Battlefield 3 teased: jets, destruction, 64 players on PC
By Ben Kuchera | Last updated about 2 hours ago

EA has finally shared some Battlefield 3 details with fans—you can read and see even more in the latest issue of Game Informer—and what we know makes us very hopeful about the title. At least some of our wishlist has been granted.

"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," the official site states. "As for fan favorite features, how does the return of jets, prone, and 64-player multiplayer (on PC) sound?" There is also a short teaser, but it doesn't show much in the way of actual gameplay.

So what do we still want? Dedicated servers where we have a high level of control over game settings, as well as modding tools and the ability to create maps and game modes. I doubt we'll get those things due to the challenge of keeping things fair and cheat-free as players level up their characters, but we can dream.

We'll know more about the game as we head towards the Game Developers Conference. Battlefield 3 is coming to the PS3, 360, and PC this fall.

I never played 1, and I just got 2 a few weeks ago. I'm not an online shooter guy, but I'm very impressed with the Campaign Mode. I'll keep 3 on my radar because of how much I'm enjoying 2.

Battlefield 3 and EA Sports titles may seem to be a no man's land apart, but a recent interview with Tobias Dahl, lead animator on the shooter, reveals how DICE turned to the company's sports juggernauts, like FIFA and Madden, to enhance the new Battlefield's animation.

"I started to look inside EA and see what we had there," Dahl said in a video featurette posted by Game Informer. "And, quite naturally, I started looking into the sport games because what they have is animation -- that's what drives their games [...] and it looks pretty good, I'd say."

The animation tech used by EA teams, dubbed "ANT," was created 7–8 years ago, by Dahl's count, and has evolved into a "powerful" tool, combining the knowledge of EA's otherwise separated programming teams over many years of iteration.

This is by far the best FPS shooter I've seen thus far!! Man I can't wait until they release the beta!! And with them going to EA SPORTS for animations(ANT Technology) has definitely already shown major improvements in the way the soldiers move and react....man o man do you hear the clarity in the sound?!?:drool::drool: Sorry guys....can't help it!!!!

I love the entire battlefield series already so they would have to jack it up for me not to like it. In fair disclaimer I think these vids are from the PC I want to see how it translates over to the console.

I know it was mentioned before but I would love to have my battlefield stats as my avatar. Will we ever be able to add anything of the sorts?

if you guys are referring to battlefield 1 and 2 thats fine, but bad company is an entirely different game though its the same game title. I will say if you are talking about battlefield 1 or 2 good luck making those work on your PC, I know you can get modern combat to work because it still has a crazy following. This game is more inline with the original battlefield series than it is with the bad company series.

Actually when i wrote that I was think Battlefield 2 modern combat was something like an expansion to BF2.

BF and BF2 are better than bad company I will not deny that on PC they were anyway, console version of BF2:modern combat was ok. Bad Company is so far from COD its crazy thats why I actually liked them versus any COD game, maybe besides COD4 but that was like the holy grail of shooters.

Question for those in the know: How much better do you think the PC version of this game be? What will the differences be? It's been a long time since I was a computer game guy so I figured I'd see what people's thoughts were.

I think it will be tons better on the PC, of course you have to have a pretty new PC to play it but as someone has already said either here or at utopia 64 man battles with artillery strikes/planes/copters/tanks etc...will be fully utilized on the PC with bigger draw distances for the graphics...consoles just cant handle ALL of that...they will surely get some of that though.

Is it worth buying a gaming rig for? probably not and the enjoyment will be quite good on the console I am sure.

Well my only reason for considering it was that I have been thinking about getting a new Desktop PC to act as sort of a "central hub" for my network and multimedia anyways. It would be hooked up to my TV & router. I thought that if I do that, I might as well make it a solid gaming computer too. I figure the two kind of go hand in hand multimedia/gaming, a computer that does gaming well should be able to do everything I need it to multimedai-wise right?

Honestly if EA would start putting out Janes Combat Sim style games again this wouldn't even be a debate. I spent 3 years of my life in middle school glued to those damn games. :D

morsdraconis
06-07-2011, 12:01 PM
I think you would behoove yourself to play it on the PC instead of a console. Frostbite 2 (the game engine that BF3 is using) is specifically designed to take advantage of Direct X 11 and 64bit Processors (as well as multiple processors) along with the newer style GPUs to really push the graphics to the next level. Personally, I don't see how the PS3 or 360 could possibly come anywhere close to matching the PC for this game.

