No, its not
There is no connection at all between the two.
Bad company for the consoles is just like Modern Combat was, Consoles are one thing and PCS are another.
Whenever it will get the name of BF3 you will know.

Wouldn't it be really great if we already had a polished MMO like Planetside that we could play right now? And wouldn't it just be superb if it was completely free aswell? Wait, hang on a second.. what's this?

Say what now? I played Planetside and used to pay that outrageous monthly fee. I heard they were doing a promotional 12 months free with hardcore limits like you can't get beyond the 5th battle rank or something. But unless they changed that, I am not going to go back and play 12 months as low rank cannon fodder just to find out that I have to start paying monthly again to play.

Guess the real question is, since I still have the CD, can I now play without monthly fees and get beyond battlerank 5 or am I just SOL?

As for BF3 being a MMOFPS, sign me up so long as I don't have to pay monthly fees. Never again.

EDIT: Nevermind, just did lots of Googling and found out that this "no monthly fee" thing is only temporary and that at the end of the trial, they will be prompted to delete their character or pay the subscription fee. Just another con by the gaming industry.

no monthly fee but how?
Trading items for cash in an in game marketplace. 10% goes to dice instead of eBay.

Let people create custom textures for a jet or a tank. Player1 pays player2 in $ and another 10%.

Ever walked into a battle with a Nike amour? Nike design Dice creates the content (charges Nike for the creation?) sold online again 10%. Ikea, cola, and the list goes on. I don't mean any item in game of course and the amour isn't tougher, it just looks cooler.

Integrate itunes to buy songs in game. listen to them in game (ipod is another item for the marketplace) and save them on the hdd like the normal itunes songs. Again 10% of every transaction.

Monthly fee
Flat rate- for the hardcore 8h everyday player.
Prepaid- 40 h or 20h per month for the less hardcore.


INTEGRATE BF2 and BF2142 as PvP and for Tournaments and shows.
Match of the month anyone probably not bftv? So just use the demo files but have it appear in game like a Tv/DVDplayer set.

more ideas coming... up next fighting...

A Battlefield MMOFPS would suck ass, what NPCs could you have? How do you settle duels, blast 'em with a full ammo belt? meh...

I would buy a battlefield themed mmofps, even with a monthly fee. I played planetside for about a year, but I was always annoyed with the actual fps gameplay. It was always laggy and a shot to the foot was the same as one to the head. There were alot of other problems with it, which is why I quit.

Another mmofps that I am waiting for is Huxley. But that game seems like it is turning into a less exciting form of unreal tournament.

[GreenBaboon]

it would suck imo

[bobbyo]

i dont think ea/dice should make battle field 3 a mmofps battle field is better the way it is just listen to the other post and ull realise how little people are going to play if its a mmofps

[Dr Rude]

lets get BF2 and 2142 right before we take the next step EA

Monthly fees to a game would ruin my life

1. Its a bit early to talk about, so where the hell the idea comes from so fast?
2. If it contain monthly fee, then i WONT buy.
3. It would be cool.

My guess is EA/Dice thinks about it right now. So s.b. must have leaked the info.
That could have been on purpose to see how we would react.

I have mixed feelings about it. Lots of potential but also hundreds of ways to go wrong.

This would be awsome if it went MMOFPS. I was thinking about it the other day and was trying to figure out how it would work. Probably be huge. If it was any more than NZ$10 a month I probably wont take it unless it's really really really good. But I would always rather have it free

Look at the Unlock/Ranking-System that was introduced an built up with BF2.. i dont think this "idea" is all new to EA/DICE.....

Yeah, it has been heading in that direction for a while now. It's definitely an idea with a lot of potential, but as stated before, it could easily be disastrous. Either way, it's a long way off (I hope).
