Type: News

Dice, an Electronic Arts studio, developers of the multi- platinum Battlefield: Bad Company series, announced a pre-order incentive for Battlefield 3, the successor to Battlefield 2.

According to Dice, Battlefield 3 uses the new Frostbite 2 game engine. This technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced visual quality, a larger sense of scale, massive destruction, audio and character animation utilizing ANT technology from the latest EA Sports games.
The experience doesn't stop with the engine - it just starts there. In single-player, multiplayer and co-op, Battlefield 3 is a near-future war game depicting international conflicts spanning land, sea and air. Players are dropped into the heart of the combat whether it occurs on dense city streets where they must fight in close quarters or in wide open rural locations that require long range tactics.

"We are gearing up for a fight and we're here to win," said Karl Magnus Troedsson, General Manager, Dice. "Where other shooters are treading water Battlefield 3 innovates. Frostbite 2 is a game- changer for shooter fans. We call it a next-generation engine for current-generation platforms."

In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines. As the first boots on the ground, players will experience missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York. As a U.S. Marine in the field, periods of tension and anticipation are punctuated by moments of complete chaos.

"We wanted to create the most immersive and emotionally powerful Battlefield game ever and we needed new technology to deliver on our vision," said Patrick Bach, Executive Producer. "Battlefield 3 preserves the franchise's signature sandbox style and even brings back classic fan favorites like jets, going prone and 64-player multiplayer on PC."

Battlefield 3 will be available this Fall for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system, the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and the PC.

Electronic Arts is a global interactive entertainment software company. The company develops, publishes, and distributes interactive software worldwide for video game systems, personal computers, wireless devices and the Internet.
