    You know I was looking forward to BF3 for the past few months.
    I seriously considered preordering to get the back to Karkand pre order bonus maps.
    I thought the open beta announced at E3 was an incredibly good move to convince people this game is worth buying.

    now im just going to talk with my money, no thanks EA I will spend my 40-50-60€ or how ever much the game would have cost on something else ( not mw3 ) and in future avoid the whole EA brand. :P

    Who cares, its great to get some more guns. I am happy about it.

    If I buy it from here will I get it or is it only shipped to the UK?

    From some reports, Scandinavia gets a set of 8 extra SpecTact skins, and Greece gets 5 extra personally customized dogtags. The first may be a re-use of the advertising spiel from BC2, but the Greek one looks valid.

    I can't abide this and I'm surprised at DICE, although not at EA. Sad fact is I know I'll end up buying the game regardless.

    DICE has little or no say in it pretty much, EA pays the bills

    If you pre-order it anywhere you'll get Back to Karkand. If you pre-order it at the correct retailer you'll get the PWP. It'll be ordered as a single item. indeed, the PWP can't be bought otherwise.

    Dice will apparently make some sort of statement tomorrow:

    Does it really matter that much if you have a couple more or less generic guns/character skins/dogtags? It's reasonable to assume there will probably be 4+ other LMGs and shotguns to choose from. For example, if you lost access to the type 88 LMG from BC2 would it even matter? Consider the number of alternative LMGs and their overlapping performance..

    The map packs are a different story as they'll fragment the servers even more along with the likes of TDM, rush, hardcore and whatever other modes they include. Any copy bought in the first few months will probably include the Back to Karkand DLC though.

    If anything the boycott should be over the abundance of BC2 features that seem to have crept into BF3 :p No 3D spotting/health regen/spawning on everyone please

    It's not possible to get PWP without Karkand.

    You can't but them separately. Karkand will be available separately eventually, but probably not until a month after the main release. PWP can never be bought separately.

    You're not getting any more of anything. They're taking something out of the game that was already in it, and then offering it back to people who pre-order at a certain store.

    Was going to pre-order on Steam. Now... I don't know. Probably wait and see what retailer gives it out the cheapest?

    Yeah. As disgusted as I am at EA for this move I'll be getting it anyway... Probably with the Physical Bull**** Pack as well. The only reason? Its this or Modern Warfare... :rolleyes:

    Yup, I'm another hypocrite who hates this and pre-ordered my PWP edition too. At least it's better than useless skins or tags.

    You can cancel pre-orders.

    That was surprisingly quick and easy. I had online chat with one of EA's agents through their online support thingy. Told him I wanted to cancel in order to get the physical warfare pack from a different distributor and they canceled the order straight away.

    In store with Game. They gave me a free poster, and free is always good.

    and from there:
    We will unlock the contents of the Physical Warfare Pack for free to all Battlefield 3 players later this year.

    So let this be a lesson: fanboy frothing and whining does work.


    Also Karkand isn't on the disc, day 1 DLC style crap that so many others have done, it's actually separate.

    I also got the impression that it wasn't going to be available immediately on release day but no specified time was given.
