Former DICE CEO spills the beans on Battlefield 3 and suggests it will blow people away because it's not Modern Warfare 2...
We're not entirely sure whether EA or DICE would be too amused to read this morning's headlines surrounding Battlefield 3, considering they haven't even officially announced the title yet and the comments stem from a former employee presumably gagged by an NDA.
In an interview with Gaming Union, former DICE CEO and DICE Canada Studio Manager Fredrik Lilegren reveals that the PC title has been in development for the last three years and is "going to blow everyone away".
After admitting that the previous attempts to bring the franchise to console, or more specifically Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, were "really weak", Lilegren paints a better picture for Battlefield:
Bad Company 2 and suggests the team have "learned their lesson".
But it's the comments surrounding Battlefield 3 on PC that wets our collective whistle.
"What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away," Lilegren claims. "But I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away."
When pressed further as to why it will do that, Lilegren claims:
"Because it's not Modern Warfare 2 PC, it's not that experience."
Fredrik Lilegren left DICE back in 2006 and is currently CEO of both Redjade Inc. and Antic Entertainment.

Another point to make post 63 even if you have pre ordered it ( which i very much doubt ), they don't take the payment from your credit card until the game is released

Let's get one thing straight with Battlefield 3: EA has only acknowledged its existence briefly in a financial conference at this stage. There has been no official announcement containing a press release and assets from EA yet.
How post 63 managed to make a pre-order on the EA Store is beyond me. I certainly can't find the directory on the website now. Sounds like porkie pies to me.

usually a preorder doesnt require full payment but i doubt that EA is making a huge amount of intrest from just £15, other than that £15 for a new game is some what of a bargain, even if you have to wait for it.

I preordered 3 for PC at 14.95 from EA Store months ago. Hope they are loving the interest they are making on my money :-(

I'll be building a new gaming PC for Battlefield 3, and I hope its all DX 11, and uses the destruction 2 Frostbite engine.

To reiterate the posts below, we can't even be absolutely sure that the game is still in development, let alone when it's going to release. Clearly DICE has been working on a Battlefield 3 over the last few years though...
