Battlefield 3 Teaser Demonstrates Proper Anti-Sniper Demolition

Impressive set pieces, acting and explosions. But why is everything grey? Does this game take place in Glasgow or something?
That is one thing I don't get about apocalyptic settings. They always feature barren, brown/grey terrain whereas in reality, cities would become overgrown by weeds, shrubs etc. There should actually be more colour. That is one of the things I liked about Bioshock 2: the already impressive rusted art deco setting gets even more character because of the luminous coral and decay.

Well... if the game is going for realism it sure has some untrained opponents. As it has been mentioned, the sniper missed all his shots, but additionally: (a) he shouldn't even try from such a sketchy position without a clear shot and (b) switch position after a couple of shots.
Also, the squad shouldn't really bunch up like that. Seemed like they had much better position options. And I guess that rpg wasn't for anti-tank purposes with that kind of explosion...
But hey, it's just a game, and a good looking one. Realism pfft!

Lol, it's just Battlefield, don't go out on any limbs to defend it.Frank_Sinatra_ said:
When you're a sniper all on your own, suppression and suicide are synonymous. Snipers only fire one bullet, hit or miss. That guy really did suck, as .50 rounds would have gone straight through that little parapet and sprayed the whole squad with splinters on the way out.
Interesting how they said "Clear your backblast." I highly doubt that the game features backblast, although this realistic aspect would actually force players armed with RPGs to stand in the open and prevent them from camping in buildings. They would also be unable to shoot down aircraft if they were close underneath them. Would solve a lot of bitching about nube tubes,
OK, that whole 'bullets make you flinch when you're shot at' thing - is that new, or has that been in battlefield games before? Because it looks awesome, and means that an LMG could finally do its job properly!
Hard to say that explosion wasn't really scripted when i imagine its a focus point of the campaign at some stage, also odd that they would waste a disposable 1 shot rocket launcher on just a sniper.
otherwise looks great, but don't encourage the noobs to use rocket launchers to dispose of snipers.

Man, I wish you had said the video was sexy, so I could say 'Indeed, it took four minutes to deliver two seconds of payoff.'GamesB2 said:
It does look good. If I can see buildings actually collapsing it's going to be awesome.
actually, he does have rear sights (you can see at 1:08), the pork chop is out of place though, but, then again, it is in the future, could be the 240L, and for future reference, small recon platoons usually pack the 240 for the firepower, it's a nice weapon to reach out and touch somebody with. 5.56 just can't do what a 7.62 can do.Tiewing said:
Never fully got this sniper hate. Sure it's anoying to be snipped, hence why you have to learn to keep your heads down, move fast between cover etc. 'We want realistic battlefied games, but waaa we don't like snipers', please...
Also I am not quite seeing where this amazing beauty is that everyone is harping on about. The graphics look great, but no more than other recent PC games. I suppose for console owners it seems like a big improvement. But remember DICE has said this a PC aimed game, so not all the eye candy may make it to the console ports. These trailers are for the PC version.....
But anyway looking forwards to this and get my next battlefild fix.
