B3 to be unveiled in under 8 weeks:

Electronic Arts will unveil Battlefield 3 this March.

The publisher confirmed to the media it will host an unveil event for the game on Mar. 1, 2011, taking place during the week of the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Additionally, EA says it will also have new game announcements as well as hands-on time with many upcoming titles, including: Shadows of the Damned, Alice Madness Returns, Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning, and Crysis 2.

Those who purchased the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor this past fall received an invitation to the Battlefield 3 beta. Details about the beta's release date have not been announced.

Must say I'm far more interested in this than any next version of the CoD franchise...
 
Looking forward to seeing what they will do with this but I'm not sure it'll be different enough from BC2 to invest the time in it.

I've still got around six months play left on BC2 , just hit level 39 plus all the Vietnam bits and bobs to do - Also I've hardly touched the single player mode.
 
I don't think this will be out till the end of the year tbh so plenty of time for BC2! I'm barely into the 20s in terms of ranks although I've maxed out both the Recon and Engineer classes in terms of unlocks...
 
They officially announced development over 6 months ago, so you have to assume some time had been spent on it before that anyway, so it wouldn't surprise me if we actually saw it on shelves by June-July. I'd imagine they would want it out for a Summer holidays release and it would be smart of them to not compete with a CoD franchise release, which will no doubt be towars Christmas again.

Plus MOH:LE are due beta invites, so I expect what will be on show will be playable with a beta released shortly after.
 
Wooooo! \o/ \o/ \o/

I played BF2 on ladders back in the day. UK No. 3 clan dontyaknow...

Been waiting for this for years. Lets hope theres none of the CoD health system shite, and more than 4 classes.
 
I've been die hard BF since 1942. The only games that let me down are 2142 and the original Vietnam expansion. DICE have my trust since they came out with the Desert Combat mod for '42. The original badass game. This hopefully should get my juices flowing just as BFBC2 has.

What clan were you in? I was =PxR= and then =[WoW]= when the former died on it's arse :)
 
Couldn't agree more, why my son and his mates go gaga over cod always surprises me when bf gives you tanks,copters and also HUGE maps....

Having trouble keeping up though, still playing BC1.

One thing I'd like in the game is to be able to set waypoints that your squad can see, some kind of "waypoint gun"

Yeah I like that, although on the 360 you can direct people's attention to checkpoints, I'd like some way of calling everyone, not just your squad to help you if you're under fire...
 
That's what I miss about the commander role that was in BF2. You could tell which squads to go where and co-ordinate the attacks. Was blinding in clan matches as you would have each squad leader on a dedicated channel in Teamspeak as well as the visual cues.

we were called Elite Warriors (terrible I know) and the tag was [Ew]. I forget what ladders we were on, although it wasn't CAL as none of us liked the small scale match format. I'm afraid I don't remember you guys. The top guys on our ladder were [M] if memory serves, we never managed to beat them, but the most insanely difficult match I was in was up against team dignitas, who wiped the floor with us in 5 minutes! They were professional though.
 
Looking forward to this, unlocked pretty much all weapons in BBC2 now, only got ranking up and some medals left to do...!

Aye, same here. Just need to get the M95 on the Recon class and I am done! A few medals left and 112,000 points to get before my next rank though!
 
Yeah I have the last medic unlock left...still only rank 24 so plenty of way to go before becoming General. :D
 
I imagine the New York map is going to be epic. Sniper heaven with all those tall buildings though!

They are releasing a map called Back to Karkand as well :cool:
 
I loved the bombers in BF2. Instant death for anyone caught with their ass in the wind at a flag. Plus those poor unsuspecting tanks. The fighters were only good when you came up against someone else using a mouse and keyboard. If you had some 13 year old in a J-10 with a joystick then you were fucked. I really liked the choppers too, had a lot of fun in clan matches with those.

The choppers in BFBC2 are only good when you have a decent pilot and gunner who can actually talk to each other. Most people still have no idea that the Hellfire can lock onto a tracer dart. And that if you have the Alt Weapon package as the gunner, you can fire tracer darts. Fantastic in a dogfight with another chopper.

I got pretty good in tanks though.

Koff koff...yeah I er didn't know that until you mentioned it the other night while playing...just didn't put two and two together, nor did I realise you could heal copters while riding in them! :D
 
Heh don't worry about it mate, I didn't know you could heal UAV's by fixing the control console thing...!
