5 years later, EA 'relocate' and 'reorganize' EA Sweden. Key talents leave company. Dice? what's that? never heard of the name, better shut down their website, remove their logos from game boxes and make sure consumers know it's all EA and only EA!

I guess Dice isn't keeping up with the lawsuit against EA or the blogs.

I'm sure EA is all "Oh it won't be like that, we'll let you manage yourselves." and the day after Battlefield 2 is complete all the Dice employees quit.

"However, the franchise's planned move to consoles was delayed recently when EA insisted on delaying console title Battlefield: Modern Combat by a year in order to add a singleplayer component to the game"

I know singleplayer is "necessary" from a sales standpoint. But another year for Battlefield singleplayer?
