BF: Battlefield 3 saldrá en Otoño de 2011

#3393 Nos estamos guiando por la Alpha, que lo normal sería que el juego final rindiese incluso mejor.

#3394 La experiencia con BF2 me dice que hay bastante diferencia entre jugar 8 pavos en un mapa que 32/64, añade los mapas grandes (que Metro no es de los grandes) y además hay ciertas cosas que están capadas en la ALPHA.

Ojala tengas razón, pero creo que las circunstancias de la ALPHA son distintas al GOLD.

No sabia donde ponerlo, asi que lo dejo aqui pese a leer lo comentado por #3401 xD

Es de un blog, no se si es oficial de bf3 pero ponen lo requerimientos para el bf3, aqui lo dejo.

No hay nada que no nos esperaramos xD

Ranked vs Unranked

One of the biggest choices which a server administrator has to make is, whether to run the server in Ranked or Unranked mode.
In Ranked mode, player progression is tracked on EAs master servers. Weapons are unlocked by playing the game. Player progression is also visible on Battlelog. The server administrators will have to abide by the Battlefield Rules of Engagement.
In Unranked mode, player progression is not tracked on the master servers. Server administrators have free reign on such servers – no Battlefield Rules of Engagement to heed. They can control in detail which weapons are available to the players, etc. This mode is suited to playing clan matches, tournaments, or to those players who just like the fairness of everyone having the same range of weapons available to them.

PunkBuster

BF3 will use PunkBuster as its anti-cheat system. Game servers that run in ranked mode are required to have PunkBuster active.
There have been problems with the PunkBuster screenshot mechanism under DirectX 10/11 in the past. However, we have collaborated with EvenBalance to make screenshots function reliably with DX10/DX11 in BF3.

Third party anti-cheat organizations

There are several community initiatives against cheating. These initiatives are usually volunteer organizations that maintain their own databases with cheaters. They do both manual work - reviewing screenshots, game recordings, and other cheating evidence – and also implement automated systems.
It is up to each individual server administrator whether to join with one or more of these organizations.

While not officially partnering with these organizations, we try to ensure that BF3 works well with their systems in time for the launch.
The biggest three organizations that support Battlefield games are PBBans (PBBans | Always Quality over Quantity), GGC-Stream (GGC-Stream / News) and PunksBusted (PunksBusted.com Sponsored by Ventrilo). There are also several smaller organizations around.
