Battlefield 3 will "blow everyone away", says former DICE CEO

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 isn't even out the door yet but hype is already building for Battlefield 3. Interestingly enough, the hype's not coming from DICE or EA but from the studio's former CEO.

 

Fredrik Liliegren, who helmed DICE as CEO from 1988 to 2000 before moving on to manage DICE Canada until it closed down, told Gaming Union that Battlefield 3 will "blow everyone away."

 

"I know what they were talking about on the PC side for [the next] Battlefield, and they haven't announced any of that yet, after three years, so I know what's coming, and I still can't talk about it because I'm still under NDA," he said.

 

"What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away."

 

Liliegren also noted that Battlefield 3 will be a vastly different experience from Modern Warfare 2, and that that difference will be the very reason why the former will succeed.

"PC version"? Sounds like console gamers will get a taste of it too.

From my experience, all of the Battlefields have been vastly different from Call of Duty in general.


What kind of bullshit statement is that, what are they trying to prove.

They are trying to reintroduce the original battlefield series before it become a much more toned down console based FPS. We can expect to see much larger maps and at minimum 32v32 combat. Although with current internet connections I don't see why they can't easily sustain 64v64 servers.

BF:2 was greatly different from PC and console. There were less classes, some condensed classes, maps were miniscule, no airplanes even... and I think only 12 v 12 if I remember correctly. The 360 version was still fun (and the one I played) but the PC version was better. I only played it for a bit in a tourney thinking my skills would translate, but oh how I was wrong. :P I would like to see a full scale BF:3 on consoles. They are fully capable of handling this amount of content now as proven by MAG. We don't need a single player campaign. Use all 8.5 gigs of the DVD to give us the best damned multiplayer experience possible!

MoH can only be pre-ordered as a downloadable for some reason. Hopefully Battlefield 3 won't suffer the same fate!! http://enterbf3.com
