I think that was the point of NOT calling it BFIII, which as far as I've seen they never did. They called it Battlefront without a number for that reason. It's been pretty clear since before it was even revealed that it wouldn't be BFIII in any way. 

Hm, is that so? I guess I never checked if that really is the case. All I know is most gaming websites I've checked regularly refer to it as BF3. If they're treating it like a reboot, then I have slightly less problems with it.

That's sort of one of the problems; everyone wants it to be BFIII without EA ever having had I and II to work from. BFII took a year to build on top of having the entire base game effectively done from BFI, and by all accounts that game was rushed to all hell. That's part of the reason the real BFIII never came out; suddenly jumping to online-friendly consoles and adapting to the 2007ish console market was a lot harder to do than expected, especially with the plans to have seamless space-ground combat. After having released two rush-jobs that were fairly poorly coded, they had to fix everything up for 360 while making it modern and appealing to the shooter gamers of the time. BFIII, had it released on time, would've sold fairly poorly because it was so dated mechanically. Some of its ideas were fantastic, don't get me wrong, but it's because of this I'm glad BFIII never happened. The series ended on a high enough note that we were even ABLE to get a reboot ten years later. Even if the reboot is only average (AKA exactly what most people called the first BF upon launch) I'll be satisfied, because we're getting a Goddamn Battlefront game.
