Most importantly, official details regarding Battlefield 4 will always be made available on Battlefield.com and here on the Battlefield Blog. We expect that the level of interest in Battlefield 4 will lead to a lot of speculation and rumour &#8211; don&#8217;t fall for it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to get access to the upcoming beta, the easiest way to do it will be to pre-order the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor: Warfighter, which is due out later this year. Doing this guarantees access to the beta, but EA assures us that this won\u2019t be the only way.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding Battlefield 3, Tornay also had some details on the release of Battlefield 3 add-on Armored Kill, which is due out in September.<\/p>\n<p>These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Armored Kill will have five new drivable vehicles including mobile artillery, tank destroyers and ATVs.<\/li>\n<li>There will be over 20 vehicle specific unlocks.<\/li>\n<li>Players will be able to spawn in and fire from the all-new gunship.<\/li>\n<li>We will be introducing the Tank Superiority game mode where tank pilots and infantry will have to use all their skills to control key points of the maps.<\/li>\n<li>The console player cap will stay at 24 players. Players can expect to have a great time on these maps as we are custom tailoring the new Armored Kill maps with these parameters in mind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"Battlefield Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.battlefield.com\/2012\/07\/battlefield-update-the-battlefield-4-beta-and-armored-kill\/\" target=\"_blank\">Battlefield Blog<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Battlefield 3: Aftermath details revealed\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41978-battlefield-3-aftermath-details-revealed.html\" target=\"_blank\">Battlefield 3: Aftermath details revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Battlefield 4 beta confirmed for 2013\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41908-battlefield-4-beta-confirmed-for-2013.html\" target=\"_blank\">Battlefield 4 beta confirmed for 2013<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"SA Battlefield 3 hackers \u2013 how many are there?\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/41483-sa-battlefield-3-hackers-how-many-are-there.html\" target=\"_blank\">SA Battlefield 3 hackers \u2013 how many are there?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Battlefield 3 Armored Kill DLC Trailer\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41676-battlefield-3-armored-kill-dlc-trailer.html\" target=\"_blank\">Battlefield 3 Armored Kill DLC Trailer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"EA CEO: \u201cPC is the fastest growing platform today\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41717-ea-ceo-pc-is-the-fastest-growing-platform-today.html\" target=\"_blank\">EA CEO: \u201cPC is the fastest growing platform today\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Also provides details on Armored Kill add-on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":41910,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,4],"tags":[3869,49,5693,709,175,813,21,5948],"class_list":["post-42051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","category-xbox","tag-armored-kill","tag-battlefield-3","tag-battlefield-4","tag-dice","tag-ea","tag-electronic-arts","tag-headline","tag-ian-tornay"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42051"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42051\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42081,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42051\/revisions\/42081"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
