Here's a video interview (2 videos) about Building Battlefield 3 + DICE's philosophy   
 
                                                                                                                     

The highlights of it for me were the fact that the Bad Company series didnt give the PC what it deserves because they were the first games using the 1.5 version of engine and DICE felt like experimenting with it in a BF-offshoot was a good decision before applying it to a  proper PC-based game.. so i guess Bad Company 1 not having a PC version is forgivable 
 Also i love how they're so dedicated to quality and to enjoying the work they do! 
 
The view from their office is fucking amazing btw, here's a screenshot :  
 

My thoughts are that Battlefield 3 is.... generic.

GEN.....ERIC.

Generic looking harbour. Generic looking building. Generic looking man sitting on a semi-generic sofa.

@Ahmad_Metallic: You're for BF3 what KaosAngel was for GT5 :P
 
But yeah I'm also ridiculously excited for this game, I hope it turns out good.

Uh huh. Because Sweden look generic to you? Right. "

They can talk, but the fact is that they already said "no" to mod tools.

Actually, Battlefield is original.  ORI...GINAL!  Original Technology. Original Design. Original Gameplay. "

It might have been original if this was 2005, but last time I checked it was 2011, and it ain't original anymore.

Dontbemadbra!

Hey, the hostel I used while visiting stockholm is RIGHT behind that guy. It's a boat hostel, it was really cool.  
 
I nerded out hardcore when I spotted the DICE building right across the harbor. It really stands out amongst the other buildings in the area. Aaah makes we want to visit Sweden again!

Yeah that's a nice hostel, for a boat. Slept there when touring the game developers in Stockholm. Amazing trip. "

What that for professional reasons, or are you just a stalker?  My only complaint was well... you can't exactly air condition a boat easily, and it was the middle of summer. Got real hot in there.  "

Alright everyone needs to calm down and be a lot more civil about discussing this game. Publishing relevant information about this upcoming game is fine and if you don't like it then don't post on these threads.

Did you just say we aren't allowed to post negative thoughts about the game? "
