Jeez, that map looks epic.
Now, I can imagine helicopters carrying players around the map, exploding helicopters dropping from the air due to rocket collision, warfare vehicles roaming the map, boats patrolling the waters, destruction on an epic scale all over the map.... and hearing all of this beauty on my Surround Sound System 5.1 with the "war tapes" setting on..

Oh yeah, battlefield 3 is going to be epic.

callmedom944729d ago

Sounds all so great, and can be pictured by anyone. This game will be incredible. And DICE is famous for its best sounding games!

UnbiasedGamer4729d ago

DICE sound effects are excellent in their battlefield games, especially on a sound system.

@Greywulf

You are a pathetic troll mate.

I think the gaming world has resigned it self to know that this is a PC only game. The console versions are appearing as a near after thought and don't hold a candle to the PC version. We all know it and we all don't care.

ON TOPIC: I cannot wait to storm the beaches of the new wake island. Is it me or does it look much bigger than past iterations?

Get a gaming PC or go play COD as far as I am concerned. I don't care that the console version is gimped as I won't be getting it.

Thank you Dice for finally pushing the envelope far enough to encourage the next gen of console to come through.

caboose324728d ago

Yea thats what I though when I first saw it. Probably closer to the actual size of wake island.

aviator1894728d ago

I really don't get your comment. Greywuld was acknowledging that the PC version is clearly the superior in the sense that it will boast up to 64 players online, in contrast to consoles' 24 player limit online.

Anyways, I doubt DICE is completely ignoring the console versions as you're implying. Both DICE and EA know that the majority of the sales will stem from the consoles and the minority from the PC version. The console footage will probably have limits and will probably be graphically and technically inferior to the PC version, but I doubt by that much besides the on-line player limit cap. These companies want sales and I'm betting they'll make sure the console version will be up to speed and run spectacularly.

@Aviator189
I have to agree with you here. BF3 on consoles will still be amazing. The only thing is that the maps will be a little bit bigger on the pc and have a faster fps.

DICE has already said that the out of bounds will be bigger on consoles in order for jets to have more flying zone. They wont "dumb" done console versions. They have said this in interviews. It's just going to be 24 players online. I would rather have 24 than 32 or 64 on console if that means that I dont have lag..
and plus, all Battlefields on consoles all the way back to Battfield 2 Modern Combat, it has been 24 players a team. In 1943 it was 24, BC, and BC2 have all been 24. It will work out despite what anybody says, and the game will be far superior than the other games on the market

@Greywulf
Yeah, i hope you enjoy all the hackers on the pc version. I'll take 24 players over that shit any day...

Edit- But on the other hand, the PC version is gonna be superior gameplay and graphics wise, But really, I'm getting sick of all the damn hackers on the PC versions of games. Thats why I left pc gaming pretty much. :/

callmedom944727d ago

Couldn't agree more. before you know it, there will be battlefield hacks on PC with aimbots and wallhacks. Meanwhile Consoles will have that not to worry about Besides smooth play. All skill is needed

I like the dreary look to the battlefield! oh yeah!

I can't wait to see water & weather effects!

t2taylor4729d ago

my fav is the 1942/1943 map

M0t0rBreath4728d ago

FYI: The pic is only concept art. The final product most likely will look very different. Very similar to what BF2 was. I hope they fix the the U.S side. Where the soldiers would get left behind on the carrier. Preferable, I would like a chanook or some sort of large air transport vehicle with high altitudes so the Jets cannot reach. Even though a server had a set rule against opposing air vehicles, U.S blackhawks and transport boats didnt stand a chance. I really hope this gets fixed

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72404d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel404d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon403d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim403d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai404d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341403d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313403d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai403d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra403d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade402d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra402d ago (Edited 402d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno403d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149403d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop403d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb402d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole403d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled403d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia530d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad530d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
