Oooh you went there

Hey I'm not knocking it

If I didn't have a child I'd love to live at home and live cheaply.

Butt if that's all he's ever known, he doesn't know what it's like to live with a woman and get nagged to come off the Xbox ... lol

Is the unlock a 1 time occurrence or does it check each time? i.e if it unlocks with the Korean VPN then we no longer need the VPN active for further launches of the game.

If it is the same as Fifa which I think it is, it will be only 1 time then you can remove the VPN and load the game as much as you want after that with no more checking.

I would guess once you unlock it that would be it, but it's too early to tell, might not work at all.

lmao I am taking the weekend off work and if I told my work mates why I was taking them days off they would rip the * outta me...I can take it though so rip away

Considering we have been waiting for BF3 for over 6 years I can't blame people for being excited and taking days off work, if it was COD then yeah that would be sad.

i dont know if its been posted but the new nvidia drivers are out

 

[HaggisUK]

Battlelog has an update in progress, hopefully getting ready for the Korea launch in a couple of hours.

I envisage the free Korean VPN's going boom boom.

I can imagine these VPNs crashing later. I bet they have got no idea what's coming at 4pm lol.

On the PC ver it looks like:

- Joystick support for planes and choppers is available
- No VOIP is a major downer
- The battlelog system is great
- 40-60fps+ in 1080p, Ultra settings on a 580SLI rig on 64 player maps
- Destruction is not as effective as BC2 due, to the different type of building structures used

i dont know if its been posted but the new nvidia drivers are out

From neogaf:

New nVidia Drivers for Retail BF3! (released 10-24-2011)

-[148mb W7 64-bit] GeForce 285.62 WHQL
-[107mb W7 32-bit] GeForce 285.62 WHQL

 

[Astaeri]

No VOIP is a plus for me, like anybody uses it anyway? Mumble/TS/Ventrilo and Skype dominates it.

 

[jas72]

I can't create a master id and what is chartbeat?

I have tried more than 20 different naming combinations but can't get one to work I always get the message

Cette ID Master n'est pas valide ou existe déjà

Oh and it's in french because playstation doesn't do english in belgium (don't ask)

 

[Tackle_Berry]

No VOIP is a massive result no annoying people that need muting every 5mins and you can always use Ventrilo or TS.

Battlelog has some sort of voip, but I think it's only for people you invite and not everyone in the game etc.

Lets hope there are no hacks that can bypass PB, I remember on BC2 the first guy to get rank 50 was a hacker with some crazy k/d like 100+.

No doubt there will be though

That's stats hacking though

They can hack the leader board all they want. So long as they don't actually. Best in game I don't care

I dont know why people bother with leaderboards. They always get hacked, and Devs dont do a lot to clean them up!
