Looks amazing, good find!

#44

I like the sounds of that “Power to the PC players” bit.

#45

Yeah I saw that too, wonder what exclusives they have in store for us. =)

-Aiming for CY Q4 2011 release
-Jets
-Prone
-Concept for BF3 has been in the works for years, waiting on proper tech to seamlessly come together
-Frosbite 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 BFBC2
-Dice trying to find a good balance between customization of your character and not having “pink rabbit hat(s)”
-4 classes
-64 players for PC
-Will talk about squads “later”
-Looking into a theater mode but can’t talk about it
-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

Just needs Commander Mode and Game of the Forever.

Supposedly one of the levels has an earth quake.

This article has a few more infos than jambo’s post.

So mod tools are looking slim after all… :frowning: At least they give a good excuse for that.

#49

Hmm, I heard that there will be five classes: assault, medic, engineer, recon and support. But I guess it’s an old news.

#50

no mods tools

not big suprise

#51

That…

…is FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.

Glad to hear the core team from BF1942 and 2 is still pretty much intact.

This game is number 1 on my list of games I’m waiting for this year. Even above Skyrim for me.

#52

I wonder how DICE is going to make a singleplayer campaign for BF3?

#53

bla bla bla secret base
bla bla bla nuclear missile
bla bla bla we are counting on you
good luck

and then anonymous soldier becomes his own mother to further enhance the drama

#54

Duty calls are awesome! :awesome:

#55

Go work for dice, faggot :stuck_out_tongue:

#56

He quoted from Duty Calls.

#57

You love Duty Calls don’t cha ?

#58

Fuck yeah, they are better than Call of duty.

#59

I’d say its a good sequel of the franchise.

So I finally played some BFBC2 MP over the weekend and after a few games, I realized that it’s more fun than CoD. I still suck at it, but I plan on learning what to do to improve.

Any XBros wanna play with me? I could get Vietnam if you want to play that instead of regular.
