What to Expect of Battlefield 3 at E3 2011

The folks over at the official Battlefield Blog have given us some information as to what we can expect to see of Battlefied 3 at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, which runs next week in Los Angeles.

So what can you expect from the Battlefield 3 multiplayer? Powered by the Frostbite 2 engine, Battlefield 3 features some of the biggest and most spectacular maps that we have built. At the same time, we are also able to create more intense close-quarter combat than ever before. The multiplayer map, “Operation Métro,” available for press to play on the show floor, combines both sides of the scale into one cohesive experience. Gamers will experience a physical battlefield and be able to temporarily disable vehicles, go prone, mount weapons, lay down suppressive fire and more. Under the hood, the brand-new engine ensures cutting-edge visuals and immersion. All things combined, big and small, add up to the best Battlefield game we have ever created!

Sounds pretty good! Of course, we MAY have a behind-closed-doors appointment with them on Wednesday… What will they show there? Who knows, but we are looking forward to it!
