I'd rather wait and stay put for Battlefield 3, as, well you know, Lucas Arts did a little stunt and took the exact same game concept and Star-Wars'd it. I am a very conscious man when it comes to creativity, but outright plagiarism of how a game is run is a no from me.

I usually agree, but something about the star wars universe ALMOST made it ok. The Galactic Battlegrounds game they made (an admitted rip-off of Age of Empires II) was an amazing RTS. Some of the other rip offs, not so much..
Yes, these games are great to play, but it's really the part about them being "yours" that count the most.
Analogy: You composed a wonderfully-written piece of music that many independent musicians and private companies alike wish to buy, while the owner knows that the song was a complete rip-off of another composer's piece, skewed to fit the intended audience. The result was a great percentage of money going to you, while some still go to the original composer, because of popularity. Watch out though--someone finds out and make a case, you can be sued for plagiarism!
About every Lucas Arts game I remember fits the bill. I'm *positive* Starwars: Battlefront III will be excellent, because Battlefield made it so.
