Years worth of unlocks and rewards in Battlefield 3

Today battlefield blog posted another post on rewards and unlocks in Battlefield 3. I was too busy to rewrite it myself so Im giving you a sneak peek of the article then you can click on the link under it and you will be directed to the rest. Thanks for reading.

Battlefield players are among the most loyal out there. Our games are literally played for years by our hardcore fans, and we want to actively support that. There should always be something left to achieve in Battlefield 3.

Valerian Noghin and Fredrik Thylander are Persistence Designers on Battlefield 3. They’re the guys making sure you will have as much fun with the game in 2013 as on launch day.

Back in 2005, Battlefield 2 was one of the first shooters to introduce a deep persistence system to add that extra layer of tasty rewards and unlocks to keep players returning to the battlefield for hundreds of hours. With Battlefield 3, we are pulling all the stops. Compared to Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3 will have more than 10 times the hardware unlocks spread over weapons, weapons attachments, gadgets, and a huge unlock tree for vehicles alone.

Skill and dedication equal rewardsOn top of these ingame hardware items, players will also be richly rewarded with medals, ribbons and service stars displaying their skill, commitment, and teamplay prowess. You will be rewarded handsomely in Battlefield 3 for exemplary skill, such as capturing X amount of bases in one round. Excellent teamplayers who keep the team’s vehicles in mint condition and revive fallen comrades will not go unnoticed either. These type of skill-driven rewards are typically handed out in the form of ribbons, and good players can often get more than one ribbon in a single round.

From top left to bottom right: Assault Rifle Ribbon (7 assault rifle kills in a round), Nemesis Ribbon (2 nemesis kills), MVP Ribbon (be the best player in a round), Ace Squad Ribbon (be part of the best squad in a round), Medical Efficiency Ribbon (5 revives in a round), and finally the Air Warfare Ribbon (6 air kills in a round).

Winning a round for the team should always be the priority, so we are making sure that even when players are chasing their personal achievements, they are contributing to the overall battle. You will also be rewarded for true dedication and commitment, such as playing x amount of hours as a U.S. soldier. These honors come in the form of the much harder to get medals. They are typically given at specific milestones in your career.

There are a large number of ranks in Battlefield 3, similar to Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Your rank badge is a quick measure of your overall progress in the game. And even if you hit the max rank, there is always more glory to strive for with the new concept of Service Stars that we are introducing in Battlefield 3.

How to get the Battlefield 3 Beta 48 hours early

There has been lots of talk on the Battlefield 3 Beta. Also there have been lots of talk about how to get the Battlefield 3 Beta 48 hours early. And today we will show you two ways on how to do this. 

Now lets talk about the first way which if you havent done this already is useless. You have to have bought the Medal of Honor Limited Edition. You will receive the beta through either the MOH Store or E-mail. Now that way is only for people who purchased MOH long ago, in this way, everybody can do this. Now the second way is simple, you have to pre-order Battlefield 3 through origin (EA's new way of downloading games online). But the problem with this is it is through PC so only PC players can do it this way. Now console players that didn't get MOH Limited Edition are asking "Why only PC players?". Well Battlefield 3 will be an open beta, so after the early 48 hours everyone will be able to play the beta. So if you don't meet either of these ways then that means you will just have to wait 48 more hours.

PS3 Off-Screen Video and image of Battlefield 3 Released

      A Italian Gaming website, Videogame.it,  was lucky enough to visit the DICE office in Stockholm, Sweden. Their article shows some very nice balcony shots of the DICE studio, but more interesting a off-screen picture of Operation Metro on the Playstation 3. This is the first off-screen shot we’ve seen of multiplayer on the console. The only other off-screen gameplay we have see is single player on Late night with Jimmy Fallon. Though the recent uproar about console versions being dumbed down, just from this picture it looks as though the PS3 version will still be an amazing game with intense graphics. The Interface is the same as the PC version. Hopefully this is a sign that in the weeks to come we will be seeing much more pictures and maybe even video of the console version.
