EA "Says Thanks" Sweepstakes
EA is having a sweepstakes event this weekend from Nov 11th 12:01am GMT to Nov 13th 11:59pm GMT. All you need to do is log into multiplayer once each day to be entered into the sweepstakes. This is for all BF3 platforms and only Canada (excluding Quebec) France, Germany, United Kingdom, and United States (excluding Florida and New York and including the District of Columbia) and who are at least 18 years old when entering the Promotion.

The prizes you ask? Those randomly choosen winners will receive:

1st
1 winner will receive a round trip to Stockholm, Sweden to visit the DICE production studio for winner plus three guests. You and 3 guests will get free round trip flight from the winner's nearest airport, 4 day/3 night hotel, and $1000 in spending money each. But don't go too crazy because all taxes and fees plus additional charges you incur, will be paid by you. But hey, with $1k each, it shouldn't be a problem right?

Total value around USD $15,000 (€10910).

2nd
1 winner will receive a check for USD $5,000 (€3640) or equivalent currency

3rd
1 winner will receive a gaming system of their choice – Xbox 360 250GB, PlayStation 3 250GB, or Alienware Aurora PC with a collection of Battlefield videogames.

Total value around $1,650 (€1200).

So everyone, be sure to log into multiplayer at least once Fri, Sat, and Sun this weekend. Drawing will be done on or around Dec 5, 2011 and will be notified by mail, email or phone. You'll then need to fill out and send an Affidavit within 10 days. Here's something funny, "Canadian resident he/she will be required to answer a time limited skill testing question without assistance", what? If you fail to respond another winner will be randomly selected from all remaining entries.

Here is EA's article and the fine print

Updates
A member of the community has posted a script for Google Chrome, that allows you to upload an image or animated at that for your platoon Emblem.

There has been a lot of updates this week in battlelog now offereing more filters to get the game play you want, server sorting to even out the usages between all servers, IE ping issues, Punkbuster update, terrain deformation has been brought back from beta (but not as significant as it was), and flashlights have been toned down (some believe a little too much).

Karkand
On top of that, Back to Karkand expansion pack is just but a month away. Heres a clip by EA showing a little bit of (think 1st day of christmas) 10 new weapons, 4 remastered maps, 3 new vehicles, and a new game type mode. Also they have modified the destruction system in giving better levels of and visuals.


Here are some more footages from Gamespot showing parts of Karkand and Oman.


Some images to look at or used as wallpaper or even a signature. The first one would be good for a sig.

RIGHT LOL

I remember Karkand (crackland) , and Oman from Battlefield P4F.

I agree I would get the PC.

Might be off topic but: BF4 was apparently confirmed

Well that may be true. I've seen ramblings here and there about it. I mean, EA started making BF3 back in 2007 from what I read; 2 years after BF3. They probably put it on the back burner to jump in on the console profits.

Hopefully the PC's will show EA that there is still a profit to be made on this platform and will stick to make pure PC games as and less "console-ish" designs.

for consul, will the pack just show up in the playstation whats new area or will it just download

For the PS3 or Xbox 360 when it comes out it will notify you when you start up the game so you can just go to the in game store and download it and then play.
