They probabaly dont really sell a regular copy anymore, just guessing though. Anyways, they have had several sales on the premium retail disc. I think the premium DLC is still at regular price, around 50. But I picked up the premium retail disc that was 40% last week from Origin for 41 bucks after tax and shipping. And I heard it was 50% off the week before. basically I just took the code out of the premium disc, applied it, but use my old launch disc, to make sure I keep all my save data and settings in tact.
Anyways, the few maps I gave played mainly aftermath have been pretty awesome.
And what is with all these trailers being pulled...anywhere else to watch it?

That looks dumb as hell, premium was a complete waste of money they are slowly turning this game into Call of Duty.
Yes. Slowly turning into CoD by adding more vehicules to the game. Yes. Makes perfect sense.
I think he maybe means it is more expensive to buy the original BF3 and then Premium DLC, then to just buy the premium retail disc outright...but I dont know.
Are you on drugs
When was the last time you drove a dirtbike into a helicopter while carrying a flag in call of duty?

smh...
These expansions are exactly what differentiate BF from CoD lol.
And so far with premium we got 15 new maps, with 4 more on the way.
4 new modes, with at least 1 more on the way.
13 new vehicles with at least 1 more on the way.
I dont even wanna bother counting the weapons and all the other stuff.
Premium was worth every penny.
Specially since I only paid 21€ for it
The most ridiculous comment I've seen in quite sometime (in regards to Call of Duty). It's up to you if you think Premium is a waste of money. For me, it hasn't been, at all.
It's difficult for an opinion to be objectively wrong, but you managed it somehow. In no way, shape or form, can you argue that Battlefield 3 is being turned into Call of Duty.
I think you may be missing the point regarding the building being destroyed idea. The point isn't the fact of the building getting destroyed, the point is the extra gameplay element it introduce, and how can it provide new elements of excitement and perspective. I'll elaborate to help.
Currently, there are small buildings (more like Huts) that gets destroy in BF3 and there are some multi-floor buildings that have parts of it crumbling (like the ones in Metro), but there aren't any multi-floor buildings that completely topples over or gets completely destroyed to the ground.
Imagine this scenario - You and your team are in the middle of town under team death match rules. Most of your opponents have taken over a large 7 floors building. Some of your team members tried to rush into the building but only a few got so far before being shot to death. Taking aim you tried shooting your opponents from the outside, but your opponent has the upper hand because (1) they are on higher grounds, and (2) the window frames and walls provide good shielding for them. To top it off, outside doesn't have much "cover" areas making you a sitting duck.
So what do you do? You and your many team members decide to grab some tanks and attempt to obliterate the foundations of the building. THe building shakes and booms, which are communication to let the player know that the building's foundations are being hit. After a while, the building starts toppling over risking everyone - including your team mates who may be inside - to be crushed once the building falls.
When the building begins to topple, the players inside the building will notice this as their viewing perspective will be altered (naturally) along with a big booming cinematic noise of something falling over (think Lords of the Rings, the section where Frodo and Aragon had to jump over a pit of lava). From that point, ALL players have approximately several seconds to either (A) jump out the windows or off the roof of the building and parachute to safety, (B) run out of the building via the exit, or (C) make their own exit using bazookas and SMAW type weapons.
Once the building hits the ground, ALL players that were inside the building will die as they will be crushed or slammed against a wall to death, and players that are in the falling path of the building from the outside will be crushed.
Now the building is toppled to the ground, players can still battle the fallen structure like BF3 Aftermath. Your opponents no longer have the higher ground advantage, but there is now a new playing area to battle on which provide new areas of advantages and disadvantages.
Hopefully you now understand. To be honest, I thought things like this would be in Aftermath and more... I wanted more innovation. Like above, the same same could apply to the earthquakes... I thought massive earthquakes would occur dynamically at ramdom and in-frequent points in the game and change your fighting surroundings, thus providing new areas to battle in. These ideas, plus the others I mentioned earlier, are innovative or at least compelling and I thought DICE would always try to add something innovative to every pack. Even a new campaign would be nice! However, all we got in every pack so far were new maps, weapons and vehicles. Quick frankly, I think that is getting stale.

There are, that's what I meant, and you get killed if you are left inside when it does. There's not many of them, i think it's just 2, but they exist.
Ofcourse nothing as elaborate as what you just said. That sounds like something that would need it's own mode.
Yeah, not sure what that guy was talking about. No way BF3 is slowly becoming CoD as the franchise was already becoming CoD when BC2 was released.
Really, I never came across them. Can you kindly let me know what map these kind of buildings are on? I wouldn't mind go hunting for them.
I don't think it needs its own mode. Something like this would go perfectly in Conquest, as it encourages or forces players to make use of the building. They just have to be watchful of all the communications in the game that indicate whether the building is getting hit or not. I believe the balance would be how many times the buildings are hit by the tanks and so on.

There's one in Caspian border in the Russian base next to the heli spawn, and in the gas station.
There's alot of them in the Rush version of Terran Highway.
They basically work the same way as in Bad Company, destroy enough walls and you get the crumbling sound and then it's completely flat in 3 seconds.
Thanks, I'll go scouting to see how it plays out. 3 seconds sounds extreme.
those types of multistory collapsible building were much more prevalent in bad company 2. Mainly because it had a lot more generic stand alone cookie cutter buildings. BF3 gas a lot more unique and larger buildings, which is harder to make them collapse technically and game design wise.
I definitely miss all the collapsible buildings from Bad Company 2. You couldn't really fight inside the rumble in most of them, as that is all it was, a pile of ruble.
But it was awesome hearing the creaking of the building and running for the nearest exit or window, jumping out as it crumbles behind you and activating your parachute.
There are only a few collapsible building in BF3 in comparison.

Noshahr canals has one also, I'm pretty sure. On the train tracks near the bridge.

they showed this instead:
I like how he's just about to roadkill his squad mate carrying the flag.
Talk about team work.
But you can't roadkill your teammate doe
To me it looked more like he was trying to do a quick pick up, Saving his teammate from the heli.

This game does DLC so right.
Conquest is Domination in CoD. CTF is... CTF

You need to pickup the flag and bring it to the base in CTF. Conquest you capture territories (that happen to have a flag)
Yeah that actually looks surprisingly great.

Last I checked BF3 still has recoil.
I don't know how BF4 is going to top BF3 in terms of content. They really have their work cut out for them.
Personally, I feel making Battlefield 4 this soon is a mistake. The engine on BF3 is good enough for them to make a 3.5 version of the game. What they, DICE, really should be concentrating on is the next Battlefield 2142, not Battlefield 4, because it will prevent cannibalizing Battlefield 3. That's but that's my opinion but to be fair we don't know much about Battlefield 4.

It's pretty clear that they're focusing on next gen consoles. BF3: The Actually Good edition doesn't have the same ring to it.

you sir and me are sharing the same opinion
Ohh yeah like in Warhawk, that was some epic stuff riding around in a jeep
Warhawk ctf is the most epic ctf I ever played
You can. Drive jeep. exit jeep. let jeep roll into teammate.Roadkill. It counts as suicide.
That's what i often see at caspian spawn when the heli pros are lining up for the heli to spawn and start killing each other with jeeps.

I still suck at playing BF3, but I love every moment of it. Haven't played much Aftermath yet.
