Truck yea indeed.
Looks like this will be second game I have preorded (the first and only being battlefield 2).
Looks like they kept it current. I actually dont mind the present day setting. Interesting to see if BFHQ makes a come back and what sort of rewards and rank system they will have.

This is the only shooter I am buying this year!
But the question is will consoles be able to support 32 or 64 players!
Can't wait for more info!

No 64 player for consoles then, not really a surprise though.
More details will trickle out once this magazine is out.

Going to wait to buy desktop PC until GDC is over.
At that stage I'll know what I'll need to get to actually run the game nicely.

I wonder if there will be a commander. I also wonder what assests if any he will have.
I think portable stinger missles to try and counter chopper **** would be a good addition.

More info from the official site's Australian page:
| EA wrote: | Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of the competition with the power of Frostbiteâ„¢ 2, the next instalment of DICE's cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering superior visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding single player missions and competitive multiplayer actions ranging across diverse locations from around the globe including Paris, Tehran and New York.
KEY FEATURES
Frostbite 2 – Battlefield 3 introduces Frostbite 2, the incredible technology that takes animation, destruction, lighting, scale and audio to new heights. Built upon this powerful game engine, Battlefield 3 immerses players physically and emotionally to the world around them like never before.
Feel the Battle — Feel the impact of bullets and explosions, drag your fallen comrades into safety, and mount your weapon on almost any part of the terrain. Battlefield 3's cutting edge animation, spectacular visuals and real as hell battle gameplay attack your senses and make you feel the visceral warriors experience like no other FPS.
Unparalleled Vehicle Warfare — The best online vehicle warfare experience gets even better with a fitting sonic boom as fighter jets headline impressive lineup of land, air and sea vehicles.
Urban Combat — Take the fight to iconic and unexpected places in the USA, Middle East, and Europe including claustrophobic streets, metropolitan downtowns, and open, vehicle-friendly landscapes as you fight your way through the war of tomorrow.
|
Interesting.
They're going for real world locations this time, Paris, New York and Tehran...
Explosions throw you to the ground, sounds as if they're really going for a lot more animation in the way that you move and view the world, head bob 2012.
Dragging downed friends to safety should be interesting for team play also.
Limited Edition Contents
The Battlefield 3 Limited Edition includes Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand at no extra charge*
This themed expansion pack features four legendary maps from Battlefield 2 boldly re-imagined with Frostbite 2 physics, destruction and visuals. Completing the package are classic Battlefield 2 weapons and vehicles, unique rewards, new achievements / trophies, and more. For those who don't pre-order to secure the limited edition, Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand expansion content will be available for purchase approximately one month after the game's release.
From the art shown so far too, the vehicles seem to mirror those from BF2. Including those from the trailer we've seen:
• UH-60 Blackhawk
• M1A2 Abrams
• HMMWV
• LAV-25
• F/A-18E (< New addition, makes sense considering it's set in the now current day)
• UH-1Z Zulu (New Addition, again makes sense, as Marines do use this modernised Huey for carrier operations, which I'm guessing we'll see more of in BF3)
• SU-34*
*not 100% on this one, I'd assume it's the Platypus based on BF2, definitely a Sukhoi of some sort with canards, but it could be any number of SU-30 variants from the grainy silhouette from the trailer, it's currently the only non US Marine equipment seen thus far

This game sounds awesome, and I so can't ruin it by getting it on a console. I might need something decent to play PC games this year.

You are the only person i have seen that does not want prone. Everyone else seemed to whine when it was taken out of BC2.

Looks more in line with Mirrors Edge than Bad Company. Sweet. Especially love the smoke effects although I want to see them in action.

Actually it's a MH-6, in use today with SOCOM, M reflecting their multi purpose nature. I also spotted M16A4s and a M249. Which page had the G3? Makes sense though since that's the service rifle of Iran. Also the AT-4 is better described as a rocket, non-guided and all.

They're sticking with the 4 classes a la Bad Company 2, rather than the 6 from BF2. I'm not happy about this part.
but everything else: woot!

So far so good!
Prone or no prone will always be a 50/50 argument. You can't deny it does have the potential to promote camping.
4 classes is fine!

How is it possibly an argument whether prone should be in or not? An extra feature is more than welcome, especially one that adds more strategy to the overall game.
That and campers are free kills

LOLOLOL so much hate, prone is awful...
I am shocked that so many people love it...
I hope there is a penalty for using it mid combat.. such as 1 second before you can shoot, or it's going to be exploited like in other FPS games.
run in, jump prone (hit boxes screw up) get a headshot.. move on.
on another note jets are back wooohooo.
EDIT: I'm glad i upgraded to an i7 950 570gtx few weeks back.. looks amazing so far.
