article from gamingunion.net on Battlefield 3. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 hasn't even hit retail shelves yet, but already there's been sparse talk of the inevitable release of Battlefield 3. In an interview with Fredrik Liliegren, the CEO of DICE from 1988 to 2000, and Studio Manager of DICE Canada from 2001 to 2006, Liliegren told GamingUnion.net what he could about Battlefield 3. Gaming Union: How do you think the Battlefield series has developed since you left DICE? Liliegren: Well I knew that they were going to the console route because the numbers on the PC where dwindling. I know what they were talking about on the PC side for [the next] Battlefield, and they haven't announced any of that yet, after three years, so I know what's coming, and I still can't talk about it because I'm still under NDA (non-disclosure agreement). I mean Battlefield Heroes is something that we talked about back when even Jeff [Evans] was working at DICE, in regards of taking Battlefield into a micro-transaction type model. We actually worked on that initial prototype for that here in Canada, just to see how we would split it up from a design standpoint. I think for the console side, the first outing on [Xbox] 360 and PS2 and Xbox was really weak because we didn't have a single player experience. I think that Bad Company 2 is going to be really good because I think these guys are really smart and they learned the lesson. What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away. GU: Even after 3 years? Liliegren: That's why it's going to blow people away, because it's not Modern Warfare 2 PC, it's not that experience. Considering Liliegren no long works for DICE, his opinion of the game is likely a lot more honest than you'd hear from any current executive. DICE has themselves confirmed that they've been developing Battlefield 3 for some years.Will the next Battlefield game be mind blowing? Rumor also has it that will have the Frostbite 2 engine. After all these years of little leaks about the game, would you expect it to be anything less than a hit?
Rumor: Battlefield 3 to go Multi-Platform The former CEO of DICE, Frederick Liljegren, wouldn't be too surprised if the next installment of the Battlefield series, Battlefield 3, found its way onto the consoles in addition to a PC release. While, obviously, this is merely speculation on the part of a former CEO of the company, there is some basis in his statements. During his time with DICE, Frederick Liljegren worked on the PC side of things, but reports that the franchise was likely moving towards console releases when, or if, the next Battlefield segment rolled out due to declining numbers of PC users (though Battlefield 3 will still be available for PC). While details are still transparent, at best, surrounding the new release, judging by the tone of the press release given by Liljegren, be prepared to have your mind blown. Again, nothing is confirmed so far as Battlefield 3 is concerned. Just sit tight and wait for official details to be revealed about the game that every Battlefield fan is eagerly waiting for.

Hope some site gives out free keys as usual. I really not feeling to buy MoH.
Ah boy EA...nice one.Love em or hate em...I can't knock their hustle. I think they realise by now that the kind of pre-release buzz that was generated by the first Bad Company 2 just isn't there for Medal Of Honor. Personally, I'm not having as much fun with the beta as I did with BC2. Dare I say its kinda 'plain'?I'm sorry, but BC2 has spoiled me. The bar was raised to new heightswith that game, and the MP for MoH has been found wanting.Still...I know I'm buying Battlefield 3 for sure, but early beta access sure would be nice. Kudos to EA for making it multiplatform.
Im looking forward to it , All they need to do is take Bad Company 2's core gameplay and bring back Battlefield 2's range of vehicles , large maps and 64 player game modes. Destructable environments would make bombing aircraft truly deadly . I'd also like to see naval vessels make a return, maybe with some ship to ship combat as well
...and I was thinking of running a server for this...but If I'm not even getting any help to keep our EXISTING Battlefield server running...then what's the point?
