-BF3 -- Co-op Weapons Glitch, CommoRose Voice Commands, Battlelog on iOS Soon

The Battlelog has been a very successful aspect to the Battlefield 3 experience, which has also seen a few updates since the latest patches. However, many are still wondering whether or not it will ever make it to mobile devices. Thankfully, DICE has stated that the "iOS will see it soon. Android, Blackberry, and Windows may see it yet in the future." A little ambiguous about the last three devices, but at least iOS users may get their hands on an app soon.

DICE has also recently responded to some new issues that Battlefield 3 players are experiencing after the latest PS3 patch. However, this particular issue doesn't really present itself as a "problem," fortunately. Strangely, some fans have reported that after the patch, all co-op weapons were automatically unlocked. Responding to fans asking whether or not this was intentional, DICE states, "unfortunately not. This is a bug and we're aware of the issue. Thanks for your report!" Whether players who have unlocked these weapons through the patch will get them taken away or not is still unclear.

Tomas Danko, Voice-Over Producer at DICE, has revealed some new features that may be included in the next PC patch. (If you missed what was included the previous one, check out the patch notes here.) Some fans have been asking if it will ever be possible to be able to hear CommoRose commands over the radio, just like in Battlefield 2. Danko responded saying, "you might like the upcoming patch." This obviously isn't an official statement from DICE, but it seems pretty safe to assume that PC players will soon be able to enjoy barking commands over the radio.

-NewEgg Wanfest Launches $2500 BF3 PC Tournament

Just this weekend Newegg Wanfest announced the opening of signups for an online Battlefield 3 tournament that will run from Monday, December 19th, to Sunday, January 8th. Like all Wanfest tournaments, it is free to enter with cash prizes being awarded to the top three teams left standing: $500 for third place, $750 for second place, and a solid $1,250 for the first place team. The format for the tournament is currently listed as 5v5 Squad Rush with each match being determined by best two of three maps. Teams earn points by blowing up M-COM sites with the map winner being determined by who has the most points after playing both attacker and defender.

The tournament tweaks some of the default Squad Rush settings in order to achieve a better competitive balance. The rules note that Mortars are currently disallowed; this is in order to prevent teams from spamming the M-COM site on defense or while protecting it on attacker. Also, each team is limited to only one Assault player at a time. Players can pick Assault kits up off the ground if they come by them but only one player can be spawned in as the Assault "skin" at any one time.

Newegg has a history of running PC tournaments for the Battlefield series with their most recent event being the Summer 2010 Bad Company 2 Squad Rush tournament that had more than 100 teams competing for similar cash prizes. It's always great to see tournaments for the Battlefield series, but it's even better when there is money on the line! With this tournament by Newegg and the Alienware Arena event, Battlefield 3 eSports is starting off with a bang. What are you waiting for? Get over and get your team signed up to get in on the action.
