EA Games and DiCE have opened the doors on the website for the next game in the Battlefield universe.

Normally when you think Battlefield you think World War 2 or wintry futurescape, hard metal machinery and realistic combat. But it seems that DiCE have taken a page from Valve’s playbook and gone Looney Tunes for the next iteration of the venerable franchise.
The other important bit: The game will be free. EA may be experimenting with an ad-supported gaming model, but then again a behemoth like EA doesn’t jump into a paradigm-changing thing like this without pretty much knowing they’ll come out richer at the other end.
Look for a release in the “summer of 2008.”
