Electronic Arts and DICE have announced that its Frostbite 2 powered Battlefield 3 will be released on October 25th for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Windows PC. As a bonus, there will be a multi-platform beta that starts in September. Including the normal multiplayer experience, Battlefield 3 will also feature a single player campaign which is being shown off at E3:
In the single player chapters being highlighted at E3, two new playable characters are introduced. Dmitri “Dima” Mayakovsky, a Russian undercover agent, must fight his way from the Paris Stock Exchange through the crowded city streets in a desperate attempt to stop PLR operatives from detonating a dirty bomb in the heart of Paris. Jonathan “Jono” Miller, a Marine Corporal from America’s heartland, is deployed to the barren dustbowl of the Tehran desert to engage PLR forces. This chapter showcases a classic Battlefield vehicle warfare experience as players embark on a large scale tank attack to neutralize the PLR base.
Remember, if you pre-order you will automatically be upgraded to the Limited Edition and receive the Back to Karkand pack free, otherwise you will have to purchase the map pack, which includes 4 classic Battlefield maps that have been remastered for the new engine.
Not much is known about the origin of the man known as Chris. Hailing from the great northern wilds of Ohio, he discovered Gaming Trend during a Hunting Expedition back in the early 2000's and hasn't left since. Back in the middle of the two thousand tenth Year of our Lord Pac Man the Powers That Be offered him a spot on the staff as a news monkey, and after several seconds of intense negotiations he accepted.
What is known is that back in the 80's he discovered a mystical device called an 'Atari 2600', and since then he has never looked back. Or forward. He does occasionally look left or right though. A few years later he bought a newfangled device called a 'Commodore 64' with money extorted from innocent schoolchildren who wanted to cross the street at the intersection where he was assigned as a crossing guard. This new device led him into the world of RPG's and adventure games, and later on mysteriously involved into an IBM PC, which led to a love of first person shooters and real time strategy games. Over the years of acquisitions Chris currently owns a Xbox 360, a Nintendo Wii, a Playstation 3, a 3DS and a high end PC. As for the future, well, until such a time where he can afford a WiFi covered island in the Caribbean he is content to always look out for the next big game or new shiny piece of technology, and the perfect root beer float.
