Battlefield 3 Details Leaked

[Biotech2142]

We don't comment on rumors or speculation. Currently announced titles from DICE are Battlefield Bad Company and Mirror's Edge, you'll hear from us officially as soon as we have anything further to announce. For any future announcements regarding Battlefield keep an eye on www.battlefield.com.

I remember a similar statement when the BF2142 video was leaked like a month before it was officially announced :laugh:

Yeah, I don't think I have ever seen them deny / "no comment" any rumours that weren't true

In the name of science I ought to post a bogus rumour about a new BF2142 booster to see if they will comment on that

[Biotech2142]

I predict another BF2 patch to assure a happy BF2 to BF3 migration instead a BF2142 booster.

Here is the reason for my prediction:

There's nothing official to announce about a possible patch but I can say that it's something we continue to pursue. Unfortunately it's not as simple as that, numerous details still need to be investigated and confirmed before we know if this will happen or not. As Community Manager for DICE there's nothing I currently want to see more as it's unquestionably the #1 request for Battlefield right now. As such, I'm doing what I can to try and make it happen but nothing is guaranteed yet.

In short, we definitely still hear you, we're doing what we can here to make things happen, however until things are certain it's not possible to call either way. We realise it's a frustrating wait, however as soon as we have a definite answer, so will you guys.

It was made sticky yesterday.

As you can see, BF2 is razing....nah, just holding that 3rd position from a long time, even if it still 2 years old and full of bugs unlike BF2142.


Honestly, BF2 would be stronger if Dice didn't screwed it too much with the nerfing.

This for me is basically saying "i know that its true but am not going to let on that i know its true :p"

Maybe there is hope.

Possibly around jan 2008??

You have to admire EA, it has taken a lot of work to achieve inverse credibility.

I admire their business skills

Well, gives ma something to look forward to and build my new PC around next year. And I know I won't be buying it online unless Steam handles it.

And I'm super psych that theres a rumored new BF2 patch!! One can dream.

*yawn*

"Leaking" information like this is a very common marketing tactic to draw attention to a company and/or site. I would not even blink if the entire thing were pulled out of Gamespot's collective asses, and I'd encourage no one else to put excessive stock in unconfirmed rumors and speculation - they are called that for a reason.

I'll treat it with some credibility if/when it is confirmed by EA/DICE.

...and I'm honestly not caring too much for something which will not bear fruit until 2009. I know they said 2008, but we all know how things really work out.

There are enough great games just released or coming within the next 60 days to keep me occupied until BF3 becomes official.

TF2 for the short term win, CoD4 for the next major win (we're counting on you!).

Only 8 maps and only 40 players per server? :cry:

40 players per side, I think these will be big maps.

[FPS[SONIC]]

I'm down with that number if they would commit to regular content updates...

What do you say, DICE? Will you supply the hard core gaming community who gather each day to play your games hour-upon-hour with content updates?

Just re read the article. 40 per team is right!

*nerdgasm*

Hmmm.... all the BF3 threads at TBF2 are getting locked...
Edit: Oh, it's because there's a thread about it in the news. No conspiracy here.

40 players per team is a bad idea, that is to say if they're going to implement the "90% destructable environment" technology in the game, it'll lag us to high hell and back.

I wish TBF would clear this thing up, or even DICE or EA.. that would be nice..

i think it means up to 40 players per side. I still think a standard 12vs12 would be ok in that kind of environment.
