Take the controller out.

Anyone who downloaded it early via a torrent site, can you get it to work?

I really don't like BF3, something about it just feels horrible.

Maybe it's the immense lag I get in every server but it just feels ******, even worse than BC2.

Yeah im serious.

Not really sure what to expect from the game in terms of performance and i have not really had anything to test the performance of it since i built it. (well replaced the old bits)

This will be a nice test. If its even slightly laggy i know i will get the hump

Nah you need to buy an i7 and get a 2nd gpu too.

Small point...the way the metal chainlink fences break apart looks like something out of Duke Nukem (original).

But I can't wait to get on this beta tonight, it looks like BF3 but with all the good bits of BC2 and much better graphics.

Sounds like a plan.

Though things were going too well...

We are unable to connect to EA servers to activate Battlefield 3 beta. Please try again later.

Edit: Oh thank god, 4 tries later it worked.

ninjabib · 29 Sep 2011 at 13:19

Yep i'm trying and trying but it won't download for me, too much pressure for Origin, shouldn't you all be at work???

Worked ok for me. You loaded the game up after installing?

I've seen people with quad cores 3ghz - 3.6ghz OC that are having good to great frame rates, but the GPU makes a huge difference in this game and a quad core+.

My GTX 260 sucks and has for awhile now, need a GTX 570 really

Finally Origin worked,dling now

.40 minutes till I can finally play this awesome game!
