Battlefield 3 is the upcoming first person shooter in the series that started way back in 2002 with Battlefield 1942.
This is a modern day US military shooter, set in realistic scenarios around the world. Not much is known about the plot, but it's at least partly set on the Iran/Iraq border during some kind of conflict between the two countries, that the US has got involved with.
Looking at screenshots and gameplay videos, it's clear that like Crytek's recent Crysis 2, the star of Battlefield 3 is likely to be it's new engine. DICE's Frostbite 2 looks like a huge step up from the previous version, famous for it's destructible environments. Soldiers' movements are really convincing, and the level of detail in the new 3D environments is just staggering. Battlefield 3 looks streets ahead of the competition, and it's hard to believe another game will compete in terms of graphics despite the game not being released until after summer 2011.
As well as a great looking single player campaign, Battlefield 3 wouldn't be a Battlefield game without a serious multiplayer component. This iteration promises games with up to 64 players, and while that may not match Sony's MAG, is still impressive and will no doubt make the game even more intense.
Battlefield 3 is shaping up to be the FPS to beat this year. Can Call of Duty compete this time?
