:BF3: Things to know

Official Battlefield 3 Website

Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of its time with the power of Frostbite™ 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 enhanced 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 missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York.

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 warrior's 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 an impressive lineup of land, air and sea vehicles. Other returning fan favourite features include 64 players for PC and PS3 32 Players.

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.

The load-out for each soldier is one primary weapon with the option of three weapon attachments, one secondary weapon, two gadgets, and one specialization. So far the factions that have been confirmed for Battlefield 3 are the U.S Army Rangers and the Russian Spetsnaz; Middle Eastern Coalition (MEC) forces have yet to be confirmed but are likely to appear.

The Limited Edition of BF3 has unique trophies and extra maps. If you didn't buy the LE on day one, they will be released within one month's time, or whenever DICE feels like it.

I CALL THE F-18!!!! THATS MY BABY!!!

@CLOWNZ i dont think we have a great game in our hands..... we have a fucking super.fragalilstic.espialidocious.mega.awsome. game in our hands. possibly a COD Killer.

wait scratch that..... THIS IS A COD KILLER!

PS: what would make this game a hell of alot better would be to have the ability to customize vehicles. imagine a F-18 thats all nighted out (all black) with "UGL" written on the belly of the plane. just a thought more than likely wont happen but that would be sick.

@ Lancer: This guy and the stuff he thinks of.... Makes me LoLz

@ Ken: Nice to hear, Now i have been trying all day to get my hands on the leaked weapons only handful..

No luck

@Clownz: I still haven't run across a weapons list myself. I do you'll be the first to know. Also here's some more info about the Limited Edition from Amazon.com, which by the way is running a promo where you can buy BF3, Batman Arkham City, and Uncharted 3 for $177. If you want them on release day expect an extra 5 bucks.

Battlefield 3 Limited Edition

My question is this, what could possibly be the 10 classic Battlefield 2 weapons that we'll have. Makes me want to find a legal copy of BF2 once again and get owned by PC gamers.

rumors of playstation move 0.o

Hmm 10 classic BF2 Weapons... O.o

if it's the weapons im thinking of goodie goodie bring'em over..

I'll be Updating First post.. so Check back regularly.

Btw Jango can you fix the Bullets for me.. Ty

yes i will roll the skys on bf3 in jets/choppers god!

Roll? *Rule* shit i know im gonna enjoy road killin mugs in my helo

Stop picking on my boy like that. Clownz, you gonna send Anth to an early retirement.

as long as you dont touch jango's jet or my jet everything will be good.

i take wtf i want to take nobody here can stop me.

The game ain't out and we're arguing over jets. I already know who's gonna win and getting my popcorn ready. $100 on Anthony.

LoL Reality check, If i spawn near a jet im not walking away to let one of yins to fly, I actually want to try out the Jets, Proof shown (Which is sad) arguing over claim to a jet.
It's gonna be like always whoever spawns near the jet gets the jet.. but i already know two numb skulls wont respect it so im calling it as much as i would love to try out the jets im not fighting over fucking jets..

Only one who will actually be worth a damn in the jet is Jango.

Im avoiding Jets so i don't have to hear certain party bitch..

Tho, if anth gets in the jet, there shouldn't be no bitching *HE's LEADER*

Reply however you want to reply, I can pretty much see it now, just for any clan mates try jets out is gonna lead into arguing.. and what does that prove?

nothing but clan members not working together. Ty

lmao! like i said! it dont matter who gets it im tired of seeing how 2 will roll the sky this and that bla bla bla. nobody here knows what controls will be for crist sake fizz or fucking angel could be top flight.. no one knows what strength any one will have yet because nobody has played the damn game. my 2post b4 this was simply sarcasm im not sure if i'll be any good in a jet im just simply saying that if your no damn good at it after your 5th try you shouldn't be wasten a jet somebody else could be great at. practice on your time or private matches not when we need it most. i cant speak for random folks but you get my point if not go ahead a bitch because you will be on my shit list were i make you quit the clan. ANTHONY HAS SPOKE!

[RETURNS HIJACKED TOPIC BACK TO BF3: Things to know]

I remember hearing Anthony talk about a 'potiental' co-op mode on BF3. Has anyone heard anything else about it.

i haven't heard shit. far as i kno co op was supose to be for story but if you remember our chat when i got the game imformer and all the questions that were ask was: is co op involv with story? dice simply said we are not given any info on co op yet but it will be something worth doing with 3 other friends???? now dice is sometimes str8 foward with a yes or no soo my thoughts is yes co op for story unless they are putting bfbc2 co op in or who knows maybe both?? by august or september we should get flatline info on everything even weapon stats and so forth. if not 2weeks before drop date to be more safe on prediction still gotta go through beta so they can get a public opinion and make quick changes to weapons if need be.

We'll we know Co-Op is going to be in BF3 * It's confirmed* Now if coop is just for story or something like onslaught mode or both is unknown

Though after closed beta comes public demo of BF3 with single player and Mp

Details about the Back to Karkand expansion pack

Back to Karkand

strike @ Karkland was the MAP!!!!

Going Back to Karkand #3: Introducing Gulf of Oman and Sharqi Peninsula

I got another coming in a few hours detailing some things I read about the MP.

Double POST!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!

All jokes aside, here's a very interesting video that I think ALL clan mates should watch about BF3.



Also here are some scans about BF3 from PSM3 magazine that I got copy of.

BTW, yes this is MY photobucket account and I haven't touched it since 2008.

wow man, BF3 actually is shaping to look like a CoD killer, despite PC gamers whining bout consoles getting BF3 prime example enterBF3.com or net or ask ken i sent link to him..

he enjoys correcting me, just like Jango be my spellcheckerz<-- sarcasm

I don't enjoy spellchecking grown men or women. I'm something of a kiss ass that LOVES to boost people up....

So you're like the internet version of a "Yes" man-company suck up?

Anyway watched that BF3 special video and I'm very impressed with everything in it. DICE is really putting a lot of talent and resources behind this game. BF3 is going to hurt CoD sales, I know it.
