ORIGINAL STORY: Over the weekend EA published - then pulled - the official Battlefield 3 Premium trailer ahead of its E3 press conference.

The trailer confirmed the existence of the offering and last week's leaked specification sheet.

Pay for Battlefield 3 Premium and you get access to all five expansion packs: Back to Karkand, Close Quarters, Armored Kill, two weeks early access to Aftermath, and two weeks early access to End Game. Aftermath is described as a "fight for survival". End Game is described as "lethal high-speed action".

You also get 20 new weapons, over 10 new vehicles, exclusive dog tags, camo for kits and weapons, more modes, new assignments, new game modes and more.
