Well I might pick up Premium now, as it is all on offer on Origin. It is pretty confusing what you actually get though!

Basically you get the following.

Premium dog tags
Premium assignments
Prioritized queuing for servers
Premium knife
Early access to the next dlc release.

Thats just off the top of my head, so there may well be other additions.

That is premium, which is £24, and for £3 more you get the base game and a multiplayer shortcut pack(whatever that is).

Seems like I would be better off buying the premium edition, but as I already have the base game, I can't! As it stands, Premium edition for £26 is a great deal, but it makes premium for £23 look a bit of a worse deal

Me and punch can always play if ya short Joe! We r around all weekend!

JGStonedRaider · 21 Feb 2013 at 21:23

Defo Westie, love to have you and punch onboard. I just hope I can play, BT are fixing my local exchange

Nothing as bad, a few years ago, on the 12th of july, (aka the mad season over here). Some of the local nutters tried to burn the exchange. No net or phone access for a week due to the damage.

Oh dear, its been quite a while since i have been on BF3, thankfully had a copy of the game on discs otherwise it would have been god knows what (20gb??) plus another 16gb of d/ling map packs, all with a 11mb connection.

All because i want to test my b-grade 7950 properly.

Code:

How much of a jump i will see from my 6950 2gb version remains to be seen.
Providing that the only thing wrong with my b-grade card was that there was no video cable.

Fingers crossed

Will be a very nice increase in performance. The 7950 and gtx 670 are pretty similair in performance. I run bf3 on maximum settings at 1920x1200, averages 70fps. Albeit ive got a pretty hefty oc on the card, surpasses a stock 680. The 7950 is a great clocker as well.

Sounds great. I'll put a post up on the forum. I should also be hosting a mixed teams (up to 32 man) friendly 247 & friends / regulars / OcUK'ers scrim on our old server THIS Sunday if anyone is interested. Say hello on our forum CQ247.CO.UK

How does 8 meet for 8.30 start sound this eve? I think we have managed 8 players.

Should be able to, dunno how many of our better players will be around tho. There would be no point us doing 5vs5 if we just have our regs. 8vs8 would work better if we don't have our stronger players...Up to you but Friday sounds good.

I should be able to make it tonight if you need people. Afraid i'm just a measly reg though

Can't get on CQ247 whilst at work.
Its MexicanSeafood btw

Sin_Chase · 22 Feb 2013 at 14:36

On a night shift tonight otherwise would have been interested in joining.

I'm on a nightshift Sunday too

Westie · 22 Feb 2013 at 17:25

What maps tonight Joe? Do u guys only play city maps?

JGStonedRaider · 22 Feb 2013 at 18:00

We haven't decided yet tbh Westie. Bit of a last min thing. I imagine the maps will be city maps...

Knowing them and knowing us I imagine we'll choose from Metro, Seine, Bazaar. However we would LOVE to do one map with vehicles ideally, up to TFU.

Will prob only be able to fit just you in tonight but get you and punch for sunday? Hell all are invited Sunday so anyone who wants to.

_Jimlad_ · 22 Feb 2013 at 19:07

good luck chaps, i will be around for the next one

That's a negative on the vehicle map. Our lot would much prefer inf only.

JGStonedRaider · 22 Feb 2013 at 19:17

Inf only is all good, what map you want?

I just need to pull my finger out and sort us a vehicle war against DFA agan so I can go Heli hoe'ing.

BigChief · 22 Feb 2013 at 19:29

Baz to start with?

JGStonedRaider · 22 Feb 2013 at 19:49

sounds good....seine as well or metro?
