Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Man, i am WELL CHUFFED! A few months back, there was the announcement of Green man gaming, and they were giving, ARMA II, Sniper Ghoust warrior and some other crappy game. All that was required was to sign up for an account, enter the free keys and you got those games for free.

I've just visited the site again and noticed they had BF3 LE for £32. I traded in the free games they gave me, and now i'm only paying £17.10 for BF3. It would have been a bigger discount had i got ARMA II and traded that in as well, but they ran out of free keys at the time so i had to go without.

GMG are offering something different at the mo and IMO are selling digital content as it should be, if the trade ins catch on Steam/origin could find itself in trouble at these prices.

Remember you could probably use quidco and get another 8% cash back on that, and mibbe even a referral

what are these GMG trade-ins? You can 'return' keys you bought from them for discounts?

They were doing a free giveaway back in July. If you signed up for them, you can now trade them back into GMG and get your discount.

Thanks for that ANONANON, with all the games I've bought the grand total of £1 greenmangaming comes to £10

Beta had memory leaks mate.

Got a link to this? There's a big difference between system RAM memory leaks which are fairly common and VRAM memory leaks.

TBH I can quite easily see BF3 being the most VRAM intensive game there is, considering games that are doing a lot less visually are easily consuming more than 1300MB.

joystiq's review is very interesting and almost exactly what everyone predicted: poor SP, incredible MP

gettothechopper · 24 Oct 2011 at 08:38

IGN has a PC review too

pretty much same outcome as the joystiq one

BaDBoY_uK · 24 Oct 2011 at 08:38

The SP will what it is with any game meant to be played ONLINE! It looks good. It'll be good for me when the NET is down
