Battlefield 3 Teaser
breathtaking graphics...:eek:
General Comments:
Patrick Bach: The Bad Company series has had little influence on BF3. BF3 will be a direct sequel to BF2
The BF3 team encompasses about 240 people, or three-to-four times more people that the BF2 team.
Impressive lighting effects. Lighting technology uses "Light probes" on the map. One probe has more light information than one complete map in BC2. It also works with dynamically changing terrain.
Gamestar witnessed a presentation that ran on a quad core cpu with a Radeon 5800
Destructability was apparently impressive.
Character animations: A combination of ragdoll and scripted death animations, which Gamestar found to be pretty realistic.
ANT and motion capturing technology from EA is being used which is being used on Sports games like Madden NFL.
Unbelievable sound: Sound will be better than in BC2. One can easily locate shooters. Most realistic combat sound so far.
Frostbite engine:
Physics, Destruction
Can display a huge number of dynamic lights
DICE: Engine too complex for hobby modders. No mod tools at first, not sure whether there will ever be.
One object can have up to 83 audio channels
Single Player:
BC-2-style wise-cracking humor, will be not be used.
Spoiler: SP is set in a North American forested mountain terrain. There will be a European city setting and Iraq 2014 with 1st Recon Marines. At least one solo mission as jet pilot.
Enemies: Iraqi resistance army PLR
Some soldiers faces belong to DICE developers
Several slow motion moments inSP
At least one fight scene where the player has to click the right or left mouse button quick enough to win.
Earthquakes in SP cause a Humvee to disappear into a huge ? , a high building collapses and hits a black hawk helicopter, falling pieces of buildings can hurt characters in sp and mp
DICE didn't say whether it will be possible to give commands to comrades
Multiplayer:
Lars Gustavsson: MP designer is part of DICE since 2000
Max players pc: 64 Consoles: 32
MP info:
F-16 and Su-27 spotted, modern helicopters, tanks
4 soldier classes, 5 accessories kits
Maps will be as big as in BF2
Dice promises more unlock-able weapons and tools, the look can be changed, better balanced ranking system
? mode: likely as it is popular
Commander mode: Very unlikely
Replay function: (aka Battlerecorder) Dice is testing it
Coop mode: Has been announced, but Dice also called normal matches vs bots coop mode too
Dedicated servers: Definitely
Prone: Yes. Dice wants to avoid dolphin diving
