Thanks to Lunkens for the poop that Digital Battle has a little Battlefield 3 scoop:
A tipster sent us PDF document which looked like an outline of features for Battlefield 3. The three page document is apparently prepared for investors which should get it by December of this year. It details basic features of BF3, and are as listed:
Two playable factions, NATO and MEC (Middle Eastern Coalition)
Will ship with 8 maps, each supporting up to 40-players per team
Set in year modern day
Possible public beta in “Summer 2008″

When asked if this was real, EA replied: "No comment".
