Battlefield 3: October 25th

By Jim Rossignol on June 6th, 2011 at 8:12 pm.


There’s going to be more Battlefield-related showing off from EA later, I think, but they’ve already put out a fairly impressive trailer, which you can see below. It’s out October 25th, and there will be a beta in September.

    Someone tell the folks at EA they’re stupid. They made this video to promote their game, then they pull down all copies of the video so no one can watch it until they say so. I guess sometimes you gotta be the boss even when it makes no sense.

  9. They seem to be using BF3′s overall superior quality as the main pitch. The problem with that I think is that those who play (and like) CoD don’t care about quality. I’d be happy to see them beating CoD but I doubt they will.

      Although I don’t believe that CoD people don’t care about quality, I tried some Blops this weekend – free on Steam – and I just think it pretty much sucks. I’m back to Crysis 2 for now, although BF3 sure looks good.

      I dont think anyone will argue with you there ;)

      Someone disagreed with him literally straight away, before you posted that.

      But FINE.

    holy shit. this really +1 everything else.

  13. Giaddon says:

    The best thing about the BF3 trailers is the sound distortion over the title at the end.

    EA’s site has the best quality video for this trailer: http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/videos/frostbite2-trailer

  15. InsidiousBoot says:

    BF3 sure looks awesome.

    Is it sad that the thing that impressed me the most is the smoke? It’s so pretty!

    report

  17. Phried says:

    This video just makes me sadder that I won’t be able to run it.

  18. Tancosin says:

    That guy had feet!

    report

  19. Hmm-Hmm. says:

    Hmm. That’s on my birthday. Maybe it’ll be a decent enough shooter/wargame, then?

    -edit- Whoa, Nelly! That looks rather impressive graphics-wise. One more game I can’t play unless I get a serious upgrade.
