S00N3R FR3AK Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 HERE WE GO Gameinformer I hope the style of the cover is one of only a few things it takes from BF BC2(along with frosbite 2 of course) TRAILER From GI Most of the hard information is being kept under wraps for the cover story, but here's some declassified intel for you: Several standout features that defined Battlefield 2 return to the fold, including 64-player multiplayer on PC, jets, and the ability to go prone. What other features do you hope to see in Battlefield 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 A new engine? I hope it's better than Frostbite... I really wasn't impressed with that tech, except for Battlefield 1943, simply because it was an XBLA/PSN game with fairly good graphics. I look forward to seeing this. Given that DICE canceled the PC versions of Battlefield 1943 and Bad Company 2: Onslaught to focus on this, it better be impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trag3dy Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 It's not technically a new engine. It's Frostbite 2.0. BC2/Vietnam run Frostbite 1.5. Am I the only that's disappointed that they're making a single player for BF3? Just focus on multiplayer DICE.. executive producer Patrick Bach dubs Frostbite 2 "the best piece of technology on the market when it comes to building games." If he read what the developers have said about their engine and how they have to go about patching their game and delivering updates and whatever else he wouldn't have said that. Maybe it has changed in Frostbite 2.0 but I really doubt it. So How about modtools Software engineering, file formats, and build process packaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some things need work like the netcode and how the player movement feels, but in many ways it is still extremely impressive. BC2 has some of the most immersive graphics and sounds I have ever seen in a multiplayer game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrosslover Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Wasn't this what happened with Battlefield Bad Company 2? well BFBC2 sold over like 6 million units so it managed to do a respectable amount considering. Alot of the press think that BFBC2 is the better game and the best mutliplayer shooter to come out last year. Frankly IMO the only thing that allowed COD to get so big in the first place was DICE taking so long with BF3 and neglecting the consoles for so long.

Napalm Frog Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The most logical assumption of BF3 is one I came across on the BC2 forums. BF3 will most likely share a lot of mechanics of BC2, but stuff like the upgrade system and other non-in-game mechanics would be in the vein of BF2. I have to admit I jumped straight from BF1942 to BC2, so I can't make any personal opinions. But BC2 was a pretty solid game (aside from horrendous net code), and I would not mind at all if BF3 did end up borrowing heavily. As long as the game stays away from being a CoD clone. I'm sick of that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xero Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I've always loved the Battlefield franchise over Call of Duty or even Medal of Honor. Just something different about it that I really like. Looking forward to the next game. My wish is a more realistic environment and even more destruction. Maybe more player classes would be nice. While I think people get these games for online only. I hope they put more effort into the single player campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJohnSmitherson Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Can't wait to play it!!!! The graphics will be better than BC2, which is already amazing! They shouldn't have done a singleplayer. We don't need it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh I'm old. While I tend to agree, 90% of the time I also prefer a solid SP experience, when BF is the game, to me it is what MP is all about, and the SP detracts from what the game is truly about. Through the release of 2142, BF was always about the MP, and it showed. While I thoroughly do enjoy the MP of BC2, the addition of a SP experience has no doubt detracted from the overall MP experience. For a series to get dumbed down over time is just ass backwards, yet BF has managed to do just that, and while it is still solid, BF2 is still the best of the series, at least IMO. Also you may want to try playing it on the PC, no screaming 10 yr olds whatsoever, at least in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't changed my desktop in years and I finally found a wallpaper besides my default(a central view of the golden temple, at night, its beautiful) to replace my desktop for awhile. Atleast until the game comes out. You my man, have done a very good job. Ontopic; I agree with Dirty. BF has ALWAYS been about Multiplayer. The single player i really dont think takes away because i jumped straight to BC2 Online. I dont generally play Single Player when theres Multiplayer available and most FPS's have multiplayer so me seeing the single player is rare. Anyway, Im hoping this is BF2 but frostbite graphics, I will be in heaven and I will find my next 2-3 years worth of good quality PC gaming if thats the case!

Either do a single player right, or don't do it at all if it's going to make the multiplayer worse. The Bad Company games weren't horrible in singleplayer, but they just weren't very good, and there was no point to do them, really. If they can make a good singleplayer campaign, then by all means, do it... but don't forget about the multiplayer. Same thing happens with the inverse a lot of times: adding multiplayer and making the singleplayer worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGar Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Bad Company 2 bent Call of Duty over and spanked it, I can only imagine how much more amazing BF3 will be, I am so psyched. That artwork is phenomenal btw, it takes BC2's logo and then tears ass around the yard with nitrous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
