teaser trailer leaked


(our) spring 2011


was due for official release tomorrow

[decap]

meh

[TofuEater]

Shite graphics.

[EnjoyTheSauce]

Looks more like a movie trailer

[Daddy Clin]

Sounds more like nine inch nails.

[Daddy Clin]

Which is great.

[BeNZene]

Sounds to me like the terminator salvation teaser/first trailer.

[.osiRiS]

We obv won't be wanting to host this game at all.

[Spork]

This thread depresses me.

[5tacK]

Love how they took footage from earlier titles to make this. Token.

[Zenith]

From Wiki (so it must be true)

Battlefield 3 will feature the maximalist combined arms battles that made the series popular across single-player, co-operative and multiplayer modes. It will reintroduce several elements removed from the console-oriented Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position, and (on PC only) 64-player battles.[2]
A new animation system will allow players to "drag fallen comrades into safety and mount weapons on almost any part of the terrain".[3] The destructible scenery of DICE's Frostbite engine will also be in use.
Locations
Maps set in Paris, Tehran and New York have been confirmed. As a whole the game will cover urban streets, metropolitan downtown areas, and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat.

I like the sound of urban combat in New york and Paris. Keen to do a "team America" and knock down the Eiffel tower with AT.

Fall is roughly Sept 21 to Dec 21 so I would read Fall 2011 as "Released in time for Xmas"
So I can hold off on a PC upgrade for another 9 or 10 months.

The good news is that the publisher has given a date (period) so it WILL be out. The bad news is it probably wont be finished when it is released- we will get the second beta with release day patch.

[deanox]

Maybe they will ask for pre-orders off pc users and then turn around and cancel it, lol

[Daddy Clin]

Sounds to me like the terminator salvation teaser/first trailer.

Guess who made the music for that trailer?

[Emrico1]

Trailer is cool I reckon, it doesn't reveal anything more than hype but geez, get on your editing software and make something more edgy. Go on.

[Daddy Clin]

I'm not normally negative, but the motion capture was awful...

[Emrico1]

lol comment from youtube

"Hmm... So who is this Pegi? Heard she was 18."

[kongkiwi]

Bet ya she is hot, most 18 year olds are hot, wish I was 18, wish I was hot

[Spacemonkey]

lol comment from youtube

"Hmm... So who is this Pegi? Heard she was 18."

Sound like the name of a porn model.

[Emrico1]

Pegi...

...Sue


I imagine there will be quite a lot more 'leaked' bf3 info to get us gamers all in a lather...

[Donkey]

Meh.

[Machpants]

... just Whoa, awesome in many ways. I am desperate to see some MP footage!

[Pyromanik]

Very CoD.

[Spigalau]

Very scripted

[private_hell]

Very scripted

it should be - it is code after all....

[.osiRiS]

Very scripted

Insert TF2 bots here

[Lias]

Scripted or not I'm still buying that motherfucker the day its available for pre order

[Pyromanik]

err, I think it already is.

[Emrico1]

loving the movement

[mattnz]

Very CoD.

They're both aiming for the same thing. Would you rather it be less realistic?

[5loth]

Just because they are aiming for realism doesn't mean they are necessarily pulling it off.

Arma is aiming for realism but plays very different to CoD/BF.

[mattnz]

Because it fails.

[Spigalau]

Just fleshing out my earlier response, proper BF titles (BF42, BFV, BF2) do not normally have a scripted single player mode - historically they tended to have single player campaigns where you played the same maps as in MP, but vs bot's etc. imho scripted single player games are for consoles.

[Meat2Potatos]

scripted single player games are for consoles.

Which is the biggest market for ea once all the porting to other platforms is done. (most consoles are never connected for online play)
Can't blame them for wanting to make some CoD style cash and it might be the difference in getting a BF4 or a BF2143 etc.
At least the platform it is being developed on is PC (i believe)

I think the movement and gfx in general looks good.

