so if it works you just login on origin befor buying it ?

just wondered how its tied to your account

It's tied to your account because the payment screen either says login with your origin account, or create a new account. You need to log in with your origin email. I didn't have origin running when i was at the checkout, but i got a confirmation email immediately and it updated on battlelog immediately , then i switched origin on and went to war.

For those of you who can't get it working with a debit card, try a credit card. You can put whatever address you want in the address fields as long as the card holder name matches. It says this iirc on the chekout page.

Games down under are expensive when I was living there few years back my mate brought madden for 115 dollars

The kick in the teeth however is that its advertised as AU$50 on the origin store for Aus PC gamers. so the same price !

Ye im getting random bouts of low or no audio from time to time and sometimes losing directional sounds also seem to lose a lot of bullet effects when being fired at especially when a chopper is firing at me on the ground.
Nothings changed setting wise on my end (headphones and enhanced stereo) gets frustrating being shot when you have no idea where it came from.

Typical dice fix things that dont need fixing and break other stuff that wasnt broken........

Yes, had random sound issues as well.

Also had problems when joining a full server, it won't let me join a queue. :confused:

i spent to much money on the wireless logitech 930 headset, all i can say is wow... can hear everything around me and pin point sounds. im sure any good headset will do, but before i just had stereo and the difference is night and day.

I've got that headset. It's really light and comfy too.

Have you guys got a teamspeak or mumble server going (or something similar)? I've realised that BF3 on your own is a massively pants experience and my usual crowd aren't always on when I am. I'm a **** player but pretty good at doing whatever my squad tells me to!

We seem to have lost the queue completely. Was trying to get onto the OcUK server and was full...F5, F5,...

How can i do the india trick for cheaper premium?

Keep reading things and getting lost like which vpn serivce to download :confused:

Kurisu Makise · 7 Jun 2012 at 15:21

iv done the indian thing for around £15 but i cant find the download codes to put in origin

liamcrane · 7 Jun 2012 at 15:25

Is there any reason why i cant select any regions to filter when searching for servers in battlelog? Keep getting errors coming up down the side of battlelog using IE9

Neil79 · 7 Jun 2012 at 15:41

Anyone NOT purchased premium yet?

~>Dg<~ · 7 Jun 2012 at 15:46

me

dont need it tbh

only reason im thinking of getting it is of close quarters and wit proxy its only few quid more.

thing is heard that ea might be banning soon for all those that used proxxies or just refunding them . so gunna sit back and play as normal.

not in any rush

This thread gives a highly disproportionate view. As the people posting are those likely to still be playing the game and therefore more likely to buy Premium.

I do believe though that the overall player numbers for BF3 have declined fairly significantly, so EA's potential revenue from Premium will be far less than say if they actively supported the community with timely patches etc.
