As you can see it is all about the vehicles. This is what the official website for BF3 has to say about "Armored Kill":

"Armored Kill"

The first ever Halo 4 gampelay was shown at the Microsoft press conference at E3. All diehard fans of the franchise were a bit on edge about the upcoming game considering the fact that a completely new company was developing Halo 4. The return of Master Chief himself did little to calm them down.

I remember watching a random late night talk show in which one of the hosts exclaimed "Why should we be excited about Halo 4 when strangers are making the game?". The fact that Bungie Studios split from Microsoft and the game was passed over to 343 Industries was not very well received by fans worldwide. A good analogy would be as if Santa Monica Studios had given the rights to God of War to an internal studio of Sony. It just wouldn't feel right.

Fortunately though, the gameplay demo shown by 343 Industries at E3 blew away these concerns, wowed the crowd and got the fans excited yet again for a new Halo. If you missed the demo check it out in the following link:

Server Rental Makes it Possible to Rent Out a Battlefield 3 Server

Being in random matches can be stressful. However, if you play Battlefield 3, then likely you don't have to worry about that from now on.

The reason why is because EA is renting out servers for your own personal use on the PS3, PC, and the Xbox 360. So that means you aren't going to be thrown into the middle of a battle where one sniper dominates the map or one lone wolf with a tank manages to squish you like a junebug over and over again. Now you can rent out a server and play with your friends and the people that you trust.

On the Xbox 360, for about $1.50 (120 Microsoft Points) per day or $25 (2000 Microsoft

MW3 Community Announces a Blackout of Activision Shooter

Reported by Attack of the Fanboy and various other sites on the internet, it seems there is some tension amongst the Modern Warfare 3 community of gamers that is directed at Infinity Ward. It seems that fans of the popular Call of Duty game want Infinity Ward to hear their complaints about the game's lack of support for the community's needs and concerns.

BF3 To Soon Have Three New Themed Expansions

Instead of delivering the usual downloadable content of maps for every FPS game out there, DICE decided to do something completely different when it comes to expanding Battlefield 3. They decided to give Battlefield 3 players a set of three expansion packs, with not only maps but also new game modes, new and innovative gameplay, and unique environments for each release.

Judging by the official descriptions, each of these three expansion packs will be set on a different type of gameplay for BF3. For example, in June, EA and DICE will release Battlefield 3: Close Quarters, which is an expansion pack that will put you in the boots of a foot soldier with new weapons, assignments and unique dog tags.
