Hey Den,
As the preload gives us full access to the game well before release (I have a shiny BF3 icon on my desktop right now) what's the chances of getting a table before release? What's the encryption like on the code? Can we get an ETA?
Super hyped and childlike excited right now, I'm going to be staring at that icon for days..
Oh yeah, additionally, Dice confirmed that the day 1 patch is in fact included in the preload so we don't need to worry about it changing as soon as release day comes.

i've read somewhere that preload files are somehow encryped and jumbled up, and will be decrypted somehow with a specific key on the release date. this is done to prevent crackers from doing their magic before the game is even released.
quite possible the same mechanism makes it impossible to get weapon data before release. but 'tis all just speculation, i could be dead wrong. just a thought.

Well the game seems to be using server drm at the moment. When you try to boot it up it's connecting to a server to do a release date check before allowing you to play. Though I suppose you could also be right, there might be multiple things they've done.
Spoofing a server to lie about the date isn't actually too difficult, there's already a number of people that have released campaign footage from PC through this method.
Either way, if the code is accessible and early table would be AWESOME =D

last thing Den has said for supporting BF3 is "i dunno" Den can you give any more info? Are you waiting for someone to make an unpacker tool like what was needed for BFBC2 files or something? Or do you just not have much free time to make a BF3 chart? maybe we can help in some way?

The data was encrypted during the beta so I'm assuming he'd need to wait for that to be decompiled before any data can be retrieved.
