Weer 'nieuwe' info:
S(tatement): How much detail are we putting into BF3? The color of the ejected shell casings is different for US and RU weapons, just like real life.
Q: so...uh, what color ARE they haha, had no clue they were different
A: Western casings tend to be brass, RU casings are stamped from steel and then finished.
(volgend op dropshot fix vraag eerder)
Q: can you still fire while going into crouch?
A: Yes crouch is unrestricted.
Q: Why not opt in/out of revive PRIOR to getting zapped? Revive symbols can then let meds know who actually wants to live.
A: Because everyone ops out every time and destroys team play.
Q: Do medkits heal while being held by a medic?
A: No
Q: After the loading screen do we have a wait time so we can spawn like BF2?
A: Yes there is a fully functional Preround.
Q: Is the 'hold breath' function removed now that sway is caused by suppressing fire?
A: Nope. You still need to hold breath if not using a bipod.
Q: if the m-com goes pow in bf3 will surrounding defenders be killed? if so: will the armer get points for the kills?
A: Crates don't do splash damage. It felt cheap when we tried it in BC1.
Q: Is true that bullets will bounce? How will this work? What if people shoot a shotgun to metal? Where can bullets bounce?
A: No bouncing bullets. Just grenades.
Q: I was wondering, when the beta ends, does everyone keep their stats and unlocks, or does it get wiped?
A: We will reset and use the beta numbers to calibrate the final game.
Q: if you found a sniper spot with shade will your scope still glare in #bf3?
A: Yes.
Q: Isn't anything more than 1 story in historical BF games enough to seriously wound you?
A: new engine means new fall damage system. You can fall that 3 or 4 meters without damage. 12 will kill you
Q: Will all the AT launchers use soft-launch like they did in the Alpha? I don't think the RPG-7 or the SMAW uses soft-launch
A: The RPG7 launches and ignites at 10m. Neither is technically soft launch, which is to say safe to fire indoors
Q: in the bf3 mp video, when you get a kill, a bar increase in the bottom right side, are those killstreaks, or unlock progression?
A: Unlock progress for the current weapon.
Q: Will people be able to shoot the AT mine with a single bullet and make it a kind of booby trap? (Like in BC2) Was that a glitch?
A: No that was on purpose. C4 can no longer be detonated by bullets though.
S: Bug of the day: Weapon Mash is missing. IDK what a weapon mash is, but it sounds delicious.
Q: dont know did someone mention before, in BF3A my heath went to 0 but i still alive and can re-gen heath as normal.happen often.
A: UI rounds off less than 0.5% hp to 0. We don't kill you until you hit 0, not when you hit <1%
Q: sometimes in the alpha it after I got in a 1v1 firefight with someone the info screen said he had like -21% health. Bug?
A: Yeah, we predicted on the client you hit him, but on the server your bullet was thrown out since it was fired after you had died.
Q: I noticed in alpha once i threw a grenade and was immediately killed after, the grenade didnt exploded. In BC2 it did. Bug or?
A: It does explode, and if you die with the grenade equipped it falls to your feet.
Q: People commenting on jets moving so slowly. what about it?
A: Dogfighting means slowing down to make turns, then speeding up again to make rushes.
Q: Would you say the Jets are faster or slower than in BF2?
A: Slightly faster.
Q: please tell me snipers can get up that tower. PLEASE.
A: Indeed they can.
Q: I thought BF3 was going to show maps the size of El Alamein in 1942, is that not the case?
A: That's how big Caspian Border is... It's 1436m from one end of the playable ground area to the other.
Q: small arms damage heli's in bf3 or not?
A: No, they don't.
Q: Why no in-game servr brwsr on PC,alt tab every time I want to change servers?Ingame name=originID?
A: Don't alt tab, just shut it down. It starts up REAL fast.
Q: Will players be able to place C4 on EOD Bots??
A: In the Beta, yes. We will monitor and see if it is a problem. That's what Betas are for.