By the time this game comes out, I will have my 360 fixed, but I most definitely will not be playing this game on the 360 and I think anyone that could play it on the PC would be foolish not to.

While I agree with your point IOU, I don't really want 16 people talking in my ear they should though at least give me the option to hit a button to talk to everyone.

I dont really get your biased against the snipers they are nowhere near as bad as they are on COD, though they do need to make them more visible, they are too well hidden on the battlefield game, and the motion sensors are very irritating because people mass throw them out and run in places with shotguns. Overall I think the game is more balanced than most shooters out today, it just recently got to a COD irritation level when everyone realized that shoguns have a crazy range.

Over half my games lost on Bad Company 2 were because everyone on my team was sitting back sniping. There needs to be a limit on how many people can be a sniper as that's exactly why I stopped playing the game.

Yes, it's the same team as far as I know. It's Dice who did the Bad Company games and Medal of Honor online.

It wouldn't be a new entry in a popular series without retailer specific pre-order bonuses. As previously revealed, all pre-orders will receive the limited edition of Battlefield 3 and, thus, the "Back to Karkand" map pack DLC, though each retailer will also have some different additional bonuses.

GameStop (http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/games/battlefield-3-limited-edition/90175) is offering the (timed exclusive) "Physical Warfare" DLC and PowerUp Rewards members will also snag a copy of the Prima strategy guide. Best Buy pre-orders (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Battlefield+3+Limited+Edition+-+Xbox+360/2107458.p?id=1218310010131&skuId=2107458&st=battlefield%203&lp=2&cp=1) will receive the "SPECACT Kit," a package of eight multiplayer skins. Finally, Amazon pre-orders (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUT F8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dbattlefield%25203%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps%23&tag=thegamtai-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957) include a pack of exclusive multiplayer dog tags.

With the videos and screenshots that have emerged so far of Battlefield 3 being nothing but impressive, it's been rather hard for fans of the series to hold in their excitement. Thanks to an article in the September issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, a detail regarding the "Battlelog" feature has been confirmed for Battlefield 3.

The excerpt from the article in the September issue states, "Taking a cue from Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit's incredible, persistent world Autulog feature, "Battlelog" is how Battlefield will track real-time player stats, allowing gamers to create platoons (read: clans) and socialize with others.

http://www.stickskills.com/gfx/Battlelog620.jpg

The article states how EA plans for the "Battlelog" feature to be entirely free, and state's that it is "currently just a web application". Over the next few weeks, we're expecting EA to announce fully how the integration works in the retail version of Battlefield 3 which is due out in October. Be sure to pick up the September issue of the Official Xbox Magazine when it hits store shelves!

Battlefield 3 will have 10 times the hardware unlocks as Bad Company 2, in an obvious ploy to keep players away from friends, family and potential mates for years to come. Battleblog #5 (http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2011/08/05/bb.aspx##), "Years worth of unlocks and rewards in Battlefield 3," unsurprisingly boasts a massive unlock tree for vehicles and oodles of unlocks for weapons, weapons attachments and gadgets. It also lists awards, service stars, kit tailoring options and tactical unlock details.

Battleblog #5 focuses on Battlefield 3's "play it your way" philosophy, giving players more flexibility in creating their kits and earning service stars to keep us playing well into 2013 and beyond.

Can't wait. This is going to be the first game of the series I've ever bought/owned/played, so looking forward to playing the beta. Maybe the beta will get me to actually give multiplayer a chance.

I've owned Black Ops since the day it came out, and have literally spent a total of 5 minutes in public multiplayer since release day because the public just pisses me off with their win at all costs bullshit. MW2 ruined it for me back in August 2009, and since then, multiplayer has essentially become dead to me in every game. I'll only play Combat Training where I can set how many AI opponents and what difficulty, or I'll play with friends in CT or Private Match. That's it for me in COD anymore.

I doubt it, but maybe this will give me new hope of a "dick around with my friends in a public multiplayer" game.

Huh? I've had the beta since last night. I've only played 2 hours because I absolutely can't stand it.

There's two REALLY annoying animation glitches. If you're running and hit a rock or something, it wont let you run until you knife. This happens ALL the time. Another is similar and not as annoying because it doesn't happen as often, but even more annoying when it does. For some stupid reason, it sometimes wont allow you to aim down your sights. Once again, this is corrected by knifing. I really hope these two things get fixed.

