BF3 sounds frigging amazing...

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. We also know that the game will need a powerful machine to run. The Frostbite 2 engine is designed for DirectX11 and won’t run at all on Windows XP. This could be the game to upgrade for. It’s been a long time, but Battlefield is back.
Feel The Battle! This fall, prepare to feel the most physical shooter ever created, powered by the all-new Frostbite 2 gaming engine.

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.

not as good as the ability to go prone in bf3





about bloody time

[DocDutch]

quite like the prone option.... 64player maps is going to be mental just hope that Dice are going to give us big enough maps for that amount of peeps. Jets... hmm tried them in BF2 and crashed all the time, choppers on BC2 and same result as the jets.

I've been a Battlefield fan since good ol 1942 & i tell you something, the planes in that game were a hell ov alot harder to fly than what BF2 offers. Then , when DC came along flying the choppers & planes were even harder, but once you mastered them, nobody could touch ya!

Looks good...think I'll be getting it for PS3 when its released, though I'm not really an online gamer so I hope the single player campaign is longer than COD and MoH

The BF franchise is mainly based around MP so don't be disappointed if it's short or not what you expect.

I do understand that.

Cant be any shorter than MoH Tier 1... 2/3 hours and that single player was complete...it was shorter than MW2

[sav112]

Whats not to understand, BF has always been MP first single second. in fact it was an after thought in a few of there games.

[MadGamer]

Looking forward to this

[Hom3r]

Will the MP work on the PS3

[DocDutch]

yeah but only 32 for the console not 64 which the pc is getting. Really looking forward to it as it looks brilliant

[cimt]
