Battlefield...3?

[peez]

So is EA making a new PC battlefield? And if they are is it going to be like Bad company with a few new perk's or a completely new game?

 

[minmaster]

seems like they're using the same engine as bad company, frostbite DX, but a totally new game. but i figure they will use many of the things they developed for bad company so it's going to save them a lot of resources to come up with BF3.

oh and nothing officially on BF3 has been announced from DICE/EA. but it's a given and there's been few leaks about it being developed last year. if i had to guess the game won't be released until spring 2009 since they haven't even announced it.

 

[peez]

Dang, because Bad Company is really fun and i could see that being on the PC more successful than BF2 was when it came out.

They "hinted" at it in a recent interview:

GS: If Heroes does take off, does that preclude the launch of a traditional Battlefield-style game for the PC for the next six years?

BC: No, there are 250 people at DICE, several teams, and there are only 15 people working on Heroes.

GS: You think the audiences would be different enough?

BC: Absolutely. We're still absolutely committed to the core Battlefield PC gamer fans, and there are 250 people at DICE. Make what you will of those two statements.

 

[TehMac]

Yeah, so we know they're working on it. When it will be announced is the question. And it's a very irritating one.

all i make of that is that they have 250 morons who can't put out a decent game.

BF1942 was awesome. BF2 was really good but didn't quite measure up to 42.
Is the glass completely empty for you?

normally i don't agree with you pontifex, but you are 100% right on this one. BF2 was a piece of shit. i don't understand how a menu or a level takes so long to load.

Not really, its still a good game but EA fail's at every game they do with customer support and eventually give up on them even if they're doing well. I wish someone else would take up the responsibility of making the BF games or EA to actually focus on a few good games rather than 900 horribad ones. Damn sellouts

i feel sorry that you settle for mediocrity and let EA steal money from you or that they've got you scammed so hard you willingly shell out money for their garbage.

B F 2 is starting to show its age

I may go back to COD4

Bad company is somewhat of a testing ground, if you will, for the engine that will run BF3.

Well man, I hope there are some titles out there that you can enjoy. I never said the games were perfect but they were a ton of fun. I got my first taste of modding doing server side stuff for Desert Combat and working as a tester for DC Final. I then tested and learned a lot working with the old DCX guys on BF2. So I did have fun with the games. I didn't let anyone steal money from me and I didn't get scammed. For my $40 I paid for 42 I got a couple of years of great gaming out of it. I probably would have had close to that much out of BF2 if a trip to the desert didn't happen. In fact I recently have played some great mods for BF2 POE, AIX, PR, and FH. To each his own.

There are, they're just few and far between.

what happen to heroes

 

[Boobs McGee]

They said there wouldn't really be a firm release date. Something like the beta would just continue to grow until everyone could just get it. You can google for more info.

 

[TehMac]

So we know BF3 is in development, I am excited because Bad Company has done very well on the xbox 360, and I'm eager to see the PC engine and blow shit up.

 

[scheibler1]

wtf is bad company not released for the pc?

 

[Gothgar]

I wonder how many ads will be in this one...

Because it's not a PC oriented game. It's designed as a console experiment and I wouldn't want it for PC, tbh.

I'm sure most are working on Mirrors Edge. 3 platforms...
