a quick bf3 question, and an origin pre-order question!

kinger8938 · 15 Aug 2011 at 17:40

Hey guys!

im definatly getting bf3 on the pc and am tempted by the origin preorder due to early beta access and now a free game (dead space 2, mass effect 2 or MoH)

i was just wondering, is it like ordering from Game, where they dont take the money until the release of the game (or obviously dispatch in with the physical item from Game), or will i need to pay now upfront?

and onto bf3

after seeing the alpha footage i am excited

however was wondering if the skyscrapers can be totally levelled like a normal building can in bfbc2? i saw a cool clip of some dudes popping some c4 inside a towerblock building and jumping out and blowing it to hell but not seen the buildings actually fall?

btw this isnt a complaint as i know it was alpha build and ill be happy with anything battlefield! was just curious!

thanks!

Will most likely pay up front like Steam is, tempted to check out the offer myself, DS2 would be cool to have on PC

You pay upfront. I already ordered from Origin.

Try and get yourself a discount code too, either a £10 birthday discount (100% works, did it myself) or a 20% discount code by asking EA support.

thanks for the tip Aedus, yea deadspace 2 is one ive wanted to pick up but not in any hurry so would work well with this offer

When I go to preorder it, it doesn't offer me a free game?

How did you get the birthday discount?

read it there, may be an email thing but unsure! only just read this article myself so will wait to be sure its legit, maybe if anyones preordered, they could confirm this

Cheers, it'll only be worth ordering on Origin if I can get a discount and free game, otherwise retail copy is cheaper

Well I just signed into EA chat and asked them for the 20% off, they gave me the code straight away very friendly and took the cost down to £31.00.

Actually theyve said it will be somewhat randomised in sp, like a guy might attack you with a knife on some run throughs and not on others. So its scripted but with an element of randomness in it.
