Battlefield 3

Gaming Union: How do you think the Battlefield series has developed since you left DICE?

Liliegren: Well I knew that they were going to the console route because the numbers on the PC where dwindling. I know what they were talking about on the PC side for [the next] Battlefield, and they haven't announced any of that yet, after three years, so I know what's coming, and I still can't talk about it because I'm still under NDA (non-disclosure agreement).

I mean Battlefield Heroes is something that we talked about back when even Jeff [Evans] was working at DICE, in regards of taking Battlefield into a micro-transaction type model. We actually worked on that initial prototype for that here in Canada, just to see how we would split it up from a design standpoint.

I think for the console side, the first outing on [Xbox] 360 and PS2 and Xbox was really weak because we didn't have a single player experience. I think that Bad Company 2 is going to be really good because I think these guys are really smart and they learned the lesson. What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away.

GU: Even after 3 years?

Liliegren: That's why it's going to blow people away, because it's not Modern Warfare 2 PC, it's not that experience.

Considering Liliegren no long works for DICE, his opinion of the game is likely a lot more honest than you'd hear from any current executive. DICE has themselves confirmed that they've been developing Battlefield 3 for some years.

EA Adds Battlefield 3 Beta to Medal of Honor Limited Edition
EA sent out a press release announcing that people who order the Medal of Honor Limited Edition will receive beta access to the Battlefield 3 beta. Yes you read that right, Battlefield 3.

No details about the actual game are offered (or even a logo) other than the beta could start up to 12 months after Medal of Honor releases. The small amount of info also says that Xbox Gold is required for Xbox users so it looks like Battlefield 3 will be a multi platform game.

Electronic Arts Inc. today revealed new details of the Medal of Honor Limited Edition that will be released in North America on October 12, 2010. The Limited Edition* features a host of weapons, powerful ammunition and camouflage. The weapons and camouflage give players a tactical gameplay advantage on day one. EA also announced today that people who own the Medal of Honor Limited Edition will receive an invitation to the beta** for another highly-anticipated EA shooter, Battlefield 3™. Battlefield 3 is the latest entry in the award-winning shooter franchise from DICE in Stockholm, Sweden.

Turbut bus naujas zaidimas su dar vienu geru multiplayeriu.

Aisku jog turetu but geras. Jei seks battlefield 2 tai turetu tikrai but neblogas. Nes kurie lauke Bad Company 2 ant pc ir tikejosi kazko panasaus i BF2 tai neperdaug ir tegavo, tai ir laukia kiti Battlefield 3 del to.

EA’s refused to confirm to VG247 if Battlefield 3 will be revealed at gamescom this month, saying it wants to give developer DICE more time to “craft the game” without marketing and PR.

 

The publisher said last week that a beta of the shooter will be included with the release of Medal of Honor in October, the game’s first mention.

 

But while refusing to say explicitly whether or not it’ll be in Cologne in two weeks time for the firm’s press conference, it’s not sounding very hopeful.

 

“Battlefield 3 is one of the most anticipated games in the world, and we want to give the dev team as much time and privacy to craft the game without disturbing them with marketing/PR,” EA said in a statement.

 

“In the meantime, everyone is excited to launch MOH and we hope you’ll play that beta and enjoy that game this fall.”

 

Other then last week’s news of the beta, nothing has been revealed of the game.

nu jau trecios dalies tikiuosi nesugadins, nes bfbc2 tai nerealiai gerai pasisekes grajus... :)

Dice Ditching DX9 For DX11 And FrostBite 2 For Battlefield 3

 

First and foremost, Dice has completely built their new Frostbite 2 engine from the ground up. While I was impressed by what Dice accomplished with the original Frostbite, it did have it’s limitations. Frostbite 2 has been built to take full advantage of the extra muscle you can only find on a gaming PC. DX9 will not be supported by the new Frostbite Engine as it has been built primarily around DX11?s architecture, sorry XP users but it’s way past time you upgraded to 7 anyway. Frostbite 2 is also optimized to take full advantage of a 64bit OS and sports features such as multi-core optimization, multi-threading support, compute shader support, and tesselation.

 

While Dice seems to have taken great care in building Frostbite 2 with a PC platform in mind, the engine is still multi-platform. FB2 for the consoles will be tailored to each consoles specific strengths according to DICE rendering architect Johann Andersson…

“Frostbite 2 is developed simultaneously for the strengths of each platform”

 

That’s good news for PC gamers that were worried about their experience being somewhat lessened by a multi-platform engine for BF3! Instead of building a single engine that can run on all platforms, Dice has pretty much created multiple versions of FB2, with the console versions of FB2 obviously being scaled back to accommodate the limits of what said console can do.

 

I leave you with a quote from former DICE CEO Fredrik Lilegren…

 

“What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it’s going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can’t tell you what it is, but it will blow people away.”

Lock & load gentleman!

