What a wonderful way to wake up! Take my money now, DICE!
I will be upgrading my video card for this. Hopefully it comes out this year.

The trailer was uneventful but the news is great.
Good news about prone, but I doubt it. I'll remain pessimistic without reason and prematurely angry. >:|The Faceless Master said:

24 Players? 64 Players for PC Users? Wow... biggest joke ever. Next stop : PS2 graphics for Console gamers.
Edit : Jets for Console gamers? Probably no.

Um, not really. I'm not sure why a lot more devs havent taken the Valve approach to this. Have a lot of the physics client based instead of having the server handle all of that data. Just have the rubble (the smaller bits of rubble) affect the player. Not every bit of information, that gets relayed back and forth between the server and the clients, needs to be consistent.endlessflood said:

Yes yes yes yes yes yes YEEEEEESSSS!
Bring it!! I love Bad Company 2!
I'm fine with 24 players, I mostly like to play the controlled Rush gametype where the combat its focused small sections of the map at the time. Jets would be cool to have on consoles, but unlikely. And DICE please keep prone away from the console version while you're in the mood of putting less content on it, sure it's very satisfying to have the option to just lay on the floor, but it's freaking annoying once all over the place there's douchebag snipers camping behind bushes or carton of milk 2 miles away or something.

Box art says "bad company 3" to me, not that I would complain.
I'm going to cautiously give Dice the benefit of the doubt and assume they're including scalable maps like in BF2. And not just letting PC players turn 24 player maps into clusterfucks with 64. I'm not sure this is an assumption that I should be making, but I will.
No it isn't. Dice has commented on the record and it's common knowledge that's repeatedly stated on gaf: Sony and MS have bandwith caps that were fashioned a decade ago. They're obsolete and were designed for an ISDN world. This is the problem.
Hey now. And have friends lists that are bigger than 20 players? Crazy talk. As much as I HATE punkbuster, I consider this as equally outdated. What I wouldn't give to just use the Steam's friend list to join games.

What do you expect? Consoles are old and limited hardware.dark_inferno said:
You cant expect the same performace as a PC.
In fact im glad that DICE is not supporting DX9 anymore.
tl;dr: If you want the best BF3 version buy it on PC.
Also : PunkBuster sucks! I cant play BFP4Free Beta anymore since they turn on PunkBuster.... or maybe im a punk and im being busted? :0

This is Battlefield 3, the successor to Battlefield 2, from a long running series of PC Exclusive 65-player multiplayer titles. You should expect no less from DICE's flagship PC multiplayer series.
It its not Bad Company 3, it's just using Frostbite 2.0 which was the successor to Frostbit 1 used to develop Bad Company and Bad Company 2.
Please stop the complaining and be glad that the consoles are even getting BF3...

Didnt Dice say the 24 player limit on consoles was down to bandwith limitations set by the console makers ?

I'll probably double dip and buy it on console on PC.
I wonder if they're going to break players into smaller groups MAG style so you won't be seeing everyone at once and it'll be more of a guided experience. That way could shoot for some kind of parity on both platforms. On consoles the external(to your location) combat is implied but not player controlled, while the PC version will be played by the additional players.

Anyone who didn't think the sequel to Battlefield 2 would be significantly better on the PC was kidding themselves. As for player counts it's quite simple, Consoles have 512mb of Ram or less, the average PC has significantly more. Add in superior graphics cards and processors and it's obvious why such distinctions need to be implemented.
This is the game which makes me build a gaming rig again. Although I'll probably buy a console copy as well as a pc copy.
Just show me the gameplay DICE, and those big urban environments. Anyone who has seen my post history knows the single thing I want from this game coming from the Bad Company offshoot was urban, dense, claustrophobic environments.

Is there a bigger version of this

Besides the one in the OP from Gameinformer, a clean one.
