v-22-osprey-battlefield-3

Confident video gaming corporate juggernaut Electronic Arts is preemptively taking Textron Inc. and its Texas bases subsidiary Bell Helicopter to US Federal court in California in an attempt to convince the court to rule in favor of allowing them to continue using images of Textron’s weapons and aircraft such as the V-22 Osprey and AH-1Z Viper to promote their video game BF3 without having to pay any licensing or royalty fees to Textron itself. The lawsuit is a result of negotiations which recently broke down between the two corporations, with [...]

Theatrical Battlefield 3 Launch Trailer Drops

bf3-launch-trailer

Earlier this afternoon EA pushed over our way the latest Battlefield 3 trailer in build up to the game’s final launch early next week. This launch trailer takes a more dramatic and cinematic storyline based approach as it delves into the game’s plot and premise of the single player campaign. Rather unimaginatively enough, of course it’s the same old story revolving around terrorism, Iran, and nuclear threats.

More Leaked Battlefield 3 Gameplay Footage

bf3-jet-gameplay

For all those BF3 fans out there you’ll want to take a quick peak at the following 3 videos showing off some leaked Battlefield 3 gameplay footage because it is quite possible it won’t remain online for very long (or at least not at these video addresses). It’s apparently from the single player campaign version of the game on the Xbox 360 leaked by someone who got their hands on a developer copy of the game. While they’re all fairly low quality you can still check out the videos below [...]

Battlefield 3 Operation Guillotine teaser target Tehran

bf3-operation-guillotine-tehran

Just moments ago EA DICE have released a new short and very noisy gameplay teaser showing off some new footage from the BF3 single-player mission Operation Guillotine, they have also promised more footage for next week around Friday to be precise. It seems tick for tack that BF3 is always releasing new media either closely before or after COD MW3 ever does. The race is heating up as the release date approaches, EA/DICE announced earlier this week they had hit 1.25 million pre-orders already! That’s pretty incredible stuff if I [...]

Battlefield 3 – Physical Warfare Pack gameplay trailer

bf3-type88-lmg

A couple hours ago EA launched a new action packed BF3 trailer showing off some of the content available in the Physical Warfare DLC Pack. The Physical Warfare pack of course is basically a sales gimmick to try and encourage more pre-orders (as if they even needed to do that) which unlocks and includes a new weapon, a rifle accessory, some shotgun ammo, and the Back to Karkand map on launch day. You get the Type 88 LMG, a flash suppressor for the SKS sniper rifle, and some armour-piercing flechette [...]

battlefield-battlelog

New details and screenshots are emerging rapidly as EA and Dice are convinced that their new Battlelog system will encourage people to play even more!

It brings all of the social aspects of Battlefield into a single location, allowing [...]

Can BF3 Frostbite2 Really Simulate Earthquakes in Multiplayer ?

battlefield3earthquake

Battlefield 3 developer DICE says they’re “looking into it”. After seeing all those fancy BF3 trailer videos featuring earthquakes knocking over buildings and ripping rifts through the asphalt and roads, I think it’s safe to say everyone’s been thinking the same thing, how cool would it be if that could actually happen in real time in multiplayer with your fellow brothers in arms experiencing it with you? While I’m not aware of any “earthquake simulator” games out there yet, although I’m sure the guys who brought us street cleaning simulator [...]

DICE has no plans on releasing mod tools for BF3

bf3frostbite2

Even though it may come across as somewhat patronising to many of their loyal fans, DICE’s Patrick Söderlund has said that there are currently no plans to release any modding tools for the upcoming Battlefield 3 with the being that apparently they think the Frostbite 2 game engine is supposedly “too big of a challenge” for the would be modders out there. Söderlund went on to explain to claim that the destructible environments and what not would make modding BF3 too “tricky”.

Battlefield 3 promo just keeps pouring it on (E3 2011)

battlefield3tank

Without a doubt the best proper in game footage of the upcoming Battlefield 3 (BF3) that we’ve seen so far. EA/Dice have dropped three new videos on to YouTube since the start of E3 2011. As usual, they are mint. Does anybody know who/whom is producing/editing all these BF3 teaser videos? The guy(s) is definitely good and building himself quite the rep if he keeps this up! They are truly owning it up in the in-game footage department for BF3 and the latest Frostbite engine is looking pretty pretty good! [...]

Battlefield 3 – Behind the Scenes Developer Interviews

battlefield3-back-to-karkad

Yesterday EA uploaded a 17 min special behind-the-scenes episode of one of their in house funded online gaming shows called “PWNED_” (oooookay! don’t worry I had never heard of it before either!) which obviously is presented by a cute blonde girl (hey! we’re not complaining! we understand the marketing!). Anyways, this episode takes a look at the upcoming Battlefield 3 title being developed by DICE and due for release on PC and Console this fall 2011.

Fancy New Battlefield 3 Trailers – “My Life” | “Fault Line”

Kick-the-Doorbf3

Hot off the press, EA has released another Battlefield 3 teaser trailer called “My Life”. It’s heavily edited and very fast, including some extremely brief yet mouth watering new footage towards the end apparently showing a war torn city with fully collapsing buildings, base-jumping, fighter jets, and even a tank battle! Apparently this isn’t the full “My Life” trailer though, they’ve created a Facebook app which requires 1 million LIKE’s before the 12 minute “full length with developer commentary” version is unlocked. Gotta love EA’s marketing machine! Damn effective! Anyways, [...]
