Speaking to DICE senior gameplay designer Alan Kertz, Techspotlight<\/a> has managed to compile a list of juicy new details regarding the developer’s upcoming multiplayer FPS, Battlefield 3.<\/p>\n

New info<\/strong><\/p>\n

– There will be no tracer darts in Battlefield 3. Tracer darts have been used in previous Battlefield games to magnetise vehicles and make them easier to hit with RPGs.<\/p>\n

– Like Bad Company 2, bullets will be effected by gravity over longer distances. However, the new system is much deeper than Bad Company 2’s.<\/p>\n

– Knives and dogtags will return.<\/p>\n

– There will be no ziplines or grappling hooks.<\/p>\n

– Friendly fire will be turned off by default, but will be adjustable.<\/p>\n

– The PC version of Battlefield 3 will allow up to 64 players online on a single server. The console versions will be limited to 24 players.<\/p>\n

– Bad Company 2’s spotting system will return in Battlefield 3.<\/p>\n

– ‘Drop-shooting’ (also known as ‘dolphin driving’) will not work in Battlefield 3. Drop shooting is when players drop to the ground when firing on enemies to make themselves harder to shoot.<\/p>\n

– Prone will be on all three platforms.

Stuff we already knew<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Playable locations will include Tehran and New York.<\/p>\n

– The game will run on the Frostbite 2 engine.<\/p>\n

– There will be a single player and a cooperative campaign.<\/p>\n

– Battlefield 3 will be out towards the end of 2011, and will be available on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.<\/p>\n
