PC Gamers Bear the Brunt of Battlefield 3

The internet has been buzzing about Battlefield 3 since morning but all is not well at DICE. It seems the pressure to deliver a AAA product is so intense, they had to axe two PC Battlefield projects so all their resources can be directed toward Battlefield 3.

Bombing run

First up, we have Battlefield 1943, an XBLA and PSN game that’s been avoiding the PC since mid 2009 now. A dumbed down but enjoyable Battlefield game, 1943 took place in the Pacific theater during World War II allowing players to enlist as US Marines or the Japanese Imperial Army. In fact, you can read all about it in our review here.

Next up we have the Onslaught mode for Battlefield Bad Company 2 that pits a team of players against an increasingly tougher wave of enemies. Think of it as the horde mode from Gears of War 2, only in Bad Company 2.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

_(On)slaughter ’em all
_

To pacify PC gamers DICE has gone on record multiple times to state that the PC version of Battlefield 3 will be the best. Now considering the debacle that was the Bad Company 2 PC launch, I find that hard to believe.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
