[edit] Battlefield 3

I noticed Battlefield 3 was added to the list, "with release in 2008". However, the only thing I've heard about BF3 until today was a supposed leaked PDF detailing some game data, at [1] and [2]. While I hope the series will have a third installment, I recall WP having a somewhat skeptical opinion of crystal-balling... Has anyone got other sources for this?

You're right with the crystal-balling comment. Battlefield 3 should be removed until it's been officially confirmed that it's in development. Vanguard 01:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Also, the links section appears to be spam... Cctoide 02:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'm going to remove those links and put a link to the official site (the site doesn't seem to be a popular fan site, something like Planet Battlefield should go there if you're going to put a fan site. There's plenty of more notable fan sites out there but I'm not sure this article even needs them). I'm also removing the reference to Battlefield 3 but we both know it'll be constantly put back up there! Vanguard 13:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Haris Aggelopoulos added this link to my comment; I'm moving it here. Cctoide 16:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know whether its the same game, but Electronics Art recently announced a new Battlefield game called Battlefield Heroes. Here's the news article from BBC: [3]. It's supposedly going to be a free online game supported by advertisements and micro payments and will be available only online (not on retail that is) in summer 2008. Other details include the game having "a "cartoon-feel" and has been made simpler to play, with more emphasis on participation and fun than skill and strategy."

EDIT: I just found the official website: [4] - yxTay (talk) 10:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a preview of PC Gamer [5] and there also is an official message, saying that BF: Heroes nor Bad Company are BF3. --Simon Moon (talk) 05:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
