So been looking around the internet for all the curent information on BF3, and thought i would post it in a super thread.

Battlefield 3 to feature custom dog tags:
bf3-dog-tag.jpg

it appears the game will support a new feature where players can customize their dog tags — add signatures, etch their name and display some of their stats, as you can see on the teaser image above.

New Battlefield 3 information revealed:


  • 3 game modes have so far been confirmed: Conquest, Rush and Team Deathmatch
  • Squads will hold 4 members, including squad leader
  • No kill cam (at least at E3)
  • No “commo-rose” communication command
  • Players will be able to create custom dog tags
  • Grenades and Knife are equippable like in BF2
  • New destruction allows for falling debris to kill enemies
  • Players will be able to opt out of being revived
  • New “suppressing fire” feature: players who are suppressed cannot heal and their screen blurs and darkens a bit.
  • Health bar is back. So is regenerative health.
  • New classes has the Assault with medic capabilities, Support with ammo resupply ability.
  • Faction specific weapons (USMC and Russian forces were playable at E3).
  • Machine guns can be mounted on a surface to increase accuracy.
  • Prone is back. There is no “dolphin diving”.
  • Three firing modes: Automatic, Single shot, Burst.
  • Flashlights can be mounted on select guns and can blind the enemy.
  • BF3 will have 3 times as much DLC as Bad Company 2
  • Release date on October 25 on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and later, on Mobile devices.
  • PlayStation 3 version will include free copy of Battlefield 1943
  • Will be released on the new Wii U console in 2012.


  • The game looks fantastic. Runs smooth, the lighting and details, the shadows are spectacular, whether indoor or outside. We dunno what hardware it was running on, but BF3 is absolutely gorgeous.
  • After you die, a screen pops up that shows the custom dog tag and rank of the enemy that killed you — great little detail.
  • Teams were USMC and Russians.
  • Prone is back, it feels like it takes a second or so to go prone. Not too fast, not too slow, just right.
  • The map offered a lot of variety: you can enter lots of buildings, go up to the second floor, camp etc. We already saw a few campers who loved the new buildings.
  • Destruction is extensive and a lot more detailed. Even shooting a wall looks amazing in BF3.
  • Weapons feel and sound like Bad Company 2 (on first impression), meaning they feel and sound fantastic.
  • Player animations are far better than Bad Company 2 and other Battlefield games. Very fluid and lifelike, almost as if you are watching someone run in real life.
  • The scoreboard looks a lot simpler than in Bad Company 2. We dunno if it was finalized or just alpha.
  • We had a few awards pop up during the game (ribbons) which looked a lot like those in BF2.
  • No commo rose. It wasn’t bound to the “Q” button. We looked, couldn’t find it anywhere.
  • You can op-out of being revived.
  • There is a health bar, but regenerative health is back.
  • You can select fire mode (e.g. single shot, full auto etc.)
  • 4 players per squad, squad leader is indicated by a star. Squads work pretty much like in Bad Company 2, and you still get squad point bonuses.
  • In support, you can use an M4 with a flashlight.
  • You can mount LMGs on the ground and on most surfaces, but the gun can only pan approximately 90 degrees to left and right, which feels realistic.
So far it is confirmed that Battlefield 3 will have three modes: Conquest, Rush, and Team Deathmatch. Now DICE’s Patrick Soderlund has revealed that one of the much anticipated features in Battlefield 3 — jets — will only be available in the Conquest mode. Soderlund’s reason was that only the Conquest game mode offered maps big enough to fit jets, which makes a lot of sense. The Rush mode maps are very linear where jets wouldn’t have much room nor much purpose, and Team Deathmatch is most likely an infantry-only game mode.
As previously confirmed, jets will be playable in the Battlefiled 3 singleplayer campaign.

Also just incase there are scam beta keys for bf3 going around:
We previously reported on a site which was trying to sell fake Battlefield 3 beta keys, whose owner had run other BF3 beta key sites. EA tried to take the site down with a DMCA claim that it was using BF3 artwork without authorization, but that didn’t hold up, mainly because the artwork is freely available (and is used by BF3blog, among other sites).
Our friends over at Battlefieldo.com did some digging and found several new sites that have been popping up around the web, all offering Battlefield 3 “beta keys”, including:

  • battlefield3cracked.com
  • battlefield3betafree.info
  • bf3-beta.com
  • bf3beta.com
  • bf3beta.co.cc
  • battlefield3betakeygenerator.blogspot.com
  • EA-Battlefield3.com
  • dice.bf3beta.net.tc
  • battlefield3-beta.net
All the sites feature one scam or another, trying to trick you into giving up your email address, or worse. A select few are selling direct access to BF3 beta keys, while others are offering users to download a BF3 beta key generator. And we imagine, a ton of spyware bundled with it.

About time, the number of times I've died with 20 medics trampling all over me and too lazy to revive.
