Various information coming out and it's all pretty damn good. Especially for us PC users

Battlefield 3 is the true successor to Battlefield 2. Beyond our signature multiplayer, we have also included a full single-player campaign and a co-op campaign – all straight out of the box. As for fan favorite features, how does the return of jets, prone, and 64-player multiplayer (on PC) sound? All this built with our powerful new game engine Frostbite 2, which you'll hear and see a lot of in the months leading up to launch. For the full reveal on Battlefield 3, stay tuned for links to our cover stories hitting the gaming press throughout February, starting with Game Informer right now.

Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of the competition with the power of Frostbite™ 2, the next instalment of DICE’s cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering superior visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before.

In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding single player missions and competitive multiplayer actions ranging across diverse locations from around the globe including Paris, Tehran and New York

Features:
• Frostbite 2 – Battlefield 3 introduces Frostbite 2, the incredible technology that takes animation, destruction, lighting, scale and audio to new heights. Built upon this powerful game engine, Battlefield 3 immerses players physically and emotionally to the world around them like never before.

• Feel the Battle — Feel the impact of bullets and explosions, drag your fallen comrades into safety, and mount your weapon on almost any part of the terrain. Battlefield 3’s cutting edge animation, spectacular visuals and real as hell battle gameplay attack your senses and make you feel the visceral warriors experience like no other FPS.

• Unparalleled Vehicle Warfare — The best online vehicle warfare experience gets even better with a fitting sonic boom as fighter jets headline impressive lineup of land, air and sea vehicles.

• Urban Combat — Take the fight to iconic and unexpected places in the USA, Middle East, and Europe including claustrophobic streets, metropolitan downtowns, and open, vehicle-friendly landscapes as you fight your way through the war of tomorrow.

If you like games like this you should really try out Planetside.

However starting this late (8 years after release) would be a bad idea, especially when Planetside: Next is in development and slated for release this Spring.

Hopefully SOE does it right but I have little faith in them.

[Saders]

fuck yeah man can't wait for this game to come out and distory all other fps

[Shazzow]

hope they use some elements that where in bad company 2 also.. like buildings being destroyed and such

[Eddogg]

From what I understand the entire environment is going to be destructible basically meaning a whole lot more then BC2 was capable of. Can't wait for actual game play footage in the next few weeks.

[Nidhoggur]

God Damnit

I guess instead of going to school I'm going to become a reclusive hermit who plays Battlefield 3. The trailer is awesome and considering BF2/BC2, it's going to be epic as fuck.

[Nidhoggur]

Also this about how much I want it

Various new info

DICE say that multiplayer will contain four classes, and there will be more unlocks than there were in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. There will also be a degree of character customisation for players, though DICE are cautious about letting items get too outlandish.

“How do you personalise a uniform? Giving the pink rabbit hat to someone would make it fun, but if you’re running around and you don’t know what you’re shooting at, you don’t take the professional gaming seriously in my book. There’s a challenge between personalising and keeping it uniform. We will do more in that area, making sure that you can get your character to be more personalised both in a visual way and more specifically in the way you gear up. We did a good job I would argue with Bad Company 2 with specialisations, different scopes and different weapons – you can kind of find your way of playing the game

Battlefield 3 will feature a kill cam, similar to Call of Duty’s, and players will be able to turn it off. DICE are also looking into implementing some form of the theatre mode for the game. If they do, expect plenty of videos of mass destruction.

The Frostbite 2 engine will allow for complete destructibility.

To make battles feel more authentic, DICE have even recorded their own weapon and vehicle sounds at different distances, so the distant boom of an RPG slamming into a tank two miles away will sound just right. The new animation system has been borrowed from EA sports games to allow for adaptive movement, cutting out instances of characters gliding in and out of locked postures.

Sulaymaniyah and Iraqi Kurdistan have been confirmed as locations in the game, joining Tehran, Paris and New York. There will be a full single player campaign which will be completely original, so don’t expect any characters from Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to return. It’s not yet known whether the co-op campaign will be a separate campaign.

Though the PC is the lead version of the game, there won’t be any support for modding on release. DICE say that the Frostbite 2 engine is complex and the tools would have to be dumbed down for general use. This doesn’t rule out a release of some form of mod tools in future.

Will there be guns?

This particular screen shot of the trailer is enough to make my ass sweat.

[Eddogg]

I am not sure if this is only through the EA Store or is valid through other places as well. But it's free if you pre-order for a "limited" time.

Those who decide to pre-order the game will get the first downloadable expansion, titled Battlfield 3: Back to Karkand, for free. Back to Karkand includes four “legendary” maps from Battlefield 2 recreated with Frostbite 2. Also in the package are classic Battlefield 2 weapons and vehicles, unique rewards, extra trophies/achievements, and more.

Apparently that video is private Seal

My best run was 77-0 in BF2 groundpounding Karkand in a 64 pop server

[Eddogg]

Make sure you have this set to 720p or higher and crank the volume for this shit!

End of the video it says March 16th they will release the second part to this. See below for a description of what's to come in the next 1 or maybe 2 videos.

Description of part 2, which people did see at the event and we have to wait a couple weeks for. A fucking EARTHQUAKE can't wait to see what that does to the environment

Not shown is what happened after the ambush. After a quick detour through a school (to show off the new lighting effects), your squad emerges on top of a building where a rocket ends the resale value of the neighborhood, and also takes out a sniper (along with the front half of ten-ish story hotel). A fast jaunt to a street sets up a climactic battle against enemy forces, when an earthquake hits, and suddenly everything goes to hell.

Buildings crumbled into pieces, sending up plumes of smoke and dust as the ground fluttered like a flag in the wind. One even toppled over onto an attack chopper hovering in mid-air. It looked strikingly realistic.


From IGN. Unfortunately no Multi-player game footage just yet.

-So far DICE isn't showing off any gameplay footage of the multiplayer component, which is too bad. I really wanted to see jets streak across the sky and launch precision strikes against unsuspecting targets.
-According to Bach, dragging bodies will not be a feature in the multiplayer component.
-DICE isn't yet confirming what type of health system will be implemented. It might be regenerative, it might be a hybrid style, or something else entirely. "We know there are pros and cons. We want to make sure that when we talk about that, we take it seriously. For some people that's a very important part [of the game]."

A guy questioned a current Infinity Ward employee about making a new Engine for the CoD Series.

Someone just needs to spend the $ and construct a new engine for the CoD franchise… Ground up…

Infinty Wards response! What a fucking joke lol

That would be counter productive. An engine takes years and years to develop and get right.

Isn't that the "new" Infinity ward? Didn't all the old folk from MW1/2 join up with EA?

[Eddogg]

Don't think they have joined EA yet. I know they talked, but their studio is still indy im pretty sure and they are still facing 10000 legal issues with activision.

And yah that is the new Infinity Ward. That guy worked there when the Old infinity was around as well. They kept him around / he stayed.
