but i think they should rather call it BF 08 instead of BF3. the next Battlefield will be called BF 09 and so on...just like FIFA or NHL etc.

anyway i am looking forward to a new Battlefield edition and if it's worth to buy it, i'll spend another 40€

ah by the way, rumors are saying that it will run only on windows vista

Speed you didn't read the rumor tip at all did you. 40 some odd unlockables, 8 new maps all set in urban areas(Like karkand and mashtur). Its going to be MEC vs. NATO. Its going to be in Vista because its most likely going to be in DX10 like crysis is.

well here's hoping it has dx9 support and will run on xp cause I won't have dx10 by the time it comes out

Cool promo vid that gives a few clues: The name 'Bad Company' suggests its going to focus on the squad level more - no problem with that. The audio side reminds me of the greater use of music in BF Vietnam which was one of my favourite aspects. Problem is the promo only mentions 'for 360 and PS3', mm no mention of PC. Personally though I'm looking forward to it. My expectations are realistic, in that I don't expect anyone to come out with something that jumps ahead 2 generations. As long as the releases are incrementally moving ahead then they will get my support and my dollar, and so far every release in the franchise has been an improvement on the one before. I just hope my hardware can keep up.

I thought Bad company was for consoles while BF3 was for PC?

What i have from http://www.statsforum.de/Off-Topic/Batt ... ite+1.html

* Powered by “Frostbite DX”
* Set in year modern day (just like BF2, ed.)
* Will ship with 8 maps, each supporting up to 40-players per team
* Two playable factions, NATO and MEC (Middle Eastern Coalition)
* Same “ticket-based” gameplay style as before
* Maps are mostly urban, based in Middle East
* Squads and Commanders are present, introduced are “Battalions” which consist of three to four squads.
* Five playable classes; Sniper, Assault, Engineer, Medic and Support
* Will feature 48 different vehicles (24 for each faction)
* Will feature 34 different weapons (17 for each faction) and another 22 unlocks (for both factions), in total 56 different weapons.
* Other unlocks include different types of ammunition, body armor, helmets, camouflage and accessories.
* Possible public beta in “Summer 2008r43;
* Online stats tracking, awards and “real world ranks”
* “Soldier” feature, looks like MMO-styled characters and avatars

* Built-in auto software updater (no more patches!, ed.)
* Widows Vista and OS X (no XP?!, ed.)
* Announcement and teaser trailer in January 2008.

A map is mentioned by name, called “Baghdad Burning”, and appears to be a massive urban map, similar to BF2’s very popular “Strike at Karkand”. The game is powered by “Frotbite DX”, currently the Frostbite engine is used in Battlefiled: Bad Company on PS3 and Xbox 360. The “DX” could refer to DirectX (10?), a PC version of the Frostbite engine.
Please note that none of this is confirmed, we’ve emailed a few people from EA and DICE (Battlefield developers) and will update the article as soon as we know more. Also note that we cannot, for obvious (legal) reasons, release the PDF document. Stay tuned for more info.

No notice of a map/mod maker yet, eh? It's probably still too early to tell for sure, but they didn't release one for BF2142 so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't give us one for BF3 either. Should be interesting to see how this game turns out.

looking forward to it but looks like I need a new computer this year, we'll c
some own build highend pc would be nice

But only 8 maps that isn't that much and it will take some time till the modder will be able to create new ones.
mostly Urban maps ;( for some reason I also like maps like wake or kubra or daliant ... hopefully someone will import those map to the new BF3

(maybe we can buy official maps in the future (2 € or 2 dollars/ map) oops i hope no one of ea is reading this ^^)

I had too pick myself up off the floor after whatching the first video, the second was OK and the third again was funny. Can not wait for the release of the charachters.... may be better than the game in the in the end
