Sorry to put out another BF3 thread, but I wanted to make sure people saw this new footage. Holy Crap... that base jump!!!! Got two choppers leading the way followed by a bunch of base jumping bad a$$es!!! THIS is why I won't have time for COD this year!!!

PS: Anybody notice how all the footage shows regular mode, not hardcore!!!

Damn, that is a pretty intense way to start a MP match!

Also, I am really interested in seeing more of the water/battleship match. That looks pretty sweet.

Yeah, that battleship level looks like you start with a boat assault to get to the carrier and then proceed from there.

Based on what I've heard and seen over the last few days it looks like the Beta was a completely gimped piece of software and it was nothing more than a server stress test... BF3 looks to be the real deal!

No doubt in my mind about getting this game. The only thing that will slightly disappoint me is if you can't completely blow down a building like you could in Bad Company 2. Other than that this looks awesome

So like the huge nerd that I am, I've watched the video like 5 times and thought I'd point out some awesomeness:

:30 - Base jumping is indeed kick a$$

:37 - Guy kills chopper pilot firing through front canopy glass... nice kill!

:41 - Looks like a long access tunnel and possible choke point on the map... yeah, there's some dude flying a chopper inside!!!

:57 - 1:05 - Destruction = awesome!

1:10 - Full Building Destruction!!!

1:28 - A street is shown... the same street is then shown completely blown to crap.

Wow, this game looks incredible.

I consider myself a COD guy, but the graphics alone on BF3 are pulling me toward it

See my timeline above. In one part you see big chunks of building coming down. Just like in BC2 there are some buildings for gameplay reasons that cannot be fully knocked down. But if you see that last time stamp you see an entire building coming down after a tank blast. My jock is ready to rock!

First thing I noticed as well. You cant do this in BC2, right?

Any hits to the canopy go to the chopper damage model.

Also , sound is very very good too.

Listen to @ :54 where the tank shell hits right next to the guy. Kind of mutes the sound for a bit.

If I buy the game at Walmart or some other store, will I still get the Karkland expansion?

I believe it just has to be pre-ordered from anywhere and the "limited edition". I'm not sure if you can just stroll into a store on release day and get it?

Just go to your local GameStop and put down $5 for the limited edition preorder

One concern - in the latest media blitz from DICE (I can't find a link), one of the devs said that back to karkland is a full expansion pack, similar to Battlefield Vietnam.

Mp1st.com suggested that this means it would be on a seperate menu than the rest of the BF3 game. as in, not integrated with the existing maps. you would choose back to karkland or BF3. Anyway, I really hope this isn't the case and that they just add the weapons and maps to the existing playlists.

back to Karkand.. nice!

^^^ Interesting. Yeah, they do call it an "expansion pack" at the end of that video in the 1st post... they would call it "map pack" otherwise.

The 1 downside to map packs is that it separates the community (those with the new maps and those w/out). At least this way there is no issue when playing the "main" MP maps with everybody. In this case I probably prefer it to be a map pack since I'm pretty sure all the Texags guys I'm playing with will be pre-ordering.

Are there some single player or co-op things being added with Karkland as well? If so then that's a pretty cool map pack addition for simply pre-ordering.

Everything here makes it sound like pre-order only.

If you don't have a gamestop nearby I would at least do Amazon or something. The expansion pack will definitely be worth it!!!

Went ahead and pre-ordered through Amazon. Used our prime account to get free release day shipping and the expansion pack that comes with the pre-order.
