Modern era it is then...

From Wikipedia:

"Battlefield 3 will feature the maximalist combined arms battles that made the series popular across single-player, co-operative and multiplayer modes. It will reintroduce several elements removed from the console-oriented Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position, and (on PC only) 64-player battles.[2]"

A new animation system will allow players to "drag fallen comrades into safety and mount weapons on almost any part of the terrain."[3] The destructible scenery of DICE's Frostbite engine will also be in use.

"Maps set in Paris, Tehran and New York have been confirmed. As a whole the game will cover urban streets, metropolitan downtown areas, and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat."

I was hoping for WWII again but hey, this does sound cool...

yes, yes, yes! *jumping up and down in anticipation* I hope that the annoying kiddies stick with playing MW.
finally 64 players again! The 32 player cap and the small map size prevented me from getting Bad Company.
I also like the modern day setting, glad they didn't make another 2142!

But then ofc, we're 6 (!!!) years later now, 64 players should be manageable....and I'll go BERSERK if they don't include the airplanes!

Also, here's one hoping that the knife will not be a quick command weapon. Put it back in the inventory where it belongs!

Well, the netcode has to handle more information, for example now we have destructable environment which BF2 didn't have. Plus the upload speed of many internet connections is still not much higher than 2004, but I hope they have no cap when you play on custom servers - if you can play on them...

I also hope that the ability to mount your weapon will make it into the final version. I always seemed kind of odd, that you could prone behind a wall, look over it, but are unable to place your rifle on it...

A quick accessible knife is ok in my book, in real life you draw a knife much faster than it takes to switch from a machine gun to a sidearm.
