Battlefield 3 is ahead of its time thanks to the performance of the new version of DICE's cutting-edge Frostbite™ 2 game engine. This cutting-edge technology forms the basis of the game, which will stand out above all with high-quality graphic processing, overall robustness, sophisticated destruction effects, dynamic sound and incredibly realistic character animations. With bullets whizzing past your head, collapsing walls and explosions forcing you to fall to the ground, the battlefield feels more realistic and allows for a much higher level of interaction than ever before. In Battlefield 3, players find themselves in the role of a member of an elite US Marine unit, who is among the first to join the fight. They will experience adrenaline-pumping missions in diverse locations such as Paris, Tehran and New York.
