So let me get this straight, the Return to Kirkland maps will be like BC2 Vietnam - basically a separate game? They won't just be extra maps in the rotation?

We do know that you can use the Back to Karkand weapons on regular maps.

I just got some Return to Kirkland undershirts! They came with my pre-order of 3 giant bags of doritos.

@Thylander@Twigzer Is there anyway to get these without playing co-op?
3 hours ago
Fredrik Thylander @Thylander Fredrik Thylander @smasht_au No, but they've been carefully selected to make sure there are other, similar, pieces of equipment available through pure MP.
possibly explains why some stuff in the beta wasn't unlockable even though it was in the unlock trees
edit: co-op unlocks own. I want to be set apart from the lone wolves because I have bros.

I am really impressed at the amount of stuff unlockable for BF3. I know it will give me more reason to play it. I am hoping the retooling they did to the unlocks means you unlock the best, game-changing stuff early on and the later unlocks are purely cosmetic. Also, I really hope the unlocks keep going until the level cap. It sucked that in BC2 you unlock nothing for the last 30ish levels.
theres a new origin client in the wild, says required for bf3
This probably won't happen, but it is funny to think about:
On launch day of BF3, EA will release a new origin client with a revised TOS that allows them access to our souls. No one will read it because they are still on that "new-game" high.
"Wait" he says... do I look like a waiter?

Wait. WHAT? Where did you hear this?
And we've pretty much known the Karkand expansion was being treated like BC2:Vietnam. There's no other way to handle it really. People will have to pay for it after launch, so you can't include it with vanilla BF3 maps, otherwise you run into the problem of people being kicked from servers for lacking that content. Plus there are different weapons and vehicles for that expansion, so it would be pretty jarring having your loadout change COMPLETELY between maps.

its looking a lot like the back to karkand maps might just be in the standard playlist, as they seem to be of the same style, unlike vietnam where its a different era. Even more so if the weapons bleed across modes. ALSO SO MANY THINGS TO UNLOCK. Also you wont get kicked if you have the special edition of the game. They arent selling normal editions yet anywhere.

That's a terrible way to handle it. No matter what you do, you're splitting the community when some will have content that others won't. Why make it even more cumbersome by having a completely different client/front-end for it? Apparently, the weapons can be used anywhere, so letting the maps into normal rotations is fine.
Being kicked off a server because you don't own the map is a fantastic strategy to encourage players to buy those maps. All they really need do is include a filter for "content you don't own," and those servers won't show up if that's what you want.
You know, is it just me, or are we still in the dark about a lot of things?
It's 1 week till release!
Karkand Pack isn't coming at release. We don't know when it's coming, but maybe they're saving it till November to steal some of COD's thunder.
And kicking people from servers because they don't own certain maps is a fantastic way of encouraging server owners to NOT run those maps. God I hate DLC map packs :x
Review outlets still have not received review copies, and won't receive them until after release. Related, I work at a Gamestop and we haven't received our shipment yet. This is quite uncommon, especially for such a big release.

Yeah I hate the map pack idea as well. Using map packs in a regular map rotation on a BF2 server was the quickest way to kill a server. The only way they really worked was to only use the map pack levels in the rotation and nothing vanilla. I hope they at least include a filter in battlelog so that servers with map packs you don't have don't show up or are marked as such when you try to join.

It worries me.
It's purely because DICE is dropping a patch on Day 1 and thus the game will not be reviewed properly until it drops. You won't have an accurate idea of how the game plays until it is patched.
so if this launches at midnight PST, I'll def. be waking up early on Tuesday mornin' to play. what are ya'll gonna eat?
