Battlefield 3: “My Life” Trailer and 12-minute Gameplay Footage


One game which has been on my radar for months now and will be so for the rest of the year until it comes out in November 2, 2011. That’s a long time to wait for a game, but just looking at the footage and the trailer has sold me on this game. As much as I enjoy playing Activision’s Call of Duty series (both it’s Modern Warfare and Black Ops iterations) it will be nice to finally get something new to beat back that juggernaut.

One thing which the Battlefield games have always had above and beyond every other FPS shooters is the ability in multiplayer to not just be a boots-on-the-gorund grunt but also drive tanks and armored vehicles, pilot gunships and fighters. It looks like from this latest trailer (making great use of the song “My Life” from the Swedish band jj.) that driving tanks and piloting jets is still part of the gameplay.

For a game that’s showing gameplay footage at Pre-Alpha Stage of development this game looks beautiful. It’s only a wonder how it will finally end up looking when it’s gone gold and released to the general public. A general public with cash waiting to be spent with me one of said cash spenders.

  1. I’m looking forward to this too. Though I’m not big on EA’s Class system – I love the Ghost Recon “Grab any gun and go”, compared to the “this is your loadout” Battefield uses -the fact that you can use vehicles more than makes up for that. It also really lends itself to squad based gaming. I usually make a run for the helicopters. Add to that Dice’s Destruction technology, and you’ve a pretty well made game.

  2. Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. If they’ve made multi-player a priority this time, it should be a fun game.

  3. I think with EA and DICE pushing the game to take on Activsion’s COD franchise I’d be surprised if the multiplayer wasn’t a priority.
