Talk:Battlefield 3

New *Full* Trailer / Fighter Jets
I'm not going to try to add the thing to the page cuz I suck at editing, but here's the newest full Trailer . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zw8SmsovJc&feature=player_embedded

It confirms jets as a playable vehicle and from what I can tell includes the F-18 and the SU-33 Naval Flanker in-game. In depth analysis can go to you guys, but I got my SU. :D

I'll put it up ASAP - 08:27, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'm starting to believe that the featured plane in the trailer for the US is an F-16, better supported by the newest Tank combat trailer with those being the main aircraft flying around including the F-18, but the cockpit image matches the F-16 a bit more

Notice the things like the little diagram of the plane on the right hand side and the way the main console has it's screen aranged in below the HUD. It doesn't hurt to leave it as F-22 or F-16, but that was definitely an F-16.

 * Very nice analysis there, anon. Although it might be a bit safer to keep it at "F-22 or F-16", considering DICE stated they really wanted to make everything as realistic as possible, I'll put in F-16. Thanks!

 * I don't know if you remember, but I actually confirmed that. From this perspective, the joystick is slightly to the right. That kind of means that it is turning right from the center. That's F-22's joystick. The F-16 was initially designed as a close-range lightweight fighter for air-to-air combat only, so the moved the stick to the upper right side. Another feature is that not all controls of the F-16 are electronic, some are mechanic (I saw it myself), which isn't the case of the F-22, and as there is no "safety handle" to pull before ejection on the left, there's no way that's a F-16. The only similarity with the F-22 is the clear canopy, but the rest has complete 5th Generation cockpit. I believe I cleared it out and going to change it, if you wanna make an objection, go ahead.

 * Yes, I remember you doing that. But I mean, just look at the images the anon put up! Everything fits with the F-16 cockpit! I mean, I'm no expert, but if they're visually identical, then it must be an F-16.  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 14:34, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm a fighters expert and all, an I could've sworn to God I saw the joystick in a more higher position when I sat on it in 2009. Well, if the joystick is that close and all, I have no arguments. Approved Pedro9basket 15:42, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Set in Sarajevo?
Recently, rumours of BF3 being set in Sarajevo during the year 2013 have begun circulating the Infobahn (internet).

There are several articles about it, most can be accessed through Google, looking for "battlefield 3 sarajevo". However, I propose that Sarajevo is not added to the article yet, as no source appears reliable (including Wikipedia, which already states this). Also, all the articles are written in exactly the same broken English, which leads me to believe that it was translated, shoddily.

I'll start looking for any sources and edit this if anything comes up. Th3 razor 13:26, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Here's the translation of the Croatian article; just in case: Warning, possible spoilers.

"A few pages dedicated to gaming, but also that portals from Bosnia and Herzegovina have passed the information that the story of upcoming Battlefield 3 will start in Sarajevo no less. Allegedly, in BiH in the year 2013 an excalation of an, as of yet, undefined conflict has arised, and the plot of the game itself begins in 2014. when a platoon of USMC, of which you are a part, arrive at the scene. Afterwards, the storyline will shift to the Iraqi-Irani border, and after that on numereous locations arroudn the world, including both New York and Paris.

Despite the ammount of players who will be more than happy to see Sarajevo fetured, question is how will the citizens od Sarajevo and BiH in general feel, cosidering that the political situation is still far from simple. Also, the wounds of the war have still not healed, so for some, this scenario is not an alternative future, rather real and material past.

'Plot of the game is based on the 'what if' scenarios. We see the world as a very unstable place. We see it for example through the shot which echoed Sarajevo and, with the butterfly effect, causing WWI', stated, few months ago Peter Bach, executive producer of Battlefield 3, with which he has, maybe intentionally, pointed the finger towards the place where the plot of Battlefield 3 shall begin. However, official confirmation, wether the plot will at any point be set in Sarajevo, has not yet surfaced." 78.30.152.195 19:55, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: 

I've come across the site Gamereport, which has an interesting article inside. It's in Croatian, but from what I could translate, apparently, Battlefield 3 will begin in Bosnia during 2013. The title is "Battlefield 3 smješten u Sarajevo?!" which quite literally translates to "Battlefield 3 is located in Sarajevo?!", the name of every article I came across during my search. That's about it for now. Th3 razor 13:35, May 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Of course. If it's just rumours, and not confirmed, it means that it could be misleading. Until we get it from a reliable source, it won't go on the article. Interesting, though.  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 20:32, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Cleanup/Sourcing
This talk page needs cleaning up, most of the information is outdated and half is based on half fact. I would also like to point out that due to the hype of this game now, we should only add in factual, sourced information, preferably by DICE's publicity for the game.
