More evidence re: BF3 being MMOFPS

[Consultant01]

I was in a temporary fantasy yesterday, reliving my planetside days and dreaming of a BF themed MMOFPS set in the BF2142 universe and had dismissed it but then today I saw a news headline from June 20th that I had totally missed until now.

EA is buying/merging with Mythic Entertainment... makers of one of my favorite games, Dark Age of Camelot!

If the EA crew puts some of Mythics developers in charge of an MMOFPS project, I have little doubt that it would kick ***.


Had you heard of this news? I somehow missed it...

Would you play a BF themed MMOFPS? I think the prospect is very interesting...

hmmm, if they could release a game that didnt get new bugs with every patch then i might consider it. They would have to re design a lot of things to make the game balanced (i.e. bunny hopping etc, have aircraft balanced unlike the j-10 v f35 jsf etc).

Isnt this where you can get something like 200+ ppl on the same server? jeez imagine the TK/smaktard factor.

more like 2,000.

Planetside had 3 armies and when a continent was population locked (one battlefield) it had somewhere around 750 people on it.

Well thats nice, but as EA can turn the best developers into pure **** (BF2), then whatever they are working on it won`t be as AWSOME!#¤!"#¤ as you think

And as EA wants a lot of money, i bet the cost will be fuken high+ the monthly fee

But, I don't see EA telling DiCE they have to collaborate with a different software house on making a future title. I still love the idea of having a much larger battlefield. Esp if we could get something like Tour of Duty with 200 vs 200, oh, the possibilities.
