AugFC is correct. Battlefield is a completely different kind of game. Perhaps Call of Duty may be able to avoid being a step backwards but it would take alot more then a year of development. We all know the next Call of Duty is going to run on the same engine and have the same mechanics, and don't think I'm getting on the "Sucks because the previous games were to similar" crowd, no I'm just saying that if they keep with their current formula there is no way to step forward because they've dug themselves into a large rut.

Battlefield 2142 is an older Battlefield game and it is easy to see Battlefield 3 is a step forward because it is a massively different game. Also speaking of which a sequel to 2142 would be an insta-purchase from me. Modern "realistic" settings for shooters are getting to be BADLY over-used. Not to the point I can't enjoy them, but to the point that I'd prefer something else, and I've always loved science fiction.
