Battlefield: Bad Company 2 hasn't even hit retail shelves yet, but already there's been sparse talk of the inevitable release of Battlefield 3. In an interview with Fredrik Liliegren, the CEO of DICE from 1988 to 2000, and Studio Manager of DICE Canada from 2001 to 2006, Liliegren told GamingUnion.net what he could about Battlefield 3.

Gaming Union: How do you think the Battlefield series has developed since you left DICE?

Liliegren: Well I knew that they were going to the console route because the numbers on the PC where dwindling. I know what they were talking about on the PC side for [the next] Battlefield, and they haven't announced any of that yet, after three years, so I know what's coming, and I still can't talk about it because I'm still under NDA (non-disclosure agreement).

I mean Battlefield Heroes is something that we talked about back when even Jeff [Evans] was working at DICE, in regards of taking Battlefield into a micro-transaction type model. We actually worked on that initial prototype for that here in Canada, just to see how we would split it up from a design standpoint.

I think for the console side, the first outing on [Xbox] 360 and PS2 and Xbox was really weak because we didn't have a single player experience. I think that Bad Company 2 is going to be really good because I think these guys are really smart and they learned the lesson. What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away.

GU: Even after 3 years?

Liliegren: That's why it's going to blow people away, because it's not Modern Warfare 2 PC, it's not that experience.

Considering Liliegren no long works for DICE, his opinion of the game is likely a lot more honest than you'd hear from any current executive. DICE has themselves confirmed that they've been developing Battlefield 3 for some years.

After the purchase of DICE by Electronic Arts in 2006, EA closed the DICE Canada studio. Instead of moving back to Sweden to once again helm DICE, Liliegren formed a new studio, Antic Entertainment. Make sure to check out our interview with Liliegren and his team about their new studio.

From reading that quote, it doesn't appear BF3 will take after BF2. I could be reading too much into it though.

I'm just hoping that they take BF2 and make some major improvements while still keeping the origional feel and controls of BF2.

I'd like new vehicles, maps, etc. But I don't want it to be a completely new game that is nothing similar to BF2. Just fix the bugs and make new toys.

Update graphics
Update netcode
Add a few small features here and there (friends list etc...)
Exactly the same kinda gameplay as BF2, including jets, helis, armour, transport and infantry
DO NOT introduce infantry only

If they do that, it will be a great success.

It's obviously going to have frostbite engine/destruction. Expect it to be more like BC2 than BF2. Except more like BF2 than BC2 was

I would love for planes to stay in BF3. I know a lot of people don't like them but they are so much fun to fly around in and do tricks n shit A no planes option would be interesting...besides the fact that they could just do a better job of balancing the planes and AA....

One thing about the graphics though. If they are as good as BFBC2 then what would the system requirements go up to? I may have to move up plans of building a rig :s

Some of the rumor sites (lol rumors) talk about battalions as groups of squads, what do people think if that idea? Maybe it'd be a good idea with more players. Didn't MAG have something like this?

As long as mod tools are released I'm sure even if BF3 sucked for any reason modders would fix it.

Games without destruction suck after playing BC2 and shit. Everything is too static and camper friendly.

Why do people have such a problem with IO servers? Simply don't play on them if it annoys you that much.

Said much better than I did.

I agree completely.

Infantry only can suck it too. The combo of vehicles and ground n pound is what made BF2 unique and awesome. I don't want a FPS game. I want BF2 refined. That is all.

As long as they don't cater it to brain-dead 14 year olds (MW2 crowd), I'll be happy.

I respectfully disagree.

I enjoy raping people with a tank or heli. That was a lot of fun with BF2. However, when they introduced I/O to BF2 with the 1.3 or 1.4 patch (I forget), it brought a new way to play the game. Spam nading aside, it was good times being able to see which people were actually able to shoot someone without using a vehicle. Perhaps it is because of my BHD/DF2 background that I enjoyed I/O so much. That being said, I would be disappointed if they did not include some sort of IO component in BF3. It's not necessarily a deal breaker but I would definitely be disappointed.

That's ok to dissagree. But why BF2/BF3 for inf only though? Why not a FPS game? Is it just the stats tracking aspect of it that you like?

No not necessarily just for the stats. There have been plenty of times I played on IO servers that weren't being tracked for stat purposes. I just like the fact that I can go and fly a heli for a while in one server then go to another server and get into some good 'ole fashion FPS action.

Fair enough. I guess I just like the full meal deal.

There's nothing stopping you playing infantry in a normal server.
