wow this makes no sense because DICE recently said they are moving away from the BF franchise to develop different kind of games. maybe they realized they should stick to what they know how to do.
no wonder they abandoned 2142 so early. probably the same thing will happen when BF3 is released.
You should change the title of this thread to "Rumor: Battlefield 3 In 2008?" because it has not yet been confirmed, if anything it's a bunch of kids trying to screw around with the video gaming media.
If some how it's true, then the only thing I liked in that list is,
• Built-in auto software updater.
And what I didn't like at all in that list is,
• Lack of XP support. Meaning only Vista/DX10 users will be able to play the game.
That's not an announcement, its a supposed leaked fact sheet. I'll believe it when EA/DICE has a press release.
Yes, that's right. But it all makes perfect sense. GameSpot rates it as "Tentative not bogus". And GameSpot isn't just some amateur fansite. Along with GameSpy/IGN they are the biggest and most influential gaming website on the internet. They are usually very careful about spreading rumors.

When/where did they say that? Verbatim quote with link, or shuddup! :p
Even though GameSpot isn't just some amateur fansite, the article is still under a feature titled Rumor Control, not everything in there comes out as a done deal.
Of course, that's right. GameSpot makes it very clear that this is unconfirmed by EA/Dice.
But the fact alone that they report it and that they publically rate it as "not bogus" makes me believe it. Like I said, GameSpot isn't just some gaming website. They are one of the major marketing partners of the gaming industry and the industry feeds them with information directly, and they have early access to confidential information. Chances are, they already had that very same PDF file Digital Battle is reporting about long before Digital Battle, only they kept it confidential. But now that some other site leaked it, and the cat is out of the bag anyway, they are allowed to talk about it without breaching their own NDA, and without jeopardizing their relationship with EA.
Leaking rumors is part of gaming marketing. Making early announcements is not wise, because if plans are changed later the fans are going to cry: "They broke their promise! Liars!" But if you leak unofficial information nobody can blame you later if you change anything, because the info was never official in the first place.
