official Battlefield 3

[S00N3R FR3AK]

While I would love for the graphics to be maxed on my PC I rather play toned down in 64MP matches then go to 24 on my PS3. 64 person is way more important to me then graphics, I could play on bottom settings and be happy.

Not sure if this has been already posted but I had some serious lols and flashbacks to hearing about Jurassic Park 4 due to the picture.

Seems Christina Coffin is pretty talented with Photoshop as well.

That doesn't bother me, wasn't it the same with BC2? I love that on console so.. don't see how less players can affect gameplay really, just the situations you find yourself in, not the handling.

Like I said, I'd love it on PC, but for the sake of saving ?850 on a console instead of a rig able to play it, then I'm OK.

BC2 was 24 players on console, 32 on pc. BF3 is 24 on console, 64 on pc.

There is no question at all, or there shouldn't be any, that the PC version will look the best. It's got the better hardware and it's all 100% DX11, something the consoles just can't get close to. It'll still look good on them though, relative to what they can do with what they have.

Doubt it's because of the Jurassic Park reboot. I think it's all about this: http://i.imgur.com/xkvwS.png

Battlefield 3 co-op campaign supports 2 players, has 10 maps

Now that E3 is over and done with, EA and DICE have shown plenty from both Battlefield 3?s single- and multiplayer components. But one thing they?ve yet to properly talk about is the new cooperative mode.

We?ve known that the game will ship with a co-op campaign since its initial reveal back in February, but details thus far have been all but non-existent. Executive producer Patrick Bach has changed that, even if just to the smallest extent.

According to Bach, who was speaking in the latest issue of PSM3, the dedicated co-op mode includes ten maps and are designed for two players. Sadly, that?s all the details the mag could squeeze out of the man, so expect a proper reveal somewhere down the line.

Battlefield 3 will ship in October, with a preceding beta happening in September.

I really hope this isn't an exclusive feature of the console version like Onslaught mode for Bad Company 2.

So there is a single player campaign, multi-player, and a separate 10 mission co-op? Or is co-op like different 'offline' modes with a friend?

It won't be an offline mode since it's cooperative, but whether it's a part of the main campaign is unclear. I'm guessing it's a separate mini campaign that can be played with 2 players. Hopefully, it won't be an exclusive feature of the console version.

I did beta testing for AAO and played almost exclusively as a sniper. I'm really glad pron is finally back. It could get really crazy with too many vantage points in buildings which will result in demolitions taking down every building in sight. No matter, I can hide well in rubble too.

[Crisp]

Only 2? Considering the squad system, I was expecting co-op mode with 4.

Yeah that would have been great but I think its 10 missions for 2 players similar to that spec ops mode in Call of Duty:MW1&2

I wish it would be a separate campaign; but sadly you're more than likely correct and the '10 maps' part is why.

[PixilEyes]

I'd like to see some min. system requirements by now.

I would venture to say along the Crysis 2 DX11 range from what I have seen but that's just my opinion ;)

That would be nice to see a min requirement like that but unlikely considering EA is greedy and will make sure you can still play the game on Windows XP with a 8xxx series or equal video card.

It's already been stated multiple times that Frostbite 2.0 (the engine that BF3 will run on) only supports DX10 and DX11 and NOT DX9. No DX9 means no Windows XP support. Only Windows Vista and upwards.

Someone has to force those people to move to a newer OS. :whistle:

- Players will receive squad bonus points for helping the squad, much like in Bad Company 2.

- Players will receive bonus points for killing the opponent squad leader

Alan Kertz, Senior Gameplay Designer for Battlefield 3 has been busy sharing some information about the game with fans again.

One fan asked if Scouts would be able to wear Ghillie suits in the game, it appears they won't.

"No guillie suits. Yes they use them, were focused in different direction."

Kertz also mentioned that Scouts will be getting more tools than ever before in Battlefield 3 which is good news for fans of the sniper rifle.

"Recon is about being Sniper and Scout. More Scout tools than ever."

[gkl]

Lookin good!

[DrJohnSmitherson]

I'm glad there are no gillie suits. Maybe that will encourage people to stop being a god damn sniper.