Another really annoying thing is the audio drops. There were a few occasions where I would just fall over dead without hearing a single shot. I cranked my volume all the way up, and as I figured, there are some massive audio drops. Sometimes it will be fine, then other times so low you have to turn it up. After a few minutes, it'll kick back in and be so loud you can barely stand it. Very odd, but should be able to be fixed.

That's about all the glitches I've seen so far, as far as game play, well...I hated it at first but I am starting to enjoy it a bit more as I unlock some stuff and get the hang of things. I don't like how much they've raised the bullet damage, but whatever, I kind of figured they would. Snipers are still annoying as fuck, but whatever, didn't really expect that to change. You STILL can't communicate with anyone outside of your squad, which is really annoying, but again, oh well.

The hit detection is my big thing. It's still messed up and that is the one thing that really bugs me. It feels exactly like it did in Bad Company 2. Sometimes the bullets will register and sometimes they wont, it just seems too random.

IF they can eliminate these bugs, I'll enjoy the game. As it is now, there's so many bugs that constantly happen I don't even want to bother with it. I will say this, though, the graphics and the animations are absolutely top notch. It's a beautiful game and even more impressive when it's in motion. Their online stat tracking site is also very impressive.

I haven't noticed that if I hit a rock I couldn't run, I did notice how at times I couldn't run for some reason maybe that is why, I really dunno, I fix mine my going prone then getting back up and it works. I have seen the audio drops as well as sometimes when I spawn the screen is still that blue color like I am dead.

I do think the hit detection is fine, I still am unsure about what you are looking for in that arena, I am sure you are about to say something about the bullet damage soon as well. I accredited most of it to it being a beta though, the can't run and the audio drops anyway. The game did get worlds better once I unlocked some sights, camping is going to be a major pain the ass though, like I have seen times where the rushing team is just laying around not even trying to arm the things and no one is moving (hence why I stopped playing rush in first place)

According to their blogs you were suppose to be able to communicate with everyone on your team now, how do you do that I honestly don't know, but it was mentioned I know.

Edit: I was also just joking about the job, I found it humorous you are always on basically every shooter that was all.

It's because you're hitting collision objects in the map. It happens to me all the time. The not being able to aim glitch doesn't happen nearly as often, but it's equally annoying when it does.

Hit detection is fine if you're using a sight, which is exactly how it was in Bad Company 2. When using the standard iron sights, you have to aim low. I immediately adjusted to it but I still can't believe they didn't get that tuned up. I immediately noticed it when I first started playing BC2 and it's the first thing I noticed when playing BF3 for the first time.

I will agree that it does get better with unlocks. I actually started having some fun when I got my red dot, mainly because I could actually aim for the head and have it register as a headshot. Camping is going to be a huge problem. The bullet damage is just way too high, the map has way too long of sight, and there's really no reason for people to move. Why move and get killed on the way when you can sit in one spot and get several kills strung together? Part of the problem is Rush - such a shitty game mode.

oweb26
09-28-2011, 09:17 AM
Rush is a terrible game mode, it was fun on BC1 and early parts of BC2 before every one started realizing that all you have to do is camp on it, but its absolutely horrible now and I question why it is still in the game. I play a shit ton of conquest and its a pretty decent game mode ( nothing more than domination) but I am curious to see how any of the other game modes will work out.

I am hoping camping will balance itself out once people get use to the locations where people hang out at (kinda like the old Ghost series), and yes the spawn points can be horrendous if your teammate is a a bad location, I snagged a couple of 8 kill streaks off of shitty spawn points. I do like that they have made light machine guns inaccurate on the run now, what I don't like are the different weapons depending on what team you are on, not a big problem but I liked having all my guns available. LOL

With Battlefield unfortunately you never know, they have had maps that were only available on one mode. Its a terrible map for any mode if you ask me, outside of the "outside" portions, it has wayyy too many chokepoints, but there are ways around them though just kinda irritating IMO, mostly the subway part.

Yeah, in my four short matches on Rush, definitely not something I'd probably play often. Give me some other modes. Definitely ran into my fair share of campers. A couple corners down in the subway where there would always be someone hanging around somewhere. And I agree about the different weapons. I hate that.

