A full list of Battlefield 3 maps were released a few days ago, one of them being "MP_OMAHA" with no associated picture. Omaha was a map in Battlefield 1942 (and a good one at that) which was based on the famous invasion of Normandy. Roaming around base three in Battlefield 3's Operation Metro map, you'll notice this newspaper box:



And what is that in the top right?



Not very easy to read, but the original graphic isn't much easier to understand either. Think you know what Battlefield 3's "Le Magazine De La France" newspaper says or what the above picture really contains? Let us know!



"EA DICE, BEST VIDEO GAME STUDIO IN THE WORLD SINCE 1997."

According to an anonymous report BF3Blog received from inside Valve, the developer/publisher is currently in late-stage talks with EA in bringing Battlefield 3 to the Steam digital distribution service. The rumor says that Battlefield 3 would be available on Steam just in time for the game’s release on October 25.

According to the report, EA and Valve are very close to reaching an agreement regarding sales of DLC content, which is the main reason Battlefield 3 is not on Steam: Valve requires that all DLC is sold through Steam, while EA would prefer to sell via its own channels. This was the cause of another EA title, Crysis 2, for being pulled from Steam earlier this year.

Many PC gamers have lobbied both EA and Valve to put Battlefield 3 on Steam for a while now. It looks like it’ll finally happen soon.

We’ve reached out to EA and Valve for a comment on this story.

Silencer = makes bullets take longer to travel over distances

Silencer = for close range engagements

A .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, this particular model features a ported barrel, a compact frame for easy carry, and of course, a round that will blow your head clean off. The .44 Magnum is the most powerful available side arm, but the recoil and weight of the weapon makes fast follow up shots extremely difficult. In Battlefield 3, the .44 Magnum can be equipped with a 3x scope.

Some errors here. Can you spot them?

also, it can have a scope hothothot

barrel extentions+stock for .44 magnum+3x scope=sniper rifle

forget off, Steam is much more popular and almost all my games are on it.  Stop whining, and google "origin (error message)".  You probably just can't run the beta.

I wonder how the veteran program is going to work.
I know this is wishful thinking I hope it's something unique depending on which games you own.
