I just don't understand what he is saying about the 3 fire modes - I thought semi auto and single shot were the same thing!

I think single shot is one trigger pull one reload required and semi auto is pull the trigger each time you fire but reload depending on the mag capacity e.g. 8 pulls of the trigger then reload.
.

Or could mean this

Automatic, hold trigger magazine empties
Burst mode - pull trigger three round burst
Single shot - pull trigger, fires once.

On weapons with mode lever, this is usually the most offered (excluding specialist sniper rifles). To disable auto reload usually requires disabling the gas/reload mechanism - which can improve accuracy round velocity.

If you try to jump over something you don't just simply jump, you see an animation of your solider leaping over.

What do they mean by this? Not likely I suppose, but I really hope it doesn't mean switching to third-person. I'm paranoid when it comes to these sorts of things.

Watch video - basically normal view point, but when jumping you see legs swing into view slightly, looks natural enough, rather than jumping to third person

Ah, thanks. I'm being slow today. Missed the latest single player trailer, but I've probably seen examples of it in previous trailers. I guess I'm half expecting them to screw something up, as it looks so good.

I did think that it maybe meant burst fire, but I am not sure how many rifles in reality have such a function?

Your reply on the different types of single fire (I usually see them distinguished as semi auto and bolt action) is much more technical than I could have provided - but I did think that weapons could be either/or.

This video is worth watching. It discusses the classes.

Recon and engi stay roughly as they are in BC2. The Medics and Assault swap guns - back to the BF2 way of things - so Medics have assault rifles and Assault goes back to being called Support and is equipped with LMGs and the ammo boxes. Which makes me more excited - I love being medic but cannot face it on BC2 due to me much preferring assault rifles to LMGs

Enjoyed that video , it was a nice round up and confirm of what we know and for me , the classes was a new learn .

very nice find

Its only short guys but i can not stop dribbling with anticipation of this game

MULTIPLAYER

Makes me think about going out and spending a fortune on a PC and getting back into PC gaming when i watch this.

I have seen some footage of the Playstation 3 version and it looks mighty special anyway so i might save myself a few thousand.

You're right, that is very brief. The trailers are working for me though. Really want to play it now. x)

A few thousand is overstating it somewhat. £1.5k maybe, for something really good, including a monster monitor or two. Under a grand for something still pretty nice.
