New Armored Kill Trailer For Battlefield 3 Defines Epic

DualShock Nexus: The new trailer for Battlefield 3's upcoming DLC Armored Kill, is out now and it doesn't disappoint. It looks as though one of the maps will give you the "cold" shoulder (Get it? Ha ha ha...okay). Check out the trailer and extra information below.

[Emilio_Estevez]

That was quite epic.

[Them_Bones]

That's what she said.

[TheModernKamikaze]

That's not how it works.
Usually it consists of an innuendo.

[Them_Bones]

@TheModernKamikaze

In most cases maybe, but I'm just that good.

[Peppino7]

Wow that was actually a really cool video. Showed some nice new toys!

[zeeshan]

I absolutely LOVED Battlefield 3 and I guess I invested over 300 or 400 hours (don't remember anymore). But to be honest, their trailers are NOT the way to go. See this trailer is clearly taken from the PC version of the game. I play on my PS3 so I have no idea if PC version actually plays exactly the way it shows in the trailer because on my PS3, the recoil is so pathetic that I can't even begin to describe it.

It wasn't there before the spring patch but kids kept crying about it and how almost every gun was over-powered and they wanted to nerf the shit out of the game. Result was DICE actually gave them exactly what they wanted. The tanks became more like plastic, the helis were significantly nerfed. Terrible amount of recoil was added and the new CQ map pack!? That is absolutely NOT the battlefield game that we all know. That was a COD wanna be half ass bull**** game!

DICE ruined BF3 and I don't think I can ever return to it ever again. Not at least by looking at trailers and promo videos. I'll wait to hear from YOU guys, the gamers, the ones who really matter.

[Dday141]

My penis is soft.

[pixelsword]

That's what she said...

...to you?

[ArchangelMike]

Epic is right! Man, I'm glad I got Premuim. I'm still loving CQC, and this just looks awesome.

[geth1gh]

Just for reference below, I have bought every bf game and dlc since 1942. This trailer looks sick and I can not wait for those maps to be packed full of 64 ppl in vehicles!!!

CQC is okay, but it isn't battlefield.

As for premium I am so disappointed so many people are paying for it. You can disagree with me all day but if you sit down and listen to my logic here, you know I am right.

As the developer of the witcher 2 just stated (who made their game completely drm free on the pc btw) "game companies are over-exploiting gamers"

Now don't get me wrong, I totally want to support them including dlc. But having a grand total of a game come to $110, dlc or not is unacceptable.

The game cost $60. For that $60 you get the true game, all the time it took them to develop the engine, weapon mechanics, vehicle mechanics, gameplay, etc. Out of that process map design while important, really isn't the biggest time or resource waster.

That said, even if it is 20 maps (which most already have 4 of them from B2K, so its kind of a advertisement scam) it isn't worth the price of a full game all over again.

It's just crazy and sad that the community supports stuff like premium. I guess it's because the majority of the people get their mommy and daddy to buy it.

[AusRogo]

@Beth1gh yes but the minority of us pay with our own money and can see that we are saving money with premium, dice always bring out the best DLC so I see no problem tbh

[ATi_Elite]

Love those BF3 trailers, they really get you pumped up!

Armored Kill is gonna have me back in the BF3 drivers seat!

(well at least until Planetside 2 gets released)

[jimbobwahey]

They're great trailers yeah, but it's pretty jarring when you go play the console versions of the game and the graphics are nowhere near as good and the battles aren't as epic because there's a much smaller playercount for the game.

That's why I don't trust any of the trailers that EA puts out for their Battlefield/Medal of Honor games, because the Xbox 360/PS3 versions are nothing like what they show :(

[iPad]

Sorry for the Off-topic comment but....

Should I buy PS3 now, or wait for the PS3 "super slim"?

I already have a PS3 but it's not looking so good. I'll play a game and it'll turn off. It'll beep and the light would turn yellow and back to red.

[robavila95]

Buy the cheapest alternative.

[krisq]

You should wait. GamesCom is around the corner.

[ArchangelMike]

Wait for super slim to release, then buy a PS3 slim cos the price would have gone down. But then again, that'll probably be at Christmas time, so it gives you some time to save up :]

[DrRobotnik]

I just jizzed in my pants a little.

[doogiebear]

I'll be honest:

I stopped playing BF3 because I was getting bored. HOWEVER, I did buy the CQC maps. But then got bored again.

BUT THIS TRAILER is exactly the thing to get me excited again. The DLC alone is enough to kill this year's COD game. The cabin in the open-spaced Snow map reminded me of Bad Company 2.

CAN'T WAIT, SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperSandLegend]

Can't wait to try out the new maps. I'm glad I got premium.

[Crazyglues]

Yeah premium really is the way to go, got two friends who just bought the map pack: Close Quarters, and now they will need to buy this one, and they want to go Premium now..

