EA: Battlefield 3 'Looking Very Good'
by Nick Breckon, Jun 10, 2009 12:12pm PDTElectronic Arts today confirmed that DICE is hard at work on a full sequel to its Battlefield franchise.
During the William Blair Growth Stock Conference, EA chief operating officer John Pleasants mentioned that he had personally seen the game during a trip to the Swedish developer's headquarters.
"I've had the luxury of looking at Battlefield 3 over at DICE in Sweden and was highly impressed by the way the team is working on that product," said Pleasants, according to G4. "Of course, that's not [coming out] in the fiscal year, but that is a product that is looking very good."
Pleasants also confirmed rumors that Burnout Paradise developer Criterion Games has been tasked with designing a new Need for Speed title.

I love the game, but there's some serious fundamental flaws in the multiplayer game mechanics, which just leaves my head banging against the wall....
1) Each and every map, people need to work up their way to have the ability to use vehicles.
Whether its through money (CS Style) or Experience.. PLEASE have something there.
Take away the people smashing vehicles and wasting vehicles, and being nothing but a vehicle fest.
Everyone starts off as infantry, and they all work their way up to vehicles....
2) Some kind of LINKED flag system. no more flying a jet, jumping out, and ninja'ing a flag.
Create a peusdo front line by requiring certain flags before being able to cap the next flag.
These 2 simple mechanics IMO would make each and every BF game 500x better than they are now.

No disrespect to PC gamers but if you seriously didn't know that DICE was working on this already considering they know how many ppl want it there's something wrong
