What ever happened to BF3?

Re: What ever happened to BF3?

There is no real evidence anywhere that BF3, if it even is being made, is going to use frostbite engy, why would they port all the models? then you would just get the same content but one game was mainly SP and the other prolly mainly MP.

For starters, the game engine has nothing to do with the models. Battlefield 1942 had very different models to Battlefield Vietnam, and they were both built on the same engine. Same goes for BF2 and BF2142.

Secondly, although it's not a very high standard of evidence, the allegedly leaked shareholder brief for BF3 states that "Frostbite DX" will be the engine being used.

To say there is "no real evidence anywhere" is false. The evidence that does exist isn't exactly bullet proof, I'll give you that, but it's certainly not non-existent.

I would be very surprised if we don't hear about this game at E3, and will be utterly shocked if it's not in development at all.

Actually most models/meshs are specific to a engine in the way they are rigged or how the hierarchy is done or w/e. Im well aware how the BF engine 'generations' work.

Well to be honest i could have come up with the same thing in about 10 mins with a bit of guesswork.

Agree on the last point.

It's good to see that if it is in the works that they are taking there time with it and not just rushing it out to make more money.

Re: What ever happened to BF3?

I was just looking for the latest BF2 patch and found this:

That's the worrying bit. We haven't heard a thing about it yet.
