Amen to that brother. The sound is something else too...hat tip to TS above, been following this blog for vids and general info.

Christ alive, imagine playing B3 with 256 players!

“Technically, we can go to 256, we’ve tried it. We play tested with 128. You’ve got to make a game that’s fun to play. And, arguably, we think that the most fun you can have is when it’s between 32 and 40 players. And we’ve done substantial research into this and tested 128 and that it’s not fun.”

You could have four entire thirty two man squads devoted to air support, infantry, armour and support battles. *drool*

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Oh man...

I give it five years before it happens. It's the way forward!

The way I see it, it would be a server on a 24 hour "war". So no tickets just a time limit. The maps would have to be huge though and interesting enough so as not to be boring. Maybe have an invasion stage/setting up bases stage/defending said bases stage. People could come in and out without losing stats etc. Obviously it should be a type of game mode like rush or conquest so you could just play games with a map rotation if you wanted to.

That way you could have an aircraft carrier like in BF2 but with more than two planes. And the AC-130 gunship like in Desert Combat that could only take off when it was fully crewed. Oh and amphibious landing craft. And other cool shit

So 6 years for what apppears to be a graphical update of BF2.........

Or hows about a whole new game engine built from scratch? From what I have seen it will be immense!

There is an IGN study of that video, where they discuss all the small details, which is what makes this game engine impressive.

[Kid_Eternity]

It has an earthquake in it! How anyone can watch those videos and think this is merely a graphical update is beyond me...

 

[TitanSound]

After the flurry of updates it seems to have slowed down. So, have some HD Screenshots.

Next video released tomorrow, even though we have seen it the quality will be better

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Heh how in the world are they gonna keep this up for 6 months?? Interest in this is sky high!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

'New' video!

 

[TitanSound]

Yummy!!!!!!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

New video!!

 

[TitanSound]

Fucking A! I searched for it about half an hour ago so it must have just been released!

Man, it really does look great. Also, the sounds are spot on as always. And the sound and graphics of the Littlebird strafing runs....*sex wee*

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Fucking great vid aint it?! April 17th is the date to watch for, the full 12 minute reveal trailer is out them. These guys are masters at dripfeed marketing.

 

[TitanSound]

Try this. It's mega

-Open up the Fault Line part III trailer and pause at exactly 10 seconds in
-Open up the song "Mind Heist" by Zack Hemsey in another tab on youtube
-Once that video begins, immediately click play on the previously paused trailer

 

[Kid_Eternity]

That's FUCKING MENTAL!!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Seriously WTF! Who the hell worked this out??

 

[TitanSound]

No idea but it kinda has to be in the game for me now

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Heh totally.

 

[fen_boy]

That can't be a coincidence.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

That can't be a coincidence.

You think they're on to us?

 

[TitanSound]

Likely, but unconfirmed release date
