New Battlefield Blog Post:
Looking Ahead
If somone could post the entire text of the blog post, I would appreciate it.
I gather they are saying they are focusing all resources on BF3. But, I doubt any resources were working on 1943 and Onslaught for PC any way, so this is just an attempt to put a positive spin on it.

There comes a time when we as a studio have to choose where to best put our efforts. At DICE were dedicated to taking care of our products after launch, and also hell bent on building new, innovative and high quality games.
In my day to day work, I look at our release schedule and the studios capacity, weighing them against our wild ambitions to create awesomeness. I often need to make hard calls regarding where we put the studios focus. Part of the challenge is to balance work on the new against the already shipped, prioritizing the amount of energy spent on the known franchises and the time spent on developing something entirely new.
This is one of those cross roads where I need to make a hard decision. While well continue supporting Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and previous games, its time to look ahead to the next giant leap for DICE the release of
Battlefield 3, powered by the mighty
Frostbite 2 engine. Our goal is crystal clear: were going to build
the best Battlefield game ever, and well do whatever it takes to make this the biggest launch in DICEs history.
We know some of you eagerly have been awaiting Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught on PC. Im sad to say that these two titles are now officially cancelled. Instead, our talented teams will focus on delivering the greatest possible gaming experience in our next behemoth release. Were confident this will lead to an even better experience in Battlefield 3, not only on PC, but on all platforms.
For an idea of what that means, watch this space for some exciting news I think youll like.
Best regards,
