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.

So this is good... Now just actually beat their slow release dates ;)

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 :)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
