According to an anonymous report BF3Blog received from inside Valve, the developer/publisher is currently in late-stage talks with EA in bringing Battlefield 3 to the Steam digital distribution service. The rumor says that Battlefield 3 would be available on Steam just in time for the game’s release on October 25.
According to the report, EA and Valve are very close to reaching an agreement regarding sales of DLC content, which is the main reason Battlefield 3 is not on Steam: Valve requires that all DLC is sold through Steam, while EA would prefer to sell via its own channels. This was the cause of another EA title, Crysis 2, for being pulled from Steam earlier this year.
Many PC gamers have lobbied both EA and Valve to put Battlefield 3 on Steam for a while now. It looks like it’ll finally happen soon.

The official RAGE strategy guide is on its way from Prima Games, and today we’ve got a preview of what you’ll find inside.
In addition to step-by-step walkthroughs of all the main campaign and multiplayer missions, the official guide sports a full rundown of every sidequest, mini-game, race and secret challenge in the game. Here’s how detailed this thing is: they took the time to create maps specifically to point out all of the vehicle jump challenges.
You’re also getting a slew of strategies for every weapon, vehicle, item and enemy in the game, as well as a comprehensive guide to the RAGE Frenzy card game you’ll play in the wasteland. It’s 240 pages of meticulously researched content, and for a game as big as RAGE, you’re going to want every word of it.
In conjunction with the print guide, Prima is also releasing a digital version. In addition to all of the walkthroughs and detailed info, the online version has interactive maps of the Wasteland, Eastern Wasteland and interior areas, allowing you to toggle collectables and points of interest on/off, zoom in and out and view embedded video strategies. Pick-ups, settlements, vehicle jumps and collector cards are detailed with expandable screens, descriptions and streaming video.
