Battlefield 3 Details Leaked

[sene]

If this is true I hope they incorporate some of the better aspects of bf2142.

I do not want to see dolphin diving in battlefield 3.Nor do I want to see c4 bunny hopping.I want check and balances not one class or one vehicle rules all.

I like the more diverse maps and weapons in battlefield 2.I hate some of the badge/medal and ranking requirements.


Here is what I want to see in battlefield 3 most of all.Constant anti cheat software updates,constant bug finding and fixing.A first person battlerecorder default on all servers.Better yet have it a split screen replay so that the killer and the killed appear on screen same time.It would make it so easy to identify cheaters this way.

when you die a quick replay in the spawn screen showing this would be cool

when it comes down to it battlerecorder vids arent that big why not just download to the client machine while loading the next level, its a long time since dialup so it shouldnt be a problem speed wise though youd need a checkbox to turn it off as if you didnt want the files you dont want to be forced into receiving them

I honestly hope they include nothing of 2142. Start fresh, they have a clean slate.

This might be the reason: http://archive.gamespy.com/stats/

Rofl, is that even possibly close to accurate? There are only 3,000 people playing this game?? That's so sad it's hilarious...

It matches the numbers form game-monitor pretty well

But remember that this show how many are playing at the same time, not the total number of people who plays BF2142.

[Yukiism]

Well, at the average time there are 10000 people playing this game. And Battlefield 2 comes close to the 20000 people.

[Sentience]

This for me is basically saying "i know that its true but am not going to let on that i know its true :p"

I honestly wouldn't read anything into that statement either way, however much fun speculation is, but you're welcome to bookmark this thread just in case.

It's all a conspiracy!

This might be the reason: http://archive.gamespy.com/stats/

I know I referred people to these stats myself short time ago, but unfortunatly I'm afraight they are not up to date. GameSpy seem to not update these stats any more. The numbers haven't changed in a while. At one point a few weeks back GameSpy moved the page from http://www.gamespy.com/stats/ to http://archive.gamespy.com/stats/. Note the "archive". Damn, there goes my #1 resource for game comparison player stats.

*yawn* "Leaking" information like this is a very common marketing tactic to draw attention to a company and/or site. I would not even blink if the entire thing were pulled out of Gamespot's collective asses, and I'd encourage no one else to put excessive stock in unconfirmed rumors and speculation - they are called that for a reason. I'll treat it with some credibility if/when it is confirmed by EA/DICE.

Yes, "leaking" information is a common marketing tactic to draw attention to a game, a company and/or site. But you didn't think it through. Who has an interest in leaking information and spreading rumors, long term and short term? It's easy to make up a rumor and put it on the web to draw some short term attention to a website. Maybe a minor website like Digital Battle would do that. But especially if the rumor turns out to be FALSE, mid to long term the website loses credibility with both the fans and even worse, the game developers. The relationship between gaming websites and game developers is usually a mutual benefit cooperation. The websites help the game companies to advertise their games, and in turn the game companies feed the websites with exclusive information, screenshots, features, interviews, etc, which draws attention to the website. If you piss off a game company, they won't supply you with the good stuff any more. Therefore, most professional gaming websites have a policy of not spreading rumors or leaked information, unless the involved game company (secretly) approves it. A major website like GameSpot, who maintains very close relationship with all major game publishers, has no interest at all to piss off the biggest game publisher of all (EA) by "pulling a thing [(fake, false rumor)] out of their collective asses" only for some short time attention. They don't have to pull anything out of their asses because the game companies feed them with the latest (often still confidential) information first hand. But if the game companies ask them to treat the information confidential, they will comply. Therefore I'm pretty sure that before they put the leaked information (which somebody else leaked, not they!) on the news somebody at GameSpot talked to somebody at EA or Dice.

somebody at GameSpot talked to somebody at EA or Dice.

And most certainly they weren't grunts, higher management I guess :)

Still, it's as of yet unconfirmed, so nothing's certain yet.

[Bubas]

I have a friend that has a cousin that knows a guy that is a friend to a Dice Developer...and this rumour is true.

P.S. - Aside from the failed joke I belive if Gamespot has posted it and claims that probably it&#180;s true then it will be true, I bet that before they posted it they contacted DICE or EA and they gave the green light to the news.

Still game-monitor.com numbers are up to date and matches with those numbers.

Oh yeah!

People, focus here:

Mirror Edge

Battlefield: Bad Company

Need some neon effects...

Nah, this is daily business. No need to bother the big bosses. It's not like the BF3 source code has been leaked or something. Merely an information that was supposed to be released to the public in 2-3 months time anyway. It may be a bit premature now, but it's not a big deal. Maybe it's even welcome for marketing.

I seem to remember something simular happening with bf2142 where a video was 'leaked' before it was meant to be. If this info is true then you would have thought ea/dice would have learnt with the bf2142 incident.
