Battlefield 3

Apologies if this has already been posted; did a quick search and didn't see anything so here goes.

I've been emailed these links at least 1/2 a dozen times today, but can't access youtube at work.

Sniping in BF3 seen here:

Another trailer:

The sniping video must be amazing judging from how many folks have sent me that link at work. I get the feeling all the Modern Warfare folks might be hopping ship if this lives up to its hype!

Looks damn good !!

**Fireman32** · 03-16-2011 05:05 PM

I want this game!!!!

**PrazVT** · 03-16-2011 05:16 PM

Wow. That looks awesome!

**Demiurge** · 03-16-2011 05:53 PM

Pre-ordered this last week from Amazon. Frostbite 2 engine looks delicious.

**jflail2** · 03-16-2011 06:01 PM

WOW. Finally got to check this out at home; WAY slick.

I just hope the multi is also that good...

And the language in the vids above is NSFW for those that care.

**Face** · 03-16-2011 06:48 PM

I'll be buying this.

**Demiurge** · 03-16-2011 07:18 PM

Watching it in full HD, wow...even better. That engine is crazy good.

One thing, that sniper is horrible.

I bet this game wont look so cool on the xbox and ps3

**epplebee** · 03-16-2011 08:45 PM

Trailers look awesome, may just have to pick that one up

doesnt bother me at all, the battlefield series was never about the best looks anyway, it was about gameplay.

Battlefield Bad Co. 2 used the frostbite engine, which is frikkin awesome. I believe this is the first game with Frostbite 2.0 if graphics take a small hit when product hits the shelves, I could hardly care.

I'll be picking this game up as well, probably during the first week of release :)
I just hope that it's more like BF2 rather than BF:BC2.

**Zeros** · 03-17-2011 11:48 AM

I am also considering picking this up, but is this correct:

Release Date: December 31, 2011

That seems like forever away

The BF3 website says: Release Date: Fall 2011

At least Fall is better than December I guess

**PrazVT** · 03-17-2011 09:32 PM

Hmm...PC or console...

Same here... I loved BF2 and BF2142 even more. I only moved away from PC FPS games when I started playing games like Killzone 2 and COD MW2 on the PS3 / 360.

Praz, Zeros, you guys better get this one! No more Lag of Duty!

I missed BF2:BC Ultimate edition for $16 today from the EA store. Kinda pissed about that.

that's what I'm thinking for this one...

**JimAckley** · 03-18-2011 03:56 AM

360! I don't wanna build another PC just for a game

By the time this game gets released, that might be exactly what i do.

**blehmbo** · 03-18-2011 10:26 AM

the thought of using a controller for an FPS makes me cringe ;) but to each his own..

I've tried console controllers with shooters. It sucks doesn't begin to describe how horrible the experience is. On the other hand, I was able to play the Crysis 2 demo on the current box, which is several years old, so another year may end up going by without an upgrade.

**ohskigod** · 03-20-2011 03:15 PM

it's a preference thing. I tried the pc route for shooters and it drove me nuts. I prefer the controller but I know if your used to PC going to controller is a pain in the ass. I definitely get that. it's all about what you like.

**Sami** · 03-21-2011 04:04 AM

Got the pre-order in as soon as it was available. This will be more like BF2 rather than BF:BC2. 64 player maps, prone, decent helicopters and most importantly JETS!!!

**ohskigod** · 03-30-2011 09:45 PM

Call of .......... what was that again? hahahaha

**PrazVT** · 03-31-2011 12:25 AM

Jets?! Awesome, now I can pull out my flight stick that I used w/ BF2!! lol. Plus I need to use my computer for something other than video encoding. :)

And on that note, I have pre-ordered my copy as well!

So, we are going to the PC for this? I need to know before I pre-order!

To be fair, Modern Warfare 3 is on the way and we haven't seen it yet. I may be getting that one, too. I'm just glad for the good competition and hope more studios get involved in it. Should make for a better product in the long run.

Preordered my Battlefield 3 for the 360 on day 1, though.

Kind of glad its not coming out until Nov/Dec.