[Machpants]

^ I'm with M2P, MP only games just don't sell (still, even on PC) they have to put in an SP for sales. Also the movement and graphics look awesome for a pre-alpha at 720p

Single player campaigns where you play the same maps as in MP, but vs bot's, is not a single player campaign.


Imo, the single player gameplay in this videos looks awesome. Scripted gameplay is the only possible way to have a single player game, otherwise you're just playing multi-player with bots.

The Half-Life series is a great example of a single player FPS, and it was made for PC, not console.

I prefer a game where if I shoot a guy in the head, he dies.

[Codex]

I prefer a game where if I shoot a guy in the head, he dies.

You're playing the wrong series

[Kopfjaeger]

just watched the gameplay demo...SP correct ? so they went with dispersion instead of recoil. very purrdee and fluid

the devs seem to be putting a lot of effort into the SP AI, pointless imo as the Sp is only a distraction when the servers are down

[5loth]

I prefer a game where if I shoot a guy in the head, he dies.

BF2 didn't even have this.

As for ARMA, like it or not its the most realistic FPS out there.

[Spigalau]

Well at least we know the video was from PC:

http://iforce.co.nz/i/nvngorhh.rt1.jpg

But what gives with the onscreen training/instructions on what keys you are mashing ?

[Bell]

Realism can mean getting killed by someone with an assault rifle hundreds of meters away without even seeing them, picture a 1 shot kill automatic sniper rifle in BF firing from in a bush prone.

The majority of people who rave on about wanting things to be realistic don't actually want what realism would bring you.
I like my games to near the far end of the arcade->realism scale but defiantly not all the way.

[mattnz]

BF2 didn't even have this.

I mean in singleplayer.

[Spacemonkey]

I disagree. I think it's great that they are putting so much into single player.

I think the best games are ones that both have great single-player and multi-player. Like Starcraft.

[BerG.]

Lol why not?

It's not like they are rushing to get the game out and only have time to work on single OR multiplayer.

Sure better than playing single player BF2 when Internet is down...

[Bell]

They also have quite a large team, so the guys working on the SP AI and maps and gameplay don't need to take anything away from the MP dudes.
SP will give them more sales and those expected sales cover the cost of the larger team.

[Cowwie]

Lol why not?

It's not like they are rushing to get the game out and only have time to work on single OR multiplayer.

They should sell both parts separately if they believe in single player that much instead of it riding on the back of the multiplayer part. Still haven't got around to playing bfbc2 single player a second time yet, lol @ playing that while the net is down(what a waste of valuable time when i could be playing something new)<yawn>@same old lame arse ai bots same old forgettable rehashed story seen a million times in every other shooter, all its and its kind have going for it is nicer eye candy=only worth buying at a greatly discounted price.

[Emrico1]

Ima be happy with whatever they bring, it's going to be rad, you know it.
People will whinge and compain and find fault but could never, ever offer a single thread of value to a game design or have any skill in creating something like this.
Gamers act like a pack of spoilt poodle owning princesses I swear. Grinds my gears.

The people who can be arsed joining a forum and talking about their favorite game faults can hardly be called the majority of gamers, if that is true gaming on this planet isnt that popular.

They paid for the game they can demand whatever they damn well feel like be they right or wrong even if they cant be arsed posting proper feedback in ea forums, im sure as hell if they all just sat on their hands and say "its going to be raaad!!" as customers they would have got less attention not more.

idle chatter/bitching even tho ineffective imo it does occasionally indirectly contribute feedback into ea forums/etc, besides one doesnt have to read such deadend posts to begin with anyway, unless you want something to bitch about(be it the game or bitching about these who are bitching about it :P).

[Bell]

Most rants are completely ignored or laughed at by game developers.
Well thought out feedback on the other hand can have an effect.

[Kopfjaeger]

IGN (http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/115/1152917p1.html?_cmpid=ign40)

'…so we pace the game as a tutorial so when you go into multiplayer you don't feel scared.' I WANT MY HAPPY MEAL !!!!

