Battlefield 3 E3 Content Revealed, Battlelog (Free Bungie.net Like)


Recommended Posts

E3 2011 in Los Angeles is only a few days away and there is a lot of excitement in the air. We are thrilled to be at the expo to show you Battlefield 3! We are currently putting the final touches on our demo - testing, tweaking, and in general, creating a game that?s looking amazing. I?m very happy and proud of what our DICE team has accomplished and what we?ll be unveiling to the world at E3.

Following our Battlefield 3 announcement earlier this spring, a lot of you have asked us for more info on multiplayer. Well, wait no further ? we will be showing both single player and multiplayer gameplay at E3! You can expect new trailers and screenshots as well as in-depth press previews hitting next week. You can also watch the EA press conference live on EA.com on Monday.

So what can you expect from the Battlefield 3 multiplayer? Powered by the Frostbite 2 engine, Battlefield 3 features some of the biggest and most spectacular maps that we have built. At the same time, we are also able to create more intense close-quarter combat than ever before. The multiplayer map, ?Operation M?tro,? available for press to play on the show floor, combines both sides of the scale into one cohesive experience. Gamers will experience a physical battlefield and be able to temporarily disable vehicles, go prone, mount weapons, lay down suppressive fire and more. Under the hood, the brand-new engine ensures cutting-edge visuals and immersion. All things combined, big and small, add up to the best Battlefield game we have ever created!

Of course there are things we will not be showing at E3, including the game?s extensive co-op campaign, the introduction of Team Death Match mode and the Battlefield 3 Battlelog web destination ? featuring powerful social tools, feeds and detailed player stats. Battlelog also lets you manage your friends lists, squad up, create platoons, use voice chat and follow your friends? progress in real-time, and more. Battlelog will be available for the monthly fee of (drum roll)... zero dollars. We look forward to providing more information on these features in the near future!

Sounds great but I'm still a little uneasy on making such a graphical game but keep the same "Rag doll" fun effect of the game and not some how or another give it a COD feel. If they keep stats and ranks off it, the game would be even better as it was in 1942 and Vietnam while giving the mod community a leg up.

(Y) Great news all-around. Co-op, stat tracking, all of it.

Good-bye, Call of Duty.

Agreed. I knew they'd come up with a free alternative to "Elite". I can't wait to see some MP gameplay.

Sounds great and I am looking forward to the game, it looks amazing! I love thee Frostbite engine :woot: Looks to be CoD killer for sure, I just hope they fix it to where the bullets are more like bullets and not paintballs. Seems like it take 1-2 clips to kill someone online and about the same for single player, vehicles such as tanks should be a lot stronger to. Mind you I have not played the newest BF game, the last one I played was BFBC1 and 1943. I will be picking this and CoD up for sure :cool:

I don't care about CoD or BF series but DAMN! Do I want to get BF3! The ANT technology behind their animations is really paying off. The animations look amazing. if it wasn't for that small detail I probably wouldn't like it. It's a really small detail that's a big deal for me for some reason. I've always always always hated jerky animations. But this so realistic in that aspect, I love it!

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.

    • Good think I still have SDRAM and FP RAM sitting around.

Heart rate is recorded every second during exercise tracking and every five seconds during normal daily use. The device requires the Google Health app for setup and synchronisation.

Moreover, the included Infinity band is made from a flexible silicone material and features a loop-and-peg fastening.
