GamesCom: Battlefield Q&A

Lots of applause right now. Just starting the Q&A.

We are going to have a Dog Tag competition to win some awesome real life DICE Dog Tags. (After the Q&A)

"I am here to reply to YOUR questions"

There will be no more information on #BF3 and #BFBC2V, there will be more news released later down the road.

Like contests and competitions such as the Twitter Contests and playing with the Devs.

"I want to make the community a smaller place, something that is more close."

"What is happening with the community right now" Dog Tag hunt with @Gamm4 every month with nice prizes."

Community Pressroom- Gathering newsposters and opinion maker to spread news. Anything posted by me in the Com. Pressroom is 100% official

Competitive support- We are working with ESL to provide great prizes and support. Not just for #BFBC2 but #BF2 also.

Now we are accepting ideas from the Community.

"New maps, why do we need new maps?" Send in your answers.

"Because they are old maps with different modes" Need the maps to be balanced more.

"Why not give the community the tools to make the maps if there is not time for the devs?"

"We will not release mod tools for #BFBC2" "It is not that we don't want to" The problem is the engine is to complicated in its current form

Q:"What happened to maps 10 and 11?" A:"I have never heard of that, I will get an answer from DICE look for my answer on twitter"

Had a huge response to the "What you would like?" thread on the EA UK forums. Looking into how to go about the requests if they are possible

"I don't see #BFBC2 on PC as a console port"

"SPECACT kits are awesome" We are working on it to get added to the PC version, the kits were making the game crash. We are working on it.

Will keep supporting BC2 and we are looking at the suggestions and bugs. Are pinpointing the issues and looking into releasing more patches

Knife bug is do to lag, related to the EA servers.

BF1943 for PC is in development and will release more information on it when we are 110% ready.

BF2142 patch is in testing at Combat Testing and we are looking to roll the patch out in the coming weeks.

"What I want from BF3 is large scale competition support"

Battlerecorder is not ready for Frostbite, what we use is an internal version that is not very good.
