Battlefield 3 Announced - Jets and 64 Player Multiplayer

Didn't people played Joint Ops on 56k/64ISDN when it was released? And didn't it had 128 player maps? It seems to me we are going backwards, not forward.
Also, didn't BF2 had a enemy spotting setting? So after a dumbed down version of Battlefield (Bad Company 2), we are getting a somewhat inferior product than what we already had before and must feel good about it?

This sounds good.

Will a 384kb line be able to handle a online 64 player first person shooter game?

prob not,my BFBC2 ping was usaully at around 200ms when i still had a 384kb line when the server was full.BF3 will use the same engine as BFBC2 with more players so you will probably need a faster line.

Guess it depends on which server you play...I've been playing with shaped and unshaped 384 line without any ping problems (mostly when servers are full) - normally getting 50-80ms;

The engine has been tweaked and updated.

Read that article, PC version is main focus. Consoles versions are ported from it, not the other way around.

Never, I have 9 months to work out a plan. I still got the wireless keyboard and mouse in a cot, as plan A

I am not giving up without a fight.....
 
Herd that buildings wont break apart as in BFBC2 which causes me not to be interested in BF3
 
Does anyone know if the BF3 copy you pre-order on EA is a digital copy only? Coz I like having the DVD box. I collect them :)
 
I only played BC2, never tried the online, but seeing as how excited everyone is getting here, I'm quite tempted to try out online with BF3 when it comes out haha!
