- Lkr721993, on 10/13/2007, -5/+71shouldn't they fix 2142, let alone bf2 still?
- crerwin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35How about widescreen support this time around? I don't need to look at 79 other people in 4:3.
- aduckie, on 10/13/2007, -12/+46No XP support? Pfft.
- fatadamblog, on 10/15/2007, -1/+32EA is milking milking milking the Battlefield series so expect MANY expansion packs for this one.
- NikkiA, on 10/13/2007, -0/+30Yeah, 2 to actually fight, and 78 to camp the vehicle spawns.
- Tu13erhead, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28Um, so are battlefield4.com through battlefield9.com
- CommissarVlad, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Holy hell, OSX? EA actually followed through on one of their promises!
- Turambar, on 11/14/2007, -2/+28EA sees no point in patches unless it can charge for them. bastards.
- Darren07, on 10/13/2007, -3/+2680 players! damn, those are huge teams
and a map called "Baghdad Burning" sure does sound exciting, can someone say "IED"? :) - Talus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26So long as the Battlefield games continue to kick ass, why WOULDN'T they create BF3? I'll keep playing BF to BF10 and beyond so long as they continue to improve and innovate and provide the amazing sand-box battlefield experience.
- doctorfungi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Yes. If the maps are big enough.
- bossm4n, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20FTA - "Built-in auto software updater (no more patches!, ed.)" This has disaster written all over it.
- BJGallagher, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19Yes In-Game Friends list, something BF2 severely lacked.
- Slade605, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16I believe the proper term is "booster pack"
- Slade605, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Well you can't have only one immature person screaming racial slurs. That would be uncalled for.
- Falldog, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17While I was a big fan of 1942, Vietnam, and 2, 2142 and being owned by EA broke my heart. As long as it's owned by a company who doesn't understanding supporting it's products after release and pushes expansions packs instead of original feature I'm not going to hold my breath for 3.
- doctorfungi, on 11/14/2007, -4/+17The game's 3 years old nearly (BF2). People played it regardless of the bugs and had a good time. I'd rather they made a new game on a new engine rather than mess around with the old one.
- EssPii, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15More players does not equal better battles...
- Mononuclear, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18You forgot to edit out the "improve and innovate" part and switch it with "reskin the same buggy crap"
- lacronicus, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16Whats the sixth class?
"Six playable classes; Sniper, Assault, Engineer, Medic and Support."
anti vehicle maybe?
Looks very interesting though, definite buy if it ever comes out (gah, late 2008) - MackPrime, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11so this is BF2-2. I think EA has gone into two parallel naming conventions, Dates (past or present) or numbers (modern).
- gadgetuk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Bah! You two only bothered checking to see if there was some good cybersquatting to be had ;)
- tryte, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Good thing it has "Breaking" in the title, I never would have clicked otherwise.
- ilves7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10what they really should do is make battlefield 1917... the reason 1942 was so great was that the weapons/vehicles actually required some skill, and the airplane fights were SOOO much cooler in the old style planes than in the modern jets. Propeller gunfights were much more exciting, as well as actually having to divebomb your enemies. Plus, you can't drive boats in any of the new one. The 1942 map with 2 carriers on a water map with a bunch of airplanes fighting was awesome... they had nothing like that in the next installments.

- Darren07, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Citing the article: "[Update 3] For clarification, the document doesn’t say that XP is not supported, it only lists Vista and OS X."
- rejectpenguin, on 10/11/2007, -11/+19Awesome, so pretty much its BF2 but re skinned. I didn't hear anything new that wasn't already in bf2. Milk a franchise till it's dead, ea. BF1942 was the best of all the battlefield games.
- Dgen_X, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8if the lag can be controlled....it equals more intense battles
but I'll believe it when I log into a server...I remember reading that BF2 would have larger than 64 man maps..... - Serak, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Here's hoping this is more than an expansion pack for BF2 like 2142 was.
- DteK, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I seriously hope XP is supported. I have no plans to move to vista, even for this.
I would just as soon play BF2 till im the last person online before going to vista. - Nightfall, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I was hoping for a fully destructible environment to be honest. I hope that is part of the plan as well.
- doctorfungi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6BF1942 -> BF:V (Same engine)
BF2 -> BF2142 (Same engine)
BF3 = The next logical step is a new engine and therefore new experience. - BitBurner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Joint OPS SUCKED BALLS....it was sooo laggy when there was over 100 people i couldnt play. The helicopters were not flown they were guided. You had up...to a certain height...then forward and left right.....then down. you could not "fly" it like in battlefield. No jets.....not to mention the graphics looked like the first delta force. BARF. Worst ever....yeah what happened to that game....came out about the same time as BF2 i believe....ITS GONE CUZ IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- piwy, on 11/07/2007, -1/+7lol "leaked". This is what we refer to as free advertisement and hype building in college.
- catalysis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The frostbite engine that they are using is made for destructable environments. If this is true, they will be in BF3.
- vertinox, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6And the two fighting are spawn killing.
- Bkaufman, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Battlefield: I released the same game for the fifth time in a row with better graphics?
- Sifter, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7There's not really anything exciting in that list - as others have said, it basically sounds like Battlefield 2 again, but with bigger teams. And the increased numbers of vehicles doesn't exactly bode well, unless you're the kind of person who likes getting killed by your own guys just so somone else can have the tank.... not that playing BF2 has made me bitter or anything.
- Turambar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Joint Ops: Escalation could handle 150 people on a server, this is hardly groundbreaking material.
- DteK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I agree, I think this is limitation I figured they would have added support for by now.
- BJGallagher, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Haha it's funny but it's true
- TsuruchiBrian, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I am getting pretty sick of the cartillery bug/exploit.
- AlmostEvil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Don't be so quick there tiger, while I own a Mac if you read up on EA and their game "ports" to OS X they're essentially just windows versions with a few minor modifications and the Cegeda engine. (in otherwords, they're running on top of wine)
They're not true OS X ports. - DteK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5All this talk has got me needing to play some "Ghost Town" right now.
- bishbashbosh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I still maintain that BF2 is one of the greatest games of all time (apart from the 'invincible' planes). I still play BF: Vietnam occasionally too - love the music...
Hopefully BF3 should be a winner - just hope they Beta it for a good while and LISTEN to the majority of us - i.e nerf planes, stop instaheals, sort out 'sploits etc - flangepiece, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I haven't been able to play it since 2 patches ago. After several hours of re-installs etc. Balls to EA. They ain't getting my hard-earned cash or time again.
- GoEKniGhtofNi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4wow just an other battlefield. It used to be a great game. I mean 1942 was very well done. As GameAdmin at a 400 ppl LAN I had to use the console for 1942, BF2 and BF2142. Out of those 3 BF 1942 was the best by fare.
In BF 2 / 2142 it isn't possible to see messages from the players, which makes it a pain in the ass to be a GameAdmin für BF. - NoodleGuy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4No - they just have plans for a TON of sequels and they're releasing the games out of order.
First they released the 1942nd game in the series, then the 2nd, then the 2142nd, and now the 3rd. Soon we will get Battlefield 1, then something in 3 through 1941, and then something between 1943 and 2141.
It all has to do with their development schedules.... Some of the teams were much quicker in their dev time than others. - doctorfungi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6I think it's safe to say that this sounds pretty ***** awesome if it's real!
