Battlefield 3

[padman59]

Will do ha. Which store has the best to offer for the preorder?

All pre-orders should come with the Back to Karkand expansion, but here's the breakdown between the other stores offering other bonuses from an earlier post:

Gamestop Battlefield 3 pre-order
GameStop’s pre-order includes the Physical Warfare pack, in addition to the Back To Karkand DLC. If you are part of their PowerUp Rewards, you’ll get a free Prima Battlefield 3 strategy guide as well.

Amazon Battlefield 3 pre-order
If you pre-order on Amazon, you’ll receive an exclusive set of dog tags for multiplayer. On top of that, the pre-order includes the Back To Karkand expansion pack.

Best Buy Battlefield 3 pre-order
Best Buy offers the same Limited Edition version with Back To Karkand, plus a set of new multiplayer skins — the SPECACT Kit. You’ll receive a code to unlock 8 new multiplayer skins when the game is released.

Also note that the Physical Warfare Pack offered from GameStop will be free DLC for everyone eventually, and no one has offered a gift card yet either.

Go to Amazon or KMart. Gamestop has a few additional worthless upgrades, but not enough to support that shitty company.

As of right now, I'd hold off on planning to get it from K-Mart unless you have some gaming coupons that you need to unload since their copies won't have a voucher for the Back to Karkand maps/weapons ($15 value IIRC) and no additional coupon is listed on CAG.

Most of that footage was from the MP portion.

Was it?

I'm not really used to the BF3 MP screens.

So which one do you think is the better "deal"?

I'm out of the loop jay. I am sorry. <3

I would get it from Gamestop, Rylo.

Preorder it from there, get your free map pack and free weapons early to boot.

I still want to know what the deal is with the free Prima guide. is it the legit guide or some bullshit "pocket guide"?

I would have to assume it's this:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-Prima-Official-Game-Guide/dp/0307890481"]http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-Prima-Official-Game-Guide/dp/0307890481[/ame]

*Dominate all online multiplayer maps with strategies from the pros!
*Teamwork tactics to make your squad an effective combat unit!
*Labeled multiplayer maps with waypoint, vehicle and fixed turret locations!
*Choose the right tools for every job with breakdowns of all classes and weapons!
*Step-by-step walkthrough to assist you and your fellow Marines survive missions in the USA, Middle East, and Europe.

I know it doesn't come through Amazon but this should be it when the game comes out.

Yeah. You can see the squad indicator in the bottom-left corner of a lot of those clips.

[Rylo]

Most likely going with gamestop then.

I'm going to be spending so much money on video games in the next couples weeks-month lol.

[CCBrink]

Fuck Gamestop. I'm getting it from Best Buy

[EmpireWF]

Fuck all that, getting it from newegg for less.

What I think of the Prima Guide:

...you could actually place three Atacama Deserts -- one of the largest maps from Battlefield: Bad Company 2 -- within the playable area of Operation Firestorm.
