This is one of those cross roads where I need to make a hard decision. While we’ll continue supporting Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and previous games, it’s time to look ahead to the next giant leap for DICE – the release of Battlefield 3, powered by the mighty Frostbite 2 engine. Our goal is crystal clear: we’re going to build the best Battlefield game ever, and we’ll do whatever it takes to make this the biggest launch in DICE’s history.
We know some of you eagerly have been awaiting Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught on PC. I’m sad to say that these two titles are now officially cancelled. Instead, our talented teams will focus on delivering the greatest possible gaming experience in our next behemoth release. We’re confident this will lead to an even better experience in Battlefield 3, not only on PC, but on all platforms.
For an idea of what that means, watch this space for some exciting news I think you’ll like.

Coming from you, that's just terribly, terribly amusing, since whining is about all you fucking do. You're the new NKD.
Learn to use the ignore feature, moron.

Opinions do differ on whether it was good, but it does have a pretty solid following on PC and it has sold pretty successfully, too.
BF 3 (PC) R.I.P. sorry you were exposed to the deadly consolitis virus.
It continues to infect the PC world.

Which we will not release on the PC, of course. Bye Dice. Please make sure we never hear from you again.
God you can be a whiny bitch sometimes.

Cancelled? I don't think they ever intended to release them....
And BF3 on all platforms means it will suck.
They will say "oh special effort for PC..." then it will get here and it will be the same exact thing. Menu system will suck, controls will suck, FOV will suck, etc etc etc.
I have zero faith in them.

"until our next announcement. THEN you will know what it's like to be shat upon!"

Their "talented" teams couldn't (or didn't want to) finish a fucking remake with 3 maps in 2 years.
Fuck EA never gets old. Especially because they insist on giving us more and more reasons to send them to hell.
Your turn, Acti.

Over the past few weeks I've seen devs get raked over the coals here over the lack of PC demos. But a dev outright cancels a game and we see "Welp, that's a shame." Too funny.

It's probably because they've been in limbo so long, and BF3 probably isn't that far away http://twitter.com/locust9/status/33204033913102336 that a lot of people probably gave up on them already.
