one thing i noticed from the leaked footage is that you still can't move when there are not enough players on a server. Which means that we won't be able to practice flying on empty servers...

thats just stupid

guys, no one will be playing it on PC before 4PM tomorrow.

load up your VPN's and play with time zones etc to see how early you can get it, then count the hours from your PC's time to the release date shown. i guarantee it will be 20hours and 35 minutes

True, we all get it at the same time, 00:00 Korean Time. If we use Korean IP addresses of course.

o.0 i tried the Indonesia trick and changed my time-zone and it showing up as 27 October o.0 just really confused now lol

I doubt Origin will ban anyone for an early unlock since you've paid for the game itself and EA are gonna need all the users they can get!

I unlocked Deus Ex early on Steam early and forgot to use the VPN a couple times after. Nothing happened at all.

The only problem with it unlocking at 4pm UK time tomorrow is I'll miss Deal or No Deal. NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The no mentioning of competitors rule really is the most flouted rule of them all isn't it.

But no I have not had my money taken yet.

Game took money out of my account around 3 hours ago, I hope they start shipping tomorrow.

They've charged me for it and sent me the payment email as well. Hopefully that means ours are sitting in the "ready for delivery" pile now!

Nice one, cheers

Can't believe there's no LAN functionality in BF3 though! :eek:

That's awful.

Don't start THAT discussion again.

We are allowed to mention most of these stores anyway btw.

Not really, it's barely used in the grand scheme of things. If you want a LAN game you can always just connect to a server with a password on it.

Just had a chat with EA live support that for those who haven't been charged for their Origin Pre-Order, they will be on the release date.

If they have insufficient funds in their bank account then EA/Origin will simply cancel their pre-order instead of delaying/warning about payment :eek:

I better check my account :eek:

There's such a thing as LAN parties!

You will need to rent a server if you want to set a password for a private LAN party. Very lame.

It is a bit weird how battlelog opens the 25th yet the korean unlock is the 24th. Just have to wait and see what happens i suppose. :confused:

But they are far between. And hiring a server means everyone just has to chip in an extra £0.50 - £1, no big deal.

-11, will do -12 though.

No need download anything to fool origin, simply use a proxy server in windows with the below addresses for Korea.

Can you explain how to do this? I can find 'configure proxy server' in Windows 7 but it's nothing alike what you have there.
