Battlefield 3 - weirdness in Thunder Run and Comrades
6I've continued playing this rushed corridor shooter a little bit more, as requested by Chimpaneez, who is also working on this game at the moment. This game doesn't have much in the way of real sequence breaks, so I guess I'll keep trying to dig something up...
On this video however the findings belong more in the category of "useless but weird".
Thunder Run:
0:00 - in Thunder Run you're driving in tanks. After fighting your first enemy tanks, you get a short cutscene after which camera switches over to satellite imagery. During this cutscene I noticed a strange prompt almost outside camera, so I pressed it...
As a result the game jumped ahead in time and played the post-satellite section cutscene, albeit without actors. It's especially strange because this is a cutscene which should start automatically later on, without any player input. So why is there a prompt there? None can say. After the glitchy cutscene the satellite imagery cutscene starts as usual.
0:30 - after the satellite section, the post-satellite cutscene is skipped because you already watched it. Too bad that this cutscene was critical in transitioning back to normal gameplay, and without it you just become softlocked. Can't move the tank ever again, have to restart entire level.
Comrades:
1:07 - while messing around with vault spots at the start of Comrades on my first playthrough, the level's lighting became messed up somehow. Anything past a certain distance became unnaturally white, and the effect was stronger depending on how dark your current location was.
01:34 - I accidentally did the wire cutting skip (already known) and continued playing deeper into the parking hall with the weird lighting effect.
2:01 - honestly, finding your enemies amidst all the overblown lens flare and smoke effects is difficult enough in this game even without an extra lighting glitch to top things off.
The glitch eventually stopped by itself after reaching the office areas.
