Battlefield 2

In a presentation to investors, Electronic Arts mentioned several of their upcoming plans to expand in the future. Along with announcements of growing profits in spite of crashing financial markets everywhere, the session was open to questions for John Pleasants, Chief Operating Officer at EA, in which several surprises were announced.

One such revelation is that DICE are developing Battlefield 3. Currently, no platform information or solid release date has been mentioned, but Pleasants noted that the game is not going to be released "this" financial year, the product slated for release at some point after March 2010.

Pleasants who, has seen the game in action at DICE's Sweden offices noted that he was "highly impressed" by the title, while adding that the entire upcoming games in the series "look fantastic" - with an emphasis on moving towards a "gaming service", in a bid to compete with the incredible growth of Call of Duty.

Battlefield 2 was a highly successful title from DICE and remains a highly popular game among fans of first person shooters, so it is quite certain that the third instalment in the series will be a hit when it is eventually released.
