MLG adds Battlefield 3 to game lineup

user posted image

MLG (Major League Gaming), one of the biggest professional gaming leagues in the world, has officially added Battlefield 3 to the list of competitive games. The outfit opened the gates for Battlefield 3 team registration on all three platforms: PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The tournament will be set up in the familiar “ladder” mode, where teams play each other and those at the top of the ladder advance to the playoffs, where, eventually, a winner is crowned. If you’re interested, you can register your team here.

The Battlefield 3 MLG roster is limited to 16 players per team, and must have at least 4 members. Matches will be played on best of 3 maps and maps must be selected randomly. You can check out the full set of rules here.

Battlefield 2 had a rich history in the competitive gaming world, and was played in many leagues and tournaments all over the globe. With MLG vouching for Battlefield 3 this early, it’s a great sign of trust for Battlefield 3 in the tournament world.



Dice On Battlefield 3 Single Player: ‘Wed Rather Have 6 Hours Of Awesome Than 12 Hours Of Meh’

Dice has today been revealing some details about the length of Battlefield 3′s single player, claiming that it is slightly longer than Modern Warfare 2′s.

In a recent interview with VG247 Dice’s David Goldfarb said;

QUOTE
“I would say it’s a pretty decent length, it’s not Skyrim, but it’s not three hours, or anything like that.”

When asked to compare it to Modern Warfare 2 he replied;

“I’d say it was probably slightly more than that. Based on our play-times it’s probably more than that, but it’s not twice as long. But, again, we’ll see. When you play it on hard difficulty, it’ll take a lot more time.

It’s all about making sure the experience is as awesome as possible, I’d rather have six hours of awesome than 12 hours of ‘meh’.”





Battlefield 3 EOD Bot , Micro UAV and lots more!

As more and more people spend time with Battlefield 3 at PAX, more details are being released about the game.

Today we have some details regarding the many gadgets that are present in the game including the EOD Bot, Micro UAV, and Radio Beacon courtesy of Battlefieldo.com.

You can check out the details below.

QUOTE
EOD Bot

- Can be placed on the ground
- Player switches to camera view on EOD Bot
- Capable of Arming/Defusing MCOMS
- Can repair vehicles or torch players/vehicles

Radio Beacon

- Acts as a spawn point
- Model looks like a little radio
- Can be placed anywhere

Micro UAV

- Is thrown onto the ground
- Play switches to UAV Camera
- can push the EOD Bot around
- Used for spotting enemies
- No Weapons but to be added?

Radar Beacon

- Can be placed on the ground
- Scans area for enemies
- Only available to Recon Class

Smoke Grenades

- Could be used to cover a choke point entirely
- Should be used to hide a wave of EOD Bots attacking.

A list of new details on Battlefield 3's Co-op, confirmation of PS3 beta

DICE product manager Tommy Rydling talked about a few components of the co-op aspect of Battlefield 3 today on the European Official PlayStation Blog. Here's what he had to say:
QUOTE
* Missions in co-op are "for the most part" asymmetric. One example given is that one mission can have you piloting a helicopter, while your friends is the gunner. Another example was one player disarming a bomb, while the other  player defends him or her.
* Players will play as soldiers that are not tied to any particular branch of the Armed Forces, a decision made to allow for greater flexibility and variety in co-op
* After you and your teammate clear a co-op mission, your total combined score will be displayed via Battleblog
* Co-op missions are designed to be shorter than single player, in order to make it easier for players to challenge multiple rounds in the same sitting and to encourage competing with friends for high scores
* Difficulty for co-op is mentioned as "high"
* All co-op missions will contain randomized elements, to "keep every playthrough fresh"
* You'll be able to unlock weapons in co-op that can then be used in the regular multiplayer modes. Unlocks are based on your combined scores accumulated throughout the co-op campaign
* Finally, the PlayStation 3 Open Beta for Battlefield 3 will begin next month (September)

Battleblog #9: Online vehicle warfare refined

The Battlefield series has always been about the perfect mix of infantry and vehicle warfare. Battlefield 3 is no different. Read on for the full story on our deep vehicle customization and refined gameplay mechanics that will change how you play the game.

user posted image

As you can see in our Caspian Border gameplay trailer, the skies in Battlefield 3 will be filled not only with helicopters, but with roaring fighter and attack jets as well. No matter if you want to transport your troops quickly to the current hot spot on the battlefield, if you want to engage in high G dogfights, or take out enemy tanks with laser guided missiles – there’s a flying vehicle in Battlefield 3 that lets you do the job in style.

