Battlefield 3 Unveiling Planned for GDC 2011
by Xav de Matos, Jan 11, 2011 6:00am PSTWhen rumblings of a popular EA property appearing at the Spike VGA awards were in full-murmur, many were hoping for a full reveal of the shooter Battlefield 3. Sadly, that's not what happened.
With the dark and snowy past behind us, we look to the future and specifically to GDC 2011 where the publisher has confirmed it will officially reveal DICE's latest title.
On March 1, 2011, during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, EA will host an event for the anticipated game. While Battlefield 3 has yet to come out of its bunker, EA has used the brand for promotion purposes. As an added incentive to purchase Medal of Honor near launch, EA upgraded the initial wave of copies to a "Limited Edition," which included (among other items) exclusive beta access for Battlefield 3
According to IGN, EA also plans to showcase Shadows of the Damned, Alice Madness Returns, Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning, and Crysis 2 during the trade show.

1. Knifing is terrible compared to BC1. You can't pull our your knife for BC1 for knife fights, and it misses about 95% of the time.
2. Spotting is F-ing STUPID. In BC1, and older BF games, spotting actually took some effort. You had to hold your crosshairs over something for 2-3 seconds to spot it for your team. In this game you can simple look in an area and tap the spot button and a bunch of guys light up instantly. It practically ruins the game. And don't tell me "play HC mode"... HC mode is even worse, you die too fast to make vehicle combat fun at all, and I like the HUD.
I've bought almost every BF game since the series launched with 1942, but if they don't fix those 2 things I'll never buy a BF game again.
