    They are building it on a new version of the frostbite engine which bodes well for it looking good and playing smoothly. Can't say I'm looking forward to playing with jets/helos or the BF system of unlocks.

    Is BF3 modern era? I'd assume yes, but am too lazy to look into it 😀

    I believe it is modern era since it's been refered to as the sequel to BF2, but I've never heard anything otherwise.

    I can always hope that we see WWII or Vietnam again.......

    "Battlefield 3 is designed to run with DirectX 11, and won’t run at all on Windows XP."
    Lead Designer David Goldfarb has allayed fears that the next Battlefield will be a console port, saying that while the game won’t be exclusive to the PC, the PC version of the game is getting extra attention


    .... and another dev reports....

    Frostbite 2 is primarily developed for DX11. XP & DX9 is _not_ supported, 64-bit OS is recommended. Lots of time to upgrade if you haven't!


    My industrial software is only XP Pro and nothing we have is 64 bit compliant. Damn.
