Thursday Night Throwdown: 01/05/12

Patrick's face in the promo is awesome.

I missed it. I blame everyone. Especially you.

That was up fast. Insane turnaround, gentlemen.

I didn't even know they were doing one today. I am pleasantly surprised.

this game really is so much fun! if i wasn't on a mac i be playing it right now!!!!

Haha, I think that is my jet in the video image.

only just got into bf3 myself but ya, the mutliplayer is great

I only came here to say this. Saw it live and enjoyed it, if not quite as much as the last BF3 TNT.

Fuck, I'll cave in. I want to watch yesterday's TNT but I have to study Late Middle English. I'll do both at the same time.

Wish me luck, duders.

5 minutes in

3 enemies seen

1 kill

1 assist

5 deaths out of nowhere

ugh c'mon Dice

BAD COMPANY 2 HAS CONQUEST!! Oh my god why does GB keep acting like it does not?! Talking about BC2 having Rush, but BF3 having both when BC2 also had both. You can choose to only play Conquest if that's your thing. You can play BC2 and not even touch the Rush mode.

They said the same thing during the last BF3 video they had...

Organizing this shindig and playing (I WAS ON TV WOOOO) was fucking awesome. 
Here's to more TNTs on our server!

Hopefully this will spark the interest once again for our GB servers, you guys should really play on them more often. We had freaking 64 players and 67 in queue last night, but on the bombing runs we can't even fill the servers, come on people.

Edit: Whoever was my gunner in the chopper at 1:02:38 - That was some awesome airsupport provided by us!

@Swoxx: I hope so too, it is always more exciting to play with people you know and damn it is fun!

I killed norm a few times, I feel good.

@AhmadMetallic Not only that, if I remember correctly, DICE heavily promoted RUSH in all the promotion for the game, including the demos, and Conquest mode was added after the game launched, I'm pretty sure.

Two Norm kills, a laugh out of Brad and "I like this guy" from Patrick. Best TNT ever!

I know they were talking smack about the "other" versions of BF3, with the PC one being the one to play, but I have options and still chose to play on PS3. At least on consoles everyone has the same control handicap, so I'm doing well and enjoying the craziness at the same time. On PC with hardcore mouse/keyboard gamers I'd get crushed day-in-and-day-out, which is essentially the opposite of fun.

This is great stuff! Could we get a behind the scenes look of how a quick look is made, or a behind the scenes look of a TNT?

Very fast upload! BF3 was a blast, watching it life. Norm as a player of the Karkand maps was also a very good choice.

Can someone tell me when Norm shoots down the jet as I don't really want to watch the whole thing?

I was up at the top of the leaderboard in the pre-event games, immediately did terrible when 3000 people were watching :l

This game is just beautiful to watch people play, great choice for TNT.

Had a blast playing :D Thanks everyone

Thanks for the heads up on this!

It was great to see the GB/Tested server full for once! I had a great time playing, Hope the stuff comes on more often!

(Norm killed me :P)

Thanks for this, had a great time actually participating in TNT!

Proof: vonFlampanker killcam at 1:17:42 or so.

Watching this made me realise how bad my ping was. Over 400 most of the time. Despite being in the UK that still seems pretty high.

I love in Battlefield when you're the MG guy in a tank or otherwise along for the ride, it can become the worst or best on-rails shooter suddenly =D

He doesn't shoot it down by the way.

Just had to pause the video tot ell you this Ryan: you are looking damn good in 2012! What a snazzy mustache!

Really enjoyed this weeks TNT. Hope to see the GB servers less empty from now on.

Whats the Giantbomb server called. Did a search for Giantbomb but it found nothing?

wonder how scalable this game is.

First thing I thought of when seeing Ryans hairdo

I am theJOURN3Y! Hear me ROAR (and revive Norm)

Probably said already, but the Battlefield 1942 Wake Island Demo is still alive and being played by someone.

Woah, turns out I totally played Codename Eagle. Man, that game felt groundbreaking in a world where we didn't yet have Battlefield. I remember giant fights in the cargobay and cockpit of a player controlled blimp. Dudes trying to run away with said blimp, and other dudes filling it up with mustard gas. Also: crazy airplane crash landings.

BF3 looks so good on PC. Damn, if only I had a proper PC to run it on :(

Loved that it was Norm playing this time. Got to see some more serious take on BF multiplayer.

I forgot that this was a thing! Gonna check it out now.

Why does Ryan hate Android? Has he tried the Galaxy Nexus? Has he tried ICS? It's awesome.

(On the hobbyist development front I'm a fan of not having to pay a fee to test my software on a device, which last time I checked you have to do on iPhone)

God 1942...Played so much of it. I'm still hoping for some naval combat in battlefield's future.

Loved 2142 for the record...

Wooo! Took first on my team for the match I played in, AND I got to shoot the distinguished Norman Chan a few times!
