Anyone looking forward to this? I really like BC2, but haven't been playing it long.

Call of Duty will go head-to-head with Battlefield 3 in 2011.

The third game in the series, which will be shown to press during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco next month, is set for release this coming fall, Electronic Arts confirmed.

The publisher revealed the first teaser trailer for the game on its official website tonight. The trailer, which contains no actual gameplay, displays quick cuts of helicopters, ground troops, tanks and fighter jets.

Additional details courtesy of the official Battlefield Blog confirm a full single-player and co-op campaign, jets, prone, and 64-player multiplayer for the PC version. The Frostbite 2 engine will power the game and a Limited Edition will be revealed around GDC.

Developer DICE confirmed earlier this morning it was canceling the release of Battlefield 1943 and the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught pack for PC.

It's the opposite in BC2, lol. You can be right behind someone, slash them in the back and it won't register.

COD definitely takes more skill to be good at, BF is nice because it's so wide open and there's very little camping and when there is, it's largely ineffective.

This is simply untrue. Sometimes there MIGHT be a guy with a mic on in your random squad and you can half-ass do something with him, most of the time it's just a bunch of idiots randomly running around after spawning on you. If you get to an objective by yourself, they might spawn on you and actually stay to get the points and then run off.

It is hard to find a good squad when playing with randoms. The worst part is when your put in a squad with three other wookies. Freaking pisses me off. That said....I can usually still find good games with randoms, just takes a few matches sometimes. I'm no expert and have only had the game for a few months (rank 27 I think), but it does take some getting used to from the COD series in a lot of ways.

Oh I love doing that!

What Pants said... it might take a couple tries for the knife to register. One of the major glitches with the game. Besides that, I love it.

Here is a tip, when you're team is full of wookies and most likely losing badly, look at the scoreboard and find somebody on the other team. Go to your friends list, tab over to "Recent Players" or something like that, click on the person's name and click "join session in progress." Boom! You're on the other team. And you most likely know where all your old team is camping. Easy knife kills (DOGTAGS!!!)

I have no shame about switching teams if my team is retarded.

I haven't played it yet, obviously, but I suspect I'd much rather have this be the case than what happens in black ops.

There's definitely a knack to it and it's pretty clear in games who has it and who doesn't! My scores fluctuate a good bit....couple good games, one great one, and three stinkers. I'm only a 27 though, get a group of 50's in your game and you quickly find out.

Sidenote......anyone on with an Android phone you can add this app 1337pwn.com and it let's you know when your friends are online playing (XBox anyway). Works pretty well.

What's your PPM? I think I was right around 250 when I stopped playing.

Not sure where to find my PPM (points per match I assume)?? Looking on statsverse....Here's my stats, as you can see I'm not that great. You can look up anybody on this site if you know their gamertag.

Yeah, it's actually called score per minute, sorry about that.

Here's mine.

It still pisses me off that I don't have the "All Bronze" insignias. Such ****ing bullshit, every gun is a goddamn gold star and somehow the Insignia is still locked.

Yeah your doing great....I think I'm doing OK for the time I've been playing, but of course I'd like to be better. Practice!

Nice! It had a pretty steep learning curve as some others have mentioned.
