New Battlefield 3 Screenshots :)

WorldIsMine — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 04:08:55 +0000

Thanks to the folks of at BF-Games.net, we have some Battlefield 3 details and scans of the German GameStar magazine. This news also comes after multiple DICE/EA employees have been tweeting about how tomorrow (the 23rd) will be a big day for Battlefield 3. These were supposed to be released tomorrow, but we’re not complaining. Here’s a few details from the article:?

32 Players For Consoles – Not what was revealed in GameInformer
On a screen there was four classes and five slots for equipment – Maybe melee, secondary, primary, grenades/explosives, binoculars/special
F-16 and SU-27 seen.
“Replay Function Which Was Also included in Battlefield 2″ – Probably something similar to Battlerecorder. No details given as to whether or not this system will be on consoles as well.
Advanced surround sound, players can hear where something is coming from. 80 sound channels – Probably EAX certified
Single Player: There Will Be Quick time events where you have to push the mouse buttons to win a fight. The example here: an enemy tries to stab you with a knife and you have to defend you (knock him down / kill him)

Battlefield 3 – Endless possibilities. BF3 speculation & wish list.

WorldIsMine — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 20:18:46 +0000

The gaming community has been blessed with the recent BF3 development news. So what do we know so far? It has been announced that the game will indeed be a multi-platform port. DICE studios emphasizes that the PC community will not be hurt by this, and that the game will deliver. Much anticipation and hype is building up towards this title. (Is this the next MW2?) Battlefield 2 introduced many key features never seen before in any other FPS. No doubt DICE will have to out-do themselves and up-the-anty with their third installment. In this article we will discuss possible new features and introduce a few of our own ideas, with the hope that DICE will actually incorporate them into the final product.

Jets, jets, jets.

The Battlefield series owes a big part of its popularity to big maps and JETS. It took finesse and skill to fly these things at high speeds, and be able to accurately kill your target without much “collateral damage”. Battlefield 2 had a variety of jets but all of the fractions lacked one model I think we would all like to see. Stealth bombers. Bare with me here. Imagine a dedicated bomber that is NOT visible on radar. It would lack the AIR to AIR strike ability, but in exchange would be a superb bomber. To balance the game out they would have to be slow flying and less maneuverable. Due to the stealthiness, air fighters would not be able to lock on to it with a missile. The only way to bring it down would be with an AIR to AIR machine gun. If this seems like a silly idea well then at least give us the mighty AC-130 gunship

Get to the choppa !!

Flying any kind of chopper in BF2 was pure art form. Some members were able to “squash” their enemies with the tip of their machine gun. Killing them without firing a single bullet. In this category BF3Nation staff has 2 requests. One of them is for DICE NOT TO NERF THE CHOPPER CONTROLLS !! It took some skill to fly these things and we would like for that to stay the same. If for any reason the choppers will have the same flying characteristic as helicopters in Battlefield Bad Company 2, well then I can guarantee you massive loss of fan base. In our opinion flying is a big part of what made BF2 popular, and ruining that experience would be sacrilegious. Second request is to bring in the big dogs, the flying workhorse, the big kahuna… We are talking about the Chinook helicopter. We need a vehicle transport platform to get the equipment faster to the Battlefield. If any of you played “Joint Operations – Typhoon Rising” (by Novalogic) then you know how much fun it was to load a tank and 2 Humvee’s into the Chinook and drop them off where the action is. And just imagine how much fun it would be to blast a fully loaded Chinook off the sky. (I’m already drooling over the multiple kill screen shot)

Seat switching.

Since we are discussing everything air its time to talk about the infamous seat switching. While it was fun to do, it ruined the team play experience. It encouraged skilled players to hawk the AIR machines from them self. If you were lucky enough to grab a seat as a gunner, you would most likely be red-lined out of it. Its pure and simple. Make it so seat switching is impossible. This way more members would allow a gunner to tag along with them. As far as jets go, we had a nifty little idea of adding ejection seats. While it would not add anything to the game play, it sure would look nice to watch that seat pop in the air right before your about to deliver the final death blow.

Ground Vehicles.

Battlefield 2 had a variety of land vehicles. Not much improvement can be made here. We noticed one thing that most (if not all) of the vehicles are close range. In real world war these days its all about the distance. How about including a very popular MRLS m270 long range rocket launcher? Sounds over powering? If doesn’t have to be. It could only work with conjunction of an “military target painter”. A ground troop would have to place a device (or target with a laser) an enemy object and relay the information to the MRLS m270 driver. It would only encourage team play and bring in something new to the battlefield.

The big wide open sea.

Plenty of battles in the world take place on the sea. Its time to incorporate that into the new battlefield. Steerable gun ships that sit a few gun-manned players would be a start. Add that to an island filled map and you’ve got yourself a good game. We are not talking about having steerable air-craft carriers. Small time support vessels would do. They could provide great sea-to-land support and sea-to-sea battles.

Some random additions that could be fun.

