ok so why give a "pc" game to console first ? please explain that . im all ears .

Its a Map Pack not a Game..

We've no idea how the exclusivity thing works so far, yeah it says exclusive 1 week first access on ps3 but that could just be the first console of the two to get it, seeing as COD seems to cater for the xbox getting everything first this might be EA's response to that.

And even if it is them getting it for a week of the 3 platforms, who really cares? A weeks not gonna kill anybody. So im still waiting to hear how you equate this with the game not being a true PC game first and foremost, as its the weirdest Argument ive ever read.

Those figures from the stats site only account for those that are signed up to the bfbcs site AFAIK.

I think that's the closest we're going to get to actual numbers? or does someone have a site where it tracks everyone.

Away man, someone must know!

Can anyone confirm if EA origin preorder money has come out? ive got nothing yet.

I am not sure though I don't think so.
Also noticed in Origin last night, in order history, my order keeps getting unsubmitted? I am guessing that as it is a preorder, it will keep doing that untill release and then take the payment.
Anyone else got the unsubmitted order thing in origin?

Who honestly cares? This is a PC gaming forum.

It doesn't matter any way, DICE have said PC is their lead platform so I couldn't care less if PS3 had more and get early access. The place to play it will be the PC with 64 players

Can have the DLC one month early for all I care, playing on consoles is such an inferior experience compared to playing on PC, 64 players v 24 there is no contest. I can happily wait a week for my 64 player karkand mayhem.

Well my actual order has been submitted. But everytime I login and log out of origin, another 'order unsubmitted' is created lol :mad:

I talked to EA support about it and they said it is a technical problem on their side which they will investigate.

From tomorrow onwards, only 1 month and 2 days left till the official release date for UK.

What kind of tweaking will be made to BF3 at this stage, you reckon ?

Mark my words. This game will be a buggy pile of **** when it's released

. I have learnt from experience. EA push their developers far too hard and they often don't get the games finished on time. The problems described from Gamefest and Eurogamer are exactly the same as the ones from the Alpha. I think DICE are chasing their tail and this thing won't be fixed properly until at least 1 month after launch. Just look at BF2, BF2142, BFBC2 - all buggy at launch.

~>Dg<~ · 24 Sep 2011 at 17:47

it will be bad first month and im not even going to rage (there will be mega rage on here though so get popcorn

)

i think well get probably two or three patches through beta and maybe one on release

my biggest worry is ea and servers they are the worst in the history of man kind at dealing with servers. people moan about 32 man servers oh its laggy imagine 64

gunna be some hard rage

WingZero30 · 24 Sep 2011 at 17:49

Yup, not to mention the dreaded driver issues

LeJosh · 24 Sep 2011 at 17:49

They'll underestimate server usage and they'll crap out. As they always do.

WingZero30 · 24 Sep 2011 at 17:52

Now that we have roughly one month left till final release, can anyone recall when BF3 was first mentioned in public?

It's amazing that it has been 4 years!! since people first heard and read BF3.

Now only one month to go!! :cool:

Neil79 · 24 Sep 2011 at 18:04

2007 then, almost spot on

Love how they said " fake " and " rumour " pretty much calling people liars
