Check out this gameplay trailer from Dice's reimagined version of Gulf of Oman. Like in previous Back to Karkand trailers, you can see some of the new vehicles in action here. The three combat vehicles that we are bringing back from Battlefield 2 in Back to Karkand are the STOVL fighter jet, desert buggy, and one of the APC’s.

"I wanted to complement what we already have in the base game, plus I wanted to bring back some of the classic vehicles from Battlefield 2 that we know players loved, such as the Short Take-Off/Vertical Landing fighter jet and the desert buggy. In today’s trailer, you can also get a first glimpse of a hitherto unannounced fourth vehicle bound to strike fear into the very hearts of the enemy. See if you can spot it!", said Back to Karkand Lead Designer Niklas Fegraeus.

Come back later for more details on Back to Karkand. We have more videos coming your way, and more details on the new Back to Karkand weapons that you can bring back to the base game.

Battlefield 3 open beta is six times larger than the previous Battlefield beta: 2010's Bad Company 2's open beta, to some this was to be expected as a majority of the Battlefield fan base have waited for a long time for the Battlefield 2 sequel.

Karl Magnus Troedsson also gave us further insight into the beta  saying "The beta players are playing with early game code, which is over a month old since DICE had to submit it to validation at Microsoft and Sony. The main purpose of the beta is to stress test the game servers."

Many will be hoping that many if not all of the issues that are currently cirulating the battlelog forums will be addressed before the retail version of BF3 is released. Here is a list of the top 10 issues.

Here we have what we have all been waiting for, Video footage from 2 more maps from Battlefield 3, Grand Bazaar, which is a tight, infantry focused urban map and Operation Firestorm, which is they say a "classic old Battlefield map" at this point it seems this is one of the largest maps of Battlefield 3 with 6 control points we sould see some hugh conquest battles but also there are some more covered areas for some pure infantry action.

So sit back and enjoy the full videos with commentry by Alex Grondal and Patrick Bach producer from BF3 at Dice

The latest Full length game play video/ TV Ad from Battlefield 3 shows off some never before seen footage of BF3 and features the hit song "99 Problems" by Jay-Z.
Not only does the video show off Battlefield 3 to look superior in many ways to Call of Duty at the end of the video there is a slap to the face aimed at the rival franchise, "Above and Beyond the Call".
With Frostbite 2's destruction engine and the implementation of vehicles with conquest mode, there is no doubt that Battlefield 3 will rize above.

See you on the Battlefield soldiers :)

Yes people, the date we have all been waiting for has finally been revealed, with the BF3 open beta scheduled for the end of the month. You just need to check out the official EA BF3 Beta section on the 29th September to sign up and download the Beta. Unfortunately for those of you who have played the Alpha you will not be seeing a new map or game mode for the Beta as it is still going to be on the Operation Metro map, and support the Rush mode only.

You will have approximately 12 days to play the Beta as it ends on October 10 and for those of you who are looking to play BF3 competitively, our sources at The ESL ensure us that there are going to be day cups throughout the Beta.
Issues surrounding the limits on the number of soldiers and soldier names have also been raised in which only one soldier and name are allowed to be created per account.
