Is BF3 PC only though? They must be doing consoles as well to make some money.
The presentation I posted above talks lots about PS3 Cell optimization for their next game engine, so it may even be "console centric" like BC2.

No, I think they won't allow you to host a server or make non-ranked server. You can still rent your own ranked servers.
I don't understand whats the crying about that. No one played on non-ranked servers in BF2 or BF2142. And theres no point to even allow you to host your own crappy servers from your computer because there won't be mods tools(testing maps is the only reason I can think for that server).
Clans will have to pay for renting server from EA/Dice cos they cannot setup server at own machine. Retarded.
Also there wont be battlerecorder, no demos, ugly clangaming.
No mods... yea bcos we can pay for mods/maps from EA/DICE.
Usually they rent servers from somewhere, don't they?Clans will have to pay for renting server from EA/Dice cos they cannot setup server at own machine. Retarded.
What's their reasoning for doing it this way?
Clans run public servers on their home connections? Retarded.
Clans quite often own dedicated servers, or colocate servers in server housings. Exactly the same thing as server hosting companies do for example.
Things like this stop small hosting companies and clans to host their own server, all probably to stop cracked servers from appearing.
However if the serverfiles are secret or whatever, then that usually means you get no ftp service to the servers meaning custom maps and mods are impossible.

All in all its nothing that bad, if they wouldnt have pretended to be the saviors of PC gaming when MW2 came out which ****ed PC gamers over. Now this is still a step back from what players generally expected from Dice, and especially after the sweet talk to pc gamers feels like simply ****ing over pc gamers yet again.
"Ruined Battlefield Heroes"This would look really good to me if you know, Dice didn't ****ing suck.
Bastards ruined Battlefield Heroes. I don't trust them enough to not screw me again after I've spent money on this.
It's the same thing as with BF 2, except that this time all servers are ranked.
I really hope this game is going to be good, with it being a multi platform release i am sceptical.
Beta is the 28th so i will be hammering youtube for beta videos.
Rak: Is there regenerating health in this game? I have seen medic packs being thrown around which would lead me to believe otherwise.
