[Update: Mass Effect 3 Deal was immediately canceled by EA Origin.] Over the last few weeks, there’s been a growing movement from Battlefield 3 fans aiming towards getting DICE to improve their communication regarding updates for the game. It certainly didn’t help the situation that the oft-rumored Battlefield 3 DLC wasn’t announced last week at an EA event as hinted at by Peter C. Ausnit, Vice President of Investor Relations....
Like some of the other Battlefield 6 rumors, the hub game leak should be taken with a major grain of salt. After all, its origins trace back to a Reddit post from the fresh account bf6leaker, with the unproven source having the claim disputed by several players. Still, if the hub game leak does prove to be accurate, it puts the Battlefield series in an interesting position going forward. Further, it serves as a direct contrast to Call of Duty: Warzone’s integration strategy, something that could help Battlefield 6 become even more successful....
This rumor is particularly interesting considering just how different the two franchises are, as little similarities between Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare exist apart from their settings and the first-person perspective. However, this leak could change that, as one simple move could have huge implications for the Battlefield franchise. While this is still only a rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt, fans can expect some big things if it proves true....
DICE’s interest in VR comes direct from Lars Gustavsson, the design director of upcoming first-person shooter Battlefield 1. It certainly sounds as though DICE is keeping an eye on the technology’s potential for new gameplay experiences. “Who knows what we do in the future with VR but it’s definitely something on the radar for the studio,” said Gustavsson. If or when DICE moves towards virtual reality, it seems like the developer is going to be aiming to do things right....

French football’s ethics committee said on Monday it was unable to make a ruling on Marseille midfielder Joey Barton’s controversial Twitter insults directed towards Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva because of uncertainty over the translation of his remarks. Barton had called Silva a “pussy” and “a overweight ladyboy” in a Twitter tirade at the start of the month. “We took a decision, which is to say to the federation that we cannot judge the case in this state,” explained National Ethics Commission (CNE) president Laurent Davenas....

Widely regarded as one of PlayStation VR’s strongest titles, Batman Arkham VR’s PlayStation 4 exclusivity has long been known. After all, it’s published by Warner Bros. and not Sony, and WB’s never been one for platform exclusivity. The question was simply how long the timed exclusivity would last. With the limited number of titles being made for VR at this point in time, the longer the exclusivity the better for PlayStation VR....

While comparisons between Call of Duty and Battlefield have existed for quite a while, as the two series have always done similar things, it seems like the franchises are going down different paths in how to best capitalize on the online shooter market. Warzone is sticking to the free-to-play battle royale scene, while Battlefield 2042 will still be a paid experience that doesn’t include a battle royale mode, focusing on more traditional gameplay instead....
As much as the Frostbite 2-driven game, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, might pique some interest from everyone, it was Battlefield 3 and the the playable infantry-only expansion that we got to play with. Close Quarters will feature 10 new weapons and 4 new maps, each of which encourages tense and confined firefight scenarios that will appeal players who enjoy fast-paced combat situations and team deathmatch gameplay. The map, called ‘Ziba Tower,’ takes place in a sort of penthouse/office building amalgam....
The issue arose when news of the Physical Warfare Pack adding three new additional weapons to Battlefield 3 would only be available in select retailers. Would it be fair for some gamers to start with a larger arsenal? EA explained that they carefully chose balanced weapons, but the uproar about pre-order content still raged on. A similar issue arose when the internet came down on EA for similar pre-order content for Battlefield: Bad Company which led the company to scrap those plans....
