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.

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.

anyone play team deathmatch?
running around and killing people :)

It's all I play now, real fun. Had some real great games with your help.
 
Geez, it's been a month since I've been on this game. well, any game for that matter. I'm in one of those....."too tired to play," funks.

me too, I was playing this all by my lonesome when Max was off killing fools on COD haha.

I did play 6 chapters of UC3 tho.

my bad! but, you know i have to represent on COD! gotta teach these noobs who's boss! :scat:

i would really like to squad up sometime, lay waste to some fools! :cool:
 
How is UC3 so far? Any idea how many chapters there are?

Pretty darn good so far, I ran through 6 chapters really fast ... so I would hope there is at least 18 chapters ... no idea tho.

Pulling most teeth isn't that hard though. Just gotta give it a little pressure.;)
 
anyone want to teach me how to fly? haha
i barely make it off the runway!!

flying a jet is easy, now shooting down another jet, not so easy! i like flying in third person view and only switching to the cockpit when im engaging an enemy. try flying in third person view for starters. in no way am i saying that im good, im just saying that i can fly! :scat:

helicopters on the other hand, well i cant help you there! :(

BUMP!
I dont know how to practice with them without dropping a bomb on my K/D ratio. Some players will takeover with jets and kill a walking player like nothing with the jet machine gun. One player with a stinger isnt enough on a jet with a leveled up setup equipped. :shoot:
 
it seems like when i play with random people, we never win unless i get a billion kills -___- its frustrating for when i wanna snipe and cant amass 20+ kills

dang, toot your own horn much! :rolleyes: probably cause you are too worried about your k/d ratio and not helping the team! just saying!
 
I got on last night for a bit ... couldnt get in any of your games Death ... so I finally just switched over to UC3
