Battlefield 3 (Official Thread)

^lol

Darwin award for that guy

 

That trailer has some of the best looking visuals I've laid eyes on. I mean, just click on the link/screengrab below:

Looks like flippin real life at first glance!

 

oh...myy...goddddddddddd stop teasing me.. wtf this video is epic, can you guys imagine 32vs 32 ? wow.. jets flying, people calling medic, tanks rolling, bullets flying , sound and effect.. damn.. :bang: cant waittt

 

He is doing it right actually. It's an illumination round.

 

Please start the beta this weekend or next week... pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

So, the mortars are not BC2 style.

You can get a leg up from team mates? Bring back the old grapplin' hook, too.

 

Thats the singleplayer campaign. Those are all scripted events you won't see in MP (I guess you know this but your post indicated otherwise)

Also 60 fps streaming goodness:

did anyone post blog 10?

I liked this paragraph

We're making a different game than we've ever made before. It's scary. It's bigger in scale and bigger in drama. The tone hits closer to home, is tougher and more raw than we've ever done before. But the values, I think, caring about the people next to you, the people you meet, the people you play. That's a constant for us.

 

Wow quite scary that you actually see that guy getting INCINERATED by the explosion!

 

Anybody know how early access to the beta works? I have MoH Tier 1 edition and it says I will get early access but that's about as much information as it gives. Will EA send out an email to the address I have linked to my EA account?

Thanks for this post. About time they reward the guy flying the transport choppers, unlike weak bc2 where you just got kill assists. I hope they still have generic commands like bf2 so you can tell people to bail when you are gonna crash it

 

If this screen is real (dont know if it is) we could see 2 maps for beta! Fingers crossed!

 

uh, couldnt that just be from the closed Alpha?

 

Closed alpha didnt have most of that stuff. Again, it could be possible the pic is a fake.

 

That's pretty legit looking if it is a fake. Maybe the beta release is close?

 

I hope so!!!

 

it's been announced already. sept. 27 for closed and sept. 29 for open.

 

New game play videos! form xbox360, not amazing quality but loads of new stuff including sp jet game play :3