O kaip as jo laukiu BF3, (Pradejau lost juo nuo BF2,BF2(su papildimais),BF2142,BF2142(su papildimais),BFBC,BFBC2)

Tik mane dabar labai gasdina tas kad apie ps3 nieko nesneka, o del BF3 PC (galingo) ar xbox nepirksiu (bet cia tik sneku o kaip bus istikro tai nezinia)

O dar iki BF3 dar tolokai laukt, nu tik beta arti bus kaskam

Recent comments from DICE following Battlefield 3’s announcement are starting to paint the PC version of the game as a slightly different beast from the console versions. This may alleviate the fears of some long time Battlefield fans.

 

Posts and interviews from the developer have shed light on how DICE intends to use the hardware of each platform to push Battlefield 3 as far as they can. This is especially true in how they are further optimizing Battlefield’s latest engine for the PC.

 

Even though Battlefield 1943 and the Bad Company games have recently helped the franchise make inroads to the console space, many still see Battlefield as mainly a PC game. Because of this, fans of Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 became worried when DICE announced Battlefield 3 for consoles as well as PC that the game would be technologically dumbed down for consoles.

 

Battlefield 3 will be the first full-fledged Battlefield game on consoles. The last console attempt – Battlefield 2 Modern Combat was a completely different (and many say inferior) game.

 

Bad Company 2 – the sequel to the console-only Bad Company, was the first time DICE used their new Frostbite engine on the PC, and they weren’t able to take full advantage of the more powerful hardware. One result of that for example (along with the bandwidth of console online networks) was the lower maximum player count compared to Battlefield 2. DICE is working to fix these shortcomings in Battlefield 3.

Reiskiasi turetu ir buti ant PS3, nes sako, kad ant konsoliu paskelbe Battlefield 3. Ne ant vienos konsoles.

kas gerai kad jau mini kaip konsoles , o ne atsikairai , tas jau mane dziugina

After EA's sudden and not-so-standard announcement of Battlefield 3 in late July comes the question of when we'll actually see BF3. The news stated that sometime within a year from MoH's release a beta will be released. So there's been a few questions that have arisen.

 

* What is Battlefield 3?

Battlefield 3 will be the sequel to the summer 2005 hit, Battlefield 2.

* Why is there no official site?

EA/DICE have barely been to the drawing board for BF3, let alone make a logo or even an official site.

* When can we expect the beta to be released?

Our bet is Summer - Fall 2011.

 

With the beta release time frame in mind, we can also predict when we'll hear certain other things about Battlefield 3.

 

* EA doesn't want to draw attention away from MoH anytime soon and for at least a few months after the games release.

* We should be given a trailer or screenshots by late winter 2011.

* More leaked screenies/trailers over the coming months until we get a final trailer at e3 2011.

* Battlefield 3 should be ready for the Holiday 2011 season or as late as Spring 2012.

 

Armies in Battlefield 3 (BF3) are expected to be NATO forces and the Middle Eastern Coalition (MEC.) This is a very small amount of armies, however Battlefield 2142 had the same amount. There has been suggestions that Battlefield 3 may be a MMOFPS, with 2 armies you could choose either side and do quests (battles.) This is also backed up by the statement that you can customize your soldier, however the only thing is, is that there's only 5 classes.

 

Very little is known about the maps. One map, "Baghdad Burning" is rumored to be a massive city map.

Kiti dalykai dar nera oficialiai patvirtinti, tik spejama.

Jeigu BF3 būtų panašus į BF2, tada tai būtų nerealu, tačiau jeigu dice ir vėl pagamins kažką panašaus į BD2, tai nieko gero..

Tai tipo nusiperki ta MOH limited edtion(kas as jau turiu) ir turi ateit per tuos 12men pakvietimas bf3 beatai?

Esu uzsiregines ta moh kida, tai reik tipo laukt i psio?

Nu as tai MOH puslapi net nesireginau o tiesiog naudojau EA Acc ir prisilogino, o seip manau tiesiog lauk is EA BF3 betos koda , as dar EA paciam ACC nusistates kad siustu laiskus man

EA vadovas: „Battlefield 3“ pasirodys antroje 2011 metų pusėje

John Riccitiello, „Electronic Arts“ vadovas, patvirtino „Battlefield 3“ žaidimą ir taip pat atskleidė jo pasirodymo datą. Pasak jo, naujoji žaidimo dalis pasirodys per paskutinius šešis 2011 metų mėnesius.

 

Tikėtina, kad sulauksime bandomąją versiją tinkle (online beta), nors apie šią šaudyklę dar nėra daug informacijos. EA vadovas tuo tarpu teigia, kad didžiausias dėmesys yra nukreiptas į kitų kompanijų produktus, tai "Crysis 2" ir :Bulletstorm", na o ties "Battlefield 3" žaidimu bus susikoncentruota antroje metų pusėje.

 

Riccitiello taip pat pridūrė, kad "Battlefield 3" duos nemenką postūmį į priekį ir leis dar stipriau sustiprinti konkurenciją su "Call of Duty" serija. Apie žaidimą daugiau informacijos bus atskleista GDC parodoje, kovo mėn.

 

"Battlefield 3" bus skirtas AK, "Xbox 360" ir žinoma "PlayStation 3" konsolėms.
