Battlefield 3 to get CoD Elite-like service called Battlefield Premium

According to rumors swirling around the web these days, EA is looking to release a service similar to Call of Duty Elite. BF3Blog first reported on the possibility of this back in February, and now it appears that the rumors are true. The service, called “Battlefield Premium”, would work much like CoD Elite, where players pay a subscription fee or a one-time fee, and get “content drops” in return. As a leaked description of the service says:

“Battlefield™ Premium will land you a number of content drops with unique in-game items not available anywhere else. First out is the one-of-a-kind Premium knife and black dog tag, plus a set of soldier camos, weapon camos, dog tags and Assignments that will make sure you stand out and get more personalization options.”

The new service is rumored to be unveiled at E3 2012 in the beginning of June. While the service sounds very similar to what Call of Duty has, this wouldn’t be the first time a Battlefield game gets this kind of DLC: Bad Company 2′s “Specact Kit”, offered players new player and weapon camouflage for $5.

The reveal trailer for Black Ops 2 has been unleashed and things are looking pretty impressive.

The new trailer has been revealed today for developers Treyarch‘s next venture: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. The trailer, which hit YouTube before the Basketball playoffs on TNT, gives a crucial insight into the game’s basic structure and shows fans exactly what to expect when the game releases in November.

Over the past few weeks, more and more information has slowly been released, giving hints and teasers towards what the next installment could feature.  Alongside that, many rumours have begun leaking out about what the game would officially be titled and what would be included within the game. However, the reveal trailer and the website are the first time that Treyarch have officially acknowledged the game’s existence and since announcing it last week, small viral trailers have been leading up to the big video release last night.

Server patch tomorrow – 20th April

The latest game server update has completed internal QA, and has been sent out to all the RSP companies. They are doing small-scale testing of it during the evening.

If no problems are reported by the RSPs, then the companies will gradually roll it out over the next few days, starting at 10:00 UTC on Thursday Apr 19th.

This update is addressing some gameplay bugs that have been reported since the latest big client+server update. Also, there are some minor improvements to the RCON interface.

The master servers will remain available; Battlelog will remain available.

Changelist
* Fixed AA missiles not doing damage to vehicles moving at very high speeds (This is the much wanted heatseaker fix)
* Fixed TV Missile doing much more damage than it should (it is no longer a 1-hit kill)
* Tweaked tank armor strength
* MAV elevatoring fix, round 2; proning on the MAV will now disable it
* RCON admin.say command can send to individual players
* A few invalid map+gamemode combinations in maplist.txt could crash the server on startup; these combinations are now rejected instead
* RCON vars.serverDescription was not returning anything in R20 if the string was not set; this has been changed to return “” instead
* RCON player.onChat now reports the target player subset

You may have seen advertisements of an iOS version of Battlelog on Battlelog’s website for many months now. Despite this, we never got word on when or if we’d ever see Battlelog released on Apple’s iOS platform. To everyone’s surprise, EA has now released the Battleog app for the iPhone. The free app lets users check their stats, notifications, and friend lists.
