    Thought we were about to see some in-game jet fighter footage.

    Staring at the wall would have been more interesting than that.

  • BadBoyBonner #2 10 months ago

    WTF?

  • Graveland #3 10 months ago

    A pathetic way for the website to receive hits.

  • MavSkipper #4 10 months ago

    Any way to neg the content a hundred times?
    Give me my 40 sec. worth of life back. The video wasn't even in English.

  • BillMurray #5 10 months ago

    I thought we'd at least see a real life Mig in the air or something.

    @Geeza - "Cant watch vids at work, but im intrigued as to what could be so goddamn awful...."

    00:04 - A Mig-21 is on the back of a lorry driving past (commentary starts in what sounds like German).
    00:11 - The lorry has stopped.
    00:14 - People are stood around waiting.
    00:16 - Lorry backs Mig-21 up besides a huge BF3 board (that looks like the box cover art)
    00:20 - A close up of the Mig-21 landing gear
    00:23 - Mig-21 being lowered off lorry by fork-lift truck
    00:29 - You can see a dummy in the cockpit
    00:33 - People helping the fork-lift lower the Mig
    end

    Edit: Negged for explaining it to someone who can't see it? Damn, you guys would probably push a BoyScout in front of a bus for helping an old lady across a road!

    Why isn't every single article and video on this tailored to suit exactly my interests and what I want to see/read? Shame on you, Eurogamer, for forcing me at gunpoint to waste 10 seconds on watching a video.

  • deadmonkeyuk #14 10 months ago

    Was this in game footage?

  • Nephirion #15 10 months ago

    Does that come with the " Superhardcore Edition " ?

  • username84 #16 10 months ago

    Wow that was interesting. Moving a plane around in front of a poster.
    Cheers Eurogamer, I liked the way it was all in German so I couldn't even tell what was being said.
    More like this please.

  • VibratingDonkey #17 10 months ago

    At least change the headline so it doesn't make people think it's the first proper jet gameplay, rather than a German news report about people moving an old jet around.

  • mukki #18 10 months ago

    quite pointless...

  • tulx #19 10 months ago

    Not bad at all. ;-)

  • wanted_0012 #20 10 months ago

    Normally I find people on here over-react, but fair play, that was shit.

  • tulx #21 10 months ago

    PS - what are you all raging about?
    That BF3 advertises with a real plane? (I think it's new and cool)
    That you don't understand German? (German is the biggest native language in Europe, and this is EUROgamer)
    That Eurogamer is showing something about BF3?

    I really don't get it...

    PPS - the narrator says that the plane is being shiped from Berlin to Cologne as a decoration for the BF3 booth. EA had stated it borrowed the plae for a low 5-digit sum. The plane will be viewable during the whole conference. That's about it. I'm sure you could immagine the most by yourself.

    Since I will be attending Gamescom I found this video to be rather interesting. It made me decide to stand in line for Battlefield 3 only so I can start a conversation with the person in line next to me saying "Hey, did you know I actually saw them riding that Mig in? On video? On Eurogamer? Oh yeah, I did. And the video was in HD too. Did you know they brought it here on a truck? Oh yes, they did. 'Cause it couldn't land here. That would've been cool though. It landing here, wouldn't you agree? It would go something like this." And then I would extend my arms, turn a couple of times while making whooshing sounds.

    I'm sure to leave Gamescom with some new friends thanks to this. So, thanks Eurogamer!
