It is pretty sad that BF3 will only work on vista and they won't even bother to make it work on XP systems, if it is true.Comment

doesn't vista have a lot of problems with games and compatibility issues with hardwares? i mean it was tough enough getting BF2142 to run right on winXP. anyone else worried that we're headed for rocky road with the next one as far as stability is concerned? it is EA/DICE we're talking about afterall...Comment

Most Vista problems has been solved by Microsoft by now, game problems are generally caused by older games not designed for Vista. But I see your point here, BF2142 gives me mixed feelings cause I really love the gameplay and such but it's a buggy little piece of **** at the same timedoesn't vista have a lot of problems with games and compatibility issues with hardwares? i mean it was tough enough getting BF2142 to run right on winXP. anyone else worried that we're headed for rocky road with the next one as far as stability is concerned? it is EA/DICE we're talking about afterall...
Hope DICE/EA make something much stabler and with much less bugs.Comment

Sounds quite promising actually, but then again, so did BF2 and BF2142. Lets see then;
Release in late 2008
Who could've guessed - released around 2 years after 2142. Good thing (for me) I get my new computer and finish High School then.
Powered by “Frostbite DX”
Finally a new engine. Wonder what will the requirements be?
Set in year modern day (just like BF2, ed.)
There goes the 2142 prequel/sequel idea.
Will ship with 8 maps, each supporting up to 40-players per team
Here's hoping that the maps will be on diversified environments, i.e. a city map, a jungle map, etc.
Two playable factions, NATO and MEC (Middle Eastern Coalition)
Well I guess there aren't too many other modern conflicts you can make a game out of?
Same “ticket-based” gameplay style as before
Awwwww. Can't they add another type of gameplay, like they did Titan mode for 2142.
Maps are mostly urban, based in Middle East
There goes the diversified environs idea....
Squads and Commanders are present, introduced are “Battalions” which consist of three to four squads.
Wonder how this will work??
Five playable classes; Sniper, Assault, Engineer, Medic and Support
So Anti-Tank becomes integrated with engineer. What happened to Spec Ops?
Will feature 48 different vehicles (24 for each faction)
48 different vehicles on 8 maps? Wonder what role aircraft will play in a "mostly urban" setting?
Will feature 34 different weapons (17 for each faction) and another 22 unlocks (for both factions), in total 56 different weapons.
Probably only 10 of which are available out of box, the other 46 would come in booster packs.
Other unlocks include different types of ammunition, body armor, helmets, camouflage and accessories.
This would be good. Incendiary ammo FTW!
Online stats tracking, awards and “real world ranks”
What's new. How would the BF2 ranks compare with these "real world ranks"? Will the awards be easier or harder to get than BF2142?
“Soldier” feature, looks like MMO-styled characters and avatars
Oh, now the front page of the BFHQ has a custom-styled soldier wearing a uniform boasting your lastest medals?
VoIP, friends list, in-game IM-client and “extensive clan support”
Wonder what they mean by "extensive clan support"?
Built-in auto software updater (no more patches!, ed.)
What does it matter if the patches/updates introduce more bugs then they fix?
Windows Vista and OS X (no XP?!, ed.)
Probably will be a DX10 only game then.
Announcement and teaser trailer in January 2008.
We have got 24 days to realise whether or not this Leaked Info was a hoax or not.
If they do end up releasing it, they better make a stable game which doesn't have disconnect issues, game engine issues, glitching issues, texture issues, stats server issues.........Comment

One could argue, that if really everything is made up, DICE or EA would deny any of it. Not "No Comment". Anyway, vincentj said one thing which is true: Do we or do we not see an announcement and a teaser trailer in January 2008.
I do hope we will. It'd probably be the next game I buy. BF just kicks ***.
And now that I got used to the BF feeling, I can't wait for its successor.Comment

If BF3 is exclusively desert then that will make me sad. I like lush green forests, snowy landscapes with ever green trees, gingerbread houses and candy cane walk ways - None of this Allāhu Akbar malarchy.Comment
