I just see a dumbfire RPG?!?!

I nearly... pre-ordered after that. I really need to play it though to see if it's actually worth the cash.

That's me out. Looked good, not going to be forced onto a second online games service to play anything.

Only buying if it comes to Steam.

That looks sh1t hot ... but I'm probably never flying one of those babies to avoid omg n00b abuse ...

Tbh, Wooster's remark has some merrit for indeed in BC2 something was wrong with hit detection ... I certainly hope it'll not be the case in BF3 ...

Read a blog where a reviewer was complaining that the question of lag (in any game) is not discussed in any of the major mags or review sites.

Maybe if they bring it up, they don't get any more invites to the party.  confused

I suffered no lag in the closed alpha so I'm pretty well confident.

Admittedly it didn't have air vehicles.
