Battlefield 3 is an online shooter, which uses a brand new Frostbite 2 graphics engine to deliver probably the most life-like first-person shooter experience seen in a video game. This highly-anticipated sequel to Battlefield 2 (released many years ago) allows you to assume the role of highly-trained United States Marines and experience heart-pounding combat operations within spectacular locations for example New York, Paris, Bosnia and the Middle East.

Besides combat on the ground, vehicle combat represents an important part within this game - make use of a tank in order to blast a hole in the enemy's defence, and even call up air-support. Battlefield 3 has a single-player campaign mode, a cooperative mode, and a variety of multiplayer gameplay modes.

FEATURES:

Life-Like Combat - The incredible Frostbite 2 game engine will immerse players within the game world, which include narrow back streets, metropolitan downtowns, and open, vehicle-friendly landscapes.

Unmatched Vehicle Combat - Battlefield's critically acclaimed vehicular combat gets even better, with an impressive array of armoured cars, tanks, boats, ships, planes and helicopters available to players within single-player, cooperative and multi-player modes.

Exciting Campaign Mode - Assume the role of United States Soldier Henry Black and engage in all-out war within exotic destinations around the world. An unmatched sandbox freedom lets you approach each and every battle how you want to, as well as utilise various vehicles in these vehicle-friendly locations.

Mind-Blowing Multi-Player Modes - Participate in thrilling multiplayer gameplay that include up to 24 gamers on-line. Multiplayer options consist of Conquest, Rush, Squad Deathmatch, Squad Rush and Team/Squad Deathmatch.

Co-Op Gameplay - Two players can play co-op games online with every cooperative mission featuring a unique story and dialogue within a overall cooperative story. Co-op strategies must be employed plus players should coordinate with one another to complete objectives.

The new edition of the Frostbite 2 game engine, developed by DICE, offers these innovations:

Superior Destruction - Any destruction of buildings as well as scenery will be way more realistically portrayed. From the significant damage from a rocket assault, to the minimum destruction that is caused by bullets creating chips in a wall, this game engine provides more realistic battlefield damage.

Life-Like Soldier Animation - The innovative animation system known as ANT, employed within EA sports titles (FIFA 12), produces more realistic soldier animations. Soldiers show even more realistic body motions and responses.

Awesome New Rendering Effects - Breathtaking visual as well as lighting improvements, for example light variations inside a dark room, sunlight breaking through clouds of smoke, as well as dust particles visible within rays of sunshine are several advanced rendering effects of Frostbite 2.

Massive Scale - Within Battlefield 3 you'll battle across a number of the biggest environments ever, such as vast desert terrains and urban environments - all displayed in incredible detail.

HDR Audio - Vibrant sound produces precise, background sound effects within a variety of locations. Accurate weapon sound effects are affected by environmental factors (outdoor, indoor, size of open-space and echo factors).

Battlefield 3 is scheduled for launch from 30th Sep, 2010, with the video game to be released for these platforms: PS3, PC/Windows and Xbox 360 Consoles. This title will be published by Electronic Arts, and Digital Illusions CE (DICE) were the developers for this video game. PEGI 18 will be the official PEGI ranking for this video game, so that it will be appropriate for ages 18 and higher. The video game features multi-player support, and a maximum of 24 gamers can join in.
