To remove the HUD in Battlefield 3, use the new console command “UI.Drawenable 0“.
I can see how this can be useful for making nice community videos and such, especially when DICE release the Battlerecorder for Battlefield 3 – yes, due to popular demand, DICE are said to actually be working on it, however no official information has been given yet about when it will be made available.

Now check out this TV commercial, made in just 10 days. Meant to promote the “Only in Battlefield 3” competition by EA and DICE, I personally think it’s pretty impressive what these guys have managed to cook together in such a short time frame. Here’s what they have to say about it:
EA asked us to create a TV commercial for Battlefield 3 so we teamed up with Sam and Niko from http://youtube.com/corridordigital and made a commercial in 10 days! We finally got to do practical explosions and even got a real tank!
For the concept, we took the skid-steer loader from the Back to Karkand expansion pack and made it deadly, utilizing online battle tactics that many of you should know and love.
As Back to Karkand is being released today, the servers will be patched.
Downtime is estimated at one hour.
The PC release for Back to Karkand is 09:00 CET, 10:00 EET, 08:00 GMT (UK), 12 AM PST (US).
The Xbox 360 release for Back to Karkand is 10:00 CET, 11:00 EET, 09:00 GMT (UK), 1 AM PST (US).
These are the now confirmed weapons that will make an appearance in Back to Karkand as unlockable items by completing assignments:
| HK53 |  |
| L85A2 |  |
| MK3A1 (Jackhammer) |  |
| L96 |  |
| FAMAS |  |
| MG36 |  |
| QBU-88 (Type 88) |
 |
| QBZ-95B |  |
| QBB-95 |  |
| PP-19 |  |
After the recent patch, the antenna on Caspian Border will now fall and kill anyone “riding” it or standing underneath it when the losing team reaches only a few tickets left (approximately 15 tickets or so).
If we could only shoot it down ourselves…
Oh well, maybe next patch? 😉
Another Battlefield 3 Mythbusters video is out. I enjoyed it, and hope you will too.
