Watch Out Call of Duty, These Battlefield 3 Screens Are Stunning
It’s no surprise to anyone that the Call of Duty franchise has managed the incredible feat of total world domination. My grandma knows what Call of Duty is and she’s so old. In an attempt to steal a larger slice of the shooter market pie, damn, now I’m hungry, EA is putting more effort into creating top tier modern warfare games. The Medal of Honor reboot wasn’t the critical darling they desperately wanted it to be (though it sold well), there’s the upcoming multi-platform Crysis 2 and finally, the most likely contender to take some of Call of Duty’s success, the Battlefield series.
The next game in the series, Battlefield 3 has Call of Duty right in its sights and if the gameplay above is anything to go by I think I can honestly say this game looks better than its competitors. Whether its story, gameplay and multiplayer can compete have yet to be determined, but there’s really no argument that the game doesn’t look fucking incredible. Head past the break for a couple dozen gorgeous screenshots from the game, all big and crisp for your viewing pleasure.

This game just made ten minutes of glorious love to my delicate eyeballs. I think I need a cigarette.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
