Battlefield 3 release date?

WorldIsMine — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 07:22:17 +0000

In an interview with EA’s CEO John Riccitello he stated that Treyarch is not well managed. Stating that EA will make major strides in the FPS market in the coming year, he stated that Crysis 2 and Bulletstorm were going to be the major hits as well as the lightly known Battlefield 3 (well, to everyone else.) Riccitello also said, “I think it’s far from proven that the gaming consumer views a product from Treyarch in the same category as a product from what was (Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 developer) Infinity Ward.”

With EA’s recent agreement with Infinity Ward, the two plus DICE are really expecting to dominate the FPS market. And Riccitello also made it clear that he Battlefield 3 is going to be the major hit of the year, specifically the last half of 2011. Right in time for the release of the new unannounced, but already highly anticipated Call of Duty game.

Riccitello wrote:

[...] and you’ll see a lot about Battlefield 3 next year, which I think is, at least from our perspective, designed to be the one that is the big leap forward; the one that is going to help a lot.

However, the question is, is EA rushing the developers to make the game? Just a few months ago they said that Battlefield 3′s developers were being given their space to make sure that the game would be awesome. Side note, the board of directors could have picked a CEO with an easier name to spell, but that’s not to say that John isn’t talented.

So it looks like the game is set for sometime around November/December of 2010 !!

Battlefield 1943 PC – Its so close.

PC gamers have been patiently waiting for September to come around so they could join in the Battlefield 1943 fun, having been told that it takes extra time and effort to implement a Frostbite Engine game on PC. It appears that DICE originally underestimated the amount of time it would take. In other words, keep waiting. But the wait is almost over as we have entered 2010 1Q

All features that needed to be worked on are almost finished. Producer Gordon Van Dyke told The Feed that it’s “a hard pill to swallow delaying the game, but it was absolutely needed to ensure the features and functionality that PC Players have come to expect from Battlefield on PC are not missing.” Those features include, Van Dyke says, “Things like support for DirectX 9 and 10, higher player count (up to 32-player matches), wide peripheral support; i.e., Joysticks for flying, VoIP and ranked server provider hosting.”

“We’re close and the game is going gold within days.”

However, if you can’t wait, the console versions are there for you. If you find the idea of spending that much on a console distasteful, just tell yourself it’s a really big video card.
