Tbh, they'll get more money from that deal.

So it's legit? And Origin let me download from their site?

Guess I will by it then as its £54 for the whole lot.

How long did you all wait for your key of simplycdkeys? Still waiting! Want to load it up and get shooting!

It has been said many times that keys will be sent 1 day before the official release, it is also stated in their website.

What is simplecdkeys?

Do I just get given a key and then enter it into Origin?

Does that allow me to download the game within Origin? If so, how come this works? It is soooo much cheaper. Why does Origin allow it?

Yes you get a key and activate+download from Origin. No idea why it is so cheap though, it is a great deal which I couldn't resist either

Hopefully we will get our keys in time. Also, reviews on trustpilot are excellent for this site.

So does anyone know when the beta ends? Can't find a date o.o

I think on the 15th.

A quick thought I had last night that I've only just remembered, isn't the points required to hit level 1 like 20 odd thousand in the beta? That's much higher than normal isn't it? I assume it will be less in the release?

I think my 2500k @ 4.5 is bottlenecking now. I keep getting random drops in FPS down to about 8-10! CPU max usage is 97.8%. Booo

Skynet5 · 3 Oct 2013 at 15:38

many many more games will want HT or 6 cores now. This isn't the first game either.

Something else is going on there, sounds like the game is paging to disk.

I have no idea what that means

Yes, the game is in Beta and so there are teething problems with some configurations. Expect them to be ironed out over the following fortnight.

move to 8 core amd and w8 you'll have best performance possible

or just wait for them to fix the bugs as your pc will be faster anyway

Everyone needs to base the ability of their machines solely on the performance of the beta and buy new hardware accordingly. QUICK! I need dual 8 core CPU's and a 7970 on windows 8.1!

Looking forward to beta tomorrow, a few beers and some destruction

Is anyone else getting similar results to me with a 2500k? Heres a screenshot of my CPU Usage after a quick game. Settings on auto which is a mixture of ultra and high.
