Well I just found out some "new" info which I cannot belive I didnt see before. This is great news........even if its old.

EA Confirms Battlefield 3 Development
Criterion Games also developing next Need for Speed.
by Jim Reilly
June 10, 2009 - EA's chief operating officer John Pleasants made some rather surprise announcements at the William Blair Growth Stock Conference taking place in Chicago this week. One of which was the confirmation of Battlefield 3.

"I've had the luxury of looking at Battlefield 3 over at DICE in Sweden and was highly impressed by the way the team is working on that product," Pleasants said. "Of course, that's not [coming out] in the fiscal year, but that is a product that is looking very good."

Oh sure, we all knew Battlefield 3 was coming eventually, but at least we know it's actually being made and has some sort of release window.

As for the other announcement, Criterion Games, the famed developer behind the Burnout series, will indeed be making the next Need for Speed title.

"We've taken the Burnout team and combined it with our Need For Speed franchise," added Pleasants. "So we now have that in our favor because that Burnout team is probably one of the more online-centric and notably high-quality game developers that we have out at Criterion."

No other information was revealed about either game, but seeing as how these are the first details we've officially heard, I expect we'll be hearing from EA shortly.

Battlefield Bad Company and BF BC2 (not out yet), BC 1 is awesome though if you got a PS3, far better than COD4 imo.

I wonder what will separate Battlefield 3 and BF BC 2 as it seems the BC franchise has pretty much taken over the original series spot, maybe it will be a WII game again like 1942 was?

Well BF3 can get back to its roots of HUGE maps and lots of players on a new engine with Fully destructible buildings. I'm thinking it will be BF2 with major improvements and new multiplayer modes.

I never too the jump to BF:2142 - My mate did though but I dont think he really liked it too much.

One of the reasons why I didnt join BF2142 was because of its shit load of ingame bugs.

I was talking about Bad Company, not 2142 ;) I personally didn't like 2142 either, heck BF2 was meh, I liked old BF 1942 DC mod, and BF BC brought me back to that kind of enjoyment that I had been missing, large maps, good vehicles, good classes.

The guy is an Idiot ,
He saw Battlefield BC 2 (2010) and he thought it was BF3.

The good news is they also Postponed Battlefield 1943 till 2010 for the PC only,

I wont be buying that Garbage either


8 days after John Pleasants said this, he was Fired on June 18th, 2009


Electronic Arts (EA) announces today its former president and Chief Operating Officer (COO) John Pleasants will be leaving the company, and will be replaced by John Schappert, who has been with the company since 1991, excepting a couple of leaves, one in 2007 for the position of Corporate VP at Microsoft Interactive Entertainment Business, taking charge of Microsoft Game Studios and Xbox LIVE.

It seems Pleasants, who joined EA in March of '08, wasn't a good fit -- the press release merely states, "[he] will be leaving the company," with EA's head spokesperson Jeff Brown telling us, "When we informed Mr. Pleasants of the agreement with Jon Schappert he elected to pursue another opportunity" -- word is he's taken a job as CEO at MySpace game development studio Playdom. Pleasants' experience is largely outside the game industry, particularly the "core gaming" sector, so this seems like a wise move, one EA states will not be changing anytime soon.

So No, BF3 is not in Development, Dice is all about the Xbox 360 now

That sounds about right, like I said BC has replaced the original franchise.

Nothing in there says BF3 is not coming. Nothing. You are assuming. Just because the guy was fired doesn't mean jack. Give me a link where they say there will be no BF3 and Ill believe you.