Hmmm so the SP is going to be the 'trainer', hours of stuffing around in SP just to find a tank to drive through a building.....do not want

[mattnz]

Aw, no pulling in multiplayer.

[Pyromanik]

^ rofl if true.

[5loth]

IGN? I think it was confirmed there is no pulling in multiplayer, however they never said there would be.

[Codex]

It would be pretty disruptive to gameplay tbh

[Mr_St1nky]

the team is pretty massive, they canned bf1943 and something else to focus on BF3

[kongkiwi]

The videos seem to display a vast shift in graphics and movement imo.....looking forward to this game a lot

[Emrico1]

Damn, no dragging people around for lols :9

[monpepe]

Didnt they say that they have had a team working on Forstbite 2 and BF3 for 3 years now. I would imagine most on the Multiplayer maps are done now and the SP is what they are concentrating on.

MP will be all about balance, refining and tweaking issues now.......which will prob take some time.

They need a good SP in there. PC is the lead platform and the game would sell just for the MP alone. However on console they need SP to make it viable. Not every console owner has the internet or plays online and they need a SP campaign to draw in the casual player crowd who buy games for SP finish it in 3 days and then get another game.

In the interview with the lead designer guy didn't he say that the MP was done for PC but they had to rework to cater for 24 player maps/count on console?

Big difference in 64 players and 24 players.

Will be interesting to see the first MP vids.

[O-L-W-A-G]

SP is good for when your ISP stops liking you tho

[Dr Woomanchu]

I've been looking forward and downloading SP games, as I have to live with shared Vodem internet for 10 day starting from next monday :(

Metro 2033 i've started playing that for some good ole single player(one handed) action

[brucewillis2]

I disagree. I think it's great that they are putting so much into single player.

I think the best games are ones that both have great single-player and multi-player. Like Starcraft.

I'm going to disagree with your disagree. Do not care about SP at all, it's barely a blip in the overall experrience. BC2 SP was boring, why? because you're going up against computer AI. I can't be bothered with any FPS game where I have to go up against computer opponents. "I can't get no satisfaction" shooting them knowing a real person isn't behind the controls.

I hope the SP is very short and instead they spend more time tweaking the MP to perfection.

[Machpants]

I have got a couple of SP games tha are not tied to an account, you want me to send you some? Crysis, The witcher, ArmA, old school NWN, Olivion, fallout 3, wolfenstein...

EDIT: The witcher and some others may be tied but I should be able to dig out the details.. I hope.

I'm in much the same boat.

I don't mind playing SP puzzle games or similar, but when it comes to FPS multiplayer has really killed any enjoyment I can get from SP.

[mattnz]

A decent singleplayer will mean more people buy the game, enhancing the multiplayer.

[5loth]

I don't think sheer numbers regardless of quality enhances the game. I'd rather 10 skilled players than 100 people who just blow teammates up for fun on my server.

[brucewillis2]

A decent singleplayer will mean more people buy the game

this is true. Although I could say BF2 didn't have a SP and was popular, but that was a while ago and people expect more for their $120 now.

They need to make the ranks harder to achieve as well as the unlocks and ribbons,medals. People want these acheivements and you can't allow people to get them so quickly. This should keep people in the game longer.

[Spigalau]

^ Battlefield 3 Limited Edition (PC Games), $83.89

And yes in NZ, shipped to your door.

[mattnz]

I don't think sheer numbers regardless of quality enhances the game. I'd rather 10 skilled players than 100 people who just blow teammates up for fun on my server.

Yeah, but I also want a game where I can get a server populated that I like, and cannon fodder helps with this.

Not to mention it's probably good for getting people into the game who haven't played online MP FPS before.

[private_hell]

They need to make the ranks harder to achieve as well as the unlocks and ribbons,medals. People want these acheivements and you can't allow people to get them so quickly. This should keep people in the game longer.

this is the fine line - too hard and people get annoyed/sick of the grind to get to the next rank - too easy and you have everyone running at the same level which then forces people to bore of it and find a new game

[Bell]

They need to make the ranks harder to achieve as well as the unlocks and ribbons,medals. People want these acheivements and you can't allow people to get them so quickly. This should keep people in the game longer.

