Gamescom Battlefield 3 Trailer Showcases Armored Kill and Aftermath

[Shawn Zipay]

A new trailer for Battlefield 3 was shown off today at Gamescom 2012. While the focus of the trailer is primarily for the new "Battlefield 3 Premium Edition", it does feature new footage for both the Armored Kill DLC and the Aftermath DLC.

As for the Premium Edition, here's a brief rundown of what it has to offer players upon its release on September 11.

Combining the original Battlefield 3 game, all Battlefield 3 Premium content including five themed digital expansion packs, and a Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Head-Start Kit that is custom-designed to help jump start players who are new to multiplayer by automatically unlocking 15 different weapons, gadgets and vehicle upgrades. Battlefield 3 Premium Edition delivers more than 25 maps, over 70 weapons and vehicles and dozens of unlocks and upgrades, making it the perfect entry point into one of the top shooter games of this generation. At $69.99 it's an unbeatable value compared to purchasing all this great content individually at a cost of well over $100.

A little weird that they're still going to charge such a high premium for it, but to each his own. Look for Armored Kill next month, Aftermath in December, and End Game in March of 2013.

Aftermath does actually look a bit interesting. I hope more will be to come.

I also hope that the weapons it introduces actually look beaten up, but work... Just a little aesthetic point.

Premium Edition at a high price? Man, you read the battlelog forums and you think EA was giving the game away for free. Thats the power of the internet masses though. Jump the gun and dont think about it at all.

Yeah, It is normal that games tend to lower the price with time. The guys who brag about this must be cod fans and are used to see their old games with old engines still costing like 20 euros after so many years. I mean,unless it's a fine bottle of wine, pretty much everything ends up losing it's value with time.

Not completely true. It is all a question of availability. For obvious reasons there will be a diminishing number of a certain bottle of wine as when you drink one that number diminishes thus resulting in a higher price.
If the same characteristics should be applied to a videogame they should make their limited editions, well limited. Then they had to add collectible items, like an action figure or something which is only made in a limited number. The core product, the actual game, will loose value as it gets outdated and no one will by BF3 when BF 11 is released unless they are really nerdi. Like all the comic nerds collecting action figures in their original box aso. Those items actually do increase in value over time. Granted it may not be much as there is little prestige in action figures and PC games but still.

not quite about the value argument, i got as well as rebought many classic titles and i value them dearly like Half Life, BF1942 but thats just one gamer out of millions.
