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.

I'm waiting until Christmas for this. The beta really put me off the multiplayer so I'm in no hurry. Single player looks awesome though, just need to decide if I want it on ps3, xbox or pc >_<
 
Picking up 2 copies at MIDNIGHT!! ..... 50 min drive back to the house, i'll be on at 12:50am

first time I ever do a midnight .... ;p
 
Well i got that coming too, as I'm buying a copy for my wife's brother.

Then the 2 copies I grab tonight are free in a sense. Turned in crap at hastings, much of which was blu-rays I bought for $1 each at BB sale this summer in Texas. So Definitely a good deal. Plus I want the free hat they are giving away at hastings.
 
Holy Amazeballs!!! 1080p, Ultra Settings, vsync and triple buffering, 60fps... AMAZING... runs flawlessly on my Computer at highest settings!!!
