    People use to make specific servers for farming stats such as "knives only" "pistols only" etc... It was pretty lame. I expect the same from BF3 based on DICE comments.

    This game will need to incorporate a system of penalties for players doing excessive vandalism. Otherwise I'm sure there will be trolls who will join games purely for demolitions.

    A system of penalties? I'm fairly sure that wouldn't fly.

    It's not a problem in BC2 so why would it be for BF3?

    It's a fairly good strategy on some of the bigger maps in BC2 to sit back in a tank and bomb the enemy position into oblivion. I can't fathom why you'd want players to be punished for that.

    Yup, in multiplayer theres no need for penalties unless there's ability play longer campaings.

    For singleplayer though, penalties for destruction of important structures would be very interesting.
    IE, you would destroy bridge to take out some tanks and couple of missions further you do not get backup because of that etc. :)

    What makes you assume a troll would target enemy positions?

    Obviously they should ban trolls.

    Here's a preview of what's to come tomorrow at Gamescom in Germany:

    (PC) 64 player conquest (confirmed) on a large map full of vehicles including jets
    (PC) Team deathmatch 4v4 on a forest map
    Co-op on Playstation 3 via Playstation Network

    Jets you say?!

    I just hope they give foot soldiers some reasonable capability to shoot them down, so you don't have to rely on having a jet jockey on your team to take them out. Fuck I hate jets.

    I just saw the first footage via the live stream.

    Jets. Holy. Fuck.

    I don't know how much longer it'll be hosted, but official trailers will be up soon.

    Wow, that multiplayer video just blew me away. I liked the single player of Modern Warfare 2 alot, the multiplayer not so much. But I can't imagine Modern Warfare 3 to come close to this game in both single player and multiplayer.

    MP footage looks a notch below SP right? Or is it just my impression (the color contrast in the MP alpha and all the MP footage we have seen so far is totally off IMO)

    I hate repi. I absolutely hate him. I hate him for making me want to spend money I don't have on a stupid PC. Stupid, repi, I hate you.

    Commo rose confirmed.

    It's about time. I'm looking forward to thanking people. Again.

    In addition, I'm hoping they add the option to call out "hey, you stupid fucking medic. Stop staring at me and drop a health pack" command.

    Not getting my hopes up for that one, though.
