The war of the modern first-person shooters continues this holiday, with DICE and EA revealing that Battlefield 3 will arrive on October 25, 2011. Utilizing DICE's proprietary "Frostbite 2" engine, Battlefield 3 is launching on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
The Battlefield 3 multi-platform beta is scheduled to kick-start in September. Beta passes had been given away with new game sales of last year's Medal of Honor.
EA notes that it will show off the PC and PS3 versions of Battlefield 3 at E3 2011. A number of features are expected to debut during E3, which officially kicks off tomorrow.
Shacknews will push itself to the front of the line to make sure we get some time with the game. Stay tuned.

Added details on the beta, which starts in September.

God I wish game companies would learn to space out their games....
-
Agreed. There is this, Skyrim, and Modern Warfare all being released around the same time. Yes, I know Battlefield 3 will be much better than MW 3, but I had still planned to put some time in to it. I always focus on one game a time, so I'll probably have to put off Skyrim and MW3 for a couple months.

BF2 came out in 2005....
-
Yeah but Bad Company 1 and 2 came out since then

it goes in a 2 year cycle, we are currently in the year where everyone will release their stuff in the fall/xmas time.
They will then realize they're idiots
next year there will be nothing in the fall/xmas because they spaced it out
then they will realize they had an opportunity to sell more because no one released anything
repeat. -

A lot of you above misunderstood me, I guess I worded it poorly. I wish the industry would release more games throughout the year rather than barraging us with all of them during the holidays. In October alone my 3 most anticipated games are coming out (Uncharted 3, Dark Souls, and BF3). Shortly after that you have things like Batman, Saints Row, Skyrim, the list goes on... I would love to be able to devote more time to each by getting one or two now rather than later.

Only a 1 month beta? Why not just release a demo, I doubt they will be able to fix anything that is wrong in the beta in time.

In that timeframe they're probably looking to test their backend infrastructure, not the guts of the game itself.

any word on steam and system requirements ?

No mention of Steam yet. Right now they are releasing it through their own download service, Origin: http://store.origin.com/

It's on D2D too.

I just hope that they manage to work out their linked accounts by October! I want to buy it on Xbox as well as PC but hate having to unlock everything twice/ divide my time evenly between platforms just to stay level.
