It is already out, available for purchase.
Nope, it's only an expansion pack for multiplayer.
The SCAR L comes with the map pack called Close Quarters. I believe it is the second unlock that you can get. If you want to get the SCAR L you would have to purchase Close Quarters.
There are a total of 60 assignments in Battlefield 3. Some of the assignments are only inculded in the more recent map packs like Close Quarters and Armored Kill. There are 10 assignments in each map pack I believe.
Battlefield 3 was release in Australia on the 27th of October, 2011.
NEVER
The Battlefield 3 beta is not out at the minute but is coming soon.There is no Battlefield Bad Company 3 at all. Although, for Battlefield 3, there was a beta, but as of now, there is no demo.
Here are all the expansions for Battlefield 3 Premium: Back to Karkand, Close Quarters, Armored Kill, Aftermath, and End Game. So there are five expansions that come with Battlefield 3 Premium.
Battlefield 3 Premium includes everything that the regular edition comes with and some expansions. The expansions are Back to Karkand, Close Quarters, Armored Kill, Aftermath, and End Game. These expansions include weapons, assignments, maps, dog tags, etc.
The new game modes for Battlefield 3 Close Quarters are Team Deathmatch C, Gun Master, and Conquest C. These new modes were made due to the much smaller maps and space. Team Deatmatch C is the same as TDM just adapted more for the close quarters. Conquest C is also adapted to the much less space. Gun master is a totally new mode where players get to cycle through weapons after they get a certain amount of kills. This mode lets you "master" different weapons that come with the game.
Playing assault in close quarters with the defibrillator can often help you rack up points quickly. You get as many points for reviving as you do for getting a kill. Give it a try.
Three or four this summer, then in fall, few more in winter, and finally four more in Spring. They will be part of the DLCs "Close Quarters", "Armoured Kill", "Aftermath" and "Endgame".
