^We better should else the MOH pre-order would be a waste :(
You bought MOH? I didn't. I think those who pre-order BF3 will also get a BETA access, if that's the only way to get BETA access (other than MOH beta), then i'll have to preorder it through ORIGIN.

Just saw this. Wonder if it will come to India?

"Battlefield 3 developer DICE has revealed that selected retailers around the world will be offering a special pre-order edition with exclusive in-game multiplayer items unavailable elsewhere. Naturally, Battlefield fans are none too pleased with this.

While the 'Battlefield 3 Limited Edition: Physical Warfare Pack' was in fact announced back in May, then confirmed only for the UK, the fan backlash campaign really kicked off over the weekend on That Internet. You know, the usual--heaps of forum posts; calls for media attention; loud boycott vows very few will actually honour. Come Monday morning, EA has released a little FAQ to address the issue.

Pre-ordering BF3 from select retailers will get you the Physical Warfare Pack, which offers the Type 88 light machine gun, which was an unlockable in the Battlefield: Bad Company series, Battlefield 3's only sniper rifle flash suppressor, for the SKS, and flechette ammo for the DAO-12 semi-automatic shotgun. You'll also get an instant multiplayer unlock of the DAO-12 itself, and the non-exclusive 'Back to Karkland' vintage map pack, which is a pre-order bonus everywhere and will also be sold separately.

Only the UK retailers offering the Physical Warfare Edition have been revealed so far, Game and Gamestation, but DICE notes, "Exact details for other countries and retailers will be announced at a later date."

"The three exclusive items in the Physical Warfare Pack were specifically chosen not to be overpowered or imbalance or break the game in any way," DICE insists. "Owning these items will give you a more varied arsenal, but it will not give you a significant advantage on the battlefield."

In 2008, publisher EA planned to offer exclusive weapons for Battlefield: Bad Company. Five guns for multiplayer would have only been available by buying the Gold Edition or through microtransactions. However, after fan outrage, EA dropped the plans and decided they'd be available to all players for free, though Gold Edition players would have them unlocked instantly.

"When we saw this big uprise about people that really felt it was dissatisfying that some people bought the Gold Edition, those five weapons you couldn't get or that you had to buy if you had the ordinary version of the game, that we just decided that all weapons will be free in the game, and that's how it is now," producer Karl-Magnus Troedsson said back then. Clearly, fans are hoping for a similar resolution this time around.

DICE says it offers bonuses, "Because we believe in rewarding our core fanbase with special offers--such as giving them the Back to Karkand expansion pack at no extra charge." What goes unsaid is that retailer-exclusive content is used to encourage retailers to promote the game more. That's just business, of course, but attempting to dodge the issue may only serve to irritate fans further."

720p, 30fps confirmed for consoles.

btw, if Battlefield 3 do any COD shit like unlimited DLCs, DLC weapons and day 1 DLCs, ....

We are fans, not followers.

Well atleast the BF2 PS3 looks WAY better than Call of Booty. :p

And BTW DLC to hoga hi. BF2 had it. Expect it for this too.
 
Re: The "Battlefield 3" Thread! [PC] [360] [PS3]

I just hope Back to Karkand map is available for us, I mean we will be getting the Limited Edition for 999 right?
 
Re: The "Battlefield 3" Thread! [PC] [360] [PS3]

Good thing is, DICE doesn't rape us like Activision, their 15$ DLC is actually worth it whereas COD's 3-5 maps for 15$ ain't worth it at all. For example the new Vietnam. For me its better than BC2 itself :p Too bad no one (or maybe evry few people) play it from India.

fking Hell Quad Core, though the game can justify with its visuals
 
Re: The "Battlefield 3" Thread! [PC] [360] [PS3]

Hopefully mine too cause I fully intend to buy and play this online, hopefully with you guys
 
Re: The "Battlefield 3" Thread! [PC] [360] [PS3]

After pre- ordering Crysis 2 from EA,i lack the confidence to make another pre- order.
 
Re: The "Battlefield 3" Thread! [PC] [360] [PS3]

Not a bad idea in and of itself. Its the gung-ho attitude that might wane as time flies by.

The only plausible fault i would point out is that there's no incentive for one to order from the site. You get discounts, coupons in sites like next-world and intencity. But then we guys like the physical habitation of Shepard in our hands rather than have it as a digital download.

As a part of a weekly blog update, the German Battlefield blog gave readers a sneak peak at the new “Battlelog” feature. However the blog post was taken down shortly after, leaving us with a few screenshots of the new social system. You can check out the system, which should be available in a preview state for the upcoming beta this fall.

The “Battlelog” system looks to be a more advanced social system as opposed to the recent “Autolog” featured in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Players will be able to co-ordinate with their friends online prior to stepping into the game, check out their upcoming unlocks, their rank, stats and even their friend’s status in-game.

The social aspect of the system includes a Facebook-like “Battle Feed” where you will be able to keep a tab on your friend’s recent accomplishments and their comments. It’ll be interesting to see how this will compete against Activision’s Call of Duty “Elite” system set to debut this year as well. The captured screenshots are after the break.
