Interesting that "diving" was an original move alongside rolling. That wasn't even in Battlefront 2.

Oh, it was leaked for a while on the Free Radical Wiki (as well as an obscene amount of content related to BF3).

I love how the MAF looks completely different from the final version.

There is some interesting stuff in there, it seems to me that originally they planned for the AI to be able to make more complicated maneuvers, on page 176 there are outlines for serpentine and flanking maneuvers from AI units.

There is also a section on powerups around page 159, I want to say I remember there being a discussion here at some point about there being powerups in the game files, but for the most part they do not function.

It appears that it is around 429 pages long.

Thanks I just went through it, interesting stuff.

"There is some interesting stuff in there, it seems to me that originally they planned for the AI to be able to make more complicated maneuvers, on page 176 there are outlines for serpentine and flanking maneuvers from AI units."

AI uses serpentine and most of other behaviors mentioned in the document. Im not sure if they do on BF1, but on BF2 they definitely do. You can see their behavior if you turn on "aimode" in debug exe that came wiht mod tools.
