I signed up for gun club on an alt email with a birth date 3 days ahead and got a 25% email from EA/origin and just pre-ordered for $45 on my main ea/origin account.

My bday is on the 18th and I still haven't gotten anything. I just signed up an alt acct w/ the 18th too just in case I fudged the date on my real acct. How long did it take you to get the code?

It says there is "A dedicated 64-person multiplayer area with the most authentic modern shooter experience of the year." Rush mode is limited to 32 players...

This is actually good. Now when I join 64man conquest servers they won't change to rush on me!
 
Wow, that is one big multiplayer map. I like the jets and the little bomb defusing robot. I wish I was picked to go to gamescom.

Just an addition, EA will be posting the recorded live stream soon at the following link:
"Andy Katkin: For those who coudn't watch the live stream, the entire broadcast will be posted to our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/EA) as soon as we're able to get it live. Fingers crossed, in the next 2 hours..."

Also there is planned a BF3 live broadcast this Thursday at Thursday, June 18th at 2:30am PT / 5:30 am ET / 11:30am CET.

Could anyone tell if the jets were herped by burst fire? It LOOKED like they, and the helicopters,were not, but I thought the same of APCs when they were first shown in videos, and it turned out that they indeed were.
 
THe timing did not work out for me today. I was watching the livestream for ME3 and SSX, but now I'm away from my PC for a few hours.


You're on your own for updates...

alpha: I dont think it was bursted, seemed like I saw a few bursts that last a few seconds, and saw no reload indicator like on the APC's

Hard to tell, but I don't think so it looked more to me like they just paused in firing to aim better.
 
How are they handling knife kills with the lengthy animations? Do you have the option of a quick knife kill? I ask because on a few instances in BC2, I was able to sneak up behind a few guys and knifed several consecutively before getting noticed and shot down. I feel like the lengthy knife kill animations is not going to allow for such epic opportunities anymore.

The knife will have two different mode types. If you just tap the knife key, there will be a long animation like you see in a lot of videos. You can also have the knife out and ready if you hold down the key or use the weapon select. That will have a faster knife animation with quick slashes.

they said the autoknife is a blockable animation, while equiping the knife is not blockable, no idea on times

Sounds like an awesome system. That'll address the issue I had with BC2 where I'd lose to a guy who brought a knife to a gunfight when I have my M416 aimed at him but he still kills me anyways.
