The demo included intensely chaotic tank battles, and air strike sequences wherein the player physically moves from their tank perspective to a satellite monitor in order to target and destroy an enemy compound. Other highlights include BF3's extremely large maps, large scale battles and extremely pretty scenes of mass destruction.

The video below is a sneak peak of only some what Battlefield 3 has to offer:

As only a mere announcement, there will be much more information as we slowly approach the date nearing the game release. Details will also be revealed surrounding the beta and exactly how DICE will recruit participants. Nevertheless, it seems Battlefield 3 will give Modern Warfare 3 a run for it’s money.

holy f u c king shit. MW3 doesn't stand a chance!

Beta on 9/11. New world order.

Well im speechless lol

Bf3 is going to be sick, pity the amount of COD fanboys out there that don't realise that each COD get worse and worse yet continue to stick to it...

Each COD games gets worse?? Pretty sure mw2 was better than WaW, mw3 will be better than black ops.
And me (cod fanboy) prefers playing cod online because it's simple, easy to play, fast paced and fun

Battlefield I find I dislike the people who just sit in vehicles everytime they spawn. I played battlefield bad company 2 online and found it alright but got bored of it, where as I still play Mw2. It's not all about graphics.

Us cod fanboys can say the exact same about you battlefield fanboys. No doubt, I will buy battlefield 3 when it's out, try the online, if I get bored, can trade it in for mw3 2 weeks later :y:

This will be so much better than MM3.

Was i mistaken, or did i hear them say that the full game will be a free download on origin.com in the EA press conference? Surely i heard it wrong lol.

If you bought Medal Of Honor in the top left of the case it said you get an invite to the beta so I'm pretty sure thats one way of getting the beta

Why did I bother buying MOH if the Beta is going to be for everybody? Would they really be that cold hearted... it should be exclusive, plus some other spots for first-come-first-served purposes.
