No. It's not dumb, it's genius. If you really don't think so then I think you're playing the wrong franchise.
Go to battlelog -> press Quick Match (uses your pre-defined server browser filters) -> 5-10 seconds later you're in-game.

Aye but on Steam I can understand that as Steam are taking their cut (however much it may be) so the publishers bump the price up. If I am purchasing directly from the publisher I would expect to see a reasonable reduction in price to reflect that all my money goes direct to them. Yes they need to have upkeep of their download servers too but I seriously doubt whether the amount Steam takes per sale is only how much it costs to run their servers.

But if I don't have Origin open it will still take longer. Good point though you can go direct to the website. Still stupid as I really cannot see what the website can do that in-game services can't do? (Apart from profiles but who the hell wants to look at someone's profile on Battlelog?)
If it works then its already much better than the flaky server browsers we get ingame for most BF releases

Lol quite. I really still don't see how this is in any way better. Sure it is different and new and interesting, but better? I don't think so. In the future will all my games launch from a browser? Sounds like Google's idea of utopia.
Assuming you have Origin already running, I am willing to bet you could get into a game quicker via Battlelog than having to run BF3 in the normal way... by the time you get through all the intro videos from EA, Dice etc.. then logging into EA servers... you will probably be shooting people via Battlelog.

Another revelation regarding BF3 has just leaked onto the web: the Battlefield 3 Limited Edition will reportedly include a DLC titled “Back to Karkand”, which will include 4 BF2 maps remade with the Forstbite 2 engine, including the famous Strike At Karkand. On top of that, the DLC will ship with vehicles and weapons from BF2 as well.
Those who do not get the Limited Edition will be able to purchase the Back To Karkand DLC a month after the game is released, and it’s rumored to retail at $10.

I started to like the support class lastnight for attacking 
Really helps in the tunnels to keep the enemy pinned down so others can move up and clear the area

I love having everything right there in your favorite web browser and is a lot quicker than loading up the game, Dice done good.
I've pre-ordered the ltd edition from Tesco and in it's description it does indeed say all that you mention. I suppose it entices people to pre-order.
