TOP EDIT: Here's the full article.

Looks pretty good and much better than BC2. Also shit blows up well.

Massive Cities, with buildings that blow up! :D

I'm really liking the smoke from that second pic.

#3 Posted by Fripplebubby (1027 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

The bottom picture looks like a map from Battlefield- Play4Free. Thus, I have played that map.

im not sure what to think

#5 Posted by Meteora (5783 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Looks pretty sweet, but they're prints so we can't quite comment too much on how it really looks. =/

futureshop.ca isn't even convinced BF3 will be any different to a BF:BC3...

#8 Posted by KaosAngel (13766 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

@LiquidS: ...would be funny if at E3 DICE says that BF3 is going to be BC3, and that the proper BF3 will be out for the PS4 and Xbox 3.

Looks like they are using that shitty MOH engine.

That's what the hud would lead you to believe.

#12 Posted by gamb1t (964 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

im just truely waiting for to see gameplay footage of jets/choppers/tanks.

that and see if commander role is coming back (one of the major points of the game)

until then who cares cause we already know what battlefield is all about and BC2 looks good enough for me so i wont be disappointed with BF3

#13 Posted by BabyChooChoo (3579 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Definitely building a new rig for this.

Not that I have much of a choice though...

#14 Posted by SammydesinasNL (840 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

It really looks like Medal of Honor.

#15 Posted by RsistncE (4496 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

It's too hard to really say anything about the game from these pics. WANT IN GAME TRAILER.

Its a modern war game. So was Medal of Honor. What extreme differences are you expecting? They are on different engines and I don't recall any cities in MOH.

Edit: The HUD though is pretty similar I'll give you that.

Edit Edit: Oh balls, I just remembered MOH multiplayer was on frostbite.

Edit Edit Edit: I should stop editing posts.

#18 Posted by niamahai (1383 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

ITS BECAUSE MOH WAS DONE USING THE SAME BF:BC ENGINE!!!111!!!11!

AND THAT ENGINE HAD REALLY GREAT GUN NOISE!

ok. i'm done.

And the smoke and the lighting and the guns and the models.

#20 Posted by mordukai (7001 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

@KaosAngel: Planning on building a gaming PC next year so I might get it for it. Just like BC2 was a console oriented game ported to PC this sounds a PC game ported to consoles.

#21 Edited by RandomInternetUser (6779 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

That looks fucking great. I'm building a new rig in two weeks for 1.2 grand. Kinda thinking about throwing in 200 dollars more worth of upgrades to make sure I can run this on max now... I would be terribly dissappointed to have to settle for medium.

Edit: Of course the month with this in GameInformer is the month my subscription ran out >.>

You guys gotta stop making assumptions. Remember what happened with Skyrim?

You guys:
"This is obviously still Gamebyro.."
1 week later
Bethesda:
"All new engine!"

#23 Edited by Seppli (7686 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

What are those white ballz in that picture? Clipping through shit? Is that some kind of lighting 'probe' image? I don't understand...

Other than that I'm digging the microdestruction on the building. Sweet. And it's an effin city! Niiiice!

I can't fucking wait for this game. Looks sweet.

We know its an all new engine, also all of that speculation was before any screen shots got out.

No it wasn't it was in the thread with screenshots.

Nice to see some better gun models. Really looking forward to this one!

#28 Posted by Milkman (13985 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

I sincerely hope the singleplayer is more like MoH than BC2. The authenticity of MoH campaign really made it stand out to me (and others, reading over the NeoGAF thread) despite some shortcomings in the polish sector.

We're going to need better computers....

Um no. Skyrim went like this:
Bethesda-"modified engine"
us-"same engine"
Bethesda-"new engine, forget that interview"
you-"stop making assumptions"

#33 Posted by JJOR64 (18123 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Hot and sexy.

#34 Posted by MechaDestroyer (40 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

A lot of people are being apprehensive on this one. It looks fine from what little we've seen. Still want to see some in-game footage before saying anything more. MoH sucked, but Battlefield is DICE's baby so I don't think we'll see CoD Lite or anything.

#35 Posted by Dany (7877 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

None of you have seen this game run and you are dismissing it based on the LITTLEST of things.

#36 Edited by Nomin (870 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Speedsmoke is novel.
Are these shots before destructive env, or after?
Imo, any engine can be construed a new one were it to have just underwent some modifications in the way of evolving on the last platform. It helps hype.

I'd advise others not to build computers to anticipate any release of a game until the game in question is actually released. Or wait at least until April or so when I hear Intel will be back with fixed Sandybridge mobos.

#37 Posted by withateethuh (726 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

I'm happy that the models are looking more realistic and proportional. Sorta bugged me a little in BC2.

#38 Posted by fugie7 (1103 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

looks amazing! can't wait to get the issue of the magazine so i can read all about the game.

#39 Posted by NoRemnants (304 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

This is not running on the same engine as MoH Multiplayer. In the PC Gamer article they have said that they have completely rewritten the Frostbite Engine for this game. (MoH Multi used Frostbite 1.5, this is using Frostbite 2.0)

#40 Posted by Rayfield (2098 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

GODDAMMIT WHO'S SPOTTING THOSE HUGE GODDAMN BALLS NOW LOOK WE'RE ALL DEAD NICE TEAMWORK ASSHOLES

#41 Posted by Bouke (1396 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Looks epic!

#42 Posted by Seppli (7686 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Last picture shows a littlebird chopper.

Here's me hoping that it will make it into MP. I LOOOVE the Little Bird chopper.

Yeah! I'll do nasty things with you baby!

Looked at a scan of the magazine. The destruction 3.0 and the lighting effects look nothing short of amazing.
Only thing I'm wondering when I look at the pictures is, will you be able to hide on the top floor of a three story building that you just completely open?
That's a shitload of geometry the engine need to render out!

It's probably still Gamebryo. Emergent Technologies, the company who makes Gamebryo, has gone under and their assets have been up for sale since the end of last year. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Zenimax bought the engine and retooled it themselves. Gamebryo was never a poor engine, just poorly used. It powers a lot of games and training software, it was just that the version used in Oblivion and Post Apocalyptic Oblivion with Guns was very old and hadn't been updated much at all.

Looks kinda like MoH?
Not sure that is a bad thing :)

#47 Posted by natetodamax (18927 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Looks like a modern shooter.

Actually, the MOH engine ran great and could look incredible on PC (not particularly great for rendering night scenes though). I thought it was a pretty decent tech effort all things considered.

This looks insane though - here's hoping that the fact that it's a cross platform project means that it's going to be well optimised. Don't have the most powerful of rigs on my end - enough to max out most mutltiplatform games at 1920x1080 but usually struggles with PC-centric stuff like Crysis or Empire: Total War.

ACTUALLY. The MOH multiplayer ran on the Frostbite engine so of course it has resemblances between them!

#50 Posted by Vitor (2662 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

@PhatSeeJay: I never played the MP side though - only ever beat the SP campaign which was UE3 I believe. Wouldn't be surprised if there were elements of that tech in this newest build though.

Battlefield 3

Battlefield 3 is DICE's third numerical installment in the Battlefield franchise. It features a single player and co-operative campaign, as well as an extensive multiplayer component.
