The heat of the battle intensified today as DICE announced two editions of Battlefield 3 and the unique pre-order items available at participating retailers in UK. Soldiers and squads looking to claim battlefield superiority this Oct. 28, 2011 have an exciting array of options available when pre-ordering Battlefield 3 from select retailers.
Battlefield 3 Standard Edition
In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines. As the first boots on the ground, players experience heart-pounding missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York City. In the field, periods of tension and anticipation are punctuated by moments of complete chaos. As bullets whiz by, as walls crumble, as explosions force players to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. To complement the single-player campaign, Battlefield 3 delivers 10 massive co-op maps and multiple multiplayer modes – a proven strength of DICE.
Battlefield 3 Limited Edition
Gamers who pre-order Battlefield 3 are assured a copy of the Limited Edition, which includes the deep and immersive Back to Karkand post-launch digital expansion pack at no extra charge. With Back to Karkand, players can wage all-out war on four of the most celebrated maps from Battlefield 2™ including Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman and the Sharqi Peninsula, all stunningly re-created using the power of Frostbite 2.
Select retailers are also offering Battlefield 3 pre-order customers the following promotional items:
Physical Warfare Pack
Storm the battlefield armed with a set of three exclusive weapons in the Physical Warfare Pack including: the Type 88 light machine gun with bipod for deadly firepower and total zone control; the SKS sniper rifle flash suppressor that provides increased stealth abilities for Recon soldiers; and the lethal armor-piercing flechette ammo for the DAO-12 semi-automatic shotgun that will tear through anything in its path. Each weapon will be available for a limited time in-game, and will later become available to all players.
SPECACT Kit
Players can expand their customizable options in Battlefield 3 with a set of eight unique multiplayer skins, one for each class in Battlefield 3.
Dog Tag Pack
In Battlefield 3, dog tags serve as the player’s in-game signature, allowing gamers to customize their soldiers. Dog tags are displayed on screen every time a player takes down an enemy or claims an opponent’s dog tags. This pre-order exclusive item comes with five new, unique dog tags.