They will just be paying extra now, because you can't get a refund for the maps you already bought, so they messed up..

To anyone still on the fence just get premium - http://bit.ly/NkKhI2

.____........___...____

||.........___||.......____||

[shackdaddy]

I think they get a discount if they already have maps. IDK, I think I got a discount for owning Karkand...

[Crazyglues]

No player this is how it works...

If you have the limited Edition of Battlefield 3 you get B2K for free... that's free for all limited editions (people who pre-ordered BF3 or got lucky and bought a Limited edition copy from somewhere)

Now if you bought CQ -(close Quarters) then you paid 14.99 which is the full price.

and when you get Premium, there is no discount or refund for CQ or B2K

-Premium is already a discount Price and includes all the DLC - so if you buy Premium you are getting each DLC at 9.99 instead of 14.99 each

Now here is the kicker, if you bought CQ and maybe you bought B2K you can't get your money back for those- Premium is still 49.99 and it includes those maps..

So you end up paying 49.99 for premium and 14.99 + 14.99 depending on if you bought both B2K and CQ before you bought premium meaning you paid = 79.97 total.

So always get Premium if your thinking about getting the maps... -better to just go Premium then buying each DLC

.____........___...____

[KontryBoy706]

Premium is the way to go. I got CQ for the PS3... :( I'll hold off on getting Premium until after I finish building my PC. Oh yeah!

[vickers500]

I bought BF3 on ps3 back when it was on sale for 19.99 at Best Buy and was loving it so much at the time, I stupidly and prematurely bought Back to Karkand. Then the BF3 Premium rumors started flying about and then it was announced and I was kind of pissed off.

Had I just played the base game and waited and not bought Karkand, BF3 premium would have been an insta-buy for me, because I love the game, it's my goto FPS multiplayer game, but now that I've already bought Karkand, I feel like 49.99 is a bit of a rip off.

If I can find a sale or a way to get at least 10 dollars off of it, then I'll get it.

[Emilio_Estevez]

Screw premium, gameshare is the way to go. Glad I didn't pay for it. CQ is awful, it's not Battlefield, it's COD and I hate it.

They had better redeems themselves with the new one and it looks like they will.

[MadLad]

I'd rather wait and see how the maps turn out, instead of blindly throwing money at a developer. Even if it is one I trust.

If even one of those map packs turn out crappy, you really aren't ahead if you have been playing since day one.

I can deal with waiting an extra two weeks and missing out on some skins. I don't spend money on that which I have no idea what to expect from.

[Hufandpuf]

If this game doesn't win game of the year, I'm going to flip out, because that just blew my mind!

[Ace_Pheonix]

Came out last year, didn't win. Won a couple online multiplayer awards though.

[WillGuitarGuy]

Didn't MW3 win over this at the VGA's? Wait...I forgot, it's the VGA's.

[Hufandpuf]

I think it still has the legs to grab GOTY from Black Ops 2 and MOH:Warfighter this year as best shooter.

Seriously, look at how many people play this game and look at the content they keep releasing. It's hard not to keep coming back and saying:

"I've never played a better multiplayer shooter this year in 2012 so far"

[torchic]

@Huf

isn't GOTY awarded to the best game (of a particular genre) of that year? don't think BF3 will even get a nomination...

but Battlefield 3 is probably the best shooter that money can buy at the moment no lie there. BLOPS comes in at a close second.

[Pandamobile]

@Torchic BF3 won plenty of GOTY awards.

[ginsunuva]

Remember Dice makes great scripted trailers that aren't as great when playing them

[RegorL]

Take another look at this trailer and you will see that the cameras point of view moves around in a (two actually) specific scene.

Solders running, you see the rocket artillery.
Next inside artillery, you see vehicles approaching.
In tank, you see the rocket artillery.
- - -

Either they record on all PCs simultaneously or this is the Battle recorder in action...

[Detoxx]

I just cannot imagine how you would not buy this game after seeing this

[WillGuitarGuy]

I came, I saw, I came again...lol. This looks fun though. I'm so excited!

[grahf]

If I had the same PC that the game in the trailer was running on, I'd buy it in a second. The trailer gameplay looks amazing!

HOWEVER...

I'd like to see the trailer shot on the 360, since thats my current platform of choice. There would be a HUGE DIFFERENCE!

[leogets]

Wouldnt go as far as huge difference dude.few extra players and a little crisper graphics.nothing mind blowing in regards of platform difference.

[FragMnTagM]

I have both the PC and 360 version of the game, and like leogets said, there isn't a huge difference.

I have it maxed on PC and I can tell you the differences.

Better particle effects (explosion and smoke)
Higher anti-aliasing (no jaggies)
More players
Higher resolution
60fps is pretty nice (feels more fluid)

That is basically it, besides some of the maps having more capture points and the bigger maps like caspian have mobile AA guns.

