The new GameInformer issue is out and folks have already provided scans of the article, which include plenty of great-looking screenshots. Furthermore, these details were obtained from the article:
- Aiming for Fall 2011 release
- 4 classes
- Concept for BF3 has been in the works for years, waiting on proper tech to seamlessly come together
- Frostbite 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 Bad Company 2
- Dice trying to find a good balance between customization of your character and not having “pink rabbit hat(s)”
- 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).
- Will be M rated
- PC version is lead version
- No mod tools at release.
All of this sounds pretty good to us, but we can’t help but feel a bit disappointed at having only 4 classes.


BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS



No, why are there 4 classes. ONLY 4 Classes…
I have to say that I’m a little bit disappointed right now.
But I’m sure they have found a way to make the class-system better then in BC2.

check it out….. better scans
im ok with the 4 classes. out of those 4 you get the 7 that were part of bf2. it alows for more customization instead of spreading things out. i acknowledge it takes away from the team play because you dont need to rely on 6 different people but the system works
4 classes ANNOUNCED. Not total i believe.
Collectors edition?

My comment:
WHY NO REAR SIGHTS?
They will prolly fix the no rear iron sight. U need the front and rear sights to fire the weapon accuretally. As it looks they are going for authenticy here so i’m am sure they will fix it by the time beta is out
