DICE Looking Into Battlelog for Tablets & Phone “Apps”

DICE will be bringing something new to Battlefield players when Battlefield 3 hits this coming October; and it’s not just Frostbite 2. I’m talking about the game’s stat-tracking social networking site called the Battlelog.
The Battlelog will be a way for Battlefield fans to connect, share stories and catch up on their character progression. It’s also been confirmed by DICE that the Battlelog will indeed be the server browser used for the PC version of the game.
Speaking at gamescom, DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson gave his thoughts on the possibility of a Battlelog app for tablets and smart phones.
We haven’t announced anything yet, but there definitely is. There’s long term plans for how we want to engage the community not just while you’re sitting in front of your console or computer, we want you when you’re sitting on your own on the bus or the tube or whatever we want you to connect into the game experience.
Not play the actual game per se because the Battlefield 3 experience is a hardcore, HD, AAA experience – even the iPad 2 which is an amazing, powerful platform – whatever’s going to come in the future will be great – but just connecting the BattleLog to the different mobile platforms is definitely going to be a way in which we want to embrace the community in new ways. That’s definitely a core thing for us.
I assume this is something that most Battlefield fans would welcome with open arms, no?
Be sure to give the whole interview a read, as Troedsson also talks about the “competition,” Battlefield and what the horizon holds for the Swedish studio.
Do it Dice, Do it for the sake of the universe.
@PCGamer - I'm guessing this will happen someway or the other. :) Excited for an official app for it to be honest. :D
