    Battlefield 3 ??

    I'd have to see some more before making a decision, but I won't be getting Vista just for this. That much is for sure.

      The comment about possibly no XP support scares me, as I have no plans whatsoever to upgrade to Vista.

      I prefer 2 factions rather than 3, and it sounds like there are multiple base weapons per class (unless the 17 weapons per faction are counting things such as smoke grenades, frags, etc.).

      With only 5 classes, rather than 7 that BF2 had, I'm guessing there's going to be some "combinations" going on, as it was in BF2142?

      BF2 was very fun, in my opinion, but BF2142 was a bit of a step backwards, I think. Hopefully they can see what players enjoyed most from both games, and find a good way to bring all these elements together.

      It sounds promising, but this is EA here.

        I missed the non-XP references...

        I too will be running XP until whatever replaces Vista has released SP1 !!

            Well I would imagine it will support XP...Im assuming that Vista will be the suggested requirement while XP will be a min requirement...Im looking forward to the release of this and guys dont be so scared of Vista...it stinks @ the beginning cause of all the UAC crap and so forth but after you learn what to disable and that it destroys XP...I have never had any issues with it since the Longhorn release

              80 players. Hopefully they will let me play games once I am in the fleet.

                I like BF2 over COD4.

                More teamwork orientated, what made if fun for me.

                Looking forward to BF3, although I doubt they'll require Vista. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I think it'll cut down their market significantly, not going to do something like that.

                  There is more teamwork and communication in BF2, which in some ways is strange because more people have mics now, but the foot combat in COD4 is light years beyond BF2. However, the vehicles of BF2 rock. Tanks rule, and the rapid fire APCs were fun as all get out.

                      I've gotten used to Vista. I've had the machine for about a year... just shy of a year maybe, and after adding video card, XFI sound, and 3 gigs of memory, I cannot complain. It has never locked up on me, I can say that much. Getting used to it is the worst part.

                        I wonder if M$ has anything to do with this, trying to prop up Vista acceptance?

                        I would not buy Vista simply to play ANY game.

                        Amen, Tails!

                          What are some of your opinions about this BESIDES the POSSIBILITY of it being Vista only. I doubt that EA would do that considering how many people still use XP, especially because this series has done so well and has been around for a long time now and i don't think they would ruin it over something like that.

                            8 maps doesnt seem like enough. How many did BF2 have on release? 2142 had:
                            Cerbere Landing
                            Camp Gibraltar
                            Shuhia Taiba
                            Minsk
                            Fall of Berlin
                            Tunis Harbor
                            Suez Canal
                            Belgrade
                            Verdun
                            Well, only 9. But that wasnt even enough.

                              My marketing eyes went "buzz" when I read this.

                              It looks like a dis-information sheet that was "leaked" to cause interest to the franchise.

                              The no comment in the DICE and EA response suggests that its intentional as well, to pull eyeballs off COD4 and other games.
