[TouchMyBox]

Am I able to play this in North America yet?

Everybody on my origin friends list is playing.

 

[EviLore]

Fillin' up those bars!

 

[Anton Sugar]

Wait, so they officially released it today???

In response to the large amount of players using a Korean VPN today to play Battlefield 3 one day early, EA have sent out an email to all those who bought on origin that they can access the game today instead of tomorrow. This is great news and we can’t wait to see the swarm come on the battlefield. Hopefully this will mean that EA will change the release dates for the rest of the world.

Battlefieldo assuming wrong or can everyone access it?

 

[doctordoak]

The wait for Amazon to ship my PS3 copy is unbearable. I was hoping it'd be here by mid-afternoon tomorrow so I can "come down with a cold" at work.

 

[OG Kush]

I heard there was a multiplayer tutorial on consoles? Is there one on PC? One that actually teaches people how to fly properly?

 

[TouchMyBox]

Yeah, I got that email, but I'm still not allowed to play... what gives?

 

[Prodigal]

My friend is saying using that VPN method might lock you into that region's servers...any truth to this? Pretty sure he's full of it...

 

[Corky]

He's full of it, just loaded up battlelog and all those severs are swedish/and/or close proximity to me.

 

[REV 09]

is there a way to get rid of the Chat menu? it's huge and annoying. i'd rather not even have it.

 

[Kyaw]

Good lord. Just finished the main Campaign...

Just like the reviews said, nothing ground breaking but a thoroughly enjoyable ride of ups and downs.

Everything wrapped up nicely and many moments.

ONTO MULTIPLAYER!

 

[NIN90]

Can't get to the server browser.

500 Sorry, Something technical went wrong

EDIT: Huh, seems to work in Chrome tho.

GAF is your only friend now, he's wrong.

 

[stufte]

I wish I could use VPN to unlock my xbox copy sitting at gamestop to play it early.

 

[Spookie]

Man if Mirrors Edge 2 could look like that

Spoiler

Paris

level. Jesus.

 

[Arde5643]

No man, that's a replay.

He's been streaming replays ever since the beta ended.

Edit: this one is live, http://pt.twitch.tv/britishnoob

This one's a better stream - smoother and higher quality stream: http://www.own3d.tv/live/145507/cheami

 

[Cyrillus]

Finally got it working...thanks for the VPN suggestions to those who offered them!

 

[BoobPhysics101]

Been wondering that too. It's horrible.

You can change your Origin name.

HOLEEE SHIT... thanks

about time EA.

Man those narrow corridors on Grand Bazaar are a fuckin' blood bath.

 

[Dakota47]

Man those narrow corridors on Grand Bazaar are a fuckin' blood bath.

Same on Seine Crossing. Very tense.

 

[Stallion Free]

Why is it for that every awesome looking bit I have to deal with shit like this?

How long did it take you to finish single player?

 

[Kyaw]

How long did it take you to finish single player?

About 5-6 hours, i would say.

I need Mirror's Edge 2 on FB2... D:

 

[Hayvic]

Why is my guy wearing glasses? And why are they smudgy? I want to clean them! Other than that, great visuals!

Also 'don't power off the machine during saves" message popped up on my PC version. Cue outrage!

 

[Souljiro]

About 5-6 hours, i would say.

Seems short dunno I'll play it someday back to MP!

 

[Barrett2]

How is the Ps3 version?

 

[RoboPlato]

How is the Ps3 version?

It seems pretty good from what I've seen. I'll be picking it up tomorrow morning. All the versions of the game look and run great (as long as you install the HD textures on 360). DICE did a great job with this one.

 

[Oni Jazar]

I thought they fixed the large map it still sucks?

Yeah the effects are way overdone at times, even in multiplayer you sometimes can't see shit because of fancy effects blinding you.

 

[squidyj]

FFS, why did I order the physical copy and not the digital? I don't understand. There's no way I didn't order the digital... yet I didn't. :\ Now must wait.

You and me both.

So the guy had a "eating brb warning" and when he comes back he just leaves? My heart is broken =(

I'm mostly concerned about frame rate and screen tearing

 

[FStop7]

Be advised, this game gives me dozens of boners.

 

[BlindCommunication]

the things you do while waiting...

Console:

4 Flags
Seine Crossing (5 in CQ64)
Kharg Island (5 in CQ64)
Caspian Border (5 in CQ64)



3 Flags
Grand Bazaar (5 in CQ64)
Tehran Highway (4 in CQ64)
Damavand Peak (5 in CQ64)
Noshahr Canals (? in CQ64)
Operation Metro (? in CQ64)
Operation Firestorm (5 in CQ64)


from the videos and screenshots i saw, the map boundaries in Tehran Highway and Damavand Peak are the same on CQ64 and Console, the only difference is the amount of flags.

Thanks for the info, much more informative and interesting to me than the rest. And pretty worrying.... Now if we could get each map overview for both 32 players and 64 players Conquest...

He's been playing almost all day. He had to take a break sometime.

 

[Ikuu]

Looks like they've put in some good work after the beta release, seems to look and run much better for me.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Did anyone buy the game on GreenManGaming?


Do you get anything else besides Back To Karkand? Any physical warfare pack or something?

 

[Gui_PT]

No! NO! This is BF3 we're talking about! No breaks!

=(

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

I can't believe something as simple as a proxy with IE could work.

Thank you based Corea!

 

[ACE 1991]

So what are the best AMD drivers right now?

 

[The Faceless Master]

FIVE POINTS BABY, ALL IN A ROW!!!

choke the middle for maximum damage.

would have been great if you could just fly the chopper over the middle.

oh snap!

When I entered the key into Origin it said it included the Physical Warfare pack, I guess it isn't unlocked yet.

 

[Arment]

Seriously every person who kills me is an engineer. Haven't been using vehicles either.

I've been playing Assault all day mostly.

 

[KoruptData]

You don't need VPN. Just do this. Worked for me. Oh and don't forget to turn the proxy server off again after validating.

By turning off, just uncheck the box and erase the ip address? Thats what I did, I hope thats right, anyway I can tell im back my normal settings?

 

[zero margin]

Surprised so many people give a damn about the SP, maybe it's me but I look at those lost as throw aways next to the MP. Same with cod games.

Oh, for the love of god please change the thread title

 

[Broder Salsa]

Ah that must be how one of my squad members had gotten to the other side. I spawned on him on the other side and we owned all those poor bastards who couldn't find their own ass if they used both hands.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

My GTX570 just came in.

Installed.

My body is ready.

 

[childplease]

Game looks pretty good graphically but man it could look so much better.

I also want to punch the guy at dice who thought this was a good idea.

Cmon who thought blinding the player with their ugly sun glare effect would be a good idea.

 

[Dakota47]

I only unchecked the 'Use proxy server' box, I didn't erase the address. Didn't seem necessary. When I need to impersonate as a Korean again it might come in handy.
