Game.co.uk still not shipped order or charged Card.

Will cancel I think.

If I Pre-Order on origin now do I still get Karkand DLC and PWP?

Yes. Right up to the official launch day in the uk counts as a pre-order.

You guessed wrong!

Grenades and melee mapped to my Razer Copperhead without issue.

I think someone asked an Origin rep and they said the limited edition is only coming down on the 2nd November.

Expecting my game to be deliverd some time tomorrow off Game. Being a man who loves his family I thought i'd best warn them whats about to happen. Best way at the minute is FB.

Voila -

My dear wife Mandy, lovely daughter Emilie 4 dogs Lola, Nellie, Tinkerbell and Herbie 3 Cats, Tabby, Mollie and Milly and 4 Tortoises Ashtry 1, ashtray 2, ashtray3, and ashtray 4, I love you all very much but tomorrow the postman should deliver BattleField 3 for the official Uk launch on the 28th.

I'll be locking myself in the computer room and setting up a liquid feeding system for when the food supplies are no longer in arms reach from my keyboard. I'll have a bucket setup for waste and a camel back for drinks. If you hear screaming and shouting don't worry ! If you hear maniacal laughing for long periods of time, don't worry. If you smell something horrible coming under the door, don't worry, it just means the bucket has over flowed and i can't get out of my chair to empty it.

I should be gone for a week, maybe longer if my team needs me. If i'm still in there after two weeks then don't worry, it just means i've enterd the Battlefield matrix and i'm living off my body fat by that point. Remember though that even though BF3 has become my lover, my friend, my drug, my addiction, I still love you all and i shall see you again once the battle has ended.

Yours forever 95th- RooSe

I wonder how she'll take it considering we've been married 20 years

Looks like the offer is still there. I guess you can always ask their customer support

Has anybody had their Amazon preorder shipped? Using First Class delivery option and it hasn't been sent. I won't be able to play it over the weekend as I'm away so I was hoping to be able to play it on Thursday. Might cancel my preorder and just get it the same way you guys have.

Oh. Well the official release in the UK is Friday but we're pro and activated with a Korean proxy. Check page 962 on how to do this.

It's out on Friday in the UK. The guys who are playing it are using the trick on p962 to trick Origin into thinking they're in somewhere it has already been released.

EDIT: Derp.

Has it been confirmed either way if ranks are reset on Friday?

For any crossfire users that are trying to remove the CAP3 profiles and BSOD'ing.

Remove the GPU drivers first, then from device manager uninstall the graphics cards completely. Reboot, install the 11.10 preview 3 drivers, job done.

Basically from my testing I believe it to be an in use driver that causes the BSOD during the CAP3 removal, removing the cards from device manager effectively stops that particular driver from being in use.

Hope that helps someone.
