    Is this whole thing just a test to see how many times they can say Frostbite 2 over a period of hours?

    Wow this has been handled extremely poorly.

    People were fucking hyped for MP footage and they go on to show none of it.

    No wonder they went from 33k watching to 20k in one hour and it just keeps on dropping viewers.

    They showed like 30 second clips of it while trying to interview people playing it...  though footage of the game from a camera over the dudes shoulder kinda blows.

    Summary of MP footage seen so far from that show floor:
    - The game looks nice, imagine a much better looking BC2
    - Console gamers have trouble with mouse and keyboard gaming

                        @Marz: Sounds like the same setup from 2142 were the Soldier was also the Medic.

                       

                   
    Which was my favorite soldier setup, so I'm happy about that.

                       

                   
    Oh yeah I thought that was a pretty good setup as well. I thought the 4 classes in 2142 was a better system than the 7 in BF2.

                       

                   

    Certainly; the medic in BF2 was mostly just a more mobile and survivable soldier with negligibly more limited firepower (even moreso with the introduction of the G36E), and that was increasingly reflected in the game over time as people picked the medic over the soldier more and more.  
     
    But more importantly, I like 2142's 4-class system a fair bit more than BC2's.  BC2's system works, it's just not the perfectly interwoven set of roles, each with a varied and customizable assortment of capabilities via the unlockable equipment, that I felt 2142's system was.

    It looks like Operation Metro is a Rush map. Or I should say they are playing that map in Rush mode.

    So I'm confused, are medic and support separate again? Seems to be what it looks like, unless medic is like...a subclass.

    Done. Lots of talking heads and hot air. Some moments of offscreen streaming gameplay footage. Game looks great.
     
    Would've shown a lot better without the two army presenters and some direct-feed capture. Dang - I expected more from EA's marketing.
     
    The giving was meager thus far.

    Medic is subclass of Assault kit. Either you go grenadier or medic. Either way Assault'll have medpacks. That's how I understand it.

    It looks like class system will be like 2142.
     
    Assault = Assault/Medic
    Engineer = Anti tank/Engineer
    Recon = Sniper/Special Forces
    Support = LMG + ammo crates
     
    Seems like we'll be stuck with the same Bad Company 2 voice chat system where you can only talk to squad mates.
     
    Prone and Rate of Fire mode changes are available.
     
    Wish there was more i could gather from the Stream.... just seems like a souped up version of Bad Company 2 so far.   I need to see the bigger maps before i'm sold on this game being the "NEXT" successor to Battlefield 2.

    Actually no. You'll be able to party up in Battlelog with your friends, so you'll be able to talk to your friends indipendant from squads. More than 4 players can be in the same ingame VoiP:

    Thought battlelog was just a stat tracking webpage with steam group stuff.  I doubt the purpose of it is for voice chat over a webpage without downloading some type of client.    Also that's not gonna fly for the console players, who aren't able to type during the game to bark out orders to other squads.

    Battlelog will obviously be seamlessly integrated into BF3's menus. Battlefield's equivalent to Need for Speed's autolog. Adding XBLA-style partychat to the PC BF3 experience via Battlelog has already been confirmed multiple times - just check the initial stories on the topic.

    Just check the official BF UK forum or search for it on youtube tomorrow. Somebody has certainly captured all the footage and will cut out all the excess fat. There was lots of excess fat.

    ok that sounds cool but that still doesnt' answer the question on how you'll be able to talk to the rest of the team via voice chat.   Nobody wants to add random douchebag( dude not going for objective, etc etc) to his friends list to talk to him on battlelog.

    Obviously you can't. 32 players in one VoiP channel, especially on a PUB server, would be unbearable. I just hope they'll let us talk to vehicle crew regardless of squad or VoiP party. With teamplay features like 3D spotting, VoiP ain't that important anyways.
     
    I only had meaningful VoiP interaction in MMORPGs and there mostly with organized guilds and rarely with random pick-up-groups. Back in the days of 40 player raids, without VoiP-discipline, there was chaos - and that obviously were organized raid groups, not public pick-up groups.
     
    Most won't appreciate strangers telling them how to play. Remember how I had a talkative dude in my squad once on PS3. Defender-side. Was pinned down. One move and I'd die. Crate got armed. Dumb fucker called me a noob for not moving. I don't like randoms talking to me. I certainly don't want to be in a 32 player VoiP channel.

    @Seppli: Still seems a fairly archaic system, at least on PC you have the option to type to the team.   MAG had a pretty good solution where they let squad leaders talk to other squad leaders in the same platoon.  The platoon leader could talk to the other platoon leader to coordinate a large scale attack and etc.   It'd be cool if they actually had that 2142 waypoint system where the commander would tell the squad leaders where they should focus attacks, then squad leaders would relay that information to the squad mates, it was sorta there in bad company games.. but it was only squad focused, not team oriented..  Yah i know the last one isnt' about voice chat, but there were decent ways to communicate to the whole team before the bad company series kinda stripped all this functionality out and it's not coming back for Battlefield 3.

    There are squad leaders and we don't know what they're about yet. Might well be some VoiP chain of command.
