14 DAY TRIAL // Video game developer DICE and publisher Electronic Arts have announced the pre-order bonuses that will be offered to the players who are ready to put down money now in order to get Battlefield 3 on launch day.
All those who pre-order the game, regardless of the channel used to do this, will get the Back to Karkaland digital expansion for free.
It will include four of the best maps for Battlefield 3, all of them re-created using the new Frostbite 2 game engine and its destruction focused tech.
The price for the expansion for those who do not pre-order the game will be set at 14.99 dollars.
In addition to that, DICE is offering other bonuses:
- the Physical Warfare pack: includes three exclusive weapons: the Type 88 light machine bung with bipod, for suppression and fire support; the SKS sniper rifle flash suppressor, which makes it easier for the Recon class to get kills; the flechette ammunition for the DAO-12 semi-automatic shotgun.
- SPECACT kit offers increased customization options via eight new skins for all the classes in Battlefield 3.
- Dog Tag pack – includes five unique dog tags that can show the identity and the gameplay record of the player.
Electronic Arts has not yet said exactly which bonuses for pre-ordering will be linked to which retailers.
Battlefield 3 is the most ambitious of the video games that DICE has so far created and aims to offer both a complex and layered single-player campaign and the signature multiplayer modes that the developer is known for.
The big draw of the game is the new Frostbite 2 engine, which has impressed all those who have seen the game until now with its attention to detail and its commitment to realism.
Battlefield 3 launches on the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the PC on October 25 in the United States and three days later in Europe.
