Battlefield 3 details leaked?
Posted on Wednesday, 10 October 2007 by Ryuken, source: DigitalBattle
Gaming news site DigitalBattle has received a .pdf document from a tipster detailing the features of Battlefield 3.
Here are the features:
EA nor DICE want to make comments about this rumour but they do own the battlefield3.com site adress (but that seems only logical).
The document was apparently made for investors. To be honest, if this all proves to be true then this feature-set sounds more like a step back in some regards when you compare it to Battlefield 2.
Here are the features:
* 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 Frostbite DX, currently the Frostbite engine is used in Battlefield: Bad Company on PS3 and Xbox 360. The DX could refer to DirectX (10?), a PC version of the Frostbite engine.

I just got this in my email!

If anyone gets PCGamer, there was a statement of "Stay tuned for the next issue, you won't want to miss it!" Ha! This is awesome, also the graphics in the background are not from the game, an actual soldier.
A few points:
- "Our spies tell us..." That's a good sign.
- The new engine will be expanding on the current frostbite one (exploding buildings and long view distances.)
- MEC and NATO forces verified
- Ranks, Commanders, the good 'ole stuff!
