New Battlefield 3 Screens Fly a Plane Like a Boss

The more I see of this game, the more impressed I become with it. It looks absolutely gorgeous.

I'm real glad jets will be included in the console versions. My assumption is that they will probably behave much like they did in the arcade battlefield 1943. Which means i will not be flying them, but will love seeing them get blown up in the distance or suddenly come crashing down right in front of me. And that is why i love the Battlefield series.

Haha, and that is why I hope there is an adequate single player or co-op level where you can get all your flight handling down. I'm sure a good portion of the team will be camping out at the jet spawn till everyone get's their flying fix.

Anybody who's played BF2 on the PC has had that happen. Worse, was loading a squad into a transport chopper and finding out six seconds into the flight the guy who's been camping the chopper spawn had jumped behind the wheel without the slightest clue how helicopters work. BOOM! Respawn. C4 the guy before the chopper respawns.

ok this might sound like a massively stupid question but...i aint played any battlefield since i played 1942 online yonks agobut flying will be available online on consoles right? you guys have hyped the game up so much that i want to play it nowbut on my ps3. it seems like it will be but some o the above comments are confusing my brain-thing.
i'm a CoD dude (i dont know why i feel so reluctant to admit that....) and mw3 will be the first thing i buy, but like i said i'm goin for bf3 as well.

I'm getting it for PS3 too but the PC gets 64 players with more vehicles accordingly, rather than consoles 24. The maps are smaller for consoles, but I read that aircraft can travel the full map. I'm kind of jealous I don't have a PC that could run it, but it sounds like good balancing for the console hardware.

That's it, I'm dusting off my trusty joystick. Can't wait to get into any jet fighter antics in BF3.
