While away at E3 we have been a bit behind on the news.

Here is a list of Battlefield news from today and the past couple days.

Also check out the newly redesigned Battlefield.com, which has twitter

feeds, polls, and rss. Looks great!

It’s time for a proper update to the Battlefield portal, which has not been given a lot of DICE love lately. Instead we have all hunkered down, deeper and deeper behind our monitors, putting another shoulder into making games instead of worrying about something as simple… as a web page. But no longer, it’s time to fix this.

Today we re-launch the Battlefield portal, a first step towards a new franchise presence at battlefield.com. My name is Karl Magnus Troedsson and I’m the Executive Producer for the Franchise and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to this new and improved part of the Battlefield experience. It doesn’t matter if you’re a diehard fan that’s been with us since 1942, a new recruit or simply browsing for info on our games… this page is made by us - for you. Read the Rest...

Couple notes from my E3 experience.

EA press conference didn't feature anything Battlefield, but EA CEO ohn

Riccitiello spoke along with Peter Moore of EA Sports and many others.

Tennis player Pete Sampras appeared on stage to play some Wii Grand Slam Tennis.

After the EA event, we went down the street to the Ubisoft event,

which was pretty unorganized compared to EA. It ended up starting

an hour late. Joel McHale (E! Entertainment The Soup host) hosted the

show. Director James Cameron spoke about his movie Avatar and how

the game will differ greatly. Brazilian football player, Pelé talked

about a Wii game he created with Ubisoft called Academy of Champions.

We recorded a lot of BF1943 footage from the booth. Look for it within

the next week. I will be putting more pictures up today from the Battlefield

1943 booth and from all over E3.

Bad Company 2 was shown only in a closed door session,

so sorry no footage of that.

Other notable appearances....Alex Albrecht (Co-host of Diggnation)

and Totally Rad Show crew. Stan Lee (Marvel Comics)

at Activision booth. Gabe Newell (Valve) at the EA booth

watching people play Brütal Legend.

I met famed FilePlanet extraordinaire, Justin Ramos aka Ferret in

the IGN war room, which is filled with a crazy amount of equipment.

 If you haven't checked out the File Blog you should see all the

swag he has collected including a Rabbids Go Home pink thong.

If you don't know what this game is about look it up. Very crazy.
