The Battlefield 3 Thread

The thread dedicated to all things related to Battlefield 3

Battlefield 3 will feature the maximalist combined arms battles that made the series popular across single-player, co-operative and multiplayer modes. It will reintroduce several elements absent from the Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles on PC. To accommodate the lower player count on consoles, the ground area will be limited for Xbox 360 and PS3, though fly space will remain the same.During an interview with GameInformer Magazine, EA stated that Commander Mode will most likely not be included, which was met with some criticism on the EA forum. Battlefield 3 uses a new type of character animation technology called ANT. ANT technology is used in EA Sports games such as FIFA, but will now be adapted to create a more realistic soldier, with the ability to transition into cover and turn their head before their body.

The game will feature maps set in Paris, Tehran, Sarajevo, Sulaymaniyah, New York, Wake Island and Oman. As a whole, combat will take place in urban streets, metropolitan downtown areas, and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat. The single player campaign takes place in the year 2014.

I can't wait for the jet fights in a BF game again. Haven't had that since BF2

[Scooby_Doo]

Is there any indication on what machine you will need to run this thing with some eye candy on?

[DCWarhound]

i'm guessing if you can run BC2 on the highest then BF3 should also run pretty good if not the same

[Gerick]

Can't wait it's been awhile since i've been this excited about a fps
What would be more awsum if they made the campaign like 2-4 player co op aswell
You can never go wrong with co op, but multiplayer will rock

So far this is definitely my GOTY 2011, can't wait!

[Rosaudio]

It's going to be torture waiting until it's released

[Phatso]

I wonder if the BETA is still only for MOH players... Hopefully they give a week of open BETA. If anything, it should help the wait till November.

I kinda have my doubts about that, I can run BC2 on max, but looking at requirements like Witcher 2, and comparing it to BC3 just makes me weep at the thought of what you'll need
