We’re seeing Battlefield 3 at DICE – content incoming
We’ve just been on a studio tour of DICE in Stockholm, Sweden, and we’re going to get to play a PS3 co-op mission of Battlefield 3 this afternoon. This afternoon we’re also interviewing Lars Gustavsson, DICE’s creative director, and studio head Patrick Bach. We’ve got readers Chris Hockey and Colin Gallacher with us: they won a competition to come on this trip earlier this month. We’ll have some content up for you as soon as we can.
Some pictures below the break.

They’re going to bomb Eurogamer Expo with pods. Sounds as though it’s going to be the biggest game there by a mile.

@Pat
So presumably, with DICE bombarding the EG Expo with pods, it will be then that we get a proper look at the camera shy 360 version?

@16 – I’ll ask them. There’s no one from EA in the room right now, but I’ll grab someone in a second.

Just had a bash at ps3 co-op. Fair to say that Colin saved me a good few times. Not so much special forces, more special needs forces.

Does this mean that BF3 will score a 10/10 no matter what?
For the plus points – looks great, sounds great. Wasnt impressed with Alpha, as the same bugs/issues that haunt BC2 are still in the game.
