White Knight Chronicles "awakening soon"
Dead Space arriving in Europe earlier than expected
Max Payne theatrical trailer releasedAccording to DigitalBattle.com, a tipster left a mysterious PDF in their mailbox, which explores new features EA and DICE plan to implement in Battlefield 3.
Apparently this PDF was meant for investors only, and there is no word yet from EA or DICE on this PDF's legitimacy.
Here are the list of details outlined in the PDF file:
* Release in late 2008
* Powered by Frostbite DX (Direct X compatable?)
* Set in year modern day
* 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
* In-game replay and recording feature
* VoIP, friends list, in-game IM-client and extensive clan support
* Built-in auto software updater
* Widows Vista and OS X
* Announcement and teaser trailer in January 2008.
If the new Battlefield is running on the Frostbite engine, players can probably expect to see the game on more than just PC.
With a supposed announcement in January along with a teaser trailer, we will see if this news is true or not. Until then, stay tuned to PSU for any updates.

Next: TimeSplitters 4 officially announced While we all knew it was coming, TimeSplitters 4 has now been "officially" announced. That's right - we can expect even more "crazy characters, devas... |
Sounds feasible. I really like the up to 40-players per team aspect and the game looks real good so far.
How large is the chance of it appearing on the PS3?
windows vista? holy crap how about xp? vista sucks hard? T_T
psn id: gingo.... i cant imagine someone siting there and making something like this up so it sounds as this could be reliable information
it's just for pc now, so who cares. besides that "EA sucks"!
Does that mean 80 players on a single map?
Sucks that it's ONCE AGAIN middle eastern urban setting in modern day war. Sorry, but this is becoming the new WWII game genre. How about some semi-futuristic type of time period? How about jungle/arctic/woods/etc. type locations?
All this is, is what BF2 SHOULD have been. This sucks. Guess I have to wait till PS4 and the new Windows before the REAL follow-up to BF2.
Ok who gives a rats ar** about a PC games. I thought this was PS dedicated site.
@Organic - BF 2142?
I do agree though, mid east is the new WWII. I would love to see a game like this with but set in Major cities.
Well I think it would be unethical to not have b3 on a console....BDA
sounds like every other big game coming out.
Apart from it stating it'll have squad based gameplay, it doesn't give any indication for a single player campaign. Sounds like a multiplayer PC game.
"Vista and OS X"
Are people still using Mac OS?
sounds good! expept it would be nice if the classes were more deep instead of recycling the same ones from Modern Combat.
I think i am going to get battlefield bad comany instead this will be good though
viasta and os x? That'll be cool, I'm getting a new powerbook in a few months