[grahf]

There is a huge difference, and its really not debatable.

@leogets : A "Few" extra players? Last I checked 64-24 = 40. That's more than a "few!" You have gigantic maps, and having 2.6x the number of players from console to PC makes an enormous difference. And the graphics aren't just crisper. They're 1080p vs 720p-upscaled.

@FragMnTagM : You're just plain wrong as well. Basicaly every bullet point you listed makes a huge difference. In fact, running at 60 FPS vs 30 FPS makes all the difference in the world, it isn't just "nice", especially at 1080p resolution.

You guys are acting like I'm hating on the game. Well, I didn't necessarily LOVE it on the 360, but I don't hate it. In fact, I applaud the vast technical leap the PC can output vs the current consoles. Don't downplay one of the biggest reasons console players should be envious of PC gamers & hobbyists. I know I am.

[yoyo12121]

Ps3 is better than Xbox 360

[FunAndGun]

lol @ leogets

a few extra players.....that was quite funny.

I only play BF3 on PS3, but the PC version has HUGE advantages over the consoles.

grahf is completely right. I mean I don't even play Conquest on PS3 because the maps are too big and there are not enough players to fill it. you spend more time looking for a battle then you do actually shooting.

The player count is one of the biggest problems with the console version.

[synchroscheme]

This is the true battlefield we've all been waiting for.

[CaptainSheep]

That was so amazing. O__O
I have GOT to get Premium soon.

[HammadTheBeast]

If you're on PS3, gameshare it off a friend.

[-Alpha]

THIS is Battlefield. Maps should have been more like this from the start. Forest + Snow, finally!

[WillGuitarGuy]

No...THIS is SPAAARTA. I had to do it...

OT: There seems to be more footage of the snow map. I'll be waiting to see more of the forest.

[HammadTheBeast]

That's the same map. The one's shown in the trailer were Bandar Desert, and Alborz Mountain. 2 more to come.

[Hellsvacancy]

I know, its sucks weve had to wait this long, i had a backlog of games i hadnt played because of BF3, so i loaned my copy of BF3 to a friend, ill get it back nearer the release of Armoured Kill

[Bolts]

This game does it all from small CQ battles to huge epic brawls. This is the first FPS to give you everything.

[BraveToaster]

epic
Noun:
A long poem, typically derived from oral tradition, narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures.
Adjective:
Of, relating to, or characteristic of an epic or epics.
So how is this epic? It really bothers me when people misuse this word. Happens ALL THE TIME.
Anyways, this does seem pretty cool. I might get it.
EDIT: People disagreeing with facts.
I love you so much N4G users~~~~<3

[EazyC]

Definitions change over time. For example, if i said, "Look at those faggots!", one would be inclined to think I was being homophobic, and not pointing out the presence of a bundle of twigs.

[TheObserver]

Thou art zany. Characters undergo new visage as tyme goes on. Change is inevitable with the passage of the aions. Thou may lament and lambaste those who speaks the young tongue, but take a look at thyself who is nothing but an imbecile in an intellectual's hyde.

Tl;dr

Words change, deal with it. Purist Nazis.

[pandehz]

I was about to provide the definition of 'pretty' and 'cool' but yea whatever look it up

[Adexus]

SNOW MAPS! :D

But is it me or did they only show off Bandar Desert and 1 or 2 snow maps?

[HammadTheBeast]

Bandar Desert, and Alborz Mountain.

[Detoxx]

Let's hope BF4 is like this from launch and doesn't need 3 DLC map packs. Then it would be the best FPS ever with no doubt

[nepdyse]

"Gameplay experience may vary depending on your platform."

[SuperSandLegend]

It should be "Gameplay experience will vary depending on your platform". They didn't even need to add that in their honestly. It hurts us console players' feelings.

[nepdyse]

"May" because they don't want you to think that. My cousin bought Bf3 for his PS3 a few weeks ago, after watching all the trailers on Youtube and suffice to say he was mis-lead because like the majority of casual console gamers he thought it was console footage lets just say he was a bit underwhelmed.

[SilverKiller]

EPIC.

i think at least i have still time to finish the 5 new assignments that were released recently they are quite difficult indeed lol

[brettyd]

Gettin that fo sho (even though yesterday I said I wasn't getting premium)

[EazyC]

Well, fuck. Wish i could afford some fancy-ass pc that can run this :(. My PS3 version is a joke to be honest compared to what i see here.

[FragMnTagM]

Just over 600 dollars for me to max this game on PC

[pandehz]

Other MP games dont have shit on BF3

[SJPFTW]

NOW THIS IS BATTLEFIELD NOT THAT CQC BULLSHIT!!

[Convas]

Man oh man, this is going suck on consoles. Maps like Caspian Border and Gulf of Oman are already barren enough with 24 players. Add in these even bigger maps?

