New Battlefield to be announced on Friday

EA?s set to drop the bass on Friday after confirming it will reveal an all-new Battlefield game.

The news was dropped by Easy, the lot behind Battlfield Heroes, and its GM Ben Cousins.

Cousins was keen to stress the game was not ? repeat, not ? Battlefield 3, however.

?Flying to London later today to show a new, unannounced #Battlefield game to the press. News goes public on Friday. (NOT #BF3)?

Whatever it is, it?s not going to be called Battlefield Assault anyways.

?Just to confirm ? I am NOT going to London to announce any game called ?Battlefield Assault?. That is just a URL EA picked up.?

And if you think it?s going to be a console port of Heroes, wrong again. Cousins says the title is ?completely new.?

So there. It?s not Battlefield 3 ? it?s reveal will come shortly, it seems ? but a new Battlefield it is.

Information on Battlefield 1943 for PC coming ?in the not so distant future?

EA has said information on the PC version of Battlefield 1943 will be coming in ?the not too distant future?.

Speaking with Eurogamer, EA Games VP Patrick Soderlund said the PC version of Digital Illusions multiplayer shooter promised it was still under development.

?We are obviously working on the PC platform and we?ll be ready to talk about that shortly, he said in the much quoted interview. ?You should see information around the PC platform in the not too distant future.?

Back in September, the EA Store got gamers hopes up when it listed the game as being for sale, but apparently, it was just a posting error.

Hopefully, it won?t be much longer, or it might win the vaporware title of the year now that Duke Nukem is definitely coming out.

Battlefield 1943 was released on consoles last year.

:woot:

I don't think DICE are involved with this one.

That would be a first. As far as I'm aware, DICE was involved with every Battlefield game since Battlefield 1942 in '02. I guess that would rule out a sequel to Bad Company 2 or Battlefield 2142.

meh, if it's not BF3 it doesn't matter. :(

Battlefield 3 was already announced (with a reveal coming soon). As for this game, my best guess is a Battlefield Heroes-type game for XBLA/PSN.

As expected, EA today revealed a new game in the Battlefield series, and as expected, it's part of the publishers Play4Free line of PC games that let you, well, play for free. Battlefield Play4Free pits the forces of the United States and Russia against each other in a 32-player online combat game for the PC that, like its "free" predecessor Battlefield Heroes, won't cost you a pretty penny to download or start playing.

Wait one minute... that looks like Strike At Karkand!!!!!!!

Regardless, count me in to check it out, the starting price is good for me. laugh.gif

Yup

I got to play the game on Karkand ? a map slimmed and toned a smidge since its previous inception as Strike at Karkand in Battlefield 2. The focus is quicker, dirtier scrapes. The tweaked map?s shorter engagement distances reduced standoffish play, but cover and assailable high points gave enough tactical depth to reward teamwork. In short, it?s Battlefield 2 that runs from a browser.

Considering it is my favorite MP Map ever made, I knew it had to be it, but thanks for the confirmation. I will literally be checking it out just to play Karkand again.

I knew that map had to be returning somehow, and I am a bit disappointed it has not made it's triumphant return using the new frostbite engine, but actually I think they probably might have even saved it just for this, as that map alone will more then likely entice some people to play it just for the nostalgia / great map factor.

Just signed up for the closed Beta so here's to hoping. Considering I have actually been part of almost every other EA Free to Play Beta, I am hoping that trend continues.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
