I read up on the Pack and in reality its all stupid shit.

I read some convo with I think a Dev and some people on Twitter about the Armor piercing rounds and Armor, he goes on to say that there's no armor and there's no magnum, then they ask the obvious question, then why is there armor piercing ammunition?

They are claiming it's because it can penetrate further and/or more than one soldier but at the cost of reduced damage.

So what's the point? You can hit more people at once and do less damage or hit 1 person with normal damage.

I feel like they didn't put much thought into this shit and it's obviously just to drive presales.

Yeah it sounds like a bunch of wank, they only way I'll be getting it day 1 is if Amazon have a good credit deal.

Lulz at the suckers who still pre-order at GS.

Today the Battlefield Blog posted an FAQ on this Physical Warfare Pack (link to blogpost)

Ha, I'm one of those suckers who pre-ordered at GS out of excitement That and because the girl at GS was nice enough to allow me to take some penny guides without any issues. I'm going to keep my pre-order but cancel my Mass Effect 3 L.E. at the other GS I go to. Question: will it negatively affect that individual who you pre-ordered a game with?

EDIT: Is anyone else having issues loading CAG with Firefox 3.x?

I just paid the thing off and pre-ordered because I'm excited for the game. If I get weapons, hey, cool.

People are throwing an ABSOLUTE shitfit over the pre-order crap, though. Erryone needs to calm down.

I'll gladly be a "sucker" if GS will give me $35 for a game I paid $14 for, and $19 for a game I got for free, in turn effectively allowing me to spend roughly $25 ($14 for original game, $16 for leftover cost after credit) for a day 1 copy of BF3.

That being said, I have yet to officially preorder the game anywhere. Still waiting to see if any other retailers have "exclusive" preorder bonuses -- but considering all the so-called "exclusive" preorder DLC is being released on XBLM shortly after a game comes out anyway, it's not really worth it anymore. Basically, just pick your preferred retailer (mine being Gamestop for this game, so far, especially since it's on the way home from work) and go with it. Bashing everyone else's choices do nothing but make you look like a ing wannabe elitist tool.

Who cares about some guns you won't use and ammo you won't use. The whole reason to pre-order/get it early on is for the Back to Karkland pack and nothing else

I have to admit that I'm surprised how people are bein pissy about the Physical Warfare pack. Doesn't seem to be an overpowering pack.

I think it was just that they intentionally left out a gun and a few items to make them pre-order bonuses. Not likely the people would use the gun anyway, it's just the fact of the matter that people like complaining about things.

Granted, I've already pre-ordered the thing and paid it off so I'm only looking at it from my perspective.

If it's anything like the last BFBC's, they are just early unlocks anyways.

I'm pretty sure the Back to Karkand pack will be included with all launch copies of the game, not just for preorders. Seems to be how all recent EA releases have been.

Thats what I think as well, that's why they're having to come up with this pack so they have something to differentiate pre-orders with new game purchases.

PS3 Footage from Jimmy Fallon last night. Looks damn good. Obviously not as good as the PC but still damn good

Ah, I had forgotten all about it. I agree, it's not as polished as the PC version but that will be forgiven if the gameplay blows us out of the water. I just want to see more gameplay of the multiplayer aspect of this game; the concept art look amazing.

You know I don't remember reading how many maps will be playable at launch...

is there a specific date for the beta in september yet?

and is moh required to access the beta?

No, and I'm pretty sure it's a public beta.

The beta will be open to those with MoH and if you preordered at gamestop, likely. (not confirmed yet)

Open beta was being thrown around by Dice at e3 so take it for what you will

some pretty big news. Assaults now have medkits and the medics of old are now support with lmg and ammo boxes.

Well shit, man, I always play a Medic type. Always liked the LMGs as well.

Oh well, Assault I go, i guess. Wonder if BF3 will be filled with snipers like always again, especially now that prone is an option.

Horrible idea, I used assualt most of the because of running out of ammo. LMGs on BC2 were way over powered/ accurate. I could out snipe snipers with a 4x scope. Throw in unlimitted ammo it's going to be a huge pain. That's all anyone will use.
