Battlefield 3 Details Leaked

Woot! Mac OSX support! :nod:

Anyway, 17 weapons? 2 sides? That I'm kinda disappointed in. (Also, how are you going to divide 17 weapons equally? :p )

Also, more players is not essentially better, more TK'ing for vehicles and spam? Come on now.

Another Modern combat? Jeez. Games are getting too cliche these days...

Modern is going the way of WW2, I'm hoping to see more futuristic games.


Also, how dare they call 2142 a spinoff........

And shame on the person commenting on gamespot saying "I hope there's more jets".

I read its 17 per side. So that makes 34 Weapons / 2.

Lol, lack of XP support = instant fail to the game because Vista fails.

It does look a bit suspicious, what could they gain by excluding XP? (Except a bribe from MicroSoft).
XP may be on its way out, but I don expect that to happen in 2008.
In fact I recently read an article about major PC manufactures pressuring MS to allow them to continue to sell pre-installed XP.

I can honestly say that in one years time I believe more people will be using Vista, so I don't see what the majority of complaints are about, they seem to think its coming out tomorrow and don't feel like being suddenly forced into upgrading.

Also there's just a few comments here or there made from people who believe they know 2142 but sound as if they have never even played it.

More people sure, but the majority?
I tried finding info about which percentage currenly uses XP or Vista, but was unable to find any. Anybody knows a good source for this info?

Just a note to whoever changed the thread title: The new one isn't any better or less misleading than the old one. :p

Thanks, I also finally found this: http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php

Both says that XP has a 20:1 lead on Vista.
That is not going to change to Vista dominance before the end of 2008.

That is not going to change to Vista dominance before the end of 2008.

Currently about 75% of all PCs run XP, and that percentage probably won't drop below 50% by the end of 2008. There's no way any major game developer will publish a PC game without XP/DX9 support, because this would mean that they would alienate more than half of their potential customers. That would be downright stupid. (Unless Micro$oft pays them an enormous amount of compensation money for this marketing stunt, of course.) That's the reason why it'll take a while until games are designed exclusively for DX10/Vista.

Another important aspect is the fact that none of the latest generation game consoles, not even Microsoft's very own Xbox 360, uses DX10. Designing a game exclusively for DX10 not only denies EA half of the PC customers, but also all of the console customers.

Deja Vu, this is just like when the NS info was leaked!
First we will get "nothing announced, and no comment btw." and then when they start to remove the threads we can proclaim it a rock solid fact

[Quemical]

They should call it battlefield 2.5 if they take it back to modern day.

[nemes1s3000]

Mirror's Edge?! I've never heard of this.

Nice CM for PR, only way to get anything is speculating threads to make them post. Not like it used to be.
