Battlefield 3 PS3 Footage

The Battlefield Blog has the overnight showing of Battlefield 3 on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. This is the console debut of the first-person shooter sequel, as they play the PlayStation 3 edition. That is actually the newest aspect of the clip, as the gameplay is set on the same level as previous footage from the game. DICE's Johan Andersson tweets a response to a comment about the visuals: "why would anyone expect that console would look the same as PC? if that was the case we would have failed with the PC version."

I'm not saying destruction necessarily makes a game less strategic. Just that there didn't seem to be much strategy on display in the BC2 beta, beyond levelling the entire map until the enemy has no place to hide.

Part of that was people just messing around with the destruction and seeing what they can and can't blow up, as well as just pure enjoyment at the ability to do it. Another thing that affected it was that people had yet to adapt to the new mechanic, not yet understanding what it could mean.

Nowadays, it plays quite a bit differently, and you see a lot of very cool things happening as a result of the destruction (speaking in terms of tactical decisions made, not just 'wow that exploded!'). It becomes especially relevant, I found in the rush modes. I tended to play squad rush more often than not, and the ability to open up new routes to the bomb, or expose people defending it by blowing a hole in the wall with an RPG or grenade launcher really made it play differently than the usual bomb modes from say CoD where you ended up with heavy choke points at doorways and halls near the bomb location.

In standard games, defenders generally have a clear advantage on bomb style maps. With destruction added, I felt it was much more balanced and felt like more of an active game when on defense since you couldn't just settle in a corner with your aim on a doorway.
