Will Battlefield 3 be the best War Game ever?

Battlefield 3 (BF3) is the successor to Battlefield 2. The game includes full single player campaign, a co-op campaign, and multi-player mode. In Battlefield 3, players take the role of U.S. Marines experiencing heart-pounding missions in diverse places including Paris, Tehran and New York.

EA built the Battlefield 3 with their new game engine Frostbite 2 (see video below). This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations. As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. According to the BF3 Website, BF3's new technology allows you to experience superior animation, unparalleled lighting and special effects, epic scale and incredible sound design."

The battlefield in BF3 is going to be destructible (see video below). This will allow users to "annihilate buildings, demolish cover, and even shoot through walls to eliminate that guy crouching behind the third floor windowsill."

The vehicles in the game will include Fighter Jets, Tanks, Jeeps and Helicopters. For a list of the weapons in BF3, see BF3 Weapons Guide
