Thanks BigTime!
An answer to my prayers.
Jets, prone & 64 players!
Hoo-rah!

64 player... makes me so happy!

This is going to be a great year for gaming! Homefront, SW:TOR, and BF3.

i agree this year will be great! RAGE, Homefront, and BF3. I need to do a little upgrading!

Damn I need to find a job

More info

There are also some BF3 details on the twitter feed of Alan "Demize99" Kertz, the senior gameplay designer on Battlefield 3, who mentions "Huge Maps. Tanks Defibrillators. Jets. Team play" and "The focus of #BF3 isn't special forces... we'll leave that to MOH" and "Yes, there will be spotting" and "Dolphin Diving is out. Period" and "There will be a knife, there will be dogtags. No details for now" and "I want players to have to chose between CQB and Long Range, there won't be hybrid scopes because it kills that choice" and "Vehicle/Infantry balance is a focus for me, it will be awesome this time" and "No plans for ziplines or grapple hooks no" and "BF3 will be deeper than BF2. That said we've paid a lot of attention to keeping depth while pacing the learning curve."

Im with ya on that Yonni.. 64 players and the re-implementation of jets and the BIG battlefield was the info i was waiting for.. Some seriously good times ahead!

Damn new info coming out everyday, seems like the game is being released next month instead of in the fall.

CONFIRMED:
DICE said that they consider the PC version to be the lead version of the game. This gives me hope

There will also be a degree of character customization for players

Battlefield 3 will feature a kill cam, similar to Call of Duty’s, and players will be able to turn it off.

Sulaymaniyah and Iraqi Kurdistan have been confirmed as locations in the game, joining Tehran, Paris and New York. There will be a full single player campaign which will be completely original

Though the PC is the lead version of the game, there won’t be any support for modding on release. DICE say that the Frostbite 2 engine is complex and the tools would have to be dumbed down for general use. This doesn’t rule out a release of some form of mod tools in future. No mod tools will piss off a huge amount of gamers, but games are going this direction anyways

Ive seen the frost-ED editor, it's as straight forward as any other editor.. How do you think they're making expansion packs? Cannot wait for the game though.. Here are some scans of the latet game-informer magazine.. I have not yet read through it all but seems informative.

AND

Those anxious to start the fight can pre-order the Battlefield 3 Limited Edition now at www.battlefield.com. The Battlefield 3 Limited Edition includes Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand at no extra charge.* This themed expansion pack features four legendary maps from Battlefield 2 boldly re-imagined with Frostbite 2 physics, destruction and visuals. Completing the package are classic Battlefield 2 weapons and vehicles, unique rewards, new achievements/trophies, and more.

It looks like the expansion is only available with the Digital Download. That's kinda cheap on their part. They should've included it with any pre-order. I guess I'll have to forgo that then; I ONLY buy the disc copy, not the digital download......I've got a thing for actually having the disc on hand for the game.
