Battlefield 3 Teaser - Phenomenal graphics!

This is why I love PC gaming.

You only get a sneak peak at the new graphics engine but it's enough.. (Switch to 720p and full screen for best effect)

Strange coincidence that you wrote that since just last night I was thinking to myself how most recent graphically superior shooters have been boring failures and that I should reload something with quality level design like No One Lives Forever (circa 2001) back on my computer.
Btw true story.

the grafx look pretty damn good, but too bad i'm more of a run & gun (solo) fps player. i despise team play.

Looks great. Have been hooked to Bad Company 2, the only decent shooter last year, way superior to the pile of steaming shit Black Ops is.
This one will have destruction 3.0 and 64 players on each server. Looks like a buy for me.

Blame the Console market. PC game development has been hampered by the fact that to make money, you need to develop cross-platform. Meaning graphics these days are limited to technology which came out six years ago. Although it isn't much of an excuse for shitty game play, the success of rubbish like MW2 & Black Ops means developers are going for the quick buck rather developing something honest like DICE.

Have you guys seen the COD parody done by EPIC? Pretty funny and not far form the truth:

Shit, EA is going to stomp on Activision's CoD series with this one.
Nice, CoD is getting boring, we need some alternatives.

Can't effing wait. Let's see what the pre-order deals look like. This and DX: HR are the two main titles I'm looking forward to.

I urge you all to "like" this (http://www.facebook.com/battlefield?sk=app_205494772808486) page, impatiently waiting for the commentary trailer.

For those of us with larger monitors, a new trailer has emerged (12 min trailer in 1080p @ 60fps 1.8gb):

1.8Gb for a trailer :mellow:

I just hope its multiplayer rocks, and preferreably this time DICE does decent hardware support, as it took them several patches to solve many compatibility issues, some of which aren't yet solved to this day (i.e. realtek HD support on intel boards).

UDK trailers get pretty big too Caby.

I read at a forum that there were plans for cross-multiplayer. ie. Live, PSN and PC online players playing together, is there any truth in this?

[Cabalo]

Doubt it will happen on any FPS.
PC players will always have the advantage, as they use a mouse to aim. Now, if you're saying PSN and Live, then it made some sense, though I don't see how it can be technically achieved.

Turns out the user got confused with Portal 2.

12 full minutes of gameplay....... and I jizzed, in, my pants.

Also the 12min commentary trailer got released early, was meant to be released at 1mill likes on Facebook.

Downloading that now. I just want to watch it again in 1080.

Destructible environments ftw. That's what made Bad Company 2 such a success, and DICE said they are going to be pushing it much harder on BF3.
I start to feel tempted to pre order this one, this trailer and the subliminal messages on BC2's news ticker are starting to work on me.

Didn't want to bring this discussion to the table, but I have to ask myself: how is Call of Duty going to win the battle with such a game like this? Multiplayer? BF3 will have 64 player maps!
