Just saw this:

Haven't found any other information of the game, but I take it, they're gonna make a big online game of the series.

Am I completely wrong here??

Yeah, there are two Battlefield games on the way. that we know of. Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Bad Company. So that's enough, right? EA's and DICE's whistles are well and truly wet, right? No. No, no, not even close. Speaking at GDC paris yesterday, DICE's Ben Cousens has said that the company are working on a further three Battlefield titles. One is a "core game" for consoles. One is a secret. The other is a collaboration with Korean company Neowiz, targeted at the region's online market. That's, you know. Five Battlefield games in development. Never let it be said EA don't know how to make the most of a franchise.

In June of last year, we heard that there was a new Battlefield game in development for the Korean market. This is it. It's called Battlefield Online, and will be out later this year. Built on the Battlefield 2 engine, BFO will pit US forces against Russia in a Middle Eastern setting, with up to 64 players supported at any one time. And...that's about where the details end, because EA and local team Neowiz are playing stingy with the announcements, promising to drip-feed stuff like unit info over the next few months.

Alas, I was wrong again.

Cheers for that Dowly. Might be interesting to see what it is later on.

Its actually 3 new Battlefield games - Battlefield 1943/Heroes and Bad Company 2. All can be found in the UK edition of PC Gamer, and are looking good.

BF: Heroes is taking beta sign ups, good fun for a free game.

The charactor customization is good fun also, my guy is a Pirate hat and Monocle wearing soldier in brown/grey camo.

Just signed up for a beta key.

I await your review of the game with great anticipation.

Dowly · 03-26-09, 09:50 AM

Yeh... when they give me a beta key.

kiwi_2005 · 03-26-09, 07:38 PM

Battlefield 2 still reins supreme for me, bf2142 was ok but found my self going back to BF2 after a few months. BF 3 better be like BF 2 or it will suck

Dowly · 03-27-09, 06:04 AM

Aye, BF2 is still a great game that I play occasionally. Especially enjoy Dragon Valley as a sniper, some great moments I've had in it. Enemy snipers usually go on all out hunt for me, just to meet my claymores or the cold steel of my knife.

I apparently got mine last week, but only bothered to check the mail now

Raptor1 · 04-21-09, 12:53 PM

I must say that activating the beta and installing (doing that now) has been an incredible pain

Typical EA stupidity

EDIT: Seems to work nicely now, downloading/installing now. Look for a baldy called Dowly (Already found one flaw while naming the character, you cant have names like Tittenhoff or Tittymeister

) in the field!
