Meh. Not worrying me in the slightest. TDM and vehicles don't mix all that well anyway as the vehicles tend to be OP.

Sounds like they're trying to do Battlefield and Modern Warfare in one game. Hopefully they don't end up biting off more than they can chew.

I especially wouldn't want to see them making balance adjustments designed for TDM which spoil the play of the 64 player vehicle modes. (Think world PvP vs Arena?)

Wonder if the TDM maps still feature destruction?

[Bronze_D]

don't see why they'd disable destruction considering squad deathmatch in BC2 didn't either.

incidentally the squad deathmatch in BC2 sometimes still have a vehicle in the map...

that... often didn't turn out very well...

Indifferent. I don't like TDM in BC2. Didn't belong imo.

Not a problem at all. It'll be nice to have smaller, infantry only modes to play. And yeah, in BC2 whoever got the vehicle in squad deathmatch would often dominate, vehicles don't work too well in those kinds of matches.

lol tdm.

fk me every time i head that part of the theme at the end i get goosies....

Atleast tdm wont be a 'who gets the tank first'

[skitzor]

sounds good. not much effort to implement something like this, and could end up attracting more players.

Near the end it shows the pilot looking up and out of the cockpit... wonder if that's a cinematic or indication of TrackIR support.

Im pretty sure it would just be like a "press left alt to free look" type thing, such as in ArmA 2 and BC2.