Personally I don't want the player base to be playing I'd prefer a player base playing for fun/challenge.
Then there is the whole issue of giving superior weapons as unlocks which screws people like me who don't have enough time to get all the unlocks to be on the level playing field as the uni students.
In short death to unlocks unless they are only visual unlocks that don't effect gameplay.

[O-L-W-A-G]

yes and no i gets boring after all the unlocks i reckon it should have unlocks all the way to the top rank

[mattnz]

I play because I like playing, not because I like virtual shiny stickers. Maybe you should be playing wow?

[kongkiwi]

In saying that, until you got to rank 15 in BC2, life is tough with no magnum ammo.....

[SteddieEddie]

Thats what killed bc2 for me, well one of the reasons. The unlocks skewed the game to much

[9unk]

Really? I still rock around with the first gun from all the classes from time to time. I don't really use any of the over powered guns other than plat on the ump.

Hey pants thanks but i already spend enough time on the pc at night haha although crysis is tempting...... Nope better not haha

[Mayhem_Lee]

Really? I still rock around with the first gun from all the classes from time to time. I don't really use any of the over powered guns other than plat on the ump.

Yea in the end most people just go back to whatever gun they prefer/get bored and try something new

[mattnz]

It's not so much OP guns, as OP gadgets. The vehicle unlocks are a prime example of fucking over new players, although I'm sure it would be argued that new players might be overwhelmed having too many options.

[brucewillis2]

They just need to have weapon balance to suit styles not have one OP weapon that everyone is going to use. When BC2 first came out people found out very quickly what the OP weapons were and everyone used them. Now the balance is very good and you see people running around with what weapon they feel comfortable with.

Even though I tell myself I'm not much of a medal hunter I still went after those ribbons in BF2 from time to time. They just add another dimension to the game where you are able to focus on a different objective than just 'winning the game'. Medals/Ribbons add depth to a game and they should a lot of those into BF3. Also the ranks should be harder to achieve at the top end. I only made it to colonel at the end of my 2 years of BF2 (a long way off from 5-star general) and had quite a few empty spaces in my medal cabinet.

I'm not a big fan of gadgets. if BF3 put in one of those remote controlled cars like in black ops I'll be fucked off!

[O-L-W-A-G]

Hmmmm maybe use daily challenges like reach does to keep us entertained and I'd actually prefer ranks to be shorter I just don't have enough time to get to general

[Machpants]

I went out on the beers and movie (Dave: funny with beers onboard) last night and crashed at a mate's. He had DL'd the 1.8GB thing. Looks pretty fucken fantastic played on his TV. This iwll be one good looking game... but I hope the MP is as good to play as it is good looking.

[mattnz]

Looks like they snuck out the producer's commentary, if anyone is interested.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtmX1M-K5ns

[Spork]

Now we have a name to the dev whom has no idea how to play the game. Patrick Bach.

Good commentary, didn't really explain anything at all though, sounded like a home made Youtube vid by some noob who got his hands on the alpha.

yerp yerp yerp. can see imma going to be spending 2-3k on a new box in the coming months :( looks mean hopefully the game play is there. (and no by Box I wasn't meaning the blondie)

[Munchie]

Soooo excited!

[[∞]MadMike]

Yeah it's been a while Aye Munchie. still dont know why we stopped playing BC2 in favor of the new flops.

[Machpants]

I am back into BC2, even though I can only play single screen with the annoying multi-monitor CTD, even with guys like the CG sponsored SAF around :p

[brucewillis2]

Omg I'm jizzing.



That chick is so hot!

farking A! smoking hot!

[Spork]

She is good yes, however she has no place in that video, she just looked as if she had no idea about anything, but what ever, the video had good information, good gameplay graphics and good viewing while listening to the DICE devs talk about their game.

