Criterion Games working on a Need For Speed game wasn't the only surprising bit of news that Electronic Arts chief operating office John Pleasants tucked into his presentation at the William Blair Growth Stock Conference I listened to today. Pleasants confirmed he's seen DICE's work on Battlefield 3.
"I've had the luxury of looking at Battlefield 3 over at DICE in Sweden and was highly impressed by the way the team is working on that product," he said. "Of course, that's not [coming out] in the fiscal year, but that is a product that is looking very good."
Gamers worried that Battlefield: Bad Company

YES! Battlefield 2 is one of my favorite fps of all time, i was disappointed by Bad Company but i'm looking forward to both 1943 and this.

ObSoL33tSNiiPer
SWEET!!! I am also waiting for Bad Company 2!!! and Battlefield 1943!!!
Ewoc
GO BATTLEFIELD 1942!!
komradkyle
Ok BF bad company 2, 1943, heroes and BF3 thats 4 games not even out yet? are they spreading themselves too thin? I think so. I would rather play 1 good game a lot then play a bunch of ok games. I LOVE online for 2 and 2142 but bad company got really boring fast because they lacked all the communication and customizable and features from the original game, If this has everything that made 2142 and 2 great and then expanded on that i would be happy but right now I feel like they keep cutting apart the same game and releasing dumb down versions of it and this is really pissing me off because I love the game but I can't play all of them at the same time.

YES! I loved BF2, 2142, and Bad Company. This is sure to be a winner!

I so called this weeks ago... when they did BF1942 they went to battlefield 2, and then 2142... so when they made bf1943 i called it! they lined them selfs up for: BF3 and BF2143...

most likely bad company 2 will be the last of the series, 1943 is an arcade game that looks awesome. hopefully battlefield 3 will take after battlefield 2 modern combat

It is about freakin' time! My group, the best clan and best managed game server, (http://www.nunya-clan.com probably) will host this as soon as it is available. Please feel free to come by and visit, hop in to a game session. I guarantee you will enjoy the experience. Server IP is "72.37.185.26" and we do host a 50 slot public Ventrilo server, too.
See you on the battle field!

question: did Pleasants made his statement at the main or the breakout session? I listend to the main session twice and wasn't able to find it.

I wish this is true. We are all hoping for BF3!! Its going to be insane!
Tasos
Awesome news. BF2 is the all time greatest fps for many reason. Totally immersive. I hope they just improve on that style and also find a way to keep hacks from ruining the game.

ABOUT F'N TIME!!!!

I agree with comradkyle, on great game is way better than 3-4 ok ones. Take Team Fortress 2 for instance, even though is 5+ years old I still play it a suprising amount, it's acually kind of sad how long I can play that game witout getting bored (*cough 9 hours strait cough*) (plus this is on the PS3), just the map Dustbowl can keep me ocupied for 4 hours befor it gets repetative. Great games are great for a reason remember that Dice.

"Team Fortress 2 is a team-based first-person shooter multiplayer video game developed by Valve Corporation. A sequel to Valve's previous Team Fortress Classic, it was first released as part of the video game compilation The Orange Box on October 10, 2007 for Windows and the Xbox 360.[1] A PlayStation 3 version then followed on November 22, 2007.[2] The game was later released as a standalone package for Windows on April 9, 2008."
Just saying...
