Maybe it's going to be something from Microsoft's event this week?-Pyromaniac- said:But what could it be ahead of the March 1st reveal? I'm guessing it's just gonna be single player stuff, no gameplay though. Maybe an in-game cinematic.
The game is based in the Middle East, and we already know from screens that the US has soldiers there, so both the US and MEC are making a comeback, at least.vidal said:Now I'm curious what the main factions will be in Battlefield 3. US for sure, but will the PLA and MEC (probably the most interesting of them all) make a return? The lack of interesting factions in BC2 was really lackluster. I'm sure Russia will be introduced as a main faction (whereas there were just two small factions in Special Forces).
The one thing I don't like about what's been announced is that unlocks are making a return. I liked it better when each faction had their own unique weapons that helped in establishing them. At this point, the series seems like it's becoming pick your weapon and pick your "costume."

Also it appears you can have custom text on the back of your helmet too!
Agreed. The BF Moments videos were great hype-inducing multiplayer videos. I'm looking forward to hopefully more of those for BF3.derFeef said:The Battlefield moments videos are godly indeed. That said, I would prefer something like that for the reveal - but it is going to be singleplayer for sure.

I haven't seen the scans or whatever but are you seriously saying that a bit of tiny text at the side of the helmet is enough to replace usernames? Also, distracting? They are functional! I bet it's people like you who made removing health bars standardwoober said:Yes! I was hoping for this once I saw it on the helmets. I hope this eliminates the distracting floating usernames in online matches.
The folks at OffDutyGamers.com consist of, you guessed it, off duty soldiers, who all share a love of games. With the teaser trailer of Battlefield 3 now live, these troops took a look at the art from the game and did an expert breakdown of all the equipment carried by the Battlefield 3 soldier. Take a look at the image below for the full rundown.

Wow, Swedes only work until 3pm?Manager said:The work day in Sweden is coming to an end, if GI/whoever/EA have any respect for DICE they'll release the video naaaao
Please. Please.
http://twitter.com/locust9locust9: I am digging all the "these have to be prerendered" comments. Ah. Innocence. #BF3
@Xenoliath lol at prerendered. You guys.. are in for a treat.

They are free to remove the entire HUD in hardcore if they'd like, but I still think it would be stupid to remove a bunch of useful information from the user in the main game in an attempt to add "immersion".woober said:So is the minimap and you see people playing without them on hardcore.

@zh1nt0 The screen shots shown are not actual game-play right (more like movie segments right?)

@Dismattle They are in-game
http://twitter.com/zh1nt0@BattleStrats I haven't seen the gamestar article but previously announced 24 in GI is correct.
@Brorim We're always monitoring wether we can improve cheat detection together with Evenbalance and their punkbuster system.
Damn shame. I've never had any problem with it myself but I remember trying to play BF2 with a friend and having to find a server that wasn't running punkbuster since he kept getting kicked.Manager said:Not sure if this was mentioned before or not, but Punkbuster is in:
Punkbuster sucks, i cant play BFP4Free thanks to that thing. T_TEnkidu said:Damn shame. I've never had any problem with it myself but I remember trying to play BF2 with a friend and having to find a server that wasn't running punkbuster since he kept getting kicked.
