    The franchise that revolutionized online multiplayer for PC games is back.

    In our world-exclusive cover story, Game Informer unveils the first numbered entry in the Battlefield series since 2005. Many longtime fans are wondering, "what took so long?!" DICE has honed the concept for the true sequel for years, but it wasn't until the company developed the powerful new Frostbite 2 engine that it felt all the pieces were in place to create a proper follow-up. Armed with powerful upgrades like deferred rendering, real-time radiosity, a new animation system borrowed from the EA Sports label, and an exponential leap in destructibility, executive producer Patrick Bach dubs Frostbite 2 "the best piece of technology on the market when it comes to building games."

    Here is the full cover spread:

    You'll have to read the magazine to get the dirt on what DICE has in store for the single-player and multiplayer modes, but check back here and visit the official Battlefield 3 site tomorrow to watch the premiere teaser trailer and glean a few more key details.

    Frequent the Battlefield 3 hub throughout the month of February for more exclusive features about the highly anticipated shooter coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC.

    Looks like some sneak peaks are coming a little early. DICE has been tweeting about something related to BF3 all day today for tomorrow. Lets see what happens.

    On a side note on this:

    Anyone good with photoshop that could take the cover image and remove all the text and make it a background?

      "DICE SETS ITS SIGHTS ON CALL OF DUTY"

      No DICE, please don't, just BF2 again, new maps, new gfx, new engine. Please don't go on the same track of COD with perks, kill streaks. Just keep it nice and simple like BF2.

          The text "DICE SETS ITS SIGHTS ON CALL OF DUTY" can be misinterpreted very easily. I figure it means DICE is hoping to knock the Call of Duty series off its throne.

          It's definitely way, way too early to make any judgements for the moment, especially since we're only a day away from more details.

                  Micster is right though, it could just mean its going for the #1 spot.

                  I wouldnt be THAT nervous yet.

                        You know what else i noticed was "get the dirt on what DICE has in store for the single-player and multiplayer modes"

                        Single Player modes? I wonder if it will have a story or perhaps be BC3 story lol that would be horrible

                          No DICE! Impress the BF1942/BF2 fans, not the damn CoD-series fans! Oh god, this takes a notch out of my hopes for BF3, especially since I was hoping for a WWII game again.

                            "DICE sets its sights on Call of Duty" was put there by the reviewer, and very likely just as a way to show EA is trying to push CoD off its throne as a best selling fps. Many other games get the same comparisons in gaming mags.

                            Looking forward to the teaser and website

                              I'm dreading the performance impact this game is going to have on my system. I remember BF2, I upgraded from a 6600 to a 6800GT for that game. While my graphics card may be up to specs, but I'm worried about my CPU.