With over 20 drivable vehicles in multiplayer spread over 12 classes, you will find your personal favorite whether you prefer to fly above the battlefield or stay on solid ground. Some of the vehicle classes include armored transports, infantry fighting vehicles, main battle tanks, scout helicopters, attack helicopters, fighter jets, and attack jets. Whatever your choice, we let you fine tune almost every vehicle in Battlefield 3 to fit your play style, the current map, and the current situation.

Deeper, bigger, tactical vehicle customization
Vehicle customization is much bigger, deeper, and more tactical in nature than in previous Battlefield games. With over 80 unlockable specialization upgrades spread over the different vehicle classes, there is plenty of room for you to tailor your rides to fit your needs. Each customizable vehicle class has three unlock slots: one secondary weapon slot, one gadget slot, and one upgrade slot. By playing a vehicle class and getting kills with it, you gradually unlock more specializations for that particular vehicle class.

Vehicle customization in Battlefield 3 is just as deep and tactical as the weapon customization showcased here on the blog last week. For every choice you make in vehicle customization, you are effectively gearing up for a specific combat role and leaving something else out. In the Russian fighter jet, do you go with anti-air missiles to dogfight enemy air targets, or would you rather mount a handful of laser guided air to ground missiles as your secondary weapon to harass opposing tanks? Do you equip it with IR flares to avoid missiles, or would you rather take your chances with the fire extinguisher in case you get hit

Our most dynamic vehicle warfare ever
We are making sure vehicle warfare in Battlefield 3 is even more dynamic than before. That’s why we are introducing two new tactical gameplay concepts affecting how vehicle damage and repairs are handled.

Imagine that your tank is hit by an RPG in Battlefield 3. As the first warnings go off, this is your time as Commander of the tank to assess the danger of the situation – do you push on towards your goal regardless, or do you abort and take evasive action? If you back up and take cover, you give yourself a chance to let the vehicle armor recover, just like your soldier heals up when going into cover.

This is a new feature in Battlefield 3 where lightly damaged vehicles recover their armor after a set amount of time (if kept away from enemy fire). Instead of promoting a gung-ho attitude at all times, this means that the driver who keeps his cool and adapts to any given situation will also be able to keep his vehicle in working order for longer. It is basically our way of giving smart non-Engineers a fighting chance to keep his vehicle in the battle.

Past a certain damage threshold, vehicles will not recover armor. And with heavy damage comes the horrifying and adrenaline-inducing experience of having one’s vehicle disabled. In the case of the tank, it would slow to a crawl. Fire and smoke would signal that it is in dire need of manual repairs, and that it is only a matter of time before it explodes. But here’s the beauty of the new system: Its weapons will still be functioning, turning this into a high risk situation that can play out in a number of ways.

Patrick “Posh” O’Shaughnessy is Lead Vehicle Designer on Battlefield 3:
-- Battlefield 2 was the first game I worked on at DICE as a designer, so finally building the vehicles for the sequel is very exciting! I think the ability to kit out your favorite vehicle depending on the situation combined with the new dynamics we’ve added to vehicle damage and repairs makes for a lot of interesting choices for players.

In our daily playtests here at DICE, you will often find a disabled tank in the field with Engineers scrambling to repair it, while its crew is still operating the main cannon and auxiliary machine gun to keep enemy forces at bay. If repairs go well, the tank gets back to full working order and the crew has narrowly escaped a disaster. If not, at least they had a fighting chance, while the disabled vehicle itself made a tempting target leading to more intense multiplayer action.

There's plenty of open-ended vehicle warfare in the single player campaign as well. This shot is from the single player mission Thunder Run, shown at this year's E3.

Subtle game-changers
The powerful trio of vehicle disabling, armor recovery, and manual field repairs complement each other to refine the multiplayer game. Disabling means you no longer have to chase a vehicle that’s low on health to repair it. In a way, the repair tools are the new defibrillators, bringing a vehicle back into the fight from the brink of death. Also, regenerating armor means non-Engineers stand a greater chance at keeping their vehicle in the fight. Still, nothing will beat a well-trained squad of soldiers where Engineers help keep their vehicle in prime fighting condition.

The new vehicle customization and gameplay refinements in Battlefield 3 are subtle game-changers. Add them to our already proven rock/paper/scissors formula and you have the recipe for our most dynamic and exciting online warfare experience ever.
