Battlefield PREMIUM (most likely a ONE TIME FEE)

-20 new maps (across all 5 DLCs)
-20 new weapons (across all 5 DLCs)
-More than 10 new vehicles (across all 5 DLCs)
-More than 4 new game modes (across all 5 DLCs)
-More than 30 new Assignments (across all 5 DLCs)
-More than 20 new Dog Tags (across all 5 DLCs)

World premier: 4.6.2012 at 1:00 PM (PST) / 9:00 PM (UTC) - @ E3 Press Event

Two different packages (both include earlier access to DLCs)

Package 1 - BF Premium + B2K
Package 2 - BF Premium + All DLCs

If this is the premium package, then we've already seen the Back To Karkand Maps so now we're down to the 3 already announced DLC (Close Quarters, Armored Kill and End Game) as well as the unnamed alleged 4th.

Also, we've already seen 10 of the 20 new weapons, 4 of the 20 new maps, 3 of the 10 new vehicles, 1 of the 4 new game modes, 10 of the 30 new assignments if this is all true.

Who knows what the fee will be but knowing how much you guys dig BF3, it might be a small price to pay to get more enjoyment out of this game.

This is huge and should be more than worth it. Its pretty much a given that another major Battlefield won't be released until another couple years or so. I will definitely be playing it up until then. Who needs COD :yao:

The last few times I've tried to play have been awful. Where are just the regular rules servers? All of these custom servers suck.

You should be able to find the official DICE servers if you search "DICE". Just make sure it's owned by DICE as there are some custom servers that put DICE in the title to draw players.

If you just want the default ticket counts, "normal setting" or "normal" would probably work in the search bar.

 

[JOHNNYTHECLOWN]

i'll finally get all the DLC ... like buying a brand new game at that point

 

[kyhadley]

Excited to try out the SCAR and AUG, a couple of my MW2 favorites.

 

[JayDizzle]

Now to either wait until the 4th to see what's-what with that Premium subscription or just splurge it all on the 1st for Close Quarters...

I'd rather just pay for the rest of the DLCs in one go if possible.

The truth about Randoms owning servers, in all it's majestic glory.

I read that the Premium is rumored at $60. Not sure how I feel about that price. Especially if I get the CQ maps when they come out.

Not sure what comes with that but I doubt I get it with ncaa/madden around the corner

That's not much of a deal for anyone who already has B2K.

 

[JayDizzle]

At $15 a pop for all the pieces of DLC (especially if you're getting the supposed "Aftermath" (or whatever it's going to be called, if it exists) as well), you're paying for 4 bits instead of all 5.

While I will agree that Padman's right that the Premium DLC doesn't help those with the B2K maps already, it does shore up nicely for those who've invested a lot of time into BF3 so far.

My only concern is when COD and MOH hit later on in the year and people start tapering off to play the next big new shooter.

I'll be around later on tonight for the Game Night. Just a forewarning that I haven't touched this game in about 4 months so I'm not sure how effective I'll be, but we'll see how things go. How many guys we usually have showing up for these GN's?

 

[Trmszczykowski]

Occasionally it's: Jay, Padman, Twigg, Kyhadley, Brink, Wookie, JTC, Shogun, and myself.

[JayDizzle]

Server's up.

"VSN/VSD Game Night Server"

It's open server so you will run into randoms before everyone hops on.

I'll try to spice up the maps by putting up an unusual list (Noshhar Squad Rush, etc.) and no Op Meatro.

 

[Twigg4075]

Getting on now.

 

[SHOGUN]

We finally have enough to play. :longo:

Shit was full before I decided to fiddle with the maps... :shifty:

I'll switch to "Epic Battles" or "Urban Warfare" if nobody'll join
