A few months ago, a team recreated the Battlefield 2 intro in Battlefield 3. Naturally, the team felt the need to keep it up and we are happy to report that they have recreated the Battlefield 1942 Intro in Battlefield 3. The intro was made with the help of Gamers Platoon, so kudos to them too. Great work guys and enjoy everyone! Continue reading Battlefield 1942 Intro Remade In Battlefield 3→

Two days ago, EA announced an amazing offer for all North American gamers. According to the company, those who’d pre-order Mass Effect 3 would be getting a free copy of Battlefield 3’s digital version. The only thing you had to do was add the Mass Effect 3 pre-order to your shopping cart and a code for Battlefield 3 would be emailed to you by March 8, 2012. Unfortunately – and even though EA has stated that this offer would run until March 5th – this deal is over.

There was a rumor, early last month, that the next big patch for Battlefield 3 would be hitting platforms in February. Among other things, this rumored patch would include in the PC version a Commo Rose 2.0, that is currently in development by DICE. Well, unfortunately the rumors were not true, as Daniel Matros has revealed that the patch won’t be coming this month. Continue reading Battlefield 3 – Next Major Patch won’t be coming in February→
Remember when everyone was jumping around – prior to Battlefield 3’s release – due to the fact that Commo Rose would be included in it? Oh the joy. Fast forward some months though and we can clearly see that Commo Rose is broken. Not only that, but it seems that it is there only for the sake of being there. In other words, Commo Rose is there in order to satisfy some old fans, and while it does that, it just isn’t useful in its current form. All this could very well change though, as DICE is working on an improved version of it. Continue reading Battlefield 3 – DICE is working on an improved version of Commo Rose→
That’s hilarious. A new update for the PC version of Battlefield 3 has rolled out and guess what; it comes with that awful ‘Corrupted File/Memory [9808096]’ issue that was introduced some months ago. Since this morning, a lot of PC gamers have been kicked/banned from the public servers due to that issue, while others had to manually update Punkbuster in order to play the game. And you as you may have guessed, DICE is already looking into fixing it. Continue reading Battlefield 3 PC minor update introduces Punkbuster issue, DICE is working on it→
Friday, what a lovely day, right? It’s the end of your working day, the day before weekend, the day when you can finally play your favourite game. Oh, God bless Friday. And what happens when you try to play Battlefield 3? Nothing. Nada. Why? But because Origin is down… or should I say ‘broken’ since you can’t login and even if you do, you get a lovely crash. Oh, and you won’t be able to see the games that you’ve purchased in your account. Lovely. First Ubisoft with their servers issues and now EA. Can it get any better? Continue reading Battlefield 3 fans, be advised; Origin is down, EA is looking into it→
Remember that mind-blowing RendeZook video of Battlefield 3? You know, the one that a player exits his plane in mid-air, destroys an enemy airplane with a rocket, and then re-enters it? Well, YouTube member ‘ThereIsaCanal’ went ahead and recreated that scene in real life. This is really mind-blowing and you should definitely take a look at it. Congrats ‘ThereIsaCanal’, such an amazing work mate. Enjoy everyone! Continue reading Battlefield 3 – RendeZook in real life→
