Battlefield 3 - Caspian Border Gameplay

Sean VanGorder

The guys at DICE just released a new gameplay trailer for Battlefield 3. Check it out while I pick my jaw up off the floor.

Now that's the definition of a battlefield. So much carnage!

For some reason, the most exciting thing about the trailer for me, was when the little robot bumped up against the roadblock and shook from the impact at 1:34

OMG!!

C'mon DICE. You've got the cold barrel pressed up against Call of Duty's head.


Now pull the trigger.

How can someone play COD after this? Haha , but seriously this is unbelievable, I can't even stop drooling.

The soldier walking toward the screen at the end is just amazing.

Christian Hjerpe

Amazing! Will probably buy both the PC and the PS3 version.

Battlefield and Call of duty are very different multiplayer games, I have no damn idea why people keep comparing them.
Pretty good gameplay footage, definitely looking forward.

I'm a bit disappointed by re-usage of old models without baked normal maps(memory saving?)
Intro flyover shot look very similar to what we're already seeing in BC2, so I guess there must be some radiosity rendering radius.

For those who missed it, here's Frostbite 2 engine radiosity rendering presentation:

Lachtan, as far as I know, DICE doesn't bake things due to time constraints, except for characters maybe. It really doesn't bother me.

Tom3dJay

Xoliul, I was wondering about that. I was guessing memory limits or time, like you said.

dregoloth, for some reason it's called comic relief and fits like a glove in action scenes. Do you watch movies?

I was hoping they'd use the F-22 in this one. But I'm a huge jet fan and the Su-35's will be so much fun.

Wait, They don't "Bake things" whaaaaaaaaaa~ttt!? anyway, this trailer gives me nerd shivers!

mdeforge

Holy shit this looks amazing!

Tom3dJay

@Alberto They're usually just chamfering edges on models to give it a better look, watch those models closely and you will notice.

@lachtan interesting on this no local maps , other than time and memory. I thought the local maps where to help with memory ??? what are the benefits to not having a local information if you already have to call up diffuse spec ect ..

damn this game is crazy hype.... I have to say if any of you pick this up hopefully you bring your A game when you play me...

I'd been trying really hard not to preorder because it's a waste of money but that's just torn it....
