Pardon my ignorance, but BF3 won't let me play yet until the 28th. How are you lot getting around that?
VPN into a time zone which has the game activated already, do the release day check. Deactivate VPN and play.
Lots of us did it on Monday with Korean IPs.
If I'm not simply owned as soon as I take off I'll just get tailed by someone (is it possible to get a rear view like in BF2?) and find it impossible to shake them. When I attempt the same I find it hard to regulate my speed so I normally just fly right past them :/
