BF3Blog has a screen of the BF3 rendition of Karkand...


Let's avance to the November M-COM right away...

There is a new version of BF3 available to pre-order.

The "Battlefield 3 Limited Edition: Physical Warfare Pack". It contains the Limited Edition "Return to Karkand" stuff, plus an extra four unlocks not otherwise available
QuoteThe Physical Warfare Pack is fully exclusive. There's no other way to get those 4 items.    Alan Kertz @Demize99 Stockholm. Senior Gameplay Designer on Battlefield 3.
You won't get these from Steam or Amazon, only by pre-order from GAME/GAMESTATION (same company) for £34.99



This is an attempt (not a very well thought out one IMO) to attract gamers to buy retail not digital. However, adding four unlocks not available at any stage to other players HAS to cause a balance issue. Armour piercing shotgun rounds anyone?

Your thoughts? Are you going to cave and change your pre-order to the most recent extra exclusive limited edition?

If the game is a steamworks title I'll probably pick it up retail from game to get these (It's likely cheaper that steam prices anyway). However I don't buy games that I can't tie to my steam account. I haven't since Feb 15th 2006...and I buy a lot of games. So I won't be getting these weapons unless like CoD MW2 & BO, or numerous other games it uses steamworks so the retail versions tie in with steam.

BF3 Is not a Steam Works title. See DICE twitter feed.

Disappointing. Will have to pay whatever steam asks for it...probably £40 **Sigh**

This looks awesome. It seems gf and I don't have time for holiday together this year ;) I have to find time to get and play this...

See this awesome makeover from BF2 to BF3 in this video from EA pwned. There’s some interesting stuff in the video, but the real meat-n-two-veg is 7 mins in, so for real satisfaction, skip forward to 6:57...

Seven years of graphics engine improvements! Oooh, suits me sir!


See BF3 Blog for screenshots.
