Battlefield 3 game footage

Pulled from Ars Technica.  This has to be some of the smoothest and realistic animations I've seen in an FPS yet:

Wow, that looks awesome.  I hope they keep the classic Battlefield base grabbing, too, though. :o  Would be a shame to ditch that in favour of playing exactly the same as CoD... -_-

I'd be shocked if they ever deviated and took the approach of CoD.  Battlefield's franchise has always been about grabbing bases, to become another CoD would be a shot in the foot, and 3 steps back for them.

I've always seen Battlefield games as much more team-oriented as well, which I love. My first experience with Bad Company 2 was amazing, because the squad based combat was really awesome - people actually worked together, we were strategizing over the mic, we were doing really well, and not a single one of us knew the other. I played for a few hours, and every game went like that. Team deathmatch in CoD isn't even really that - its just that there are some guys you don't need to shoot at who sometimes shoot over your shoulder and get your kill. But for the Battlefield games I've played (BF2142, Bad Company 2, and a little BF2), they've all been much more aligned with team play, so I hope that is retained.

From what I've read, the game won't be anything like CoD. Huge maps, lots of vehicles, massive teams. This is a true Battlefield game and they know what their fans want.

If you like teamplay orientated games, try out Project Reality, it's a BF2 mod bent on super-realism and teamwork is a necessity.

O_O This makes think about the new Unreal Engine that took three GeForce GTX 580 GPUs to run. Posting a topic about it now actually.

One thing I've always loved about Dice is their ability to make beautiful games that run well and scale nicely.

This looks sick, the campaign looks better then BF2, excited to see the multiplayer.
