Great, another game to consume my life as bad as Halo: Reach. I can't wait to see the new Frostbite 2 engine. http://enterbf3.com/
They included alot of new things with this one. This is from the site. Here's a list of all the things thus far that have been guaranteed for Battlefield 3 by DICE/EA or reputable representatives. We'll be expanding this list as time goes on. The following items are in Battlefield 3! Quote: * Prone * Jets * 64 Players for PC * 24 Players for consoles * Modern/Urban combat across the globe including Tehran, Paris, and New York * Vehicle warfare (including sea) * Destruction * Drag fallen teammates to safety * Single player campaign * USMC, EU, Russian, and MEC (or variant) factions * No Windows XP support * PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 * Battlefield 3 Limited edition copy announced at GDC '11
Yeah i'm not sure about the whole prone thing. This game is supposed to be about moving and flanking, not sitting there. Anyway, glad to hear about urban environments. BC2 has too many maps based on large fields. It makes camping and static positions more prominent. Man i haven't flown a BF jet since vietnam, can't wait! Edit: How would foot soldiers be able to take them down? I hope there are AA guns or SAM sites we can use...
You know damn well they're gonna put in some cool ass way's to take jets down. A SAM site seems very likely.
AWESOME!! I was wondering when this was going to start coming around. Man i have been playing the Vietnam DLC on the 360 so much, it trips me out when im super stoned (i think i am actually there gettin shot at!!! ) It makes for a damn good time. I just wish i had stoner friends who play this game haha. In regards to this new title, It will most definitely be amazing and i cant wait!
A question about frostbite 2.0 engine, i thought 2.0 was included in BC2? Was it just an upgraded version of 1.0??
Pretty sure it's just an upgraded version. Here's a quote from the blog. "Battlefield 3 allows you to feel the full impact of battle like never before. Powered by Frostbite 2, the next generation of DICE's cutting-edge [COLOR=blue ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=blue ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]gaming[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] engine, Battlefield 3 delivers spectacular visuals, earth-shattering destruction and real as hell combat gameplay providing a dramatic immersive First Person Shooter experience. One moment you may be marching down a hilltop listening to the hypnotic sound of a firefight in the distance or admiring the way the light reflects off the smoke plumes of ground to air missiles rising from the city you're about to engage. The next you're on an urban street, surrounded, claustrophobic, fighting for your life and looking eight ways at once with all your senses on high alert, chilled at the knowledge that the building you're hiding behind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Welcome to Battlefield 3."
if it has dolphin jumping and insta snipes like bf2 had ill be mad. i hated the snipers until like the third update. but i bet its going to be to good that i cant run it on my shit.
true. and now that ive said "shit" i should say the laptop i payed like 2 grand for to be able to game on the go aswell as do all my video editing. and now its 3 and a half years old and had the best parts for like 2 weeks, now i can barely play newer games.
I know what you mean dude, mine was $1800. I got mine specifically for gaming and music editing. I guess having it out in Afghanistan didn't help.
definitely not. im amazed at how welll mine has held up. only ever had to replace the screen. and im a wiz with laptops and desktop repair.
I'm a software guy, not so much a hardware guru. I could have just bought another laptop by now, but I've been investing in grow equipment and car repairs for a little while now and it seems so unimportant right now.
Finally, there will be some difference between the console and PC versions, and won't be simply a console port to PC, 64 players. About time, I haven't played a game with that many players on a map since Battlefield 2142. But I wonder if it can top Battlefield 2, there's still a lot of modern war games that haven't even come close. I wish they'd make a new futuristic one.
they better not take out jets in conquer matches. shits annoying. also custom content better be something i love that about black ops. but ill play it anyways, looking forward to it now.
