It is very pretty, I hope those are in game and not pre-rendered.
 
If that is game play.............. (Crys) ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Judging from what I've been hearing about the Frostbite 2 engine, I'll venture are guess that those shot are engine rendered at the very least. Possibly in game.

Here is a tech demo for the engine:

Frostbite 2 engine is pretty amazing, BC2 is a great looking game. Also I noticed 31 rounds in that M4, chambered rounds ftw, first in the BC series.
 
Yea it really looks awesome... god whens gameinformer gonna get here!!!

And for the record Blackhawk, its the Battlefield series, Its not Bad Company 3 its Battle field 3 :p

ohmygosh it looks amazing.
I've been waiting for this since BF2, I hope it's as good as it looks.

My guess is that these are are early development screenshots. They are subject to change (they will most likely be MUCH better as time progresses).
 
I Hope the game play wont be another CoD clone, I've been having issues finding a shooter that isn't lately.... So, heres hoping.

How could it be? CoD, IMHO, borrowed a lot of ideals from the foundations of the Battlefield and MOH games.

And then turned them into utter crap. Hence, please don't let BF3 fail as COD does.

Also, please, please let PR come to BF3.

Yeah, I agree. Whether this is the full game or not, this looks promising. It's taken them long enough, about 6 years since BF2 was first released -_-
But, I'll stop trollin', it still looks insane.

If DICE is coming out with a numbered Battlefield game then there is pretty much no way it will be bad. A six year is way to long for a company like DICE to come out with anything less than amazing.

I was referring to the engine used, not the game :P
 
Prepare for overload and an intense desire to pre-purchase the game and get involved with the beta ASAP.


For the full GameInformer article posted by a BC2 member:
  • Aiming for CY Q4 2011 release
  • Concept for BF3 has been in the works for years, waiting on proper tech to seamlessly come together
  • Frostbite 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 Single-Player
  • 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.
  • "F**k" will be used often, so M rates for sure
  • 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?
