Man, here we ll have some serious "competition" ! hehehe well.. I know I suck at this kind of shooters, but for one time I think I ll dedicate myself to learn and improve. This game for what I see really deserve it.

GAME DESCRIPTION

Armed with the new Frostbite? 2 game engine and more than a decade of multiplayer expertise, the award-winning team at DICE is set to deliver their biggest and most accessible First Person Shooter (FPS) ever this October with Battlefield 3.

 

Frostbite 2 advances the state of the art, and serves as the power center that allows Battlefield 3 to deliver superior performance in character animation, visual rendering, audio and physical destruction. Battlefield 3 is the only FPS in the marketplace using Frostbite 2, and the only shooter capable of making the gameplay experience feel alive with all the sights, sounds and action of real-world incursions.

 

The new engine allows for massive multiplayer maps that move seamlessly between tight infantry combat to the series' signature open, sandbox vehicle warfare. Each map features a variety of environments demanding players to constantly re-evaluate the best combat tactics to deploy in order to win.

 

Battlefield 3's multiplayer offering is set to dominate this fall with enhanced persistence, new modes including Team Deathmatch and co-op, accessible team play and powerful and free online social features found via the games unique social network, Battlelog.

Ultimate Vehicle Warfare: The signature Battlefield vehicle warfare experience is even richer and more rewarding. Damaged vehicles can now retreat or be defended until they automatically regain armor, while disabled vehicles become static gun platforms to cover players doing repairs.

Personalized Dog Tags: Players can express their individuality with their own dog tag that gets displayed to defeated enemies. Players choose a design with a dynamically tracked in-game stat that expresses their personality and play-style.

 

The Physical Battlefield: Use the environment to your advantage. Deploy your machine gun bipods on any mountable surface for greater accuracy. Claim the dog tag of enemies via skillful knife takedowns. Lay down suppressive fire to limit the combat capabilities of enemies.

the game still has a limit to the playing field is it going to be tight flying jets around the battlefield just like in BF2. And will there be a count down time for out of battle? and are the maps 10X bigger for a nonlinear one way battles. I know it will not even come close to Arma in the wide open battle area's :-b

[GySgt~SPARTA~]

after reading the Multiplayer Facts I come to the conclusions that they really need to make the equipment more modern H@k models of weapons would be nice and Modern aircraft, its just starting to look more and more like a moded BF2 with a smoother look "EYE Candy for the Virgin Gamers"

You really can't compare it with the Arma Sim series, this is a main stream game, for fun and enjoyment.

 

 

BF2 sold over 1,000,000 copies

http://www.gamershell.com/news_23542.html

 

BC2 sold over 9,000,000+ copies

 

BF3 has over 1,000,000 on pre order.

http://bf3blog.com/2011/07/battlefield-3-pre-ordered-10-times-more-than-bad-company-2/

 

If they made it like Arma they would probably loose alot of sales, alot of players don't want a sim with it's over complex systems and procedures. Best of both worlds, if you want a simulation war title ARMA is the route.

 

Maybe a hybrid game moving closer to a sim but keeping the fluid gameplay of a main stream title.

Plus, American military doesn't use anything made by H&K. Idk about the Russians, but I'm sure most of their weaponry is their own. Of course DICE took some creative liberties with the available weapons, which ones to unlock, etc. You're basically just a Marine grunt on the front lines, with all the weapons that our special forces and force recon use as well. So, having lots of European weapons would be weird and out of place. Everything I've seen in the game looks pretty modern to me.

 

As for map size, I wouldn't get your hopes up for LOTS of big maps. The only gamemode that will likely have these big maps are the Conquest 64 maps. Name explains it all. However from what I remember about early reports, the old maps like Strike at Karkand, Sharqi Peninsula, Wake Island, etc have been revamped and some of them made bigger (both vertically and horizontally).

[Durka-Durka~SPARTA~]

Smallish maps can work great with infantry-only tactics. But not so much with helicopters, tanks, jets, UAVs, flying bodies, birds, ducks, squirrels, etc. There's always that fine line between too-big and too-small.

[GySgt~SPARTA~]

either way i'm still going to pre-order it and rebuild the the BF enjoyment. it will be fun because ill be doing it with Spartans and friends..
