Its Battlefield....

[cyborg47]

sorry for typo in the thread name, could'nt control the excitement...how do I change it???

this!!!!!

[himadri_sm]

contact a mod

[cyborg47]

^^ yeah I did.

[Ethan_Hunt]

Title corrected. Carry on guys.

[vickybat]

Really amazing stuff. Frostbite 2 is truly showing its power. Will be a card killer i guess.

[NVIDIAGeek]

DAMMMM!!!!!!! More excitement than Crysis 2! Them visuals look phenomenal. Better than Crysis 2, yeah, it's better. Can't wait for March 1st. Multiplayer!!!

[vickybat]

Crysis 2 has better textures and settings than battlefield 3. Though the latter is war themed, the former is more sci-fi. So each settings suits better to each game.

[hellknight]

I do not want to upgrade my card (Palit GTX 260 Sonic Edition).. but looking at this game, I think that I'll have to by the end of this year..

[abhidev]

This looks awesome........stunning visuals and hope so will be the gameplay...

[asingh]

Looks extremely CLEAN for some reason.

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

i think crysis 2 just lost its GOTY title...

go battlefield 3!!!!!!!!! :glass-jumping:

[JojoTheDragon]

You should've seen the mp maps of BC2. They are also extremely clean. I think its the new BF trend now. Looks awesome.

[cyborg47]

the only time i played bc2 was the beta...for a week, and man..what a game!!!!

[vickybat]

^^ Good from a multiplayer aspect. But single player campaign is a far cry from games like crysis 2. Same rule holds true for battlefield 3. But must say that frostbite 2 engine is giving out some amazing visuals previously unseen. Crysis 2 and this will lock horns in terms of visual fidelity.

[NVIDIAGeek]

FB2.0 has much better animation system than Crysis 2. If you were a layman and saw the BF3 trailer you'll never think it's a game, Crysis 2 feels like a game. IDK why maybe because the trailers of Crysis 2 were on consoles or something, but this trailer's from PC! Darn! This game's gonna kick arse soooo baaaaad!!

Y'all need to see this: BF3 Trailer Analysis (the highest rated comment speaks truth)

[JojoTheDragon]

FB2.0 vs CE3 fight will never end. So stop bragging about both. Let the games release and then make your verdict.

possible. That could be the pc dx11 footage, and most of the c2 trailers were from consoles, so cant judge anything rite now.
Not talking about the FB 2.0's animation engine(borrowed from EA games) though, thats all next gen baby!

And speaking of DX11, this is the only game truly being developed on DX11. There's no DX9 or WinXP support. Just DX10 and DX11. Hoping to see some crazy-ass tessellation.

go battlefield 3!!!!!!!!! :glass-jumping:

Well.. this can be a solid contender to the GOTY title too..

[cyborg47]

^^its fake!...dont get too excited!

All is not as it appears; according to a statement from Activision, this year’s Call of Duty is not yet revealing itself. Comments a spokesperson for the publisher: “There seems to be a great deal of speculation about the next Call of Duty project. Let me be clear that we are not revealing yet. Anything indicating otherwise is a hoax.”

A hoax? Now who’d be the one to to benefit from something like that?

cod is meh!...
