Back on topic, yes, I think it will happen.  As to when and what theater or time period I have no idea.

lmfao +1 to u sir

My thinking is they will go back and do like a prequal to bf2, (side note, I HATE PREQUALS) so it's completley plausable.  All they can really do now is work on adding bigger maps, more vehicles and more players.  Basically bf3.......  Would be just bf2.5, bigger is better in the land of karkand.  Seriously can u imagen laying a clay and killing like 100 ppl on the same team, muahahaaha!

WW1: Done --> Infantry only at Jalalalabad..WWI wasn't more than just infantry only, tanks were crap, same goes for the planes.
1542: Done --> infantry only at Jalalalabad.. 1542 would not work, my guess it the civil war? we would all be lined up? shoot one, get shot? or just get shot?

-Going prone and standing up would take alot more time
I agree

Wear a 60+LBS suit and go prone. Then try to get up. See how long it takes you.

Here's what you'd probably have to do:

Partially lift your body with one hand because you've got your gun in the other hand.
Bring the leg on the same side as the arm your using under you
Bend your other arm

Now you've got have your body held up by your free hand, you've got a knee on the ground, and you've got your arm bend so you're resting on your elbow.

Switch your body weight  over to the side held up by your arm and knee
Bring your other leg forward and past your knee

You're now back in the crouch position. How long did that take you?

Lets not forget. You probably wouldn't be able to fire your gun during that time... at least not very well.

What's the point of changeing if it sells?
Agreed. I dont think they've even started planning yet. BF2142 was a quick game designed to sell. IMO BF3 will run on DX10/Vista and they wont even start designing the game for at least 6 months. Then give it an 18 month coding process, maybe longer. I have a feeling we'll see it by christmas of '08, or if the build process gets complicated some time in first quarter of '09.

I think the only more futuristic they could get it space combat, and possibly other planets.  But if it has anything with aliens, I'm not playing it.  Either that, or maybe a game set around 0 BC, or middle ages or something. 

I trust them, they'll think of something cool.

people should stop complaining about the patches and deal with it. they added new guns, and reloading while sprinting, who cares if you can't jump and shoot, like you'd hit anything. people need to stop fucking complaining.

and a ww1 game would be stupid cause to take a flag or trench, you'd have to charge across an open field loaded with snipers and MGs.

Another thing, by the time BF3 comes out they might be able to code their engine tighter, and allow bigger games like 128 player or even more! That would be sick, imagine a 200 person game on a map 2.5x the size of daqing!

People will have alot faster machines with more memory by then, broadband connections are ever increasing. 64 players is just not that realistic. Theres plenty of other additions they could make to the modern war franchise, no way is it dead imo. And if somehow it is, I'll have to move onto another series (maybe AA)

True, instead of nerfing (only b/c of mashtuur) they should have just added attack helos to that map or at least stationary/mobile AA. But I'm glad they partially got rid of bunny hopping/prone spamming, I want to play at least a semi-realistic combat game, bunny hopping is just pathetic. If you call me a noob for hating fake shit like that you can go to hell (not you Bell, generally speaking).

First of all, DICE does not make ANY sports games. Second of all, WW1: boring trench warfare with bolt action firles, 1542, muskets? Boring. 0014.......sliped my mind, could be cool

I gotta say that I agree with the ones who think that a new BF is gonna come.
The B franchise has been BIIIIG. As for the theater of the conflict, that doesn't seem to matter. Look at Desert Combat mod for BF1942. It was HUGE.
A new engine doesn't mean that they (developers) wont use an already used conflict. Or make up a new one (like with B2). I wouldn't mind seeing a WW1 BF, but that can be done just as easily with the current engine and a little modding.
The thing to wait for is the new engine. I have a feeling that BF developers will hop on the wagon and make a Phys-X engine and then release a new BF. It may be a semi modern conflict, it doesn't matter, what they're selling isn't the STORYLINE, it's the action, the graphics and the excitement. You dont need a new war for that. You just need an engine, some designers and some artists.

