It's no exaggeration to say that Battlefield 3 really pours on the adrenaline-charged action in precisely the way that many BF2 fans have been eagerly awaiting. With 9 huge multiplayer maps and 5 game modes (Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Rush, Squad Rush and Conquest), playing BF3 is as close as many of us will get to the feeling of being in the thick of a large-scale battle. Fighter aircraft take to the skies again, there are over 20 driveable vehicles, and a whole new range of vehicle and weapons modifications provide something for every style of gameplay. Those of you familiar with Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will notice the similarities, however BF3 turns the formula back towards the wider mix of infantry and vehicle warfare that was in Battlefield 2. Your entire body would be moving, the OLED display in your visors would bring you closer psychologically, it would be one great leap from today's way of gaming and computer usage toward deeper and greater immersion.Battlefield 3 (BF3) takes massive online warfare to a whole new level of immersion. You would no longer be sitting at a desk staring into a monitor using a mouse and keyboard moving only your fingers, hands, and minimally your arms. You could learn to do things, have your muscle memory adapt to movements, learn things truly as though they were real, and then go out and apply it! Your entire body would be moving, the OLED display in your visors would bring you closer psychologically, it would be one great leap from today's way of gaming and computer usage toward deeper and greater immersion.
Imagine a skydiving simulator, sports simulator (compared to today's joystick/controller/keyboard/mouse-based games), wrestling/boxing simulator, swimming simulator, space simulator. In real life it would appear as though you are placing your hands on invisible walls - like a mime! The arms would prevent you from moving your hands "through the wall". Imagine walking up to a wall in-game and placing your hands on the wall. Your physical strength would could too, so as you wrestle whomever on the ground (in-game), you feel their strength against yours. Imagine sneaking up behind someone, placing your weapon down, and tackling a crouching enemy soldier from behind and having a wrestling fist-fight on the ground with your opponent. What you do with your body in the real world is what happens in-game with your character. Just image playing a game like Counter-Strike or Battlefield 3 where there are no animations in models YOU are the animator, and YOU animate real-time. Of course, there would have to be some safety mechanisms put into place so as not to cause serious injury (such as forcing you to do splits or bend your elbow backwards). The arms would also have mechanics so that they could move and manipulate your body. In addition, there would be 4 Kinect-like devices to capture extremely accurate and precise movements and modeling of your body, and as part of the suit to which arms of the gyroscope attach you would wear a helmet with a built-in OLED in the visor (which is also not see-through - the visor is fully opaque), built-in microphone, and built-in headphones. The foundation of the design would be based around a gyroscope you would be suspended inside this by arms that reach out and attach to parts of your body (joints, ligaments, vertices, etcetera). I have an idea that would be revolutionary and doable.
