The reasons for this delay are due to the fact that the company have not released a game on the PC which is powered by the Frostbite engine. While the release is anticipated to take place in the first quarter of 2010, the delay will also see the inclusion of new features, that are not present in the console versions of the game.
Speaking to G4TV, the producer of the title, Gordon Van Dyke - explained:
We haven't released a Frostbite-built game on PC, so going into this project we lacked a starting foundation we had on Console. There are also many different and unique challenges to the PC that lead to us pushing the release even further to Q1 2010. This was a hard pill to swallow, but it was absolutely needed to ensure the features and functionality that PC Players have come to expect from Battlefield on PC are not missing.The PC version is said to boast support for both DirectX 9 and 10, up to 32 simultaneous players, VOIP, and ranked servers. If the wait until next year is too unbearable, you can always pick up the game on the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360.
