Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

Good to know that something this year is living up to expectations!

Frankly, this is a ridiculous few gaming weeks.

Forza 4 is fantastic.
BF3 is fantastic.
No doubt Skyrim will be fantastic.
Uncharted 3 looks fantastic.

Guys if I buy from green man gaming now, can I download it via Origin and unlock it using proxy and play online?

Yep, i've done the same thing this afternoon/evening. Bought the game from GMG and had the code instantly.

Even medium settings look buff.

Oh my, just played the first level before bed and I am VERY happy. Got two days off in a row, well timed fortune!

Pity I have an important job interview on wed and a presentation to prepare for it. Conflict!!!!

Not if you are in Korea.

I'm very surprised they have said that. They surely have a contractual obligation with the retailers to release the game in the UK on Friday. I foresee EA getting some backlash over this.

I was dissapointed during the beta. I thought they had mucked it all up.

How bloody wrong I was. 2 hours in and I know this is the true sequel to BF2 I have been waiting for.

It is actually better than I thought and I have not even scratched the surface. Not even bothered with a jet or heli yet having too much fun on the ground.

Just out of interest, what would you say has changed so much since the beta to make it feel like a true BF2 sequel?

The game does indeed look very nice, running it on high here for better fps compared to ultra, but it still looks fantastic.

Not sure, a lot of people are having emails about it in the Battlelog forums so i decided to contact the support.

Its not for us to worry about

Bugs ironed out. Gameplay is smoother. We have all the big maps with all the vehicles. Vehicles feel right. Massive battles. I just feels like BF2, just more modern with all the eye candy. The graphics are really good. The sound is epic.

Heck, even the hitboxes fell right.

 

[elrasho]

Yes. GMG will give you a key. You stick it in origin. You download. You do this. You play.

Thanks mate Also do you get those guns aswell that are unlocked from the start? Theres no mention of them on GMG

Be interested to see what kinda fps badboy is getting with trifire,

 

[Gackt]

Why are all the weapons and attachments unlocked? :/

 

[JamesM]

anyone having issues with crossfire?

Enabled and the screen just flickers and scrolls downwards, disable it and it works fine?
