Battlefield 3 Close Quarters Combat Hinted

CERFY was at the C2E2(an expo at Chicago) and got to see a Battlefield 3 demo. The big reveal was that close quarters combat is no longer a simple knife animation with the single click of a button. You now have the ability to punch with your left or right hands and even throw a counter attack with the correct mouse gestures. Which really underlines DICE’s desire to take the things they learnt from Mirror’s Edge(the CQC combat and the movement of your character in first person) and implementing them into Battlefield 3 making for a more immersive game. If this was in multiplayer, it would be awesome. I can just imagine someone kung fu fighting their way to the frontlines. Battlefield 3 should be out later this year.