Can't wait to finish my gaming rig ... then I'll experience BF3 like it was meant to be experienced.

[napalmbrainmusic]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD !!!

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

snow! 32 vs 32 vehicles!

[Ducky]

That looks lame... just more desert comb- SNOW SNOW SNOW!
It's about time.

[Clarence]

DAMN!!!

[Ken22]

OMG that was awesome hopefully next gen consoles will have more player's guess i'll have to do with 12 vs 12 for now.

[AgreeFairy]

I'd rather wait for Battlefield 4 instead.

[Them_Bones]

This would have had more of an impact if they didn't announce BF4 a few days ago.

[OcelotRigz]

HOLY SNOWY SNOW GOD OF THE SNOWY SNOGALOGGA MAGALOGABOHA!!!

Havent played CQ's or BF3 at all for about a month or two,(thanks to dark souls) but man thats definitely my cue to get warmed up.

[Trenta27]

Oh man. Where are the Call of Duty fanboys at? I want to see their arguments against this!

On another note, I'm so glad I own a high end PC for this. It will be insane.

[Rampaged Death]

It looks like pure mayhem !

[yoyo12121]

Not on console

[Hal0_0_EmElG]

BOW TO THE GLORIOUS PC GAMING MASTER RACE !!!

[darkgod]

not a fan of shooters but hell that looked way better than that call of duty garbage. this game looks like how a war game should be.

[shackdaddy]

The snow map will be my favorite. It looks so awesome...

I can't believe we're still getting 2 more expansions after this.

[Gamer-Z]

How you guys can play COD over this boggles my mind @_@

[capcock]

because they play it on console probably, on pc bf3 is amazing on console it sucks, CoD is generic across the board.

console version of bf3 has green flickering, horrible aliasing, ugly textures, screen tearing and runs @30fps.

[venom06]

this looks INSANE!!!! this is why BF3 totally slaps CoD all in the face everytime.. just a much better game. Too bad this trailer wont make it to those CoD fanboy site, IGN. Anything EPIC concernin BF3 never sees the light of day, but as soon as controversy hits, its front page news.

[AO1JMM]

I have BF3 on PC and 360 but unfortunately I cannot seem to get into a lag free or playable server so I quit playing on PC. 360 runs smooth as butter so it isn't my LAN. Either way I am having lots of fun with BF3 and cannot wait to play Armored Kill.

[90Supra]

You should probably dump that dual core proc, son...

[AO1JMM]

Nice assumption but you are incorrect.

[MadLad]

@yoyo

Isn't the ps3 version the one with a bit better lighting than the 360 . . . as well as the one that a large number of players are experiencing borked controls with?

That better version?

[carlocgc]

this looks awesome i will buy it. not a premium member screw that lol cqc. BF4 announcement sucks

[WeskerChildReborned]

Looks pretty cool.

[frankboy2012]

I cant wait for this!!!! But im wondering how much they will cut out of the console version hope its not much :(

[Soldierone]

As a console player, this is the one I'm passing up.

Honestly noobs in vehicles annoy the hell out of me. Then you get stuck with no vehicle, or finally get one, and some douch in a jet keeps blowing you up and flying circles.....Plus some of those maps look like it will be bare on low play count.....

[Spenok]

Holy Amazing Batman!

Lol but in all seriousness that looks amazing. This video explains why I love this game so much. Just... times 2 xD

[spektical]

i hope its not too empty on consoles. thats what brings down maps like caspian border, too big for consoles 24 players

[RenegadeRocks]

FUCK YEAH !!! BF3 is the best game ever ever ever :D !

[Somebody]

The trailer is the most the exciting thing to see in BF3...until I saw the helos.

I have "paused" playing BF3 for a month, maybe two now. One reason is other games taking up my time. One major reason is the total uselessness of tanks in BF3. It's really annoying having helos able to kill your tanks while hovering from very far away and at an obscene height.

Jets....just fly in a very slooow ground strafe and kill your tanks in one pass.

Stingers, mobile AAs and static AAs are just there for show. Air units just launch decoys/fire extinguishers and fly off far away to heal. They are already near to useless in the regular BF3 maps. I wonder how will those supposedly anti-air weapons will fare in "the biggest maps in Battlefield?"

[unchartedxplorer]

Not gonna buy any more battlefield content (or games) until they introduce more players on the consoles. On maps like operation firestorm it's like a ghostown.
^Love how everyone just ignored Lividasses comment :D

[Bladesfist]

They did not cut the player count to troll console gamers, it was done because of technical limitations.

[unchartedxplorer]

I know, but DICE might squeeze in 8 more players in bf4. Doubt it though.

[Bladesfist]

I remember when the player counts were announced and then console gamers laughed saying that 64 players is to much. Then it came out and the complained about maps being empty :S
