Re: Check out the new Aftermath weapon :)
I don't like the idea of a crossbow... but whatever. I am excited to see how GC battles will be in Aftermath urban environments. Suppressive/Assault squads spreading out, sneaking between flags. Recon/Suppressive squads defending flags from across the streets, hidden in windows, etc.
Re: Check out the new Aftermath weapon :)
I hope that this is a piss take.
It just seems a bit... childish.

... This had better be some sort of bad joke.
I look forward to shooting people out of helicopters with crossbows. Also, it had better have a ridiculous reload time.

Re: Check out the new Aftermath weapon :)
It's too early to tell, honestly. At first glance it seems childish and too much like COD, but I still have a few fragments of hope in DICE left to cling to...

"Childish"? "Bad joke"?! So YOU PEOPLE are the ones stopping DICE from moving forward with the BF Dinosaur initiative!
Maybe your right that these can't be propperly balanced. Maybe they don't fit in alongside modern high power rifles. Perhaps they'll just be a novelty item used once and forgotten by the majority of players. But maybe, just maybe, they'll be a new game mechanic offering new and interesting options to the players that were previously unavailable.
Also, it's not as if we've never seen cross bows in BF. Zip lines people, zip lines! If that isn't made an alternate use for the weapons, I'll be sorely disappointed.

Yeah..I noticed people mention this on facebook..Although I never played BF2 this would pretty neat indeed.zorplex wrote:"Childish"? "Bad joke"?! So YOU PEOPLE are the ones stopping DICE from moving forward with the BF Dinosaur initiative!

Also, we've already seen crossbows in BF2, though not as weapons. Zip lines people, zip lines! If that isn't made an alternate use for the weapons, I'll be sorely disappointed.
But notice how they said "WEAPON"

Re: Check out the new Aftermath weapon :)
DICE PR people are saying it's real. This is what the soldiers resort too when they're in an earthquake devastated urban territory and cannot resort to conventional weapons. Apparently we have more to come in the vehicles they're gonna add.

Re: Check out the new Aftermath weapon :)
Looks like DICE is trying to compete with some of the latest medieval combat games such as War of the Roses and Chivalry.
Edit: (That was a joke, by the way. I think it looks awesome - crossbows are always cool in my book!)

but in an urban environment, using that on the streets is just asking for a sniper to shoot you, and you can't get revived in a vehicle.Fields wrote: Images come to mind...
Re: Check out the new Aftermath weapon :)
We already have jeeps with no protection besides a roll cage and 4 wheel off-road bikes that leave you entirely open to getting snipped. What's new about potentially getting shot in a vehicle?Róka wrote: but in an urban environment, using that on the streets is just asking for a sniper to shoot you, and you can't get revived in a vehicle.
Re: Check out the new Aftermath weapon :)
My point is we'll be playing in an urban environment meaning there can be a sniper hidden anywhere and parking a car right between two buildings will leave a person much more vulnerable than driving a high-speed quad bike across a desert.Fields wrote:We already have jeeps with no protection besides a roll cage and 4 wheel off-road bikes that leave you entirely open to getting snipped.

Re: Check out the new Aftermath weapon :)
I don't think that's a crossbow, isn't it the zipline from BF2: Special Forces? I would love to see that back in the GC mix.
