hmmm sounds interesting

[BigTwinky]

Actually, doesn't really sound like much of a change over BF2. Actually, it looks more like a BF2 expansion than a whole new game.

But when you look at how EA handles its sport franchises (Madden, NHL,..), seems that having minor tweaks and releasing it as a full version full priced new game is their way of going.

If things are released as stated in that document, then I don't see the point in purchasing it

I'll follow this with mild interest because of how much I enjoyed BF2. However, unless there's concrete evidence that issues have been recitfied and it's an exponential improvement, it stands as much chance with me as ET:QW2. ... Which doesn't look good right now.

Games I will be buying before Battlefield 3:

Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue 2

Eggs of Steel (I'm not making that title up)

Grand Theft Auto: Vatican City (this one, maybe...)

Shaq Fu 2

Any titles I have missed?

I think that even though I hate EA I would look hard at this game just due to the squad teamwork setup. With all it's issues the BF games are still geared toward teamwork which is what I like in a game.

It kind of irks me when you here about sequels "new great features" that where actually supposed to be in the original game e.g. : "n-game replay and recording feature"

"Built-in auto software updater (no more patches!, ed.)"

I also don't like the sound of this given EA's track record. They can just release half-arsed patches and ridiculous balancing changes (ala bf2) when ever they like, meaning you cant choose to not install it.

EA strikes again... :o

+1000 bf2 was supposed to have 100 players, never implemented. it was supposed to have a customizable soldier. never happened. advanced battlefield physics. never completed.

BF3? Pfft. I'll still be owning it up in UT3. :D

advanced battlefield physics. never completed.

You gotta admit, though, when an artillery shell hit you directly, and your soldier flew dozens of feet into the air...that was pretty neat. :D

If the BF series goes back to a more modern-day focus, that'll be nice. And not to say TF2 doesn't have technical issues...but, EA's "patches" left a sour taste in my mouth. If BF3 is going to be rushed like its predecessors, that'll be a lot of wasted potential.
