A New FREE service coming from EA to compete with Activisions Subscription based Elite

Of course there are things we will not be showing at E3, including the game’s extensive co-op campaign, the introduction of Team Death Match mode and the Battlefield 3 Battlelog web destination – featuring powerful social tools, feeds and detailed player stats. Battlelog also lets you manage your friends lists, squad up, create platoons, use voice chat and follow your friends’ progress in real-time, and more. Battlelog will be available for the monthly fee of (drum roll)... zero dollars. We look forward to providing more information on these features in the near future!...

and with that Battlefield 3 has won (not sales wise but everything else it has won)

[wwm0nkey]

Hopefully I am wrong about the sales part though

[Yi-Long]

... Activision and Bobby can rot in hell with their greed.

"of course there are things we will not be showing at E3, including the game’s extensive co-op campaign"

co-op campaign? What? Have I been living under a rock or something? This will be awsome!!

" the introduction of Team Death Match mode"

Who needs cod then?

[RedDead]

Yeah what the hell..first I head about it. I was looking forward to multi only, now Co op and the Single player looks quality

[jizzyjones]

Free BattleLog, Free Dlc, and the game itself will be 5 quid cheaper at launch than MW3 an people wonder why all the COD hate.

[Lylat_64]

As long as the DLC is actually DLC unlike the BFBC2 crap.

[Mystickay86]

BF3 knows how to please their fans. Can't wait for this game.

Bobby Kotick smells like broccoli and poop.

[Caleb_141]

I like broccoli... so he only smells like poop to me.

[Chocoboh]

Buy PC version day 1 and don't even look back to CoD I can guarantee you won't regret it. Just trust me on this one.

[Fishy Fingers]

I'm getting both and cant wait, but not really interested in any of this stuff, I just tend to load it up, play and turn it off. OG gamer :)

[hiredhelp]

Right back at you bobby, dont forget free deadicated servers too. Oooohhh stump up bobby or shut up.

[zero_gamer]

Still, just watch all the brainwashed sheep falling for CoD's subscription model saying it's the greatest thing that ever happened to video games in a long time. We're at the point of the game having better quality = lesser sales. This generation of gaming is falling apart like a wet paper bag.

[Libertheme]

Saw this coming.

[Ser]

How can anyone defend CoD's Elite service now?

Well played, EA, well played indeed.

[AKissFromDaddy]

Battlefield 3 has completely, utterly won.......in ever category, except we don't know the story but just give to DICE anyways, lol

Flawless victory, ahahaa

Battlefield 3 Battlelog web destination – featuring powerful social tools, feeds and detailed player stats. Battlelog also lets you manage your friends lists, squad up, create platoons, use voice chat and follow your friends’ progress in real-time, and more. Battlelog will be available for the monthly fee of (drum roll)... zero dollars.

Update: I love Team Deathmatch but I hope Squad Deatchmatch comes too.

[AKissFromDaddy]

EA is trying to shut down Activision, lol

I'm REALLY EXCITED.....I'M SO HAPPY, LOL

[Ninver]

EA is fighting our war for us. This guarantees their victory.

[I_C_PEE]

Like i said before. EA dont use vaseline. BF3 on my 360 day 1.

[Optical_Matrix]

EA are gunning for Activision. Infinity Ward say theres no Co-op campaign in MW3, DICE then comes along and reveals they have extensive co-op Campaign in BF3. And after Activision was ranting and raving about CoD Elite and the Premium service it will entail, we find out that EA/DICE is bringing a similar service, for free. No doubt Free DLC will also be on the cards.

[Ser]

Well, BF3 is already getting 4 free maps. All you've gotta do is pre-order, and that doesn't cost the consumer anything but a deposit.

[yamzilla]

pc version of BF3 for me, if I was not so against it, i would pirate the sh!t out of mw3, but, we gotta retain some principles ... I have yet to pirate anything, music, games, movies, I believe in paying an artist for his/her work....but i won't pay Acti for what is another expansion pack, same engine, same guns/perks practically, same map layouts with new skins...nope, if they were honest and said hey, this is a mw2 add-on, and it's 29.99, i'd bite, but full price...... pass!!

Cod games all look 6 years old to me!

i am just going to try to get all my peeps to buy bf3 and NOT but mw3!

[ATiElite]

All my peeps play BF2, BC2, Arma II, Red Orchestra. If you play MW2 or BO your not peeps!

[ATiElite]

Most if not all of these features were already free with BF2. Except the following a friend in real-time. That was free too but only certain servers allowed it.

Anyway just get Battlefield 3 day one and you'll be more than happy. Sure it will be tough for some of you who will have the urge to buy COD but just call 1-800-NoMo-COD and they counsel you and help you to Quit making that "bad COD decision".

Battlefield since 1942!

[AllroundGamer]

that was such a great jab at Elite :DD they should make such news every month so the Elite douchebags who bought it would feel even more stupid :D
