Gonna be a good week for Battlefield fans:

DICE is going big with Battlefield 3 at this year's Game Developers Conference. On March 01, attendees will be able to feel the battlefield like never before. Stay tuned on March 02 as online coverage from this event will start to air.

Not content with demoing our next installment in the Battlefield series, we will also give multiple in-depth talks on the technology behind Battlefield 3, our new game engine Frostbite 2. If you are attending GDC, pop by for the following talks from our awesome Frostbite team here at DICE. After GDC is over, these talks will be made available at publications.dice.se. Hope to see you at the show!

didn't read the entire thread, but is it true that BF3 will be 64bit only? someone told me that, but I find it hard to believe.

doubt it will be solely 64 bit but @repi, the main pc architect has mentioned many times that the best experience will be 64 bit and dx11
