Let the info coming in this tread

[Kenzey]

nothing new...
Old infos as always...

[FluggerNO]

I`m so much looking forward to this game.. ÂÂ*:D
Dont think my wife is looking that much forward to it then. ÂÂ*:roll:

[qunoxx]

woohaa, Can´t wait either :)

[jaskaman]

In other part of forum there is teaser video and link to preorder.
This info will be put to public in the end of this month but some bf3 fans found out this information from EA store already:

"The Battlefield 3 Limited Edition includes Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand at no extra charge.

This themed expansion pack features four legendary maps from Battlefield 2 boldly re-imagined with Frostbite 2 physics, destruction and visuals. Completing the package are classic Battlefield 2 weapons and vehicles, unique rewards, new achievements/trophies, and more. For those who don't pre-order to secure the Limited Edition, Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand expansion content will be available for purchase approximately one month after the game's release."

If this information is true, then preordering Limited edition is worth it.

OMG OMG OMG OMG
Back to Karkand OMG OMG OMG Strike at karkand from bf2 *_* best map ever and ever

[Vercetti]

I will make a BF3 forum today, where we can post all the info :-)

[macgyver1969]

I got a €10,00 coupon from EA for my birthday. I used it with the pre-order. ÂÂ*8)

Hopefully the Beta comes out soon and pre-orderers get a free key.

[jaskaman]

And I sure hope this preinfo about limited edition is true :)
I will make preorder soon. At this moment 45 eur is preorder price here, a bit high but maybe I will make it anyway. :D

[macgyver1969]

This is my first chance to play a game as soon as it comes out. At the premieres of BF2 and BC2 I always had a too old PC. Just a month ago I got my new rig ans so I', ready for it. Â*:D

[MI-six]

Here is someting ÂÂ*:D

Very nice :)
Here is some info I found also :
"•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 sets
•No 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."

For those interested, here are the scans from the March edition of Game Informer:

Unfortunately there will be no modding tools, but that's to be expected.

[jaskaman]

Nice information but I really miss commander mode with vehicle drops from BF 2. So if that's not included, that is a bad thing but I can live without it :D

[NormanDLanding]

This will most likely be my new fav game!!!! And back to Karkand, BF2 revisited whow SWEEEEEEEEET!!

[Ainar84]

Would like to know what will be the requirements, i have bad feeling that i need to change my video.

[Ainar84]

hmm i have crossfire system 2 ati 4850 512Mb each, but it seems that it will not bee enough.

[Vercetti]

I think it was that you NEED DX11 and only Vista/ Win7 are supported.

[jaskaman]

Directx11 installed but I think it works on DX10 based graphic cards but with less effects.

[AceMarksman]

Seems i'd better get putting some money aside for pc upgrade's to run it to its best..

[macgyver1969]

Found following info on some website:

DICE member Daniel Matros popped into the official EA UK forums where he confirmed that the 4 maps included on the Back to Karkand DLC (Battlefield 3. Limited Edition copies of the game will get this content for free) would be:

* Strike at Karkand
* Wake Island
* Gulf of Oman
* Sharqi Peninsula

[OldRavenNL]

no, they keep taking the links down..

you have to try and find a recent upload.. ÂÂ*or else it's gone already.

[Vercetti]

No disclosure.... same with the play4free beta. When footage pops up, they take it down.

Sounds of Battlefield 3

[Champ]

I am a lazy reader, soo i just ask:

Have anybody seen the definate requirements for BF3 ? I dont wnt thoose guesses posted, i want the official demands to my computer !

[Ainar84]

No, at least I still have not seen system requirements anywhere.

[OldRavenNL]

I did see the setup they used for the demo.. ÂÂ*but they didn't say anything about system specs for bf3 as they are still in the process of optimizing frostbite 2 etc..

[FluggerNO]

Well.. why not just google it??.. ÂÂ*:roll:

Its no facts out there yet so I think u just need to get one that are better then the BFBC2 Requirements.

But I did find this not sure if its the real one but:

Minimum System Requirements
Processor: Dual Core
Memory: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 15 GB for Digital Version, 10 GB for Disc Version
Video Memory: 256 MB
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 10


Recommended System Requirements
Processor: Quadcore Processor
Memory: 4 GB
Hard Drive: 15 GB for Digital Version, 10 GB for Disc Version
Video Memory: 512 MB
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 11

[OldRavenNL]

I know the sp demo they showed runs on gtx580.

But that doesn't mean it runs well on anything lower.

I would at least pick a gfx card that supports dx11.

I'm waiting until the beta.. ÂÂ*I think my system will run it fine.. ÂÂ*only thing I plan to upgrade is my gfx card.

Yes this same info I posted on this thread on page 2 :) http://www.oldguys.eu/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1961&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15
That's all what we know so far. I think they will optimize the engine still but I think this will be closest estimate what we can give now. Anyway I will update my graphics card for BF 3. 4870 single is not enough.
