* NOTE: If you are not a die-hard Battlefield fan, then this is definitely not for you.

Gaming peripherals manufacturer Razer has unveiled a new range of kit branded with logos and artwork from EA’s forthcoming Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 3′s team deathmatch mode will be a smaller, vehicle-less affair than the sprawling 64 player Conquest mode that we saw demoed spectacularly at Gamescom last week. DICE confirmed to the BF3 blog that team deathmatch mode will support 24 player, infantry only scraps. It may be less than Conquest mode, but it’s a step above Battlefield: Bad Company 2′s 16 player contests.

Tank fans, fear not. There will be plenty of opportunity to run over cars, enemy soldiers and small animals in single player, and more exciting opportunities to shoot down jets in tanks, divebomb tanks in jets and fly jets into other jets in Battlefield 3′s biggest multiplayer maps. We recently learned that we’ll have to use the Battlelog website to access multiplayer. Battlefield 3 is out on October 25in the US, October 27 in Australia and October 28 in Europe.

That's right! Pre-Order Battlefield 3 through one of the following stores, send a confirmation email/receipt to [email protected] with "Battlefield 3 Pre-Order" in the title and get a free Battlefield 3 themed tshirt, compliments of Enterbf3.com!

* Note: Pre-order promotion for the free game is only valid through the month of August 2011. You must pre-order through EA's Origin.

EA is trying very hard to sell gamers on a service they don't seem to want, at least judging by comments online. The publisher has been offering sales on past games, early access to the Battlefield 3 beta for those who pre-order, and now we know that you'll be using EA's Origin service even if you buy the game at a physical retail location. The latest weapon is a simple one: if you pre-order Battlefield 3, you get a free game from a list of three.

A friend who had already pre-ordered the game was pleasantly surprised to receive the following e-mail, which he forwarded:

"As a special thank you for pre-ordering Battlefield 3 early at Origin, we're offering you a bonus PC digital download game. Please apply the code below at the shopping cart to redeem one PC Digital version of one of our recommended shooter titles: Mass Effect 2, Dead Space 2 or Medal of Honor. The price will be reduced to $0 after applying the code at your shopping cart. Hurry—this offer is only good for the month of August, and is exclusive to Origin customers only. See below for more details."

That's not a bad deal, and it's my professional recommendation that you pick up Mass Effect 2 if you haven't already played it (although Medal of Honor is severely underrated if you're into military shooters). On the other hand, EA is beginning to sound like a pitch man on late-night television, screaming "but wait, there's more!" in an effort get you to take out your credit card and buy their game... through their service.
