    October 25 Launch, beta in September

    (pasted from source)

    EA Claims the Battlefield on October 25 with the Launch of Highly-Anticipated Battlefield 3

    DICE Entices Fans with Revolutionary Frostbite 2 Engine, Signature Battlefield Gameplay Crafted by World Class Development Team and Early Access to Battlefield 3 with Multi-Platform Beta in September

    E3 Expo 2011
    LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The fight is on! DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced that Battlefield 3?, the next installment in the internationally acclaimed Battlefield series, will be available on October 25, 2011. After three years of development, the spectacular new game leaps ahead of the competition thanks to the unique power of the Frostbite? 2 game engine. The technology advances the state of the art, and serves as the power center that allows Battlefield 3 to deliver superior performance in character animation, visual rendering, audio/sound and physical destruction. Battlefield 3 is the only FPS in the marketplace using Frostbite 2, and the only shooter capable of making the gameplay experience feel alive with all the sights, sounds, movements and action of real-world incursions. Fans eager to jump into battle can join the multi-platform beta in September 2011.

    ?We are proud to finally open the curtains and reveal Battlefield 3. The core development team has been together since 2005. We?ve grown together, taken some knocks together and now, we?re ready to take first person shooters to a whole new level, together?. Battlefield 3 will be shown on the PlayStation?3 computer entertainment system and PC this week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles in EA?s booth located at #1601 in the South Hall.

    ?We are proud to finally open the curtains and reveal Battlefield 3. The core development team has been together since 2005. We?ve grown together, taken some knocks together and now, we?re ready to take first person shooters to a whole new level, together,? said Patrick Bach, Executive Producer. ?Like so many gamers out there, we?ve had some pretty wild ideas about what we?d want to see in a shooter. Until now, it was all just fantasy. But with Frostbite 2, even our most far-reaching ideas are becoming a reality. This is the game we?ve always wanted to create.?

    Battlefield 3 captures the intense reality of modern warfare across the globe. DICE is working closely with highly decorated ex-SAS operator and acclaimed author, Andy McNab, to ensure the authenticity and grittiness of today?s war is captured in both the single player and multiplayer campaigns. In the single player chapters being highlighted at E3, two new playable characters are introduced. Dmitri ?Dima? Mayakovsky, a Russian undercover agent, must fight his way from the Paris Stock Exchange through the crowded city streets in a desperate attempt to stop PLR operatives from detonating a dirty bomb in the heart of Paris. Jonathan ?Jono? Miller, a Marine Corporal from America?s heartland, is deployed to the barren dustbowl of the Tehran desert to engage PLR forces. This chapter showcases a classic Battlefield vehicle warfare experience as players embark on a large scale tank attack to neutralize the PLR base. The popular Battlefield multiplayer mode ?Rush? is also back and will be playable on PC in the EA booth.

    Gamers ready to enlist can pre-order the Battlefield 3 Limited Edition and receive the Back to Karkand digital expansion pack at no extra charge.* This themed multiplayer pack pays tribute to Battlefield fans by featuring four highly celebrated maps from Battlefield 2 each now boldly re-mastered using Frostbite 2. Pre-order the Battlefield 3 Limited Edition now at Battlefield Digital Deluxe. Battlefield 3 will be available for the PlayStation?3, Xbox 360? videogame and entertainment system, and the PC.

                Don't any of you think a beta release this late means they can't make a November release date for the gold/final? I do.

                  It could be but maybe they will have it prepared much better then so many of the other betas we have had and it will be a true beta. I will keep my fingers crossed.

                      lol, Honestly I dont know if COD MW3 will be better, The game isn't out yet. But history has shown BC1, BC2, Crysis 2, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Arma II (eww) and Homefront couldn't knock it off from its mantel.

                      BF3 so far has eye candy and destruction environment going for it. I'm not too into this destruction enviroment thing. That building or wall may be my only hope to get a chance to reload, take cover or heal myself. Destruction enviroment was cool back in Red Faction. Other then that... I need mi cover I enjoy BF2, but I didnt really enjoyed the BC1 or BC2. And some things that DICE did to BF3, It seems like BC2.5

                      I do think it will be close to see which sells more. Kinda wish BF3 is release in November to get some close numbers. Time will tell when everyone will get fed up with the COD series. However, I don't think COD MW3 will get people fed up, maybe the next one will. Although I will admit, I am currently burnt out on the COD Blackops. But if I had myway. All they need to do is keep pumping out maps but beening how nowdays DLC is "in" it will just segregate the players even more from those that have the maps and those who do not.

                      In the end, blah... I guess I am a COD fan boi. But do note, one has keep in mind, BF and COD series are totally two different games and play style. It shouldn't be compared to each other but it is what it is and people (and me) will compare them.
