I have enjoyed all of the BF games (some more than others ofc).
BF3 could be great, but I am just wondering if EA will ever get off their ass and make it, or if they are concentrating on their console releases. (BF:BC 2)
Here is a "leaked" list of features for Battlefield 3, which was supposed to be for EA investors.
BF3 Features:
* Release in late 2008
* Powered by "Frostbite DX"
* Set in year modern day
* Will ship with 8 maps, each supporting up to 40-players per team

The above ^ looks really good, but I wouldn't trust EA to look after my pet squirrel even if someone made me.
No, I don't have a pet squirrel
