Kris Rey, Nvidia’s Community Manager, has nothing but high praise for the graphics of Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 3 executive producer Patrick Bach has told VG247 that, while the shooter’s PC version is graphically “better” than its console siblings, gamers should stop worrying about the console editions.

Yesterday we posted a huge list of all the weapons in Battlefield 3, and today it’s vehicle time. DICE has released a list of confirmed vehicles in Battlefield 3. In total, Battlefield 3 will ship with 22 unique vehicles and 30 vehicle specializations, spread out across the different tanks, helicopters and jets.

EA’s press event gave us a taste of their line-up for the rest of year today in Cologne, Germany. At 15h30, 16 August 2011 a thousand people were crammed into a hall, waiting to see what EA’s vision of the future of games is.

A Battlefield 3-alpha-player has the exe file of the DICE-shooter and a closer look at the information communication feature "Commo Rose" discovered. Eine Bestätigung für eine solche automatisierte Chat-Funktion gab es für Battlefield 3 bislang nicht. Was a confirmation of such an automated chat feature for Battlefield 3 is not so far.

The most popular digital games distributor has yet to begin selling one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. Since Crysis 2 was first pulled from Steam, we've noted that Battlefield 3 had been conspicuously absent from the service and, in fact, was never at any point available for pre-order. Since then, Dragon Age II has also been kicked off, and in both cases the move was due to arrangements with how downloadable content is sold. EA has finally offered up an official explanation for why Battlefield 3 is missing from Steam, and it's the same sort of thing we've heard before.

It seems to be increasingly standard for big-budget releases to split up exclusive DLC between different retailers, and Battlefield 3 isn't about to say things should be any different. Before we get to talking up its exclusive DLC, however, you should know that everyone who pre-orders, regardless of location, will receive the Back To Karkand DLC, which includes Battlefield 2 vehicles, weapons and maps (including Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman and the Sharqi Peninsula) remade for Battlefield 3. Those who wait until launch to pick up the game, meanwhile, will have to purchase Back to Karkand separately for $14.99.
