*/"BT: //Between the console-based Bad Company and the more casual, kind

of accessible feel of Heroes, some hardcore fans may be worried that the

once realistic, PC-only shooter is now...

 

BC: Changed?

 

BT: //Yeah, like it's going to suddenly become this casual, console-only

shooter.

 

BC: Well, I'm the executive producer on the franchise. I'm really in

charge of the entire //Battlefield franchise and it's very clear to me

that there are three...well, we have to make this a three-pronged

assault with the series really.

 

First, there are consoles. Consoles are really big, we can't ignore

them, we have to be on the consoles. Second, there's this casual

experiment we're going with //Battlefield: Heroes and the third prong is

the hardcore PC gaming experience. We've made those in the past and

we'll continue to make them in the future. We aren't specifically

announcing anything, but we are still going to keep those hardcore

gamers very happy.

 

A lot of people are confused when they see //Heroes because they see it

and assume that that is the future of //Battlefield on PC, but it isn't."

*Cheers guys!
