Have a look at this guys: Quick peek of what we're cooking up for #bf3ak. Nice view, right?

Finally, snow in Battlefield 3! :D

Are you sure that's not sand instead of snow? Could be either unless they have specifically said it was snow. Either way that's a nice looking screen shot.

I-.. what? That's snow good sir...

He's right though. I've seen the map on the Machinima Live Feed of E3 and it looked more like sand than snow. Though I'm hoping it's snow. IF it's snow, then all we need besides snow maps are jungle maps. The jungle map in MoH: Warfighter looked awesome. It gave me that BC2 feeling tbh.

Yeah I watched that vid and it was deff sand...plus if it was snow surely it'd be on the tops of the mountains not in the valleys...rather bad level design if it is snow.

Not that DICE would say if they were or weren't working on BF4 yet, but...

Battlefield 4 exists only in the hearts and minds of our devotees, for the time being. ^LA

Although I think it's safe to say they will be working on BF4 and it's just a question of when and not if. I also hope it will be different than a modern military shooter.

Server / Gameplay downtime on July 18th

We will be rolling out an extensive upgrade to our game servers on july 18th. Unfortunately, in order to upgrade we will need to take them offline for a short amount of time.

What this means for you is that all online services - including multiplayer - will be down across all games and platforms beginning July 18th at 10pm PDT for about two hours.

Players will not be able to log-in to their games during this time, and those currently in-game may be affected as well.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

I'm not sure how I feel about the ac-130. I can see it easily unbalancing game play. If your side gets in it and also has awesome jet pilots to keep the other sides fighters off it that will be a whole lot of not fun for people on the ground. On the other hand, if the ac-130 dies if you merely sneeze in it's direction then it won't even be worth using. It will be like a hummer with turbo props, a flying death trap. I don't have much faith in DICE getting it's balance right.

As for BF4... I doubt that we'll be seeing it any time soon. End of 2013 at the soonest would be my guess. I think I'm okay with a new Battlefield game every 2 years though. Although I'm still hoping we'll see Bad Company 3 first.

Trailer looks good. Bit disappointed about Battlefield 4 though. I don't see how there can be much improvement in 2 years as opposed to the BF2 - BF3 timeframe.

Well, I don't think they need too long. I mean, BF3 is pretty decent as it is. A single player that's actually more fun would be nice though, but not something I'm really expecting from them seeing as I don't play BF for the story line.

There's improvements to be made sure, but I don't think there's anything about the multiplayer that needs an incredible amount of change or anything.

Managed to get my hands on the 60FPS 1080p trailer floating around. Here's what I found interesting...

No idea what this contraption is. Looks like a noobus-maximus. No doubt an noob's wet-dream. You'll also notice that the mini-map now displays the flag letters on the icons!

Looks like some sort of super-tank (M1/US variant) with an extinguisher!

The super-tank (T90/RU variant) with armour-plating on the front! :smashin: And as the kill-feed reveals it's a Sprut-SD.

Click on the pictures for bigger versions :thumbsup:

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
