First Shots of Battlefield 3's Battlelog Hit the Web

Richard Walker

EA and DICE have revealed the very first images of what Battlefield 3's Battlelog will look like, inspired by the popular Autolog feature debuted in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and implemented in just about every other EA racer since. Battlelog looks like it might be the most advanced version of the feature yet though, looking more like Facebook.

Boasting a crisp and clean interface with all sorts of social networking functionality, including built-in chat, Battlefield 3's Battlelog had been posted by EA as Battleblog post #3, but was quickly taken down for some reason. Perhaps we weren't supposed to be seeing this just yet.

But that didn't stop Battlefield fan site Battlefieldo from grabbing the screens from the piece, showing the Battlelog feature in all its Facebook-aping glory. Take a look at the pics below. Battlefield 3 is out on October 25th in North America and October 28th in Europe.

  • In b4 Call of Duty Elite flames. Btw looks great, i like the visuals.
  • Is this going to be some sort of website? i thought it may be some sort of app on the dashboard sort of like halo waypoint
  • At least it's free unlike "the other" lol I don't see myself using this too much though, I'm too busy playing the game itself :D
  • theres co-op ? SWEET !
  • Wow that looks really well developed. Good Job again DICE!
  • Hope its like Bungie.Net when it updates after a match instanly
  • Facebook anyone?
  • Wow lovely it look future, cannot wait for this come on November. #7 I did have facebook. I not accept age under 16 years old people in my facebook. I am 26 yrs old. I need be trust for ages people in my facebook lol
  • Seems like EA deliberately leaked this since COD:Elite went beta. Not complaining, it sure looks nice. I wonder if they'll beta it along with the game in September.
  • @1 Lol, I was gonna put that!
  • I guess this pic is nothing more than a demo, because the details are clearly out of whack. I see a rank 11 for someone who ranked up to 30, and I also see avenger and repair pins for someone who got totally different awards. And I dunno what an M *P* 60 is, but I can tell you right now that that's clearly an M249 :D Guaranteed, the Battlelog will be much more accurate than this, but this so far is really just a quick 'shop. :D
  • Why can't they have this for like all games? A gaming Facebook?
  • GOOD PLAI BATTLEFIELD
  • in my opinion this is a little to much lol :) but sure, cool nonetheless :)) and i also see it says Co-op which has me even more exited for this game if that is even possible ;D
  • Wow, you guys made it to comment 15+ and didn't start a CoD: Elite flame war. Keep it up!
  • @8 I think he was just comparing similarities between the two.
  • Great for PC gamers...... but dont see myself really using this. There are plenty of other sites that do what this does(except for joining games in session).
  • Elite and Battlelog are both free so its a great way for gamers to view their stats and stay connected for their respective games. It will certainly make organising game nights around the weekends easier!
  • Looks awesome.! I hope it also shares your unlockables on fb (ranks, items, guns)
  • Any word on if there will be a Battlelog Android app?
  • It looks....beautiful. Looking at this made me even more excited. Great work DICE.
  • Very nice. Looks better than the COD garbage already just in screenshots. Better yet, it's FREE. Suck it Activision!
  • And 22 ends the peace... Get ready
  • Winners come here! Losers go here! http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-8999-Call-of-Duty--Elite-Invite-Only-Beta-Fires-Up-Today-[Updated-with-Video].html
  • Is BF3 going to have clans?? Like BF2??
  • you should never compare anything to facebook if you want it to seem cool... facebook is as gay as johnny weir.
  • @22 CODs is free aswell last time i checked. You get everything battlelog is offering FOR FREE with added benefits which EA isint offering for a price so research about the topic you are flaming before you run your mouth off with wrong shit.
  • ill use it to keep up with awards and stuff when im at work, but xbox live is the only social network i need :)
  • Lol it does look like Facebook!
  • Looks clean and nice. Can't see myself using it too much though unless I have nothing better to do at work and there is always something to do at work:-P
  • Nice, I wonder if it'll have a stat on how many times you've been spawn killed?
  • @27 You need to do YOUR homework before you say anything. COD Elite is a SUBSCRIPTION BASED SERVICE. Battlefield will be free.
  • @#32 Not exactly. While there will be option to pay monthly fee for extra services (including free DLC, prices and such - pretty much getting your money worth...) they said that a lot of aspects will be free. No one knows exactly how much will be free and how much will require you to pay though...
  • Seeing as unless it's a new Halo or Gears of War game I usually have 8 or so friends playing new releases, definitely not enough to make using a service like this worth while.. It does look extremely well designed though.
  • Ive read the pdf relating to the services the free version of Elite offers and I had to laugh as it states "We believe that the free elements of Call of Duty Elite will be superior to any free service currently on the market because we are offering more features than any other service out there. Additionally, many of Elite's free features which will debut with Modern Warfare 3 are industry firsts and offer a new level of innovation." NOT!! Please read the FAQ, Its funny as shit.
  • @27 your a friggin cod fanboy dude i just got through reading your little helpless cries about how cod is a "different game" every year so really get the fuck on if you dont have anything positive to say about bf3
  • This looks awesome and I'm not a huge fan of CoD or BF but BF3 might be a day one buy.
  • Looks nice. Seems like something I will use.
  • cant wait to try this out at gamefest!
  • For everyone who is ranting on about the free vs subscription COD elite, I can already tell you how it will be. The free version gives you the basics, and I mean BASICS (meaning the stuff that was already in the game). Just like xbox live, :you don't have to pay", but if you don't you get NOTHING.
  • #36 Made me laugh. "get the fuck on if you dont have anything positive to say about bf3" Do we really live in this type of world? I'm getting BF3 week one (whenever I get into the city after it debuts). Does anyone know if this will be necessity? Because of Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2 I've had to make like 6 or 7 different accounts to get certain items for EA games (EA.com, Bioware Social, Gun Club, EA Downloader, VIP, EA Support {had to make seperate login for some reason}, etc., etc.) I'm already in BF VIP and EA Gun Club so I'm wondering if this will also be needed to gain access to certain items.

  • @36 How old are you, four? You seem to take this WAY to seriously. On-topic: The screens actually look pretty mint... but I don't really see any potential past the stat tracking. The fact is, if I want to get someone online with me, I'll text them or shoot them a message on Facebook. Using a separate service for ONE game just seems unnecessary. :/ Same reason I won't bother with COD:Elite. Stat tracking's cool, but after that I'm not really bothered.
  • Looks sick. Glad EA sees that there is no reason to charge for this. not trying to flame but I wonder when Activisions money grabbing and whoring of the CoD series will bite them in the ass?
