So, moving on, I didn't know they were adding a EOD robot. What's the use?I hope it's not like the MW2 RC car.
First off, that vehicle is described as an EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL robot. That means it's there to disable AT Mines, C4, and scout out areas. Outside of that, I don't think it can do much. Probably an engineer item.
Yes, that's what EOD means if you didn't realize. The thing is, this is a video game. No ones gonna use a robot to disable shit like mines or c4. They will just run passed them or go around them. Also the wrench has always been the way to disable mines and I doubt that has changed since it would just cripple and disturb the games pace to have to bring out a robot for mines and C4.
There is definitely an ulterior motive behind that stupid little robot. Maybe you can drive up to tanks and plant c4 on them, rofl.
Edit: Okay, I looked it up and apparently it can also repair vehicles.

I guess you've never even tried to shoot pilots out of helicopters, be it with a rifle or anti-aircraft launcher? There's even a segment in the trailer where the player shoots a guy on top of a small cliff. All you have to be is on the right side and close enough to the cliff to line up with the sun. That's inevitably going to happen in some places on levels of this scale with so many people playing. Even BC2 had plenty of vertical fighting.
I know, the power tool/wrench. (I don't think it's a welding tool.
)Anyways, I just generically meant any engi main tool. I just assumed it would still disable mines, but now that I think about it, I don't know how it worked in badcrapany2(
) and it was extremely stupid how you could damage enemy vehicles with it, please don't have that in BF3.
Well that's not fair. How'd you get in alpha?
Edit: I just looked up a video of the tool, that is pretty hilarious and stupid.

It's actually pretty realistic at least it is here during some times of the year when not wearing sunglasses. Though I'm sure a real modern fighter jet and pilot has glare reducing mechanisms. Though from what I could tell from the trailer you probably won't get that kind of glare unless you're up high.

EA is trying their hardest to destroy this game, aren't they?

EA is tired of people praising them for the good things they did these past few years and want people bad mouthing them again.
I think they figured out that bad publicity is still publicity (Hence why CODMW sells so much trolololol)
If the game boots up quickly (doesn't have to load menus and other frontend stuff) I have no problem with it.

Nothing new. In BC2 you couldn't check the server browser unless you disconnected. The added fun was when the game was having trouble updating your stats as it would just sit there not letting you anything. You couldn't even exit the game until it was done updating your stats
[Edit] After reading the BFBlog, it isn't exit the server, it's exit the facking game. F*ck that sh*t
I'm more interested by one of the related articles: http://www.destructoid.com/portal-2-getting-free-dlc-this-september-209354.phtml

I...just...what? You're giving the PC feature to consoles and giving the console crap to PCs? WTF EA? Look, I already bought your game, and I'm excited about it. It looks great, supports 64 person servers, has tons of excellent features, etc. This is a win. Then you go and pick a fight with Steam, say we can't have mods because we're too dumb to handle your 'splosions and screw us on simple things like browsers?
Honestly, it seems to me that the right hand of EA is doing everything thing they can to make this game attractive to PC gamers and the left hand is doing everything they can to make it unattractive. I would say the right hand is winning, but only barely.
Yay, blind hate before you even know what it's like!
League of Legends does this and it's an extremely popular pc only game people play competitively.
If it works good, I won't mind. I will probably actually like it even more than in game menus.
And since when was this a console feature? That's just a dumb thing to say.

It isn't even console crap, how many console games require you to quit back to the dashboard to find a new server?
Here's another article: http://bf3blog.com/2011/08/battlefield-3-pc-version-wont-have-in-game-server-browser/
The way the Destructoid article is worded it sounded like you'd have to just exit the server, not the entire game
Not much has been released yet, but so far BF3 will require Vista/7 and at least a DX10 card

Thing is League of Legends has much lower system requirements

League of Legends boots up in like 10 seconds. Chances are not just extremely high, but nearly 100% likely, that even on the beefiest computer BF3 will take 90 seconds or more to boot up. And that's not even counting how long it takes to exit the game and the process to shut itself off.
So, I'd say the odds are almost infinite against it "working good".
