Not as yet, but with them releasing the Caspian Border trailer I have a feeling it will be that and Operation Metro. It will definately be more that the Alpha but no more than 2 maps I would imagine.

It'll be interesting to see if it just crumbles or falls over in different directions, whether you can plant C4 on the base and blow it up etc?
I cant wait to just explore the map, it's fucking massive

Thats good to know. Literally the only thing on BC2 that made me rage quit

Will all be worth it if you can run the game on some high settings

I plan on running it on the highest settings yes, so I'll be spending more than I would have a few months ago. It'll be worth it though.

Just remember the CPU still does most of the work when it comes to gaming, something like 80% of whats happening in the game is down to the processor.
I hope to get a decent frame rate on medium settings with mine, I know it would be like 30fps on ultra even at a low res so wouldn't be worth feeling the lag.

Yeah the CPU/Mobo/ram etc will be the main priority. Not sure about Graphics cards yet, not sure what to buy and if I should run 2 or not. The PC demo of BF3 at shows etc was running 2 GTX 580's

Bf2 was a campfest, I didn't like it much, bfbc2 online I thought was pretty decent though, seems BF3 will be a mix of the 2

quote: DICE product manager Tommy Rydling talked about a few components of the co-op aspect of Battlefield 3 today on the European Official PlayStation Blog. Here's what he had to say:
* Missions in co-op are "for the most part" asymmetric. One example given is that one mission can have you piloting a helicopter, while your friends is the gunner. Another example was one player disarming a bomb, while the other player defends him or her.
* Players will play as soldiers that are not tied to any particular branch of the Armed Forces, a decision made to allow for greater flexibility and variety in co-op
* After you and your teammate clear a co-op mission, your total combined score will be displayed via Battleblog
* Co-op missions are designed to be shorter than single player, in order to make it easier for players to challenge multiple rounds in the same sitting and to encourage competing with friends for high scores
* Difficulty for co-op is mentioned as "high"
* All co-op missions will contain randomized elements, to "keep every playthrough fresh"
* You'll be able to unlock weapons in co-op that can then be used in the regular multiplayer modes. Unlocks are based on your combined scores accumulated throughout the co-op campaign
* Finally, the PlayStation 3 Open Beta for Battlefield 3 will begin in September.
