Battlefield 3 is slowly showing itself to the public. This morning the upcoming military shooter's official web site showed off a brief trailer that shows snips and quick shots of in-game footage from Digital Illusions' latest game. The footage shows a US Marine squad dealing with the enemy in Iraqi Kurdistan. We now have a local downloadable version of the trailer available to check out.

Publisher Electronic Arts has also confirmed the contents of the Battlefield 3 Limited Edition. As we reported earlier this month, people who pre-order the Limited Edition will get Frostbite Engine 2 versions of four maps from the previous game in the series Battlefield 2, along with other vehicles and weapons from that game.

As expected, info from this month's Game Informer cover story on Battlefield 3 is making its way onto the internet. A post on the NeoGAF message board has some bullet points on what was revealed in the article which gives the first details on developer Digital Illusions' next first person shooter.

The article states that the PC version of the game is the lead platform which is good news for people who might have been afraid that we would be getting a dumbed down console port. We won't reveal too much more about the bullet points in the post but one that is mentioned is that the game might not get mod tools with the post stating that the new Frostbite 2 engine is so complex that any mod tools would have to be dumbed down. The post hints that DICE might not want to put in any resources for that to happen.

Battlefield 3 details are starting to leak out to the internet following the multiplayer shooter's official announcement on Friday. Computer and Video Games claims in a new story that a leaked ad for the game shows that the Limited Edition of the Digital Illusions-developed game will provide gamers from content from the series' last installment Battlefield 2.

Specifically, the Limited Edition is supposed to give gamers access to a special four level map pack containing revamped versions of classic Battlefield 2 maps but redone in Battlefield 3's new Frostbite 2 graphics engine. In addition vehicles and weapons from Battlefield 2 will show up in the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3 along with "unique rewards, new Achievements/Trophies and more." Folks who don't pre-order the Limited Edition version of the game will apparently still be able to access its extra via paid DLC sometime after the game is released.

While we wait for the inevitable leaks from the upcoming Game Informer cover story, the official Battlefield web site has now offered up a little more info on the now officially announced Battlefield 3. The blog site states that the next game in developer Digital Illusions' military shooter series will have "a full single-player campaign and a co-op campaign" in addition to the game's popular multiplayer modes.

PC gamers can expect to have support for up to 64 players in online multiplayer. Jets will also be featured in Battlefield 3 and players who like to go prone will be happy to know they will be able to do that in the game as well. Much is being made about the powerful features of the Frostbit 2 graphics engine as well. If you want to go ahead and pre-order the game now you can do so at EA's online store to secure the Battlefield 3 Limited Edition. Details of what the Limited Edition will contain will be revealed later this month.

Update: We now have the teaser trailer for Battlefield 3 which you can check out after the jump.
