Never played the xbox 360 version of bfme 2, but hope they dont dumb it down too much to cater to the controller crowd
One day early or not, that's an obvious April Fools' day prank.
Look at the URL, www.bfme3.net; as if they would really use a .net domain for a major game website, haha. The cheesy-looking logo just screams "amateur teenager with pirated Photoshop." Also, the release text is full of inconsistencies and obvious jokes ("The Battle for Middle-earth 3," when it should be III," and "[..] says Isaac Johnston, High King, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment." Joke title aside, there is nobody by that name known at WBIE). Also, the press kit download button links to a fucking Dropbox account.
And now for the final nail in the coffin: before he had it hidden behind DomainsByProxy, whois showed the domain as being registered to very young man named Cameron [redacted; don't want to contribute to people e-stalking the kid] living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I looked up the specific street address (which I won't post here) from the whois, and it's just a random house on a residential street. I kind of doubt that Warner Bros registers their web domains via random kids in Pennsylvania.
Aside from the schadenfreude of laughing at people who fall for April Fools' day pranks, there's nothing to see here. Move along.
Correcting people since 2007 even if they're not wrong.

ok change the topic on April Fools day
- i guess i was just too excited to judge it properly and people who do April Fools jokes days early deserves special place in hell
i hate this day, all this retard bullshit popping everywhere they think its funny
Every April 1st, I see tons of people on the internet bitching about pranks like this and saying things like "how is this a joke, it's not funny." The point of an April fools' prank, in my eyes, isn't always necessarily to tell a joke or be funny by itself; it's to trick people into believing something that isn't true, while the more discerning among us sit back and chuckle. Hence why its' called "April fools' day."