No need in voicing myself opinion on rush see previous post but just like u I am curious on other modes unlike u I enjoyed the hell out of bc2. A being how much I hate modern warfare this is my only choice. I don't think I am going to enjoy this game though adding prone has done nothing but created a monster that frankly I don't have the time to deal with.

The problem is Rush and TDM are the two most played game types for BF2:BC so I'm sure they did it that way since Rush is their one game mode that's different from pretty much all over FPSs. Personally, I fuckin' hate Rush and TDM. I'd rather play Capture The Flag or Domination than anything else. At least they take skill to win, instead of just camping in the same fuckin' spot over and over again while covering all the different directions that you can possible go to get to that spot.

When you die hit X on the 360, whatever that button is on the PS3, and it brings up all your classes, then select the class you want to edit and it should take you to the gun loadout screen.

The game I went 36-5 I started off with a sniper rifle up on the hill above B. I threw a grenade at the wall at A so I could see people trying to lay down and arm the explosive Moving my sights back and forth from A to B I just patrolled lol. I tagged about 4 in a row running down the hill to B with one shot kills. Then once we moved to the subway system I moved to Assault and was just gunning guys with flashlights down.

Once they got to the point where you arm explosives upstairs in the subway I switched back to my sniper rifle and was shooting through the booth and on the move. I love playing a sniper in Battlefield, it takes me back to my Delta Force (PC Game) days. COD the sniper doesn't get a lot of love, the maps are too small also.

Battlefield 3 fans have been made aware that there will be significant differences between the PC and console versions of the shooter upon release. One of the major points that DICE has made at tradeshows of late, is that the PC version of the game will host 64 players, while the console version of the game will host 24. With the console version of the game only hosting 24 players DICE announced at C2E2 in Chicago, that there will be boundaries placed on players in the console version of the game.

This is familiar territory for Battlefield Bad Company players that played on Xbox 360 and PS3. The maps themselves will be scaled down on consoles with the out of bounds zones surrounding the maps. As for planes? Planes will have a much larger airspace to fly around in compared to the players on the ground. Other news that came out of the Chicago showing, was that a PS3 build of the game was shown at the show, and the attendees were impressed by the graphics on the PS3 version.

DICE admitted to show goers that consoles may be a bit dated, but that new technology was being used to achieve the result at or near what we have been seeing in the initial trailers for the game. A system of streaming and pipelines to compress the information from the game, pumping it through the console and uncompressing it as it converted to the output seen on the television monitors. They said that because of this console versions are going to be equally as impressive as the PC versions, which have already been said to be the lead platform for development.

So yes, jets are in the console version. They are going to allow them to fly out of bounds to be able to maneuver properly. PS3 maps will be scaled down compared to PC because it's 24 players compared to 64. The planes will be able to use the whole map though...hope this helps.

Agree 100%.

I tried so hard to like it. I truly did, but there comes a time whenever you just have to tell yourself it's a shit game and there's zero value in it for you. EA would have been smart to not even release the beta. Whether it's truly much improved in the final retail game remains to be seen, but I don't even care. There are SO MANY issues with this game. The health is incredibly low(supposedly fixed, but I tend to not believe it), the hit detection is STILL messed up, and the unable to run, aim, get under the world glitches just drive me nuts.

IF everyone says that they actually fixed everything, I'll get it later. Hell, if IGN says it's actually improved and has higher health, I'll buy it release day. If not, not a chance. This game, or at least the beta, does one thing that I absolutely can not fucking stand, and that is promotes camping. When you have these vast maps with extremely low health, LOL, good fucking luck crossing the map against a good team.

SmoothPancakes
10-14-2011, 07:47 PM
Yeah. It really got old when I'd be trying to get from where I spawned to where the rest of my team was and I'd see one or two hit markers show up on me screen and before I could even react or do anything, I was was falling over dead and waiting to respawn. Pretty much the last week of the beta, I never bothered going back into and playing it again.

Well, everyone FPS promotes camping, BF is just the worst about it.

Also, there's no chance in hell I'm going to ever buy this game, good IGN review or not. Now that I have a PC worth a fuck again, I refuse to play FPSs on a console and since EA is hellbent on FORCING me to use their shitty proprietary download software to even have a chance of playing the fuckin' game on PC (even out of the box) they can shove their game up their money hungry asses. I will NEVER support a game or game company that forces me to download a proprietary way to play their fuckin' game.

