Check your email/junk mail associated to the account. I'm still waiting for mine, preordered a month ago

Same boat.

Was the whole reason I pre-ordered, really. Kinda BS how much a clusterfuck this's been.

Guess I'll go for a run.

Anyone else getting a lot of tearing / weird clipping on PC? The game looked fine during alpha , so maybe it's just the drivers.
Click to expand...


Let's see...

1. White tearing.
2. Battlelog sucks ass.
3. Back key gets stuck and the player keeps on going back. When you die, the back button is still held/pressed. No, it ain't my keyboard or else I wouldn't be able to type. S S S S S S S. See, i'm typing with the damn button. Setting controls to default doesn't fix it either.
4. A generic game error was reported, please try again. ( code: 1 )

This game seems like a disaster. Horrible "I'm dead before anyone actually shoots me" lag despite a 60ms ping, glitchy movement, underground prone, bouncing crouch, and unappealing gameplay on a terrible map. 64 player Caspian Border Conquest would have been a much better choice on the PC.

Question: I have MoH LE disc... but I got it from someone else. If I buy the online pass, you think I'd be able to get into the PS3 beta?

Can't join any games on PC, is something up? Just sits joining server...
Click to expand...

Yes. Something is up. Battlelog is up. This is worse than playing a game on Facebook Poker.

Guess what? You have to MANUALLY score through all servers so that it can sort the full/empty servers. If you don't, it'll just sort the servers you see. Bullshit!

Anyone know how old of a build the beta is for the 360?
The frame rate bottoms out in the last part of the level, and I've had a good deal of visual glitches (green screen flickers, getting stuck in iron sights).
I seem to get stuck on geometry as well when the jump animation doesn't want to kick in.

Some quick impressions:

1. Battlelog is OK as a stats hub, but as the server browse? AWFUL.
2. These servers are buggy as hell. 4 times dropped connection, which brings me to my next point
3. Being disconnected from the game hard crashes the game, since there is no in game menus... WTF
4. Cannot access options while not in game
5. Cannot access options when not alive... This is an AWFUL implementation

Thats all for now

What were you expecting?

With the amount of hype surrounding this game? ANYTHING.

I don't see how EA can put a fresh coat of paint on the same game and come out of the gates swinging and saying, "Yeah, we're finally going to dethrone COD!". I'll wait til I get some hands on time with the retail version, but so far this is a pass for me and a major disappointment. :(

Are DICE still sending out codes to people who got the "beta priority access" email? I still haven't received anything yet. :(

No. According to the support forums all emails have went out.

I just realized my email wasn't even verified (Even though I bought multiple items from Origin) Maybe that's why some people didn't get their keys?

So, I got the early access email, but I can't see BF3 via their instructions. I can see it when I search for it but when I try to download it, says "Content cannot be accessed on your account."

What the hell?! PSN Store failing me or something else? Anyone who can help?

Man why is the collision so bad in this game?!? Also there's tons of clipping!

This wasn't this bad on alpha, now it's a fucking mess, that's my only complaint so far, it's really annoying, I hope this gets fixed by release since it really makes the game feel sluggish as hell.

Any word on the servers running Caspian Border unlocking? I am dying to play that map but all of the servers set to it are locked.

Also, I don't think Battlelog is bad at all, in fact it is an improvement in my eyes. It runs 100% better than any DICE Server browser did on my computer ever.

I really really like it so far. Wish my system ran it a little better but we will see how it is when the full game releases. My only gripe with the beta right now is the fact that friendly fire is on...why. If I even remotely surprise a teammate I usually get a few rounds to the face

Game always bugs out on me when I try to full screen. Can't see shit in windows mode. Game also freaks out whenever I try to confirm setting changes.

This doesn't feel any less broken than alpha for me =/

This picture I took of the 360 version pretty much sums up my impressions:

Happens on PC as well, collision and clipping are fucking terrible.

Without it this would feel like a really polished beta.

I'm like 99.9% sure my email is verified, I have no idea why I didn't receive an email with a code. You don't have to be signed up for Gun Club, right?..

The community manager hinted at releasing something big tomorrow for the PC crowd if things go well today. Could be Caspian Border or could be something else, have to wait to find out.

Yeah, that last one was bugging the shit out of me during my first match.

Heh, it's annoying now, but I give it a pass since this is only a beta. Now in retail...

I really hope it is Caspian Border; I think the community would agree with me in saying that map will be a major deciding factor in keeping their pre-orders or not. I hope DICE didn't mess up.
