Ive watched it 4 more times...I can't remember the last time I've been this excited for a shooter.

**Dylon** · 2011-03-02 03:01

lol me too, and every time i watch the sniper scene it gives me chills at how much it sounds and feels like a sniper shot. and the RPG shot at the end is so epic, the next video cant come soon enough, let alone the fuckin game. im happy to say that technology has finally caught up to our imagination

**Elvis** · 2011-03-02 03:54

it seriously looks as good as that russian game whose name im blanking on. the movement and everything is so fluid. at first I thought it was live action

Brings me back to how I felt for Halo 2 when I was in 8th grade.

My pants (fuck you Qbert) are now sticky.

Also I'd pretty much give Kyo a handie for an hour with this game. Just sayin'

**Kyo** · 2011-03-02 08:50

What I have played thus far has been pretty amazing.

Not that big on the SP footage. I was hoping for something a little more open like GRAW was on the PC, rather than having to take the one route to the objective the game wants you to.

Can't wait to see how multiplayer fares though.

I came..

This game is going to destroy Call of Duty in every way possible. Oh the sweet taste of fanboy tears to come.

Words cannot describe......

I was really worried when I saw this was coming out on consoles, but holy shit does that trailer look good. I thought it was a prerendered cutscene at first. Even if it was scripted movements and whatnot, it still looked amazing.

Battlefield 3 Can Take Up to 256 Players

Talking in an interview with Atomic MPC, DICE CEO Patrick Söderlund shared some new info on the upcoming Battlefield 3, particularly the PC version of the game. Most interesting is the part where he discusses the maximum number of players the game can handle:

"A lot of people ask us about 64 versus 128 or 256 players. Technically, we can go to 256, we’ve tried it," claims Söderlund.
"We play tested with 128. You’ve got to make a game that’s fun to play. And, arguably, we think that the most fun you can have is when it’s between 32 and 40 players. And we’ve done substantial research into this and tested 128 and that it’s not fun. Maybe we haven't done our design work good enough, but we just feel like there's no point in going higher than 64."

Good news for PC gamers, as the latest Battlefield game released on the PC, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, was scaled down for its multiplatform release.

Additionally, Söderlund spoke a bit about the single player campaign and how it's taking things more seriously then the previous entries in the series.

"I think telling a story is obviously important but I think we have a lot to gain from having people that you care about in the game, that have personality that, y’know, some of them you’re gonna not like some of them you’re gonna like. And that’s the whole idea."

"We want the characters to feel personal; we want them to have these ironic jokes between each other but not maybe as goofy as Bad Company was in some places. This will feel a lot more serious and more real."

Söderlund also revealed some bits about the destructible structures and environment show in the Battlefield 3 gameplay video shown at GDC.

"So if an earthquake—I don’t know if you could see—but you saw the ground crumble and crack and you saw it lifted up and we couldn’t do that in Bad Company 2. But this engine allows us to do those kinds of things. So if there’s a gigantic bomb that hits somewhere, you want to see that affecting the ground as well as the surroundings around it and buildings and all that stuff. And then you start playing in that environment and you realise how much you can destroy."

Battlefield 3 should be available at the end of 2011 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

just happy that PC is primary!

I have no clue how porting the game to the 360 at that quality is going to be possible. Going to need to have 1 disc for SP and 1 for MP or something along those lines.

**SubzeroDiabolos** · 2011-03-15 13:40

I was watching that vid, drooling, and then it hit me. I probably can't even run it at high quality D: Shit by the look of it not even sure medium would work. Can't wait for spec release.
