Re: Battlefield 3 Confirmed
i wonder how long it's been in development.
i wonder if those leaked "spec sheets" that was circulating on the web back year and a half ago was the real thing.
except for the date, i think it could actually be the real thing, no? and they never came out and denied this particular document, saying “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 battlefield.com” which makes it seem like it could be.
well they sure got a lot on their plates. whether they will deliver this many quality titles, we'll see.
i wonder if DICE/EA wanted to keep this from being public for a longer time because of the fear PC guys will pass over 1943 and BC2 for BF3, which likely is the PC BF game in the flavor of the previous BF games, unlike the consolized 1943 and BC2.
