BF3 BETA

some news, not much but something

The first Battlefield 3 details could be hitting the Internet pretty soon if the GDC 2011 schedule is anything to go by.

The 2011 schedule contains a lecture from Kenny Magnusson, a senior lighting and VFX artist at EA DICE.

Below is a preview of the lecture;

"This session presents a detailed overview of the new lighting system implemented in DICEs Frostbite 2 engine and how it enables us to stretch the boundaries of lighting in BATTLEFIELD 3 with its highly dynamic, varied and destructible environments."

"BATTLEFIELD 3 goes beyond the lighting limitations found in our previous battlefield games, while avoiding costly and static prebaked lighting without compromising quality."

"We discuss the technical implementation of the art direction in BATTLEFIELD 3, the workflows we created for it as well as how all the individual lighting components fit together: deferred rendering, HDR, dynamic radiosity and particle lighting."

In order for this lecture to be successful you would expect at least a little of the game to be shown so the chances of seeing an official reveal before then isn't such a crazy idea.

"Battlefield 3 allows you to feel the full impact of battle like never before. Powered by Frostbite 2, the next generation of DICE’s cutting-edge gaming engine, Battlefield 3 delivers spectacular visuals, earth-shattering destruction and real as hell combat gameplay providing a dramatic immersive First Person Shooter experience. One moment you may be marching down a hilltop listening to the hypnotic sound of a firefight in the distance or admiring the way the light reflects off the smoke plumes of ground to air missiles rising from the city you’re about to engage. The next you’re on an urban street, surrounded, claustrophobic, fighting for your life and looking eight ways at once with all your senses on high alert, chilled at the knowledge that the building you’re hiding behind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Welcome to Battlefield 3. "

nice, cant wait.

This is it! We are very excited to announce the first details on Battlefield 3 and to kickstart the preorders for the Limited Edition!



Battlefield 3 is the true successor to Battlefield 2. Beyond our signature multiplayer, we have also included a full single-player campaign and a co-op campaign – all straight out of the box. As for fan favorite features, how does the return of jets, prone, and 64-player multiplayer (on PC) sound? All this built with our powerful new game engine Frostbite 2, which you'll hear and see a lot of in the months leading up to launch. For the full reveal on Battlefield 3, stay tuned for links to our cover stories hitting the gaming press throughout February, starting with Game Informer right now.

why do they give medal of honor players ago at it 1st when so many true bf fans are out there .Why don't they let the call off duty rats have ago too. Then maybe the people that are going to buy it just because its a BF game . logic in this is bad. they know we will buy it but they fuk us around.

There's no way i will buy any other game to get an invite to beta testing. The real players should be beta testing because they know the bf game series .

Because BF3 will be more like CoD than a "true BF game". It won't be anything like BF2 and 2142 mate, don't get your hopes up

all this talk about bf3 been the new bf2 is getting to me. I really would like to see bf2142 on the new engine. that would be mad. I so miss using the pilum as a sniper rifle.


I found a wicked tralier, check it out

Seany from Aussie Underdogs has posted up on Facebook that the US beta begins on the 10th, and the Australian Beta kicks off on the 11th (this Sunday).

Alot of dates being thrown around, without much confirmation from DICE or EA, but if Seany's source is on the money...... then hopefully we will be getting some nice little emails in the next 48hrs!

*Fingers crossed*
