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.

Battlefield 3 will release this Fall.

The new GameInformer issue is out and folks have already provided scans of the article, which include plenty of great-looking screenshots. Furthermore, these details were obtained from the article:

Aiming for Fall 2011 release

4 classes

Concept for BF3 has been in the works for years, waiting on proper tech to seamlessly come together

Frostbite 2.0 is the culmination of this tech, entirely re-written

Lighting sounds neat, one “probe” contains more lighting information than an entire BFBC2 level.

Level destruction is going to be “believable” but basically everything is destructible.

Character animations powered by ANT, what EA Sports uses.

AI characters and multiplayer characters have different animation sets

No more “gliding” animations that look off, animation realism is a focus

Captured their own war audios (bullets, tanks, helicopters, etc) at different distances to ensure realism

Better audio cues for certain actions, more easily able to listen for threats

Plan on better, more immediate post release content

More unlocks than Bad Company 2

Dice trying to find a good balance between customization of your character and not having “pink rabbit hat(s)”

Will have co-op

There will be a kill-cam but it can be turned off

BF3′s team is almost twice as big as the team for BFBC2

They want the pacing of the single player mode to be balanced, with highs and lows. Makes the comparison to a song vs a guitar solo.

Part of the single player mode takes place in Sulaymaniyah (Iraqi Kurdistan).

Will be M rated

PC version is lead version

No mod tools at release.

Cali you not on ps3? really ... shame or lame ... pick one. ;p

Article said PS3 users are most active on BF3 online .... very surprising as with BFBC2 it went "PC, 360, PS3"

Im on ps3 just havent opened game. At training.
 
I haven't nailed down a favorite class yet.... Stuck between Engineer and Support. I barely played recon also. Got my Acog scope for M249SAW and it's much better than the previous.

me neither but I've been playing as engineer lately, the game is a lot of fun especially last night with a bunch of us playing on opposite teams. Max got my tags twice and I got Docs once.

Yeah, that was cool last night. More Blu! online playing than I've seen in a while. Just like old times.

Problems haven't been fully fixed yet, video drivers causing crashes left and right still. Plus you need a decent - good PC to play this.
 
now I see tho 360 version sold double ps3 ... so who knows ... seems # will change.

Ok I have manually created (by editing code) an official BF3 HDN signature pic. For those who want it, let me know and I'll hook you up.

ie. I'm merging blu-clan to HDN ... if u want in cool, if not cool no prob, rep blu or whatever ... just figured we'd rep the site we are on. ;)

Thats awesome, I been going for all my ribbons as of late. I got 40/45.

For those playing BF3 on any console or PC you should join up here.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/ it will require you enter your EA Origin ID ... if you dont have one, create one. Its the only way you can add a clan tag in game, but also sports some robust stats and cool friend comparison.
 
Yeah thats the one I made the signatures at. I'm also working on using their API for some custom leaderboards for the site. Hope it works!
 
Same here... Idk what it is, but I can't kill anybody for s**t. Bfbc2 I was much better. But what really frustrates me is sometimes I'll get the X hit marker 4 or 5 solid times and they still don't go down. I'll get shot once or twice and I'm done. And one night I literally died like 8 times in a row from a headshot being the first from a regular assault rifle every time. Or on bfbc2 I could use a machine gun and go full auto on two or three unsuspecting enemies and take them all out with ease. This game, I won't even get a single kill and they're right in front of me with their back turned.

But oh well, it is what it is. I'll still be playing this until the next battlefield :D

I have that same problem and it pisses me off. I'll start some games like 0 kills and 10 deaths and then have to work my way back to respectability.
Man, I'm having trouble killing guys. Just take a look at my k/d ratio. It's a little higher now than what it says in my sig tag but not much.

What I really hate is that when I shoot at a guy who has the tactical light....I can't kill him no matter what. I'll shoot straight at the center of the light and it does nothing. I think they need to tone down the effectiveness of that tactical light. They're telling me I can't see a dude straight in front of me in broad daylight, even though he has a flashlight? Come on.

Oh, and good times last night. We were tearing people apart when we were joined up.
 
I just updated you by visiting these stats.

http://bf3stats.com/stats_ps3/thunda123

this is 3rd party stat engine that uses ea api to then get their stats so u gotta update this one. battlelog is updated often if not immediately. (which I think it is)

I've been a long time fan of the Battlefield serie, but now I must admit that I truly s*ck!!! Of course, BF2 and BF2142, I was playing on my PC and due to a long battle with games working/not working I decided to play now on PS3 but I'm now starting to think to go back...
