Battlefield 3

A few days ago, a batch of rumors were posted on Chinese message forum Chiphell which claim to give a variety of details for the next major chapter of DICE’s Battlefield series.

Supposedly, these details were leaked from EA China—and before you call that crazy, yes, there is actually a Chinese division of the company. Over on NeoGAF, moderator Nirolak got his friend “Lasagna”—as in, a person nicknamed that, not the actual food dish—to help provide a proper translation for what the Chinese forum post is claiming.

Obviously, take all of this with a grain of salt. There’s nothing totally crazy here, so it’s totally possible that all of these details are spot-on. Of course, it’s also possible that somebody decided to make up a realistic-sounding list of features and see who would believe it.

• Coming on October 23rd, 2013
• Released on PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and will be one of the first games released for “next-gen consoles”
• Running on Frostbite 2.0 engine
• Commander System returns, supports motion tracking and voice control
• Improved Battlelog integration and stat-tracking
• Your profile can be linked with other devices
• Auto login, internet connection always required

• The game will supposedly be easier to pick up and play—supposedly for the benefit of “Call of Duty players”
• Support for video recording / playback / sharing
• Have “gem store for DLC and other such stuff”
• Three factions: USA, Russia, China

What do you think? If these features end up being real, do they make you excited for Battlefield 4?
