I think EA/DICE had ample time to at the least officially announce BF3 and give us some screenshots. Instead we get a BC2 expansion pack. -____- Now it seems at earliest they will not announce it till early next year so they don't shoot themselves in the foot with sales.

I mean we all know they're working on it, it's been unofficially confirmed multiple times. I just can't express my disappointment that they announced a expansion pack and not BF3. To think I thought there finally would have been a debut trailer this year at E3.

I know =[ Imagine BF2 with better BC2 physics, better destructible environments, larger maps, and JETS. All the games I want seem to never be coming out! Diablo 3, Dead Space 2, and now BF3....

Don't expect it too soon, they announced the expansion for BC 2 and BC 2 ended with a cliffhanger, more or less, they won't make the console crowd wait more for BC 3 just because the PC players want their BF 3, expect it after BC 3.

I just want my 64 (possibly more) players with teamwork. It's been a long time coming. I refuse to believe they just could not get it polished enough for a trailer yet.

I guess that is true to a point. I don't see any respectable PC gamers picking up BC3 on PC after BF3 has already came out. But damn, they can at least give us something to chew on. With that said, there's a two-year cycle between BC1 & BC2 and most likely another with BC3, I think that's way too much time to be working on BF3. Who knows how long they've already been working on it.

There were more copies sold on PC than the consoles (at least last time I checked). So BF3 may come out before BC2. Especially with the sales they have gotten from their previous PC games.

That's what I'm hoping for. I think BF3 has the potential to be much more successful than BF2 now that BC2 sales has shown that PC gamers are hungry for true PC exclusive games. If Starcraft 2 has very good sales in the first month or so, I think DICE will speed up their production on BF3 to cash-in on the "PC exclusive" tag.

Actually, now that I think about it BC2s sales have shown a few other things to developers. Concerning the whole MW2 fiasco and how it was pirated so much compared to BC2 and how successful it was on PC (Never heard any complaints from DICE about piracy on that game), just shows that the PC crowd needs some special catering. It isnt even much that they need to add in. Larger maps, Dedicated Servers, more players, and community made maps. Personally I didnt mind the 32 player matches, but 64 would be amazing.

BF2 had better physics than BC2 to begin with, why downgrade? And it had huge maps and jets.

It is in development. Now think carefully for a second... DICE and EA just released Bad Company 2, and are publicizing its new content and expansions, and have the new Medal of Honor due this year which is also being heavily marketed. Now obviously they don't want to jeopardize the sales of their own games by announcing BF3 to gamers ready to wait for the next Battlefield installment; they want attention squarely focused on their current titles. Simple marketing really, never fear BF3 is in development and we will probably get actual genuine info of it later in the year after the torrent of new shooters.

Actually they did extremely well and it sold better on PC (BC2) because here's where the actual community is for the BF series, and also BC pretty much failed on consoles, because 1 it didn't have very good sales and 2 it wasn't that great and console players decided not to bother with 2 (some) but of course it has its fans there too.

Don't make up facts....and BF 3 will be exclusive to PC.

Apparently, two million + sales are pretty bad.

I was hoping for BF3. They're gonna release Vietnam later this year and they still haven't fixed the issues in BFBC2. I also want to know what ever happened to BF 1943.
