im more or less a battlefield nub (all my experience is with bc2). is this gonna be more like the ol school battlefields games than bad company 2? cause from what i gathered bad company 2 is pretty different then the older ones (ie the game scale is a smaller and less people and it's more infantry oriented then it is vehicule oriented)...

BF3 will have 64 players and large maps (on pc, consoles will have 24 players and smaller maps). Not a lot has been revealed regarding vehicles yet.

Think of it as a combination of Battlefield 2 and Bad Company 2. It'll feature the large maps and variety of vehicles in BF2 as well as the changes they made to BC2 (4 classes instead of 7 and lack of commander + jets).

oh they killed the jets int his one? i remember we would play the old battlefield games in school and the guys who were good would own everyone in jets. pretty annoying... i might skip on this one is the case. i'm not that big fan of fps with a lot of vehicule warfare. it drives me nuts alone when people do it in bad company 2.

and aren't the planning on launching this close to the release date of modern warfare 3? they tried that once with medal of honor and lost badly...

No, this will still have jets.

That was an error on my part. Battlefield 3 will definitely feature jets. It won't feature a commander though but that could change closer to the game's release date.

These screenshots and these trailers have been blowing my mind away lately. I really can't wait for this game! :D

I hope Call of Duty makes some improvements to their graphics engine as well. Maybe it's just me, but the graphics on Call of Duty seem outdated compared to other games.

Very doubtful that will happen anytime even remotely soon. And it's not just you, the Call of Duty engine is very outdated in terms of abilities, factually speaking.

It looks outdated because the engine they're using is outdated. It dates as far back as the first Call of Duty game... and farther. Frostbite 2 is probably based on Frostbite 1 but in its current form, it has a lot of modern features (with full DX11 support for the PC version). In fact, you won't be able to play Battlefield 3 on Windows XP because the engine doesn't support DX9. It's a trend that should be followed by other developers.

Liked too, but they're miles away from that. They're not even at half a million yet. :( When is the full trailer supposed to be released, anyway?

They're at about 560,000 as opposed to about 450,000 last Friday when I checked. The way 'likes' are published and the ease of liking something will expedite the process. I think it comes out the 17th.

I think it's safe to say that it won't reach 1,000,000 likes by the 17th. Oh well, at least they offered us a chance to see it early.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
