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.

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.

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.

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.

Confirmed Details

- 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."

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
