"If you’re a gamer, then you’re no doubt accustomed to the way the lines that separate the world of videogames from other entertainment industries frequently blur.
This blurring allows franchises to straddle various forms of media comfortably. Indeed, it’s now becoming increasingly commonplace for a franchise’s canon to be spread in this way, using everything from games to films, through comics to books, to tell different parts of a greater tale.

"PushStartSelect: "First off I know the service is currently two different things and just announced.

Could EA be working on an Elite type service to expand the Battlefield network and help improve Battlelog? Perhaps it will be free?
