Woo Hoo, I worked it so I can get Premium before I leave in the morning. Just waiting for a money deposit confirm.
Got some extra work today Headed out of town early tomorrow so I'll have it when I get back. When does CQ come out ?
Is the new patch working well ? I played a round the other night and it seemed to run smooth as hell. Of course I hadn't played
with the new GPU much so that probably plays into it also.

CQ June 12th.

And generally the new patch is another good one which has improved the game though, of course, it introduced some new glitches/bugs such as M320 smoke having insane velocity and no drop.

New Battlefield Blog Post: E3 Day Three Recap – See You Next Year!

Spoiler

crash7800 | 06.08.12 |

It’s been a great E3 for Battlefield 3 – Battlefield Premium debuted, we’re releasing Close Quarters this month (PlayStation 3 Premium players have access now!), and we showed off Battlefield 3 Armored Kill behind closed doors on the floor. Oh – and let’s not forget the awards that we won!

In case you’ve been unplugged all week, Battlefield 3 Premium is our latest and greatest deal that lets you own more Battlefield. You can learn more about all the details here. In short, Premium gives you all five Battlefield 3 expansion packs with two weeks early access, a huge number of exclusive customization items, advanced Battlelog features, and inside intel and tips directly from DICE. Thousands of players are already Premium members – check it out now!



We also had the pleasure to show off Battlefield 3 Close Quarters on the showroom floor. Everyone from Battlefield fans, press, and celebrities like Xzibit and David Jaffe stopped by to check it out. While some were at first skeptical of its smaller maps and all-infantry combat, its maps quickly became fan favorites. DICE has been on floor collecting feedback from players and we’re hearing that the Battlefield’s huge selection of weapons and great gunplay are a great compliment to Close Quarters’ frantic pace and tight maps. Check it out!

We’d also give a huge thanks to everyone who stopped by to play!






We also had the pleasure of sharing Armored Kill with our dedicated fans behind closed doors! Drinks, a guided presentation and hands on time made for an unforgettable Battlefield experience!






And, to top it all off, Battlefield 3 was nominated for three awards and took one home for the mantel!

POP.com.br ‘Best DLC’ – WINNER
1up.com – Best Add-on E3 nominee (Premium)

Thanks to all of our dedicated fans for their support – you continue to make it all possible! We’re proud to be representing such a passionate, outstanding community.

You too, feller, have a nice trip. Don't forget to feed the horse at least once while you're on the road.

[Marineborn]

im honestly currently enjoying premium it offers alot for the price, currently trying to unlock the second medic assigment getting underslung greande launcher points isnt the easiest

[Wrigleyvillain]

I agree. Both about your statement re. Premium and also the difficulty re. underslung grens. I have a whopping one M320 kill so far (though I don't play Assault too often and also like whoring heal points so isn't usually even equipped).

