Wife just grabbed me a gift card to Bestbuy for my b-day. Will swing past there and pick it up tomorrow. It better be good or I'm staking someone. Came up with that idea earlier today. I REALLY want to stake someone to the ground, just for the sheer experience of doing it. All spread eagle, and then use the huge tent stakes that take a mallet to drive in through the arms and legs...probably one to either side of the head to stablize it, and then one through the stomache just to stop the constant writhing. Just saying.

I completely expect them to drop 99% of the support BC2 gets on the PC when BF3 comes out. Of course, 99% of 0 is still 0 :<.
Talk of BF3 got me interested as I hadn't heard anything about it yet. Quick google search didn't reveal much, but here's what I found:

What we heard: Digital Battle's article is based on a .pdf file with a features list for the unannounced Battlefield 3. The site said the file appeared to be intended for Electronic Arts investors, who supposedly should receive it by December. More than 20 bullet points paint a picture of the next full installment in EA's multiplayer military first-person shooter series, starting with its expected release date in late 2008.
According to the article, the game will be set in the modern day (like Battlefield 2), with an emphasis on Middle Eastern settings and support for up to 40 players per team on eight different maps. For the numbers crazy, each of Battlefield 3's two factions will have access to its own assortment of 24 different vehicles and 17 different weapons. The game will also supposedly feature unlockable equipment, customizable characters, and in-game replay functionality.
While the article says the game won't launch until the end of next year, gamers might get a crack at a possible public beta in the summer. However, the leaked info suggests the game will only be released for Windows Vista PCs and the Mac's OS X, with Windows XP users left out in the cold. An announcement for the game--along with a teaser trailer--are pegged by the article as coming in January.
