O Glory! BF3 is on the way 
I havent really played any FPS since i stopped playing BF2 a few years ago but just had a look at my screenshots folder from the good ole days of BF2. Oh my there were some epic moments in that game, nothing has really got close since tbh and i really really hope BF3 lives up to our expectations. Ive been putting off getting a new pc especially for this game.
Some memories:
- Jihadi jeeping - but doing it properly so you survive
- Jihadi jeeping - but watching some psycho in a quad speeding towards you laden with C4 while you frantically hammer away at him in your APC
- The lovely wonderful sound of an engineer fixing your damaged tank
- Flying around in the blackhawk capping flags with mates in vent, sometimes it was just perfect
- that feeling when you sneak up on a sniper from behind 'SCREENSHOT' - KNIFE - TEABAG (screenshot)
- trying to get to sleep after a particularly intense evening...
pleasepleaseplease let BF3 be as good as BF2

my best memory - screaming round Wake Island as china in two Jeeps with a full squad, denying the US team from keeping a single point for the entire game and getting accused of hacking four times ^_^
Those were the days. please please please let BF3 be better

I would also like some sort of rep points for squad play. Not for ranking or unlocks but just so you know that the guys in your squad play like a team.
Looks like no commander mode this time around, 4 classes, Jet speeds are being tuned to make them better fit the gameplay\map size, possibility of a demo function and the possiblity of mod tools further down the line. Info taken from those scans i linked above

◦Aiming for Q4 2011 release
◦Concept for BF3 has been in the works for years, waiting on proper tech to seamlessly come together
◦Frosbite 2.0 is the culmination of this tech, entirely re-written
◦Lighting sounds neat, one “probe” contains more lighting information than an entire BFBC2 level.
◦Level destruction is going to be “believable” but basically everything is destructible.
◦Character animations powered by ANT, what EA Sports uses.
◦AI characters and multiplayer characters have different animation sets
◦No more “gliding” animations that look off, animation realism is a focus
◦Captured their own war audios (bullets, tanks, helicopters, etc) at different distances to ensure realism
◦Better audio cues for certain actions, more easily able to listen for threats
◦Plan on better, more immediate post release content
◦More unlocks than BFBC2
◦Dice trying to find a good balance between customization of your character and not having “pink rabbit hat(s)”
◦4 classes
◦Will talk about squads “later”
◦Looking into a theater mode but can’t talk about it
◦Will have co-op
◦There will be a kill-cam but it can be turned off
◦BF3′s team is almost twice as big as the team for BFBC2
◦They want the pacing of the single player mode to be balanced, with highs and lows. Makes the comparison to a song vs a guitar solo.
◦Part of the single player mode takes place in Sulaymaniyah – Iraqi Kurdistan.
◦“****” will be used often, so M rated for sure
◦There will be an earthquake in a level. The destruction sounds very impressive. 7 story building collapses, looks very well done
◦Significant narrative that goes with the SP mode
◦More than one setting, you’re not in the middle east for the whole game
◦PC version is lead version
◦Why 64 players for PC only? No complains from the console crowd.
◦No mod tools at release. Maybe none down the line either. Frosbite 2.0 is complex and mods tools would have to be dumbed down, so does Dice really want to put their time to that or would it be better spent elsewhere?
◦Original story, not based on Bad Company at all.

<3 thanks.
When March rolls around with the hype building towards this reveal, its almost guaranteed they release a video showcasing the gameplay gameinformer just previewed. Looking forward to see this building collapse they were so impressed with.

why cant the unlock feature just DIE already.
Because apparently consoletards get turned on if they read on the box the word 'unlocks'.
Soldato
Because it gives you something to work towards when you play?
Yet bf2 started it?
I like unlocks though, it makes people sue the different guns and try them all out rather than just pick the spamiest straight away.
Tbh i'd probably not use recon as much (or maybe have ended up as a m95 whore) if i hadn't been made to use the vastly superior m24, and now more the sv98 as i'm needed the extra mag size because i'm living longer/longer runs.

I just found full scans from the game informer magazine (Including all the text to read through). I'll upload them now.

Missed it D:
