Gameinformer March cover-BATTLEFIELD 3. [64 players- PC, 24 players-Console]

The franchise that revolutionized online multiplayer for PC games is back.

In our world-exclusive cover story, Game Informer unveils the first numbered entry in the Battlefield series since 2005. Many longtime fans are wondering, "what took so long?!" DICE has honed the concept for the true sequel for years, but it wasn't until the company developed the powerful new Frostbite 2 engine that it felt all the pieces were in place to create a proper follow-up. Armed with powerful upgrades like deferred rendering, real-time radiosity, a new animation system borrowed from the EA Sports label, and an exponential leap in destructibility, executive producer Patrick Bach dubs Frostbite 2 "the best piece of technology on the market when it comes to building games."

Cant really tell much from the gameplay video tbh, its really edited

From what i've seen/heard BF3 is basicly BF2 with an engine and gfx upgrade. The more i see the less i like, i guess only time will tell.

Well we know nothing apart from the intel that they have given us so far, be that posted info or teaser/preview trailers mate.

I to have heard the same thing, but from a few people it was because they were redoing the BF2 maps in the expansion pack (which does not make a BF2 reskin). We will have better information once the beta launches what sort of end product we are going to be looking at.

I for one, and quite a few other folks, will not be pre-ordering this (or possibly any other game again)!

PC gameplay, yes, PC

lets here the hate from usuals then. bottom line, IT LOOKS AWESOME, no matter wat you fuckers say.

i cant wait

Does look like a re-skinned BC2 lol..

I'll still get it tho..

Looks awesome, lets see how DICE fcuks it up before getting our panties all bunched up though.

12mins of pretty sensual visuals. Don't really care about the single player, but if it plays as good as it looks then should be a cracker. I may even pre-order this *shock horror*

It LOOKS nice enough but i'm not seeing anything that sets it apart from the rest gameplay wise, which is more important as far as i'm concerned.
As nice as the vids are, it still looks as though it's going to play like a rehashed BF2 with little new added into the mix, barring the stuff taken from BC2, which hardly makes it ground breaking.

I've already stated my dismay at the low number of players on MP and i've always been quite vocal about my opinions regarding EA/Dice, none of which has changed since seeing this.
Call me a hater if you want but i won't be in the que with the rest of the sheep to pickup what's quite possibly going to be just another sub-par title based solely on eye candy. Until i've played an extended 'demo' i certainly wont be parting with my cash.

If its anything like BC2 it will be fun for awhile so ill get it.. Hope its an improvement cause it would be an impressive game just like BF2 was..

Need another game too so ill happily part with my cash..

ive already pre-ordered
