New details of "Battlefield 3" emerge as the game comes to receive more time in the spotlight since its announcement just days ago. Alan Kertz, senior gameplay designer at DICE/EA revealed the following details about the upcoming team-based shooter:
* Prone will be available on all 3 platforms, not just PC
* Dolphin Driving/Dropshooting will not work.
* Spotting (in its BC2 incarnation) will be making a return
* While the PC version will have up to 64 player online matches, the number is limited to 24 on consoles
* There will be a friendly fire option, disabled by default
* Knives and dogtags will return
* There will be no ziplines or grapple hooks
* There will be bullet drop, but it “doesn’t work the same as BC2 though, it’s a much deeper system.“
* No tracer darts
"Battlefield 3" will feature a full-fledged single player campaign in addition to its dedicated multiplayer offerings and is slated to release later this year on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
