Powered by EA dice, Battlefield 3 supported by the repetition of freezing, which introduced the destruction of the environment so radical Battlefield in the workshop as the number of Bad Company. According to the game of dice, game campaign is 12 hours, about twice the length of the latest headlines and Call of Duty Medal Of Honor. Kevin O'Leary, Battlefield brand manager, said the frostbite 2 is based on what the team has learned from Bad Company franchises and creates a "kick ass platform" for Battlefield 3. Engine is based on five main "pillars" - animation, destruction, dimension, and audio making. EA hope that the combination will allow more in-depth and impressive military FPS ever made.

For the animation, the dice are registered EA technology developed by Sports FIFA franchise and others to create a character models more realistic. O'Leary said that the "system seamlessly blends all the cartoon characters and realistic models, human process." Rape, which is like a point in the determination of the Bad Company 1 and 2, which Battlefield 3 improved micro and macro scale. The player may shoot the deck, even a little; see the individual pieces of the structure of the sliver in different directions. But it could also ruin the entire wall of the building to take a more direct path to war (although there are limits to how far you can destroy the structure, which means that the whole tower blocks can not be removed, for example).

At this level, the Battlefield 3 built using the PC as a platform to lead, that is, the game will support 64-player battles on large maps, but the PS3 and Xbox 360 players will have to settle for only 24 players in the competition. No planes, tanks, planes and other vehicles that is open for players to enter and cause damage. O'Leary also said that death is focused on "behind the existing urban environments where space is tight with not a lot, which changes the game significantly." Graphical representation of excessive Frost Battlefield 3 been greatly improved, making the game look very impressive. Special attention is bestowed on the lighting system, which takes into account the dynamic changes in light sources, both inside and outside. Finally, audio is based on the award-winning sound design by Bad Company 2, the audio engine O'Leary claims is the "best in class". "The five things combined provide a platform for launching Battlefield 3, which combines the next generation of technology in current-gen platforms," ​​he said. "Five great things themselves, but when they come together to create a moving experience that brings. Depth and really connects with you on the battlefield”

During the presentation of 15 minutes, showing the new features of freezing two or three sequences EA different game. Most campaigns are playing a black sergeant named something unoriginally, but there will be other playable characters, probably a plane or a helicopter pilot for the vehicle. The mission was a demonstration of the early stages of the campaign, while squad Black marines stationed in the city of Sulaymaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan, near the border with Iran. The year is 2014 and the coalition forces to carry out the mission of security against a rebel group called the PLR. Marines assigned to regain contact with Jackson a lot, which is mysteriously missing.

Opening segment started in the Marines behind the Humvee or armored personnel support such as Johnny Cash version of "The Lord Cut You Down 'folk song (from American V: hundreds Highway album, released in 2006 after the death of any singer) is playing in the background scary. That's not the usual chatter of military vehicles, a mixture of raw courage and technical talk, but seems to have a relative fairness in the process. Marines worried when vehicles are stopped in an unexpected place, after all, the wise person knows the fear of the unexpected, but expected.

The soldiers left the relative safety of the vehicle, which resulted in bustling city streets. In addition to concrete blocks, wire barriers and armored forces, the scene was like any other city in the Middle East, with dangerous driving old cars through the streets and all the intense heat of dusty ash. Inform the team commanders Jackson went AWOL from the pack and it becomes his duty to re-establish contact, which means taking a dangerous path through the maze of buildings to determine their final position. "Have you ever wondered why this part of the world that is so f ** ked all the time?" A soldier asked again philosophical, like the team is ready to go. "Do not ask me," replied his colleague. "I just work here."

From the beginning, it is clear that the engine freeze is Battlefield 2 in the upper echelon of shooters graphics - this game is seriously impressive. Down the winding alleyways and an impressive number of channels show the details, but the light highlighting. Entering the office to send a ray of light penetrated through the windows, fog mixed with dust to create a burning spear. The weapons also look very detailed, with realistic and the effects of corrosion held parallel to much underrated Far cry 2. Despite all the new features, however, is in his heart Battlefield 3 nice by-the-numbers FPS.

After leaving the family room lead to bullet-time, which gives players the opportunity to act before the time-warped canceled. In this case, the risk of snipers on the roof, as a teammate accidentally drilled by bullets and can be dragged to safety, while the rebel thugs trigger finger. Audio is really quite striking; whip-cracking shot from the vibration is mixed with heavy weapons fired from close range. Destruction can also be seen in more detail, covered with fragmented into pieces and slowly erode to expose the hedge position. Similarly, by consideration of the rival dug wells in the balcony of an apartment building is made easier, just loud enough that the entire section with a grenade launcher.

The main purpose of this section is to kill the sniper, which looks like a rifle loaded with enough meat-caliber bullets. After the match in the block housing and the roof, teams have to bend and take the position, before detecting the position of the attacker. There is some tension in the scheme, as it would in real life when it comes to drive a sniper. Waste appearing exploded in the air, because every shot of rain, the gradual increase in the sense of danger when someone carelessly put our heads above the parapet. Over time, the leaders of enemy fire directed by rain, while O'Leary blew in front of the entire building with a rocket launcher. Trust Americans to use a hammer cracks nuts.

Demonstration and then switch to a different section of a building, on a mission to follow the thread to neutralize improvised explosive devices (IED) to block the development team. Players must crawl through the vents to prevent the rat to enter the living room holding a detonator. However, shortly after the device has reached the end of fast time fighting launched by hand involving operations against the rebels. Battle had an unusual approach when asked to press the face or move the controls in a certain direction to activate the event. Quick time events often criticized, sometimes rightly so, but at least they can vary the speed at which control is not free. After the delivery of bad wire cutting, and neutralized IED. Back in the squad last activation sequence, a battle in the streets of the city.

Fights a group of pieces Battlefield 3 also seems very true to previous FPS titles. The action is furious, fast and reasonably balanced, with lots of tactical options for players. In this sequence, O'Leary went to the bridge to carry heavy weapons do hordes of rebel soldiers into the street. But players can also take the floor near nearby buildings, if they wish, or jump the gun mounted jeeps left behind. Certainly not the kind of tactical realism seen in games like Operation Flashpoint, but it seems that there is enough balance between the linear and strategic options to make things interesting. After killing enough insurgents, attacking players follow a different path, only annoying for all earthquakes paralyzed, dropping a shot block in the process.

Finally, an idea that seems Battlefield 3 very impressive. Sure, the game followed the mechanics tried, tested and, even slightly used and arrange the pieces of first-person shooter, but there is a sense of equality "is not broke do not fix it.”Or it could be better placed as an" if it is not broke do not fix it, just do a better "Destruction of frostbite engine fueled by Bad Company. Always interesting and a real extra dimension Call of Duty franchises everywhere. Therefore, if Battlefield 3 can offer greater destruction, better graphics and more in-depth experience of the war, then all power to it. With the single player campaign and multiplayer epic length, the game clearly has an expert eye of some, but it is unclear at this point whether it is sufficient to cope with Goliath Modern Warfare 3 inevitable end of the year.