I think alot of it has to do with Rush mode and the camping now I am by no means saying that people will not camp the shit out of the game, but rush mode on that map was a terrible decision.

I don't really see the Bad company 2.5 comparisons, I don't think you guys played bad company enough, its not even close to bad company. Even if it is, is that bad? (not talking to IOU, mostly because he has a problem with every shooter that is ever released)

I didn't say it was 2.5. I said I don't feel like playing a game where any noob can get a kill. I'd much rather have BC 2.5 as opposed to what I saw in the beta.

To me it's more realistic in the sense that if you want to move around & not get shot, you'd better take your time and IDEALLY move in groups for mutal support. I LOVE that it's harder to just run around as you please because a couple of shots will kill you, as they would in real life. Not saying there aren't some things that could be improved but personally, I enjoyed the game quite a bit.

That's well and good, on a map that's not ginormous. If I have to spend half of the game moving slowly to get into position, only to get camped to death by some lame ass team that just sits in the two or three spots that create a crossfire that is impossible to move past, what the hell is the point of playing the game?

To each their own. I think it's boring as hell and would rather play Hannah Montana. When you have these gigantic maps where you can see as far as can be and it only takes 2 or 3 bursts to kill someone from long range, it's going to create a huge imbalance when it comes to moving. People are going to do exactly what people did in the beta - hide in an area and wait for someone to appear on their screen for an easy kill.

As I said before, if people start saying the health is higher than it was in the beta, I'll give it a try. If not, I'm not wasting my money on it.

I went ahead and preordered this earlier today. Every review I've read this week is just glowing about how much better the final version plays over the beta. Kind of begs the question, why the fuck would EA release such shit when they have a game that is a lot better? It wouldn't surprise me a bit to hear that they lost a good many sales over the lacking quality of the beta.

The thing that won me over is that every single article I've read(Destructoid, IGN, and Joystiq) all raved about how the health was much higher and there was actual gun battles as opposed to the one or two hit BS in the beta. Considering that was my main beef for not wanting to get the game, hearing that it's fixed from multiple sources is more than enough to get me to pull the trigger and I'm definitely glad. I was really excited about BF3 until I played the beta and saw the low health.

I think he prescribed to the rational that it was a beta so close to retail that it would be really close to the same, i kinda felt that way myself, though I didnt have a problem with the bullet damage as much as I did basically encouraging people to camp, not to mention it was a "rush" mode game type "yuck".

The beta did tamper some of my excitement but I have been a loyal battlefield player for some time now so I expect shit that from them, they release stuff and fix it later...oh wait that sounds like something else EA does on another one of their products.

JBHuskers
10-20-2011, 08:56 AM
But the purpose of a beta is to take what you have, then take the feedback on it to set it up for retail. MP stuff is tuned server side, so what you see in the beta is not going to be a representation of retail hardly ever.

No, beta is to test. When they've solved the problems beforehand and release a beta anyway, especially as shitty as the one EA decided to release, they're borderline retarded. It was a marketing ploy and they're just lucky it didn't end up biting them in the ass. 99% of the time, betas are going to be REALLY close to the final game, which apparently isn't the case here.

They've stated numerous times that all the issues in the beta had already been fixed, so why even release a beta if they know everything is working the way it should? I don't really care. As long as they raised the health(which they did) and I don't have to play that shit of a game mode, Rush, I'll get my enjoyment out of it.

oweb26
10-20-2011, 10:12 AM
I think debating the concept of term in the case is irrelevant they released it too close to retail and like most of us who are on the internet too damn much we know that "hey the game comes out in 3 weeks" call it what but we can't really expect too many big changes. They also didn't state any of the "changes" until the beta was out already, they actually didn't even list the higher health in their "fixes" that just happened to be mentioned by game sites.

I don't think betas are necessarily close to the final game, I have been in some that were so far away from retail that they had time to implement big changes.

I OU a Beatn
10-20-2011, 01:45 PM
They knew. I posted on their forums during the early access beta(before most people even had it) about the extremely low health when running, the inability to sometimes run, the inability to sometimes aim down sights, the ability to get under the map, and about the hit detection when aiming around the head.

I got a reply not even an hour later that said something along the lines of "most of these issues have already been fixed." They knew. They chose to release an old(and incredibly buggy build) to draw some more attention in hopes of getting more sales. As I said, I don't really care, but it does baffle me a bit.
