I tried again this morning after setting up an account on Monday and this time got accepted.

Will be installing tonight and having a shot.

SO you created an EA account on Monday?

Neil79 · 27 Jul 2011 at 12:40

Figured out why

" NOT IN ALPHA "

New soldier names cannot be created until the full release

, Don't worry about it Trigger i'll add friends when i get a new user id at the full release

Nuts, seems like everyone else is getting a key apart from me

Garonazz · 27 Jul 2011 at 12:42

Aw god, I just joined an Alpha server and the FPS lag at times makes it unplayable.

Hope they customise it cos BC2 runs flawlessly 80+FPS full settings.

Tom|Nbk · 27 Jul 2011 at 12:42

Game is so good.

trigger-happy · 27 Jul 2011 at 12:43

alright I downloaded it all! time to play!

opethdisciple · 27 Jul 2011 at 12:44

I think possibly some of you need to look at BF3 in a different light.

It may not live up to your preconceptions other wise.

Maybe its not just BF2 in Dx11.

Look at the game from a neutral perspective, not comparing to the 'legendary' BF2.

Any way BF2 and 2142, where two games I tried and disliked..... I tried the demos and wasnt impressed.

BFBC2 however I loved, so there you have it.

I think BF3 looks good. Anyway even if it doesnt live up to your personaly BF2 standards treat it like another installment in the series enjoy it for what it is!

Nope there are plenty of us out there that don't have one, I'm sure there are plenty of people with accounts that have randomly been given access as well that will never realise, or play it either

Just got into the alpha...my Army WiFi network is slow as hell. Can I log onto my Origin account on a friends computer and download the alpha on there then transfer the files over to my pc?

Garonazz · 27 Jul 2011 at 12:45

The game is great. It's absolutely amazing and just as I thought it will.

Never in hell im cancelling my pre order.

Altho Alpha is buggy as hell and FPS lag can get to some people at times, I hope they optimize it for full release.

GTX 560 Ti and Phenom II X4 965 here.

Spawn on squad or spawn on squad leader seem to be server options as some servers I can squad spawn and others its leader only.

That's the card i've got but along with an i5 @ 4.5gig and 8GB ram.

Hopefully it'll run well.

I keep getting "sorry you do not meet the criteria"

Tried my old EA Account and created a couple of new ones too, still no luck