[Munchie]

Flops biggest crap ever! I get abused by little 12year olds nearly ever server and then I get kicked :(

If someone was smiling at me like that while I was trying to give serious answers I'd want to slap that condescending grin off their face. luckily she's hot so she got away with it.

all those developers looked farking tired. I approve, work them day and night.

[monpepe]

Yeah more than likely they are trying to get a working demo or something like that for E3 next week.

Apparently BF3 will be one of the main games being shown in the EA stage show and the Microsoft one as well.

[Bell]

all those developers looked farking tired. I approve, work them day and night.

Do you like bugs?

[Emrico1]

Do you like bugs?

BACK IN YOUR CAGE AND MAKE SOME BLOODY GAMES, GOD DAMMIT MAN WHO LET YOU OUT.

[kongkiwi]

There seems to be a serious shortage of razors in Europe, hairy mofo's. Hey maybe it's what all the cool kids are doing, and that would explain why I don't have facial hair, let alone the ability to grow the stuff. Coz I'm too young.....

[mattnz]

You shouldn't take programmers as a representative sample of a population regarding beards.

[Daddy Clin]

If it's in fashion in Europe, you can be sure it will be in fashion here within the next five to eight years.

Was a good video as far as awareness and hype go. Interesting to hear about the scope for light sources, the engine is impressing me no end. The proof will be seeing it in person I guess.

I wish all you bitter vets the best and hope BF3 can live up to your nostaligc expectations. It's really hard to live up to the love and wonder of the "old games". I'll just be happy to play on on3 servers that are full of people I know. It's why I'm here in the first place!

[SteddieEddie]

Oh they will be full, don't worry about that

[brucewillis2]

Do you like bugs?

I hate both kinds of bugs. But like any game that comes out these days I expect there will be some.

[Bell]

You shouldn't take programmers as a representative sample of a population regarding beards.

Most of those dudes weren't programmers but I will add with my limited experience in the industry that beards are very prominent across all game dev disciplines.
Some studios even have beard growing competitions

[Spork]

I hate both kinds of bugs. But like any game that comes out these days I expect there will be some.

These days? I don't think I have ever played a game that didn't have bugs at one stage or another.

[Munchie]

The only expectations I have are:

- Hitreg works correctly
- Mouse + keyboard are responsive and there is no input lag

[[∞]MadMike]

^ +1
But add Working Voip. Commander rolls and utilities. Less 13YR old kids. oh and was hit reg mentioned?

[Emrico1]

I just want it to be like bf2 but a little better.

[brucewillis2]

These days? I don't think I have ever played a game that didn't have bugs at one stage or another.

My gaming days began with the C64, then amiga...

That makes you the same age as me then Mr Willis2. C64 then the revolution of the 128 which was back then going to be the limits of the home PC and unsurpassed. Can still remember my first 486 and thinking WOW what an awesome Machine hehe.

when I finally upgraded to a PC, kings quest, wing commander. Had a fu*king good time those days.

Looking for a new game to get into now. BC2 is good but will that last until BF3 comes out next year? probably not.


aaaaah memories, Silkworm, Giana Sister, Bubble Bubble, Boulderdash to name a few favourites

yeah man I got into all those except boulderdash.

[Mayhem_Lee]

BC2 will last brucey just get a squad of people using smoke nade kills only or M-93R pistol only for a few rounds keeps things fun.

[NZGramps]

when will you guys learn World of Tanks is all you need to know

[Dr Woomanchu]

I played games from way back on the Sinclairs, but I didn't get the boggle factor until the first time I sat down and played Doom. The first time that door opened and I shot that 320 x 240 monster with the shottie, I was hooked.

[5tacK]

I just want it to be like bf2 but a little better.

+1

Especially not like CoD + vehicles (or BFBC2).

[NZGramps]

Doom and Quake were the first signs for me i was addicted, it wasnt until i had a go at BF2 on a friends computer that my life changed tho, and ive never looked back

[Dr Woomanchu]

It will have a lot of BC2 in it. Games have moved on, and being multiported, the large titles will always have an arcade flavour. If they target at teh more hardcore gamer, then they lose too many sales.

