Even though I registered my Steam key on Origin, still can't access Battlelog. My roommate can, though, so maybe it takes the account a moment.

Same here. It's past 3pm in Sweden. All keys were supposed to be out by now.

Launching through Battlelog... WORST IDEA EVER! >.> game flickers with the webpage and Origin why couldn't they just have a client.. This isn't a Free to play game for fuck sake. Also no squad browser WHAT THE HELL.

This is me as well. I love how those who supported EA and Origin early are getting leapfrogged by people who purchased MOH on Steam. However, in all fairness, they were eligible to receive the Beta well before Origin existed.

Yes, you absolutely do. You have to have it to SEE the key. At least in my Steam client. So I started the DL and saw the key and then stopped the DL and deleted it.

Sorry man, just reporting what I'm seeing. I don't have MOH installed and haven't for a few days. I can grab a screencap if you want.

Like I said, maybe if you'd never installed it before, you're required to install it a first time. But mine is not installed and I got the key.

And PC is twice the size. Makes me optimistic that PC version will get Caspian Border next week :D

Which would cause rather large outrage in Xbox/PS communities, if they're left out.
But i assume increased texture resolutions etc and compression alone cannot account for larger filesize, can they?

Works fine, it's the first competent server browser DICE have made.

must be it. I never installed it. just bought it to get a bf3 beta key.

but that's my point - you need to install it to see the key. :)

Never dips below 80fps outside. Inside tunnel 100+ majority of the time. Ultra everything, HBAO, max AA, 70/100 motion blur. Uses 1.4GB of VRAM at the highest.

No you don't, you just click on the game and press "CD-Key" on the right side of the main window. You don't have to start the download.

You had to have it installed at some point prior in order to see the key. If you had never installed it, you need to in order to see the key. Hence my point. You can just start the DL, get the key, and stop the DL and delete it.

So what happens for those that preordered it on origin ? Do we wait for an email? Wait for the portal site? EA is handling this very poorly I must say. Hopefully things will make more sense when I get back from work.

My friends playing the PS3 beta tell me it's fun but incredibly laggy and glitchy. Given these are Battlefield vets, for them to say that things must be pretty bad...

Is it just the PS3 version that's like that?

We were supposed to receive an E-Mail over 6 hours ago. That was delayed to a timeframe that started 2 hours ago and actually ended 15 minutes ago. There has been no new information as to when we will actually receive our keys.

There's also a 3D option in the Options settings of the beta. Gonna try that out when I get home. Curious to see their implementation.

I got my Origin pre-order code...or maybe Alpha participation, if we really get keys for that?

If I get two I'll share with some poor soul.

pre-ordered on Origin first day it was available, still no key, lol. At least I'm torrenting the client. With my crappy internet speed I needed to download this in advance to make any use whatsoever of early access.
