Still bummed about that Crysis 2 DX9 rumor we posted earlier? This Battlefield 3 trailer should make you feel better! Be warned, NSFW language:

What was weird though is that the movement didn't seem to be M&KB. Yeah it said wasd when you were dragging the guy to safety, but it looked like the game was played via a controller.
BF2 supports a maximum of 256 players in a single serverGorgeous
Hopefully the multi-player goes back up to 64+ players
Can't wait. Look out CoD....someone is gunning for your spot.
Doubt it will be 64 bit only. I'm betting it will be recommended though. I remember BF2 almost required a PC with 2GB of RAM when the most common setup at the time was 1GB. I would like to see BF3 push the envelope and make a 4-6GB with 64bit OS the recommended. But it has been confirmed there is no DX9 support on PC, thus no Windows XP support. Frostbite 2 on PC is DX10 and DX11 only. There is a huge thread about it in the gaming subforum.this game is going to be sweet!
frostbit 2.0 engine supports direct x 11 and 64bit processor
wonder if that means 64bit only
but the quasi real time radiosity is sick!
it's going to be a proper game too since PC platform is going to be the lead platform they develop on and then port it over to 360/ps3
It has already been confirmed by EA that it is 64 players in multiplayerGorgeous

Prone is confirmed for release. I could care less about the VoIP features since most clans already use ventrilo or teamspeak. If its made available to everyone it will most likely be abused. I would rather it not turn into xbox live with 12 year olds shrieking and screaming obscenities they don't know the meaning of.Well since I have seen multiple footage of players going prone, I assume the game will have that in it this time unlike some pile of crap games (BFBC2). I could not even believe that game made it to production with no prone stance. Now to find out if they pulled their crap together and got the in game voice working too.
They are calling it a Limited edition with an ex pack out of the gate. But all the editions will be limited editions, and thus every PC version will have same content. Its marketing BS is all it is. They pulled the same stunt with BFBC2. Don't know about xbox or ps3 versions though, they might milk those for DLC money.So, the game isn't out and EA is already advertising "expansion pack(s)"? Awesome.
I've heard October. Atleast according to a few places I've seen offering pre-orders. Makes sense too since they will want to beat COD MW3 to market since they always release in November.Does EA have an official release date yet?

More generic army sp shit, the only part of battlefield anyone should care about is MP, why are they wasting time on a SP campaign when they could be making multi even better, or making a new map etc etc etc
Anyway where is duke already?
I would venture a guess that unlike you there are a lot of people (me included) that fucking despise MP simply because immature asshats can't bring themselves to act civilized and actually have fun. Most of the time its a bunch of immature shitheels griefing and screetching "FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT N****R FAGGOT FAGGOT" and finding any and every way to cheat the system.
I would love to see a true revival of the SP area of gaming. I want a good story, with good action to go along with it without having to put up with other peoples inexcusable bullshit.

^This and in addition, some of us prefer single player because there is a difficulty setting whereas the same cannot be said in MP. Some of us do wish we had the skill of FPS pros that can one-shot your eyeball from 300 yards away with a pistol to compete with the hack that eleven year old is using, however, that type of skill takes practice, time and effort which some of us don't have due to rl, family, responsibilities, etc. However, playing through a new SP campaign that keep look better and better every six that takes all of 10 hours is quite manageable time-wise.
Let me iterate two things on your post if I may.
1.) If you hate MP so much in games like Battlefield, have you even tried finding a server that doesn't allow that bullshit? Sure, it may take a few attempts but you'll have a much better experience online with people. That's what I take the time to do with every game I own on PC.
2.) I'll agree with you on the SP revival, but if a game is gonna focus on SP I'd rather see a much longer campaign than one I can beat in one or two sittings. That goes doubly true for any console games I play.
