Hit the pic for "Bad Part of Town", Episode I in our new Battlefield 3 gameplay series "Fault Line"!



Tonight marks the premiere of our new Battlefield 3 gameplay series "Fault Line"!

In a completely related event, tonight was the night when 200 games journalists in town for Game Developers Conference were invited to get their first look at Battlefield 3.

During the 15 minute live demo by Executive Producer Patrick Bach, the invitees were treated to a knock-socking surprise as sub-floor mounted subwoofers accentuated the action onscreen to make them feel the battle in earth-shaking detail.

"It's fantastic to have that feeling of being jaded go away!" said Adam Sessler, host of the X-play show at G4 after the smoke settled. "Best effing game I've seen!" noted one distinguished Swedish journalist.

I like the way it wasn't all-out action from the word go. If that had been a CoD title you would have jumped out of the back of the IFV with an XM-25 into a nuke made of brown people.

I hope they let you select semi-auto fire modes on the guns.
 
Aww man that is sick! Cleansed the bad taste of Crysis 2 and justify my Sandy Bridge upgrade 100% now.
 
too much teasing for a Q4 2011 game

second door (exit) : misspelled + divided
I see this in games all the time but some games like COD MW and insurgency did it all right

you are gonna care about spelling on a door more then gameplay? :confused: :eek:
 
Damn these episodic teases!

Beautiful so far. Still want to see MP though, it isn't really Battlefield without seeing multiplayer...and yes, I hope dragging is in MP.

From the IGN article:

The UI will also let you know what's possible with any selected weapon. With the M16 you can switch between three firing modes – single shot, semi-auto, and full-auto – and can flip on a flashlight. At certain points there are also button prompts when, say, a teammate falls over and you have to drag him back to safety. According to Bach, dragging bodies will not be a feature in the multiplayer component.

Missed it in the article, thanks. Too bad, that would have been a great team mechanic.

it could also be done incorrectly on purpose by the developers to see who's paying attention to it. not the first time its happened especially in beta versions. i can't remember what game it was but they had a bunch of writing on doors and walls in a different language that were suppose to be labels for things but really it was the game dev's using incorrect words as a joke.
 
Um Wow.....

Yea


I can NOT Wait any longer for this game....

Damn Q4 2011 can not come fast enough..

I don’t care at all but it would have been nice if they did it right because it might look awkward even if you don’t speak the language.

Anyone else notice the floating gun on the ground after dragging the soldier? It just floats off the ground!

It clearly states at the start of the video that this is run using a pre-alpha build. Don't get too caught up in little stuff like that at this stage.

As for the game itself, it looks amazing. The animation blending and lighting effects are top notch already.
 
its that limited edition David Blaine gun!

You get it with the tier 3 code


I loved how when the player ran to cover after the sniper, the AI moved to new cover. AI is looking pretty smart in this game.. Lets hope it stays that way.

Simply. Amazing. Looking like everything we've been hoping for. Let's hope it stays that way.
 
Looks amazing...the lighting, the atmosphere with the chatter. Now need to start saving for my new build......BF3 PC is on the cards. :D
 
The new articles and video just made my day! It's so hard not to get my expectations up for this game.

I'm glad dragging won't be in MP. Why would we want it in? So the sniper can get two kills instead of one? Players would learn very quickly NOT to drag their teammate. Just revive and go, baby, revive and go. :D
 
Downright sexy. I echo everyone's comments about proper PC gaming. This is a rare gem nowadays. DICE did well with BFBC2 and Vietnam. Let's hope they continue the innovation and push the envelope for us PC Gamers.

Edit: Yes. I will need to save for this game. I want it all high quality.

NO no , you misunderstand me. I was pointing that out as a sure fire sign that this was indeed gameplay!!!!
 
Awesome graphics, amazing gameplay, great audio...CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TO BE RELEASED....
 
Also there were a lot of people at the premier last night as well here in San Francisco :)
 
The graphics look sick.. For once, I'm actually exited about a game release.
 
+1 "I came" post. That was ridiculous lol. Part two is supposed to be out on my birthday. Not sure what I'm looking forward to more :p
