DICE has 'a massive Battlefield 3 DLC plan'

4.3
DICE has hinted at an ambitious year-round DLC plan for Battlefield 3.

Asked if the company intends to offer the same level of ongoing support for Battlefield 3 players as rival series Call of Duty does, creative director Lars Gustavsson told MCV the developer has "completely restructured" the studio around its plans for add-on content for the upcoming FPS.

"Nowadays, we have operations team who looks at the title when it starts getting closer to launch (or long before) with potential downloadable content and so on, to really have a plan," he said.

"Otherwise you're quite likely to start slipping. If you're focusing just before release on what you're going to ship post-launch, then I think you have problems.

"So, yes there is a massive plan in place."

Battlefield 3 producer Patrick Liu said earlier this week he thinks EA's franchise has the edge on Call of Duty, although he admitted he's just pleased his game's being bracketed in the same league as the current FPS genre king.

Yesterday EA released a new Battlefield 3 trailer focusing on the shooter's destruction gameplay.

DeadlyDasher Idk why DICE is calling out COD. MW3 will sell more than BF3.

I like both games, but its the truth children.


Quality, not quantity.


MW3 will outsell and be way better than that camp-in-a-bush-all-round game. It's still gonna be ok but not better than COD

it's easy to counter a camper in that game, and they said they'd make it so the bushes can be destroyed. Yay! And how is this game worse than the camp-in-a-corner, room, under-a-car, on-top-of-a-building, and-headglitching-all-round game (MW3)?

SuperHazed It would be pretty sick if they did something with zombies, like a mix between L4D and CoD.... killing zombies with a tank would be awesome.
no because they wouldn't copy call of duty and they wan't to be there own game


A wise developer takes great ideas from other games and puts them in their game. Like how COD added a Gears of War Horde type mode.

And why did you put an apostrophe in "wan't"

My thoughts exactly... who cares if they copy someone or not if somethings fun its fun.

Sadly you guys won't be making EA more money because you think BF3 is better.

And as that guy said

"Opinion and preference, not "quality"."
