It's an early unlock of a couple of weapons and bits of equipment. They should be released free of charge later for everyone else.

This looks amazing but on Xbox, we're obviously not going to get it in its full glory.

If you were to upgrade to PC, it'd be a pretty expensive machine to run it i'm sure. Looks like I'll just have to get the console version

Not bothered about Graphics to be honest.

I've boldened the bits where they are brining back elements of the previous games. So so glad!! Also pleased they are offering 64 player servers for PC players. Looks like BF is heading back to being a PC majority game.

I liked BC2 but it felt backwards and 'arcadey' in comparison to 2142 which relied on tactis and squad play - which is, imo, what the series is about
I keep hearing BC2 was a dumbed down version of BF. If that's the case then I am even more hopeful for BF3 as compared to other FPS games I won't mention on consoles, BC2 isn't dumbed down at all.

Oh my, this is going to be awesome - All I can hear in my head is Lt Gorman in Aliens - lay down a suppressing fire....... Can't wait to give that a go!

And prone? That's going to make sniping a real mission and a half.

It still looks rather good, doesn't it!!

Hopefully we'll see some vehicle use clips as well.

Very BC2 with the smaller maps which isnt a bad thing as BC2 is great fun

Nice to see some PR touches in there too, supression and bipods do hope they have taken some of the PR guys onboard to help out that would be brilliant!

He doesn't know how to snipe it's not the guns fault!

You get bullet drop in battlefield so aiming centre mass from a distance is going to end up with low hits and lots needed for the kill. Also aiming at people to close by means they can run fast enough to defeat the scope. Sniping in battlefield is very real, should be done at a distance and shots should be thought about! You can hit people in cover with the bullet drop so it's real good for some things!

Apparently Beta invites went out today to people who bought MOH, I did but I think I have a code in the box as I have no email.
