I played Battlefield 3 twice at Gamescom 2011, here's the story.
The first day we went really early to Gamescom so the booth of Battlefield 3 wasn't opened yet. We made the left picture you see above. 10 AM the Gamescom opened their doors for normal people without press card and 5 minutes after the booth was very crowded, as you can see in the right picture. To entertain all the people in the queue, some EA girls gave iPad 2s to play Monopoly. The problem was that you had to wait up to eight hours to play 20 minutes of Battlefield 3. Fortunately, I just had to wait 30 minutes.
First of all the twelve minutes long Fault Line trailer was shown, followed by an instruction video of the different classes and the conquest mode. After that we were able to play on 64 PCs the multiplayer map Caspian Border in Iraq, with jets, helicopters and a lot of tanks. In my opinion, the helicopters are a bit overpowered so far because soldiers on foot could be killed in seconds without greater aiming.
Jet Flying was awesome. With speed and strength combined you had the feeling that the map wasn't limited and you would just fly over the world shooting people and helicopters. These could be taken down within seconds with the jets - without being unbalanced because against single soldiers the aiming was really tough.
Battlefield 3 will be released Octiber 27 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

Now that jet flying is what I am looking forward to the most!! :D
i seen this it looks awesome
I don't think it's good idea to stand somewhere, where helicopter can shoot you, so I don't see that as a problem.. just cover behind something and destroy it with rocket launcher.
