Get Ready for Battlefield 3

October 25^th is the day for all the gamers to experience the most electrifying journey as the elite U.S. Marines in the Battlefield 3. Thisinteractive modern combatgame, developed by EA and DICE, is aimed to outshinethe charisma of rival Call of Duty. That is why battlefield 3 release date has been set before COD: Modern Warfare 3,which is now expected to be out on November 8^th, 2011.

This first-person shooter game exhibits a combination of single, multiplayer and cooperative modes with maps set on the streets and different areas of Paris, New York, Tehran, Oman, Sarajevo, Wake Island and Sulaymaniyah. The main plot shows the chaotic year of 2014, where the U.S Marines are handed an early mission along the Iran-Iraq border. The game, even though a sequel of Battlefield 2, is not really related to its previous games in terms of characters. So overall, it’s a whole new experience in its own engaging way.
The developers have focused mainly on PC (Microsoft Windows) as the main platform for this game, but it will also be available on PS3 and Xbox 360. The battlefield 3 game features more advanced graphics, dense audio and realistically destructible ground, thanks to the newer game engine Frostbite 2.There’s also a new character animation technology used in the game called ANT that will ensure the creation of more lifelike soldiers with abilities to perform their duties in a convincing manner.
