Last month, publisher Electronic Arts said preorder tallies for Battlefield 3 are currently tracking 10 times higher than predecessor Battlefield: Bad Company 2. However, reservation totals aren't the only area upon which Battlefield 3 is growing tenfold over its predecessor. Battlefield 3 will continue to be fun in 2013, says DICE.

　　According to the latest Battlelog update, Battlefield 3 features 10 times as many in-game unlocks as Bad Company 2. These items include weapons, weapon attachments, gadgets, awards, service stars, and what DICE calls a "huge unlock tree" for vehicles.

　　DICE believes this in-game content surge will make it so players "will have as much fun with the game in 2013 as on launch day."

　　Battlefield 3 is due out on October 25, 2011, on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. It is the first core installment in the series since 2005's PC-exclusive Battlefield 2. Further, Battlefield 3 for the PC will not arrive on Steam and will "probably" charge secondhand users for online play.
