Yeah, I found myself forgetting that it was a back-end beta test more than a play-test beta. Many people never even understood the concept of beta testing the back-end features, the ones that complained all the time...

Well once you figure out the bullet drop amount per distance, it's pretty easy to estimate how high to aim (at least it is for me in BC2).
There's too much info to quote so just read it at the source.

Can't help but notice the internal MPxxx designations for the maps go up to 15 despite there only being nine maps.
One part of me says DICE is just scrapping failed ideas but the other, more cynical one can't help but look over at the $15 four-map CoD DLC and wonder if EA has the unholy nuts to do likewise

Considering the amount of work and polish and design that goes into a BF3 map, I'm doubtful that they pulled from the original game to sell as DLC later. CoD maps are shit and don't take half the time to make as a BF3 map would.
You can see that mapnames are sporadic. If you look at Port Valdez it says mp_012. It was one of the first maps to be revealed for BC2. I can't find the current full maplist, but I don't think the DLC maps were in between Laguna Presa (mp_009) and Port Valdez, which would indicate maps that were cut, finished, and released again (but they were free DLC).

I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about Battlefield 3 using your Origin ID. If you set your Origin ID before realizing what it was going to be used for it is actually pretty easy to change if you have an iOS device.
Simply download Scrabble Free for iOS and then log in with your Origin account. Once you’ve logged in go to settings (the little gear in the bottom left corner) and then click on “Edit Account” and there you go. You can change your username to something you are more comfortable with
