So this will be a BF2+ mod for BF Bad Company 2?

Anything different besides 'new graphics' and 'you can blow up walls'?

@satn Actually, I hope it's more (BF2 + BC2 engine) and less (BF2 - (everything hardcore gamers love about the BF series)). I haven't read any in-depth articles, so maybe I'm worrying about nothing, but if the Commander feature goes away, or if there is more consolized movement in the BC2 direction, I'll be really disappointed. BF2 with a new coat of paint, some balance improvements, and a cooler progression system is really all I want.

Jets now? Why do I have a feeling the player caps going to be raised to 32 again?

Either way this games going to be Epic

@PlatinumSkeet

It has been confirmed that the PC version will indeed have 64 players (check the official website).

It is however unconfirmed the number of console players, I assume it will be around 32 or perhaps less.

I am however totally psyched that BF3 is indeed following the BF2 roots on the PC.

Console-Version has 24-player-cap for multiplayer
(according to gamestar.de who are reffering to the official homepage http://www.ea.com/battlefield3)

can't wait.... playing Bad Company 2 for nearly a year now and it's still awesome. no more shooter without destructible environment.

@pedasn Only 24 players for consoles? Lame. Hopefully they atleast give console users the ability to host their own servers like Star Wars Battlefront and Section 8 did.

Shame on DICE for not calling it 'Battl3field' or 'Battlefi3ld'. Not buying it now.

He's getting downvoted for the truth? Seriously, if they had an old man in a rocking chair describe the game in 2000 words that would be more exciting than this trailer.

@Ballistic H *sighs*

Are you F'ing serious? Must I REALLY be so specific? You really are not capable of filling in the obvious blanks?

CLEARLY I understand that this is a "teaser" trailer - AS INDICATED BY THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE.

Calling it a "teaser" does NOT make it any more exciting. IT STILL SUCKED.

F'ing idiot troll.

By the way. Look around and you'll find that MOST PEOPLE were pretty disappointed in the trailer.

*thinks*

Wait. My bad. Since you won't know what item I'm referring to unless I'm specific... "TEASER TRAILER".

Yeah. Word on the internet is that IT SUCKED. Even for a TEASER TRAILER.

Maybe for the dollar that YOU pay, YOU ought to learn to EXPECT MORE. After all... It is people like ME who've played 8 of the franchise's games and put more dollar bills into the ALREADY FAT WALLET the company has.

You're damn right I expected more. AS WE ALL SHOULD.

Everywheres saying it supports 64 players on PC along with some other listed details. I still can't find a source for it but i really hope the PS3 doesnt get a shoddy port from the Xbox development. Im hoping they use the PS3 to its max potential much like they're doing with the PC for this title, this game deserves to be a stunning as possible.

@Red Deer Welp, from the sound of it, you could use a gaming PC. Oh and BTW, you got me on the 64 player debate in that thread yesterday... Technically. You being a PS3 owner, it sounds like you're only getting 24.

@Jack Kevorkian Agreed. Prone = camping mode. Also dolphin diving if done wrong.

To those who say "herp real life soldiers go prone all the time derp", my reply is "how fast can they sprint while prone?"

If you're not moving, you're camping.
