Battlefield 3???

A tipster sent us PDF document which looked like an outline of features for Battlefield 3. The three page document is apparently prepared for investors which should get it by December of this year. It details basic features of BF3, and are as listed:

Release in late 2008
Powered by “Frostbite DX”
Set in year modern day (just like BF2, ed.)
Will ship with 8 maps, each supporting up to 40-players per team
Two playable factions, NATO and MEC (Middle Eastern Coalition)
Same “ticket-based” gameplay style as before
Maps are mostly urban, based in Middle East
Squads and Commanders are present, introduced are “Battalions” which consist of three to four squads.
Five playable classes; Sniper, Assault, Engineer, Medic and Support
Will feature 48 different vehicles (24 for each faction)
Will feature 34 different weapons (17 for each faction) and another 22 unlocks (for both factions), in total 56 different weapons.
Other unlocks include different types of ammunition, body armor, helmets, camouflage and accessories.
Possible public beta in “Summer 2008″
Online stats tracking, awards and “real world ranks”
“Soldier” feature, looks like MMO-styled characters and avatars
Ranked servers will be available for resellers weeks before the game ships (for testing, apparently, ed.)
In-game replay and recording feature
VoIP, friends list, in-game IM-client and “extensive clan support”
Built-in auto software updater (no more patches!, ed.)
Widows Vista and OS X (no XP?!, ed.)
Announcement and teaser trailer in January 2008.
A map is mentioned by name, called “Baghdad Burning”, and appears to be a massive urban map, similar to BF2’s very popular “Strike at Karkand”. The game is powered by “Frotbite DX”, currently the Frostbite engine is used in Battlefiled: Bad Company on PS3 and Xbox 360. The “DX” could refer to DirectX (10?), a PC version of the Frostbite engine.

Please note that none of this is confirmed, we’ve emailed a few people from EA and DICE (Battlefield developers) and will update the article as soon as we know more. Also note that we cannot, for obvious (legal) reasons, release the PDF document. Stay tuned for more info.

if it's true, i think BF2 fans will be happy since it'll be reverting to the old system consisting of the 5 kits. but if all that is true, i'm deadmeat. why VISTA?!?! it's not supposed to be stable yet. pls come out with XP. i love my XP

btw in the fifth update of that website the representative for DICE kinda hinted that hell yea but you all gotta wait till we say it officially.

sian diao la the imba aerial vehicles will be back again with lime pwning

I got Vista but i wanna change back to XP...cause my ram/processor speed not powerful enough for Vista...

Technically, nothing is "powerful" enough for Vista yet. As in, all the hardware and software out now performs better on XP.

dont want it on vista =(..... vista is just too slow and isnt even properly updated yet.... altho game sure sounds as its gonna be amazing =D

Summer Is Almost Here !! And theres stil lno news T_T sad...

summer is june right..

yeh.. the june-July period.. Summer starts around 3rd of june i think =X

are we going to move over there?

depends on when the game is coming out. hopefully those of us going to uni will still have time to play once in a while. but if it's only vista then most probably i'll wait longer

when the game comes.. we will transit over most prob.. no confirmation of details yet as we will have to see the situation then..

Hmm.. i don't think they will shoot themselves in their foot by just limiting the game to vista...