I agree with you though, personally I'd rather not see another WWI/WWII game but honestly I would play it. I'm really hoping for a modern combat game though, like BF2, all new maps, new features, new engine, more players, less stupid glitches, slightly more realism (no med kit dropping, J10 raping, supply guys carrying unlimited AT rockets, etc..)

A cool idea to get rid of the stupid kit crap would be having bases you could fall back to for ammo, supplies, healing. Have stationary bots guarding the heavily armed base like you would find in a real combat environment. No players would want to play defense the whole time so just make bots do it, if an enemy jeep tries to fly in they would get RAPED.

No doubt that there will be a bf3 in some form or another in the not so distant future

To be honest, if you think they won't continue to develop one of the most popular online games ever then you are pretty damn stupid - unless EA suddenly decide they dont like money anymore that is

No it was because you guys used bunny jump to the limit and even more, that's why they took away it. Squad jump was taken away because everyone was using it instead of being in a squad with only 1 leader.

The game was ment to a bit realistic and when half the games come from CS and UT they think bunny jump is normal.
If you want realism go play America's Army.

If bf2 was real,

-Planes would be shot down with 1 missile
-Players wouldn't be magically revived/healed
-Support packs would weigh tonnes each, as they even refil tank shells (I think?)
-When close to a wall and prone, you wouldn't be able to magicllay turn around 360 degrees, with your feet going into the wall.
-Going prone and standing up would take alot more time
-Planes wouldnt magically reload/repair when driving over the airfield
-A single wrench wouldn;t repair everything
-Claymores would have more than a mile blast radius
-F35's would own the complete and utter fucking shit out of anything short of a nuke
-You wouldn't magically be outside the tank and then get inside with the touch of a button, and no visible doors etc. Same with choppers/jets
-C4s could be thrown like tennis balls
-You wouldn't magically re-incarnate after 15 seconds
-In turning like you would in bf2 jets, flipping and stuff, you'd blackout in real life = death.
-Entire kits wouldn't magically drop when someone dies, with no animation of the person putting on their kits clothes, etc. You would have to physically strip the person to make it like bf2 does.

Could think of lots more...

You want realism, join the army.

They did it in Planetside, so I see no reason why that cant be done for Battlefield

Go here: http://www.marcopolo.me.uk/portfolio.htm# and download the video "A NC Vangaurd raid.". That was one of my former clans in the game - a raid of about 150people against an enemy base of god knows how many. Aircraft, tanks, troops...just like BF. Except its futuristic, so I suppose like 2142.
I really wish I had taken part in that game, especially after watching that.

Imagine some big maps (Songhua/Dalian/Taraba(!!)/DV/FuShe) expanded a little for 64v64 or 128v128 battles! That would be awesome. Hell, even Wake with about 5 jets per team....
Although, city maps would be completely shit and nade spamming/claywhoring would be more than doubled:/

Other wars could maybe the Falkands? Driving the battlecruisers and blowing the shit out of the Argentines. Of course, it wouldnt sell since it was British forces and nothing related to Americans (if its not got a hint of America in it, then it wont sell even half the copies of what it would otherwise).

Bring on BF3. I think they need to have a similar idea to BF2, just new maps, new armies and a shit load of additional maps.
And less bugs.
Lets say, 6 armies (like SF has), but across about 30 maps where most armies encounter each other - unlike PLA/MEC.
Examples might be USMC, British, French (HA!), Koreans, Iranians, Germans, Russians, Chechnians, etc etc. If a stats system was kept (and I think it should be), then a lot more medals/badges to be earnt, some of them a lot harder to get and higher points for some of the ranks. General should, imo, be at about 500K judging from the place people are at in this game after only a year and a bit.

But...in the meantime, BF2 will do fine. 2142? Fuck off with that futuristic shit...but put the weapon upgrades in BF2/BF3.

Here are some possiblities.
Korea: What an odd mix between Vietnam and WWII tech. That might be interesting.
WWI: I think the game would consist of "Someone [poison gas] Someone Else" x500. No fun.
Anything earlier than that: Shitting weapons, no fun.
Grenada: Wait, what was actually a war?
Somalia: An evolved and more deep (of course fictional) version of the conflict in Somalia during the early '90's might be interesting, sounds a lot like BF2 though.
