| Battlefield 3 Development Confirmed by EA Exec; This true sequel won't be making it out | |

There's not much to go on this story at this point, but that doesn't matter. Hardcore Battlefield fans will be relieved to hear that a proper Battlefield sequel -- Battlefield 3 -- is in the works at DICE. Electronic Arts chief operating officer John Pleasants revealed the news at the William Blair Growth Stock Conference, reports The Feed. "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." EA's fiscal year runs through the end of March 2010, meaning we won't see the game until April 2010 at the very earliest. A number of Battlefield titles have been announced or released since the release of the last two core titles in the series, Battlefield 2 (pictured above) and the subsequent Battlefield 2142, none of which have been accepted by the PC Battlefield crowd as a true successor. We've heard rumblings about Battlefield 3 in the past, and DICE has said that it hasn't completely abandoned the PC roots of the series. The upcoming Battlefield 1943 seemed like an indication of that, and now the confirmation of a real Battlefield 3 should ease fans' worries that the Battlefield franchise was devoting itself to being entirely console-centric. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3174727 Fucking SCORE. |

I KNOW. In my book the battlefield series has been the best FPS series by far. Team work is sooo money. If there is enough interest I would be down for having a BF3 Clan. |

I don't see how people can LOVE BF2 and hate 2142. They are essentially the same game, different graphics, but one has mechs and an original idea for a setting. I truly love both. Infact, i think we all should reinstall and light it up. |

I didn't hate it, I just wasn't into it enough to buy it. Didn't feel different enough from BF2 to be worth the money. |

Been a while since I've had an fps clan, and I'm sure it would be much easier on the schedules of most of the people that post here... since few play games long enough to remain dedicated to an MMO. |
