I didn’t want to summarize the whole article until I found out if anybody else was doing it. I was really ill today and simply posted these per request by Luke. Id be glad to write up a preview. The article has almost every single detail anybody would like to know about it. MP details etc etc
Dude, to me, you are jesus right now. You hold the information that i have been searching for for months. post it up please please please!!! i love you! your the coolest person ever! do you realize that you are like, the only person in the world who has the HOLY GRAIL of gaming? (at least to a bf fan)
I really am happy to see Urban Warfare, you see it in games liek COD, and stuff and killzone, but the building aren’t destructable. Seeing as to how BC2 was I was really happy, and this just really blows my mind. I am upset that it is coming out right after Resistance 3 and close to Uncharted 3 and Batman Arkam City. I really hope i get the job this summer and am able to purchase the games. But that also means that I have to split me time between the games, and I am gunning for the top 10 players in kills for Resistance 3. So this is going to be hard, I was ranked 100 for a while in R2, never made it farther overall. Was ranked 1st in Meltdown for a week, thats it. ):
hey beastxjason, idk if you realize this but youve got a couple thousand people waiting for you to put up full scans of the bf3 game article. could you do that?
If GameInformer contacts us to take the images down, we must comply, so posting entire pages, let alone what we have posted here, is a bit of a risk on our end
Here’s info from the link BFan posted:
Aiming for CY Q4 2011 release
Concept for BF3 has been in the works for years, waiting on proper tech to seamlessly come together
Frosbite 2.0 is the culmination of this tech, entirely re-written
Lighting sounds neat, one “probe” contains more lighting information than an entire BFBC2 level.
Level destruction is going to be “believable” but basically everything is destructible.
Character animations powered by ANT, what EA Sports uses.
AI characters and multiplayer characters have different animation sets
No more “gliding” animations that look off, animation realism is a focus
Captured their own war audios (bullets, tanks, helicopters, etc) at different distances to ensure realism
Better audio cues for certain actions, more easily able to listen for threats
Plan on better, more immediate post release content
More unlocks than BFBC2
Dice trying to find a good balance between customization of your character and not having “pink rabbit hat(s)”
4 classes
Will talk about squads “later”
Looking into a theater mode but can’t talk about it
Will have co-op
There will be a kill-cam but it can be turned off
BF3′s team is almost twice as big as the team for BFBC2
They want the pacing of the single player mode to be balanced, with highs and lows. Makes the comparison to a song vs a guitar solo.
Part of the single player mode takes place in Sulaymaniyah – Iraqi Kurdistan.
“****” will be used often, so M rated for sure
There will be an earthquake in a level. The destruction sounds very impressive. 7 story building collapses, looks very well done
Significant narrative that goes with the SP mode
More than one setting, you’re not in the middle east for the whole game
PC version is lead version
Why 64 players for PC only? No complains from the console crowd.
No mod tools at release. Maybe none down the line either. Frosbite 2.0 is complex and mods tools would have to be dumbed down, so does Dice really want to put their time to that or would it be better spent elsewhere?

Luke: hey beastxjason, idk if you realize this but youve got a couple thousand people waiting for you to put up full scans of the bf3 game article.could you do that?
What is pictured isn’t even a small piece of the huge spread. I recommend you go out to gamestop and pick up a copy of the gameinformer. You can also subscribe via their site http://www.gameinformer.com/p/subscribe.aspx You can also stay tuned to the blog and wait for all the details to break. I think Jay gave enough info via Bfan in the comment above to hold you over. Thanks for looking. Were looking forward to BF3 and the info is just now coming out.
It’s either directx 11/12 (which no console supports), or a fake leak of a cinematic to generate buzz. It’s funny how the guns clearly have 10000000000 less polygons than the background.

Thanks for those. I don’t get GI where I live and I wanted to see the screenshots. They look target renders more than anything else to me.
Anyway, again, really thankful for those pictures.
