Description

Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of its time with the power of Frostbite 2, the next instalment of DICE's cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York.

Features:
  • Frostbite 2 - Battlefield 3 introduces Frostbite 2, the incredible technology that takes animation, destruction, lighting, scale and audio to new heights. Built upon this powerful game engine, Battlefield 3 immerses players physically and emotionally to the world around them like never before.
  • Feel the Battle - Feel the impact of bullets and explosions, drag your fallen comrades into safety, and mount your weapon on almost any part of the terrain. Battlefield 3's cutting edge animation, spectacular visuals and real as hell battle gameplay attack your senses and make you feel the visceral warrior's experience like no other FPS.
  • Unparalleled Vehicle Warfare - The best online vehicle warfare experience gets even better with a fitting sonic boom as fighter jets headline an impressive lineup of land, air and sea vehicles. Other returning fan favourite features include 64 players for PC and prone.
  • Urban Combat - Take the fight to iconic and unexpected places in the USA, Middle East, and Europe including claustrophobic streets, metropolitan downtowns, and open, vehicle-friendly landscapes as you fight your way through the war of tomorrow.

One thing that particularly caught my eye was how they use Lighting on textures to give the effect of 3D objects (like ceramic tiles and ashphalt roads with cracks and puddles).

"This is the one!"

I can honestly say this is the primary reason why I spent $3000 on a new computer

5 stars "PC Gaming is Back!"

In a gaming world full of console shooters ported to PC, we finally get another game designed with PC gamers in mind. The Frostbite 2 engine which Epic has developed is fully optimised for PC meaning that your computer doesn't need to be top of the line to play it. 64 player max with massive maps is going to make this game an experience! Don't buy for console because consoles don't have the hardware to cope (consoles are being limited to 30fps, 24 player max, smaller maps, and less realistic effects such as lighting and smoke).

5 stars "Contender for Game of the Year for sure"

Battlefield 3 offers more than any previous Battlefield title. 64 player multiplayer, the largest maps of any Battlefield game, the return of jet fighters and a phenomenal graphics and sound engine.

"A PC game for PC gamers-"

This should be interesting. They seem to be pushing the engine in every possible direction, not just by covering everything in 7 different texture maps and flooding your viewscreen with bloom.
