I hope it's more like BF2 than BFBC2.

What I'd really like to see is them doing another 2142 rather than the same old same old current day military shooter. I'm getting sick of virtual M4's and AK's.

My guess is its Battlefield 2 modernized with Frostbite 2. I hope they balance aircraft abit better though.

I would say more that its Bad Company 2 with 64 players and jets. They won't put that much effort into it. Rumor is its still only 4 classes.

So long as it maintains the destructible environments, I'm cool. I'll be getting for 360, definitely, PC maybe. Very excited about this one.

"Pre order to get the expansion pack at no extra charge" what does it mean? That the expansion pack will be available on game release day or that it will be released on some future date and you will have the key to unlock it or something else?

I read it is using the same engine as Bad Company 2, do you think it will be a more hardware demanding game, especially if it is 64 players?

Same engine, improved and a bit less console-y. Built for DX11 and 64 bit OS, you need at minimum DX10 and Vista, XP/DX9 can't run it. Given how good it looks in the trailer and all the technology goodness packed in it, it's going to be pretty demanding.

Interesting article scans here too:

You think they're gonna make another 'forgotten hope' WW-II addon?

Supposedly Dice isn't going to release an SDK, so it seems unlikely unless the tools situation changes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development_kit Without modding tools the only thing you can really do is change textures and make a few tweaks to the GUI. In some cases, you might be able to do what TemplarGFX has done OFP: DR, which is pretty much hard coded.

Are you the same Ryujin that was going to work on a mod for OFP: DR back in 09?

After watching those clips, I've changed my mind.

I'm getting it for the PC, screw the 360.
