People called me crazy when I stated that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was better than the latest Call of Duty, but it seems that everyone’s starting to come around on that point. DICE simply makes an amazing shooter, and knows that the right combination of strong campaign and team-based multiplayer makes for the perfect package.
Battlefield 3 was already looking great, but the videos coming out of E3 this week are astonishing. DICE is being incredibly smart here- they know that showing actual gameplay is way more impressive than some loud and crazy cutscenes (ahem, Modern Warfare 3) and they’re cramming our eyesockets full of that good stuff.
First up is a look at some tank combat, which shows that famous destruction quite nicely.
If you’re wondering what exactly DICE’s new Frostbite 2 engine is up to, this trailer will demonstrate what they focused on and how this will be one of the best-looking shooters ever made. (Crysis 2, are you going to take that?)
Finally, feast your eyes on this multiplayer trailer, set in and around a subway system.
Battlefield 3 hits stores October 25th.

That’s a bingo!
By the way, I agree on the BC2>MW2 statement.
Ok. That does look fucking amazing. Shame it won’t look this good on a console.
Last one I played was Bad Company 1…. wasn’t impressed. Graphics are one thing, gameplay is another.
I agree with NickP. I have serious issues with the controls, the way the gun wiggles in the avatar’s hands like its a fish trying to wiggle it’s way to freedom. Also, no crouch? Please.
That said, I’m sure that Dice has fixed most of these problems and I’m looking forward to playing it. I love Call of Duty but this game is blowing me away. This might be the year to hang the Duty up.
Agreed, to an extent. I never played the second but the hit detection in the first one was poor. Otherwise I enjoyed it quite a bit although I prefer the best of CoD(4 and Black Ops) and BF2 to Bad Company 1 anyway.
Never played BC1, but BC2 is a great game.
Never played any of these games, but that looks AMAZING. So, I guess that’s running on a top-of-the-line PC?
In my opinion BC2 improved on BC1. They are pretty close in game play, but I found the controls worked better for me.
You could crouch in BC2, but no prone. Looking at the vids that have been released, it looks like you can now go prone in BF3.
