Visually, Battlefield 3′s art has the same vibe present in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and its Vietnam expansion, but it’s the decimated environments that may offer the biggest clues to the next Battlefield game’s big selling point. GI mentions a few new technical features, including animation techniques borrowed from the EA Sports guys and an “exponential leap in destructibility.”
Keep an eye peeled tomorrow for the first teaser for the upcoming PS3, Xbox 360 and PC game.

Friday, February 4, 2011 at 11:56 AMwas really keen for this game when it was going to be a PC exclusive but not anymore now its going to be crappy since they will just want a quick buck and it will be just as buggy as bfbc2
EA accountants need to quit.

Friday, February 4, 2011 at 1:25 PMWas it ever going to be a PC exclusive?
I think you need to relax man, sure when games are also out on console the generall quality goes down, but compare BF2 and BF2 on xbox. They were almost completely different games. The case will be the same for BF3. They won’t try and port the PC version over to the console because it’s a completely different experience.
You will have your dedicated PC experience and then your console experience. Lighten up man. It will still be fun nevertheless.

Friday, February 4, 2011 at 12:14 PMBeen loving BC2 online for months now, so I’m very keen for this. Haven’t touched a COD game since I started playing BC2!
But for the love of god, make it less bug-ridden than BC2. I can’t remember the last time I got through an entire session of BC2 online without having to restart my console at least once.
And I can’t believe that the game has been out for this long and they STILL can’t fix the bug that sometimes tell you you won when you actually lost or vice versa. How hard is it to figure out if a player was on the winning or losing side and then inform them of the fact? You can still tell by looking at the actual animation that gets displayed, but something as fundamental as displaying the correct text message on screen should be a no-brainer.

Friday, February 4, 2011 at 5:38 PMI don’t think a Kotaku article heading has ever excited me as much as this…
SO. PUMPED.
Let’s just hope it’s a true sequel to Battlefield 2, rather than a sequel to Bad Company 2.

Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 1:16 PMJudging by that art work and that supposed game cover – DICE are just using Copy & Paste.
I don’t understand the whole Bad Company then Bad Company 2 which was different to the first so not much of a sequel NOW Battlefield 3 which isn’t a Bad Company game yet seems to be looking more like Bad Company 2. Hmmm
