Battlefield 3

[Versus]

Some more info shows the limited edition comes free with an expansion map pack called "Back to Karkand" which includes 4 BF2 maps, of which that pack will be available for buy a month after the release.

New locations include Paris, New York, and Tehran.  You'll be able to carry fallen friends to a safe area and apparently have a mounted gun that you put on any terrain and there will of course be sea vehicles.

Paying on release for map packs?  Stay classy, Dice.

Just a way to get people to buy the game new, cause as seen with Bad Company's "Limited Edition", limited plays no part in anything lol Basically you pre-order, you get the pack for free, if you buy it used or I assume past the release date by some time, you have to buy it.  I've seen worse DLC to get near launch lol

[WTF Joel]

If they fuck this up and just make another bad company, I'm going to be pissed.

       * Aiming for CY Q4 2011 release
       * Concept for BF3 has been in the works for years, waiting on proper tech to seamlessly come together
       * Frosbite 2.0 is the culmination of this tech, entirely re-written
       * Lighting sounds neat, one "probe" contains more lighting information than an entire BFBC2 level.
       * Level destruction is going to be "believable" but basically everything is destructible.
       * Character animations powered by ANT, what EA Sports uses.
       * AI characters and multiplayer characters have different animation setsNo more "gliding" animations that look off, animation realism is a focus
       * Captured their own war audios (bullets, tanks, helicopters, etc) at different distances to ensure realism
       * Better audio cues for certain actions, more easily able to listen for threats
       * Plan on better, more immediate post release content
       * More unlocks than BFBC2
       * Dice trying to find a good balance between customization of your character and not having "pink rabbit hat(s)"
       * 4 classes
       * Will talk about squads "later"
       * Looking into a theater mode but can't talk about it
       * Will have co-op
       * There will be a kill-cam but it can be turned off
       * BF3's team is almost twice as big as the team for BFBC2
       * They want the pacing of the single player mode to be balanced, with highs and lows. Makes the comparison to a song vs a guitar solo.
       * Part of the single player mode takes place in Sulaymaniyah - Iraqi Kurdistan.
       * "Fuck" will be used often, so M rated for sure
       * There will be an earthquake in a level. The destruction sounds very impressive. 7 story building collapses, looks very well done
       * Significant narrative that goes with the SP mode
       * More than one setting, you're not in the middle east for the whole game
       * PC version is lead version
       * Why 64 players for PC only? No complains from the console crowd.
       * No mod tools at release. Maybe none down the line either. Frosbite 2.0 is complex and mods tools would have to be dumbed down, so does Dice really want to put their time to that or would it be better spent elsewhere?
       * Original story, not based on Bad Company at all.

*EDIT*
Just a couple more notes...

   * Prone and spotting are in
   * Dolphin diving is out
   * PC version can handle 64-player matches; consoles are restricted to 24 players
   * The bullet drop system is being revamped
   * No more tracer darts

More footage of what we saw in the teaser, showing off mostly the basics of what changed with the engine such as the animation and lighting.  It's looking nice, even has a little action towards the ends, though it's still very teaser oriented.  Good stuff though.  Hopefully something more substantial will come out of GDC like multiplayer footage and some action of the new destruction.

He was hitting those flowerpots with ease!

Was listening to a moron hyping this game to someone else on the weekend. He said that there was going to be cross system multiplayer between ps3 xbox and PC. I loled in my head , and didn't feel the need to correct him.
