Putting extraordinary effort into this release 

The promise of a more robust version of 
Battlefield 3 on the PC is something that DICE has talked about in the 
past, but it does seem that they fully intend to put the special effort 
into making the PC version something very special.

The latest news comes from lead designer, David Goldfarb, who was quoted
 in a recent tweet as saying, "We are putting special effort into the PC
 version; even for us, it's extraordinary." The news comes hot on the 
heels of an exceptional resurgence of Battlefield play on the PC after 
the release of the Battlefield Vietnam add-on for Battlefield: Bad 
Company 2. 

While little is actually known about Battlefield 3, we do know that DICE
 and publisher Electronic Arts are planning for a release of the title 
toward the end of 2011. What comes as more of a surprise is that the PC 
version will apparently jettison support for Windows XP, and PC owners 
will have to upgrade to either Windows Vista or Windows 7 to play 
Battlefield 3. 

A beta for Battlefield 3 is planned for those that purchase Medal of 
Honor. DICE will be releasing Battlefield 3 on the PC as well as the 
Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is expected that players will get a real 
first look at what DICE has in store after an upcoming talk at GDC in 
March takes place with a more in depth reveal in June at E3. 

Battlefield 3 has yet to be formally announced by EA, other than the 
references to it during earnings discussions and the news of the beta 
that was included with Medal of Honor. Sources confirm to us that you 
can expect EA and DICE to make a formal announcement soon; and they 
suspect that EA will tell us of a potential date for the start of the 
multiplayer beta as well as the actual proposed ship date for the 
release of the game.

Battlefield 3 will use the Frostbite 2.0 engine which is DX11, and no support for Windows XP.
