I'll buy it....Fuck it my PC will be upgraded and i will buy it no matter what!!!!

That's it mate, this is they way to get the Greek economy out of the crisis.
The full trailer look yummie, now I want to be blown away with multiplayer footage.

I hope we get to see something before the E3.

DICE seemed pretty clear about no MP footage before E3. And I mean, I don't like that, but it makes sense marketing-wise. It's probably the one of the biggest video-game conferences coming up in the next few months. Lots of US viewers.

My money says that the INCOMING! clip is VERY scripted event and that air strikes in MP won't look like that.

Also, based on the trailers, a lot of the game's visuals are achieved through clever use of filtering and lighting rather than complex geometries or detailed textures. Compared to Crysis (Warhead) tweaked beyond "very high", it does not look that much more advanced. Slightly more realistic, yes, because of pronounced blur and anisotropic filtering. But again, looking at the lifeless faces and at times awkward movements of the soldiers gives away the fact that this is still a game.

Though, if somebody manages to hack back the 256 player mode in it, I would happily play even vanilla BF3. :P

Hey, I don't care, so long as there's multiplayer maps with that view distance.

I cant comment on the "complexities" of the geometry as I have no idea how complex they are compared to crysis warhead, but I played both Crysis and WH and I think they, instead of using complex geometries, just used ultra high-res textures to achieve their result... question is; which is harder: create a light engine as frostbite 2 or just add a bunch of photographies to the game?  ;)

Results are reached by different methods in all games, I dont think it matters if you use ultra-big photographies as textures, ultra-high poly models or an ultra-strong light engine. What matters is if the players get immersed or not.

In BF3s case, it's quite logical to use perhaps less ultra high-poly models, as they can all be destroyed, and instead of ultra-big photos, use the awesome light engine. Since you know when frostbite destroys geometry, the new geometry needs to be lighted in real time.

So compared to Crysis:WH I think BF3 is lightyears away in pretty much all cases.. sure CryTek uses insane textures and the quality of each photo is also very good, but did you play Crysis in MP anytime? I sure didn't.... BF3 is made for both SP and MP, and with 64 guys running around wreaking havoc, it might not be valid to use 2048x2048 textures for a chair or flowerpot if you see what I mean... Especially if the chair and flowerpot can be destroyed.

Sure Crysis had "destruction" as well, but the fake kind, and let's be honest, did you believe the way the shantytown sheds and wooden walls collapsed in Crysis? I often lol'd out loud when the pieces of the shit I blew up tried to find its place to the ground...

I have installed, but not yet playd Crysis2 though, from what I heard their urban environment is mind-blowing, cant wait to check it.. I mean blow it out.  8)

well...EA learned alot from BF2 MP and from Bc and BC2 singleplayer.

Who knows, this might be the real "Battlefield" wich combines both

Personally i wouldnt mind if there is only a Multiplayer...but a single player would be nice

And more lensflare than ever since the first 3D accelerators became available and every game had to be full of them. ;D

A small rant: I hate it how ever since destructible environment made its entrance to the games, th developers have to go overboard with it. It seems like they want every player to be able to destroy everything. Take these videos for example, something I would consider solid cover against small arms fire, gets destroyed so easily taht it seems every weapon is using the .50 cal ammo. Not to mention grenades entirely destroyng cover entirely. I know a thing or two about explosives and regular grenades should do practically no damage to cover. And dont get me started on that riddicullous AT-4 scene.

/End rant.

Kradovech is right. A hand grenade does little damage to those things