The problem is that what makes for good public server play doesn't equal competitive play. The key, and what BC2 badly lacked , is a scrim friendly version, with useful tools, spectator and webcast support, and an easy method of modifying public server settings to more suit competitive gameplay.

I was just last night thinking back to the days of when TBAG were scrimming (rather casually) in one or two ladders. Fun days those were.

sure were, crazy to think how may hours i sunk into BF2 and what else i could have done with that time, but no regrets

[Spigalau]

So will it have the BF Recorder like BF2 had ?

That made making video's easy.

[brucewillis2]

They better have these things included. Something that helps viewers understand what's going on. Quick fire stats for commentators - that would be mint. Because even if oga never come back and play compeditively I still want to watch the top teams play.

You guys will be back Bruce..... maybe not in the same shape and form but you will be back.

[simcore]

I'm already imagining my crazy "Last Action Hero" style kill streaks, you know, like taking down the other chopper from the gunners seat, and skydiving out after being hit by a Abrams, while softening the landing on the back of my enemy, but being courteous at the same time by using my knife to finish the sequence.

[O-L-W-A-G]

When our family got our first 486, jesus doom ran sweet, 4mb ram......mean. We all be old then.

SWEET! New videos hot from E3 Expo!

Some MP Action.. Suppose it will do for now! looks pretty sweet too!

And Rendering and Frostbite engine animation video!

EDIT:
Found some SP Tank Gameplay 8min worth so a decent video for once!

[Dr Woomanchu]

Well I am not big on fanboi over excitement etc, but I have to be honest here and say

I CAME!!!

[Cdr]

Gotta get in before the 'OMG JIZZED IN MY PANTS' 'OMG JIZZED ALL OVER THE SCREEN' posts;

I don't wanna see generic city fighting, where's my vehicles (one LAV doesn't count), where's my jets, where's my massive open areas and sprawling vistas? Yes, I've seen the other video, but a 'features' trailer for the engine doesn't mean it's included in the game.

It does look nice and the destruction, however scripted, is a step up from the stuff seen in BC2. But its still not a battlefield - it's a minor infantry skirmish.

Hopefully we'll see some proper MP action as the months progress.

Edit: Too slow :(

[Pho3n1x]

Bad Company 3? Is that you?

[kongkiwi]

I think the infantry stuff will be very BC3. Chuck in some big maps, tanks, and jets and call it BF3. Done.

[x93355]

Lets hope that AMD releases a new graphics card about a month before this game comes out because seriously this is going to need some power to run this with eyefinity.

I hate those videos, who give a flying fu*k what these people think of the game. Record some people that are good at the game, testing all the classes... not nubs that can't jump over a fence.

One thing I did notice is some sod climbed up and around the back of the tunnel and couldn't go any futher like they came up against an invisable wall. not sure I like invisable walls.

[Speakman]

its pre-alpha dude... clearly thrown together to meet the E3 deadline. stop picking it apart. save that for the beta

That's apparently an 8v8 map, so I'd expect to see invisible walls, although I guess you'd think they would just make it look as if a building had fallen over there or something.

[Lyesalot]

Yeah and what's with the very small amount of bullet drop from the tank shells in single player. It pretty much didn't exist from what I could see!

I like it in BC2 where you go out of bounds the screen goes grey and someone yells "get back to the action" I prefer that to the CoD idea of walling off any exit to a map.

I like more bullet drop but faster shells. This is what BCV was like, loved nailing choppers from a distance, its farking hard in BC2.

[Dr Woomanchu]

BF2 was chronic for that. It was one of the most notable things when I fired it up again recently was how non existent shell drop was compared to BC2

Ah yea, I forgot thats what they do in BF games, yea I'd say they will definitely bring that back into the game, but just wasn't in the demonstration.

Well it is kinda hard to wall off a jet....
