Being a Call of Duty fan I am eagerly waiting to see what DICE can accomplish with Battlefield 3.  I have Medal of Honor with the beta invitation so I can't wait.

i don't consider the Bad Company series to be Battlefield games, more like funny/lighthearted spin offs



All hail DICE, the lords and masters of the FPS genre. I bow to your godlike ability to make amazing games. You have my FPS soul. Just take my money, and give me the beauty that is battlefield 3. I, one of you loyal gamers, have spoken.

They're definitely not forgetting the people who made Battlefield what is today if this is any indication.



If it's anything like Bad Company 2 then i'll get it.



OH MY GAH. Beautiful cover.

 

Damnit, I want this game so bad. I remember the 64 player battles on Strike like it was yesterday.
