Bach says the goal in mind is to create an "authentic," but "fun" game with BF3.

"We're not trying to base it on any political or religious conflict – controversy is probably a good marketing tool, but we make games," he told Edge when asked about its story.

"Our goal isn't to make controversy. I don't want people to feel bad playing our game. Our goal is to create a fun, entertaining experience. So we are trying to stay away from things that are real – authentic and real don't have to be the same thing."

Don't be expecting the CoD-type villains to be part of Battlefield as well, too.

"No, no supervillains. But you still want your enemy to be clear; you still want your player character to have a clear motivation – that's something we're working on to find the right balance."

Battlefield 3 launches in the US on October 24 in the US and October 27 in the US for PS3, 360 and PC.

Battlefield is different because it's realistic but still fun. It's not nooby and arcady, but the realism doesn't make it boring. It's slower paced and larger scale than most Fps games but it doesn't feel slow or dull. They have the balance perfectly right.

BF is more arcade than it is realistic.

I don't get it when people go out to buy a game about war, that has a level in the middle east or russia, then get offended when the player must defeat armies in the middle east and russia. That's kind of the point of the game :P

COD will [expletive] all over BF3 ... this board is in denial.

Black Ops was more fun than BFBC2, sometimes the over the top-ness gets the job done.