Wind !! Add wind to the game. Have the parachute flyers be dependent on the wind direction. Its not fair to have an accurate pinpoint drop every time you exit an aircraft. With wind the drops would have to be planned and executed correctly. Wind would also apply to snipers. No longer would it be easy to snipe someone from a long distance if there was wind involved. Lets face it, snipers are a despised bunch and we should not make their life easy.

Karma/Reputation system.

Besides the points, medals & ranks there should be a honor/reputation system implemented. The reputation should be visible to all players on the map. The rep system would indicate if the individual is a team player or not. Lets say you are a notorious red-liner or a TK’er… Other players would be able to +/- your reputation for everyone else to see. The scoring system could be automatic if DICE implemented a proper algorithm to track such things. Yes there could be drawbacks of a system like this but we believe that it could work. Everyone should know who they are dealing with on the battlefield. If you are a douche that should be clearly visible to all your team members.

In conclusion.

We will continue updating this article as we have many more ideas in store. Once this discussion is finished we will e-mail a copy to DICE studios and hope they pick up on some of them. This is your time to contribute to the discussion and add any of your own ideas to the comment box below. (Comments are moderated)

Battlefield 3 box art leaked – BF3 is now confirmed. BF3N Exclusive.

WorldIsMine — Fri, 28 May 2010 03:51:03 +0000

Millions of fans that have played Battlefield 2 over the past few years have been eagerly awaiting for any news concerning the sequel to BF2. Since the infamous Battlefield 3 DigitalBattle leak in October 2007 we really have not seen any more news on the (hopefully) upcoming title. Just a few months ago CEO of DICE semi/confirmed the game being in development by saying that “Battlefield 3 will blow everyone away”. Well its been days/months/years and still nothing. But wait, there is a shiny new beacon on the horizon (well two)…

The first one is the E3 show premiering on June 15 2010 that might bring an end to the BF3 news drought.

The second sign of hope is a recently discovered “whoops”. One of our regulars have sent us a screen shot of what seems to be the box art cover for Battlefield 3. This was supposedly taken while deep scanning Battlefield home directories hosted on EA.com

Battlefield 3 box art leaked

The image points to this URL:

http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/themes/battlefield/images/bf3/boxart/battlefield3.jpg

(UPDATE: After releasing this story the link was pulled and the directory does not exist.)

WHY OH WHY MUST YOU TAUNT US EA/DICE?

So what can we tell from this screen shot? Not much. It seems that they are expecting the game to have an “M” (for Mature) rating. Could we see a BFBC2 type foul language? Gory images? Excessive blood? There is too much to speculate. Also embedded in the “3” is a single soldier who is sporting (from what it looks like) a M60 machine gun (correct me if I am wrong) The box also includes a “Game for Windows” logo which might suggest PC exclusivity (which was predicted, but fears of ports still haunt our souls)

(UPDATE #2: Just received news that the original source of this screen shot has many more of them. We will try our best to reach him and update our galleries so stay tuned)

(UPDATE #3: We are getting lots of fan mail thanks to this story and we would like to give something back to our readers. In the spirit of the “box art mayhem” BF3Nation is now holding a contest for the BEST BF3 cover creation. The grand prize is (hold your breath) 25 dollar Amazon gift card !!! So whip out your Corel / Photoshop or Windows Paint and GET TO WORK !!!

Battlefield 3 Concept Art

WorldIsMine — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 06:32:50 +0000

Our friends at Devian Art (deviantart.com) were nice enough to create a few rendered Images for us on how Battlefield 3 might look like. Our last story caused controversy as it turns out the supposed leaked images were from a Tom Clancy’s title. We are currently in process of creating more images including weapons, possible maps, vehicles and soldier models. These 3 Images below are just a taste of whats to come.

We have to somehow keep our self occupied while waiting for the game, right?

Thanks to the folks of Devian Art, we await your next batch of concept images.

Battlefield 3 Screenshots Leak?

NuXam — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:02:23 +0000

There are screenshots circulating the Internet that claim to be screenshots of the upcoming game Battlefield 3. These low quality images are supposedly taken with a phone off a PC monitor. While we are sceptical these images sure look promising. The images show multiple angles of a dog fight, a tank in a urban setting (inner city maps?), a soldier with some kind of high-tech head gear the and inside of a pilots cockpit. What to you think? Real or not? If so do they look good? Post your comments below.

EA has announced release dates for Bad Company 2.

WorldIsMine — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 04:33:15 +0000

The game will be released in Europe on 5th March. The US will get it three days earlier.

North Americas official release date: March 2nd.

Europes release date: March 5th.

The announcement was made at EA’s gamescom press conference in Cologne. Top exec Patrick Soderlund promised BF: BC2 will “redefine online multiplayer gaming”. An impressive trailer followed, complete with plenty of guns, bombs, tanks and things going bang. There is no doubt that BF:BC2 looks like a totally new game compared to the 1st release. The GFX are polished, new options added and the multiplayer looks terrific.

Don’t trust me? You be the judge. Just watch the video below provided by GameTrailers.com
