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.

They really aren't giving much out. At least we got a little more than the teaser that they released awhile ago.

I started one, haven't even opened two yet.

[psuexv]

I like one better, plot line wise anyway.

[steelerfan]

I still have never played 1, but loved 2. I'm gonna consider 3 for sure.

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?!? 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?