Reddit - Played Armored Kill Three Times at E3. Lots of Details

submitted 11 hours ago* by MarkHawkCam

I got the opportunity to play Armored Kill 3 times this week. I had a really great last session today around 3:00pm with one of the developers answering my questions through out the complete demo and asking me for feed back. I really wish I'd gotten his name but if he is here, you were awesome.
Feel free to throw questions at me but here are some I threw at the developers.
Artillery (US HIMARS)
Will be two seat vehicle that only allows one occupant. This is to avoid other players from hoping in and driving it out of the position you placed it in.
All of the artillery fire mechanics are controlled by 1 person. You will aim and fire your rockets while watching your mini map. The mini map will display a series of shock wave icons that indicate where your artillery barrage has struck.
Firing speed was fairly fast to me. By the time my rockets had reached their target, I was only 2 seconds away from firing again.
You can fire 1 Rocket at a time or all 6-8 if you wish.
Firing range was a little less then half Bandar Desert (maybe closer to 1/3)
Artillery spawns at a base (Not the artillery base though) that can be captured and may work similar to Sharqi Peninsula TV station spawn. (Meaning if you hold that position you deny artillery tanks from spawning there)
Both teams get Artillery on Bandar Desert
Artillery was extremely weak in battle. Got destroyed by 1/3 a Z-11s machine gun payload. Travel near AA if possible or park next to a light post
Artillery has Perks that can be applied (Can only confirm I unlocked smoke)
AC-130
The AC-130 is a 2 Seat Vehicle + Mobile Paradrop Spawn.
Contains a 125mm canon that unleashes Giant Explosions.
The second seat primary purpose is to be AA for the AC-130. It's firing field is designed to cover it from fighter jets.
AC-130 can be shot down.
The AC-130 is tied to the furthest spawn point from both primary spawn points. This point can be captured and deny US from having it spawn back if shot down. This is again similar to Sharqi Peninsula TV station spawn.
You can Paradrop from the AC-130. Once it's full it will give you the option to spawn from its position. You won't spawn in the vehicle however. You spawn outside already parachuting into the battle based on where the AC-130 location was when you choose to spawn. This is similar to the Recon's spawn beacon.
Both gunners can deploy flares. I believe it works similar to a 2 man team in an attack chopper. No ECM.
AC-130 has NO perks that the user can equip.
Heavy IFVs
5-6 Seats.
Packs more of a punch then a Heavy tank round.
Fire Speed slightly slower then a Heavy Tank.
Light on Armor (3 tank rounds will take out a IFV)
Can have Perks
Bandar Desert
It's the biggest Battlefield Map ever created.
Both teams spawn on land
The map's spawns run left to right in a concave path.
4 Spawns offer significant tactical advantages (AC-130, 2x Artillery, Lots of Extra Armor)
No transport Choppers (I suggested adding a Black Hawk or Sea Knight I just wanted more mobile spawn points)
Air Vehicles on the map: 1 Viper, 1 Little Bird, 2 F-18s (or RU equivalent) + AC-130
Good amount of reused assets (Think Gulf of Oman) but with a gorgeous sky box.
ATV
The ATV is a 2 seat vehicle.
Passenger can face forward (previously in BFBC2 you could only face backwards... and it sucked)
There only appears to be 1 ATV model. No RU or US specific version.
It has a horn
Weapons and Gadgets
They were pretty silent and said they weren't talking about these right now.
Dinosaurs
Didn't see any but I didn't have time to check the small patches of long grass on the map.
Misc
Dice Friends Dog Tag No one knew how to get it and was confused by the question. Assuming I meant how do I get DICE dog tags but until I clarified this was a new user called Dice Friend.
New Game mode called tank superiority mode was briefly talked about
Ask questions if you got any.

[Wrigleyvillain]

Ah, you bastard. Of course you were recording! Please, also post some clips where you smash into buildings and stuff as I'm sure you must have some!

Heh, grumblings about being killed that way aside--nice job road killing me without slamming into the ground, bitch. As I said in chat, you are lucky I wash't playing engie with an RPG as you were bee-lining for me for quite some time! Notice I tried to strafe right at the last minute but no dice. I didn't know you were that good of a pilot, frankly, or I would've ran back between those refinery tanks. Or was this all luck...c'mon tell us!

P.S. That music sucks.

[Wrigleyvillain]

...that music? Um, yeah? But it's a YT video. I think shitty music in the TOS for videos without dialog.

I think I was overall complimentary considering he posted a video of me getting punked. And, furthermore, I'm sure plenty of you all would think at least some off the music I like "sucks" and I would not take it as a personal insult.

P.S. Your memes suck.

[cadaveca]

Man, that second vid, the whole time I think I might have been yelling at Ducky. Most of those assist points were thanks to me.

He's definitely getting better keeping it in the air...well, most of the time.

That was a good round for me, I think. Damn you, Mailman, for stabbing me.

it was really hard finding any music i could stand provided by YT that fit the ~30 sec clip.
I do have more footage to pour through like the time I was dogdgin jets, rpgs, and tank shells all at the same time w/o being shot down. To be fair I attempted to Roadkill dave but missed by like 5 feet and crashed trying to hit him again. ( not enough torque on the rotors to stay in the air.)
I usually find that as long as I have a good crew I can stay flying and rocking longer. ^_^

BF3 Premium kinda disappointed me. EA is always after money. Pay 50$ for the all map packs that's fine. But access to all this new camo's and guns? That's kinda unfair to the others who aren't fortunate enough to buy BF 3 premium..

[MT Alex]

It's the jump ahead in server queue that has proven to be the biggest disadvantage so far.

they will be able to get the guns when they get the expansions if they don't get premium. Its not like they are giving us over powered guns that no one will ever be able to use or have, like a lot of people were scared about.

Premium does NOT give you new guns. Expansion Packs give you new guns. Stop looking at Premium in a EVIL light. Yes there are some unnecessary features but those are just bonus. The only thing exclusive to premium as far as in game is Tags and camos.
