Battlefield 3 Info Blowout: Prone confirmed for consoles and more

In case you haven’t played Battlefield 2, you should know that going prone before your opponent resulted in you having an advantage over him. Since everyone mastered the art, the gameplay slowed down to a crawl and it was not fun at all. In Battlefield 3, prone is confirmed for consoles as well, and don’t take me wrong but most console multiplayer games are filled with campers.

 

I am really excited to play BF3 on my PS3 but giving the console players prone ability is not a wise decision at all. If Dice really wants to add prone, they should make sure that the animations are such that, it takes a while to get up. This ensures that people don’t abuse it.

 

Take a look at the video “Dolphin Diving” in BF2,DICE has confirmed that it won’t be possible to do so in BF3, but it was hilarious when people were abusing it.

dolphin FTW!!

Alan Kertz, the design lead of Battlefield 3 has been interacting with the community quiet a bit since the game got announced. What’s his chosen medium of communication? Twitter ofcourse. He dropped a lot of interesting details regarding the game and we’ve all all rounded up for you.

 

These are all the features confirmed for Battlefield 3.

 

* Prone is confirmed for all three platforms

* Tracers are confirmed.

* MoH MP and BC2 used the same weapon and FOV systems… BF3 is an upgraded version

* You can expect awesome destruction effect and vehicle details in the game.

* Consoles will be able to get the Limited Edition too.

* Friendly fire is an option

* No grappling hook or zipline will be there in the game.

* Vehicle Infantry balance is a huge focus

Some of the Battlefield 3 developers took to Twitter to answer questions from fans and one of the topics was the multiplayer. Console gamers were disappointed to learn that while the PC version of Battlefield 3 supports 64 players, the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will only support 24 players according to details revealed from retail sites.

 

Senior Gameplay Designer Alan Kertz responded to a question about why the PS3 won't have 64 players by saying, "Of course, we didn't say "oh console players don't want 64 players.' Network performance and cpu/gpu power and memory."

 

However, the rumored 24 player limit may not be set in stone as engine developer Christina Coffin responded to our question about the console limit with, "we'll support as many as we can +maybe extra provided it maintains the integrity of the play experience."

 

No word on whether or not Battlefield 3 will come with dedicated servers for the PS3 or Xbox 360. That would obviously be a limiting factor.

 

PS3 or Xbox 360?

 

Another question posed to Kertz was whether or not the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions would be the same. It's too early to say what differences there might be according to Kertz. So probably best to wait a little while longer on that pre-order before making a decision.

 

Recommended PC Specs

 

While definitely not official, DICE's Johan Andersson recommends a Window 7 PC with a 64-bit processor and a video card that supports DX11. However, the Frostbite 2.0 engine is being built to scale based on the hardware.

 

Battlefield 3 is set to be released sometime this Fall. It goes without saying that more details on military shooter are coming in the big GameInformer cover story.

 

Update: I'm seeing a lot of comments about the Xbox 360 holding the PS3 back. Let's remember two things. 1) The 24 player limit may not be set in stone. 2) The Xbox 360 has had games in the past (Frontlines, Section 8) and one coming soon (Homefront) that supported more than 24 players. If there is any limitation on consoles than it is likely due to the demands of the Frostbite 2.0 engine which won't even support Windows XP and requires at least DX10 on the PC.

German magazine Gamestar did their own interview with DICE on the upcoming Battlefield 3, and they’ve released some screenshots in the progress. We can’t say whether these are pre-rendered or in-game shots, but they look as one might expect BF3 to look.

 

The screenshots come from magazine scans done by German BF3 fan site Battlefield-Inside, the magazine is slated to hit the stands tomorrow. The screenshots appear to be form the single-player campaign.

DICE: Battlefield 3's rivals are 'treading water'

 

DICE has warned its rivals in the military shooter space that it's "here to win" with Battlefield 3 - and accused some of its competitors of "treading water".

 

The studio sent out a gameplay trailer of the game this afternoon, which has already set the internet ablaze with positive comments.

 

It also confirmed plans for pre-order incentives and a Limited Edition of BF3, which is set to release for 360, PS3 and PC in the autumn.

 

"We are gearing up for a fight and we're here to win," said Karl Magnus Troedsson, General Manager, DICE.

 

"Where other shooters are treading water Battlefield 3 innovates. Frostbite 2 is a game-changer for shooter fans. We call it a next-generation engine for current-generation platforms."

 

Executive producer Patrick Bach added: "We wanted to create the most immersive and emotionally powerful Battlefield game ever and we needed new technology to deliver on our vision.

 

"Battlefield 3 preserves the franchise's signature sandbox style and even brings back classic fan favourites like jets, going prone and 64-player multiplayer on PC."
