If true, you'll be able to get content unique to the program and additional options for personalization.

Battlefieldo, a site dedicated to everything 'Battlefield 3,' reported late last week that a new content service could be heading to game.

The service, according to the allegedly leaked press release, will be called Battlefield Premium, and will offer players access to more customizability, unique content like the Premium Knife, camos, Assignments and more.

There's no official word on the service yet, but as far as rumors go, this one sounds very likely.

Today's 'Battlefield 3' Patch for Xbox 360 Brings Big Updates and Server Rentals

Tags: Battlefield 3, Game Patches, Xbox 360 (all tags)

Xbox 360 owners join PC and PS3 players in the ability to rent a server with prices starting at $1.49 a day.

Today's patch to 'Battlefield 3' brings with it quite a few tweaks and improvements, but the most notable addition to the game is the addition of a rent-a-server service. By renting a dedicated server, you can create the exact game experience you want, regardless of the typical game rules.

Server rental starts at $1.49 a day, which is a decent enough price to try out the dedicated server thing and see if it works for you. Stepping up the rental time lowers the price per day, with 90 days costing you $59.99, or about $0.66 a day.

Of course, if dedicated servers aren't your thing, there are still pages upon pages of patch notes for you to check out, broken down into categories for guns, vehicles, scopes and general gameplay fixes.

Tags: Battlefield 3, Close Quarters, Armor King, Expansions, DLC, DICE (all tags)

The first and second expansions will be focused on infantry and vehicle combat respectively.

The folks over at EA are keeping 'Battlefield 3' going in a big way thanks to three expansions being launched this year.

The first expansion to 'Battlefield 3,' 'Close Quarters', will focus on short-range infantry fights. In addition to the 10 added weapons, each map will have more destructible terrain. The second, 'Armor King,' is the opposite - big open spaces with plenty of room for vehicular combat.

In addition to these new expansions, EA will give console players the ability to rent and set up custom servers. This will allow people to experience the game in just the way they want.

EA Opens a Gothenburg Studio to Focus on the Frostbite 2 Engine

Tags: EA, EA Gothenburg, Battlefield 3 (all tags)

The Frostbite 2 engine is currently used in 'Battlefield 3,' and 'Need for Speed: The Run.'

'Battlefield 3' was more than just a killer multiplayer experience. It was also the first game to use the new Frostbite 2 engine.

EA must have been pretty pleased with Frostbite 2, because they just opened a new studio in Gothernburg, Sweden focusing exclusively on making games using the engine. The studio is currently hiring a boatload of new people for positions within the studio.

The studio hasn't revealed any information on what projects it will be tackling, but we expect to hear more once EA Gothenburg gets a full staff.

EA Pulls its 'Battlefield 3' iOS Game for Lack of Quality

With the amount of broken of just terrible games on the app store as it is, it's nice to see a developer do something about it.

Games made for the iPhone aren't always of the highest quality. In fact, it's probably a safe bet to say that a majority of them are pretty terrible. EA's 'Battlefield 3: Aftershock' definitely was. It had a 2.5 star rating with comments raging about the poor controls and glitches throughout the game.

In response to this, EA has pulled the game from the App Store. They made a game, the game was crap and they pulled the game - it makes so much sense but it's something you'll almost never see. After all, the 'Battlefield' brand will bring in app sales whether the game is good or not.

EA Mobile is going to take another look at the game and see if there's something they can do to fix it. A statement from the company says that they are "currently re-evaluating the app in response to the consumer feedback we've received."

If you picked up the limited edition you'll get it free, others will need to shell out $15.

If you're a 'Battlefield 3' player and a PlayStation 3 owner then you'll be happy to know that 'Back to Karkand' is available for purchase now. Unless you bought the limited edition version of course, in which case you'll get it absolutely free.

'Karkand' includes a nice list of new weapons, maps and vehicles as well as a new game mode called Conquest Assualt, which is similar to the existing Conquest mode but with the twist of specifying attackers and defenders.

Xbox 360 owners will be able to get their hands on the 'Karkand' DLC on December 13th.
