I'm guessing that as it's in the "main" section of the trailer, it'll be one of the launch maps; either Noshahr Canals or Kharg Island - http://blogs.battlef...al-part-ii.aspx

Ah, I see. I was hoping they'd release a trailer for the Back to Karkand maps.

Does anyone know any info regarding preloading on origin when it'll start and/or for whom etc ?

You can only pre-load it if you pre-ordered/activated it on Origin before the 25th.

Get into the fight first with Origin! Pre-load starts 10/21/11!

21st at 7pm pacific standard. It's been posted about 5 times over the last 2 pages.

The game will officially unlock as the clock strikes midnight (also pacific standard time) on the 25th for those that have pre ordered.

Why pacific standard? Because EA is in that time zone and they run the authentication servers.

When is this actually coming out in UK for PS3? i keep seeing 25th but also 28th.

i want it NAAOOOOOWWWWW!

Usually games are released on Tuesdays here in the US and the following Thursday or Friday in the EU. I'm sure some one else can answer better. Although if you get the pc version I don't think it matters.

Just make an account for the time being :D

And that's okay, I'll pass. I despise twitter.

Origin respects the retail dates. so 25th is US only..unless you bypass the region lock by VPN or smth :shiftyninja:

All major releases are Friday in the UK so the 28th. Maybe so we can not skip work when games are released :)

Anyone else not had the pre-load email? I'm getting slightly worried!

What pre-load email? I got one from amazon but keys won't be sent out until the 25th from what I've gathered. I guess it just depends on where you ordered from.

If you ordered from origin I assume you won't even need to add a key to anything.

Is what several people have had across several forums I go to. I've had nothing. Consider me worried!

This thread has 25x more views then the MW3 thread.

While I am mature enough to not say it will be 25 times better I do think the gameplay will be and always has been better than MW. Most of my MW discs go to a mates son after a few weeks but I still have all my BF discs :)

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
