Battlefield 3 - 64 Player Multiplayer Trailer

The EA Downloader keeps angrily telling me it needs an important update. I'm assuming that means Origin, so I'm just ignoring it.

It's been a pain in the ass the whole time anyway - I'm pretty sure I only installed it to play The Sims 3.

Post by **Lord_Mountbatten** » 22 Sep 2011, 10:52

I installed it to play a free copy of Mass Effect 2. I hated the downloader so much that I went and bought a copy on Steam, and have yet to regret it.

That's how much it sucks.

I think I installed the EA download manager for Spore... Oh well. Can't wait for the BF3 beta though, will get to see if my computer can run the game without lag.

Post by **MrJKapowey** » 22 Sep 2011, 12:47

I actually have no idea if I have it...

If it was needed to play Spore then I do, and have never actually used or noticed it.

I really don't see what the fuss is all about with using Origin. I've had it installed for a while, and it's not a bother at all. Hell, I remember being required to install Steam when Half-Life 2 was released, and I was really apprehensive about an internet service that could analyse my computer, advertise new games and force me to be connected to the internet at all times. Waitaminute....

Besides, I really want to play BF3 on the PC so I can experience 64 player Conquest battles. Anyone else want to have fun with me?

Ooooh...look! More footage of Operation Metro in Rush mode!

As I said, my issue is the fact I wasn't even prompted to agree to the terms, they just said "Oh it's Origin now".

But if my system can handle it, I'm sure the prospect of Lord Mountbatten on the field will raise morale.

Can't wait for the beta! Get to see if my PC can handle the epicness.

i didnt buy Medal of Honour so no beta for me!

Post by **Sti_Jo_Lew** » 23 Sep 2011, 12:30

Wait, what? I thought it was an open beta! FFFFFF

i think MoH was just for early beta...

Post by **lionheart_1** » 23 Sep 2011, 19:12

If you've pre-ordered BF3 on Origin, or if you've bought the limited edition of MoH, you'll get early access to the beta on the 27th. It'll be open to everyone else on the 29th. The beta will run until the 10th of October.

Oh, ok thank god. Vallorn scared me for a minute there.

Post by **MrJKapowey** » 24 Sep 2011, 07:05

So, what bonuses do you guys have with your pre-order copies?

I think I've got Physical Warfare, SPECACT and Back to Karkand from AmazonUK.

Do they have boats in BF3..?

They'll be RHIBs (rigid-hull inflatable boats) and the AAV-7A1 amphibious assault vehicle.

Uh, no it isn't.

There are some limitations; you're exempt from these restrictions if you happen to live in Quebec, Russia, Switzerland or the Member States of the European Union,

-_- i was generalising...

(i "Love" how the UK gets lumped under "EU Member States" like we dont have any national identity anymore... oh wait)

Post by **Lord_Mountbatten** » 26 Sep 2011, 18:26

So any other EU nation except Britain has no national identity?

Not like we have anything to be proud of.

Post by **Sti_Jo_Lew** » 26 Sep 2011, 23:34

You have an overwhelming love of tea. That ought to count for something.

Post by **MrJKapowey** » 27 Sep 2011, 01:29

Things I'm proud of as a British person:

- The Armed Forces - The accent - The tea and crumpets - Lionhead Studios - Keen UKSF - The Empire (to an extent) -

Things I'm not proud of:

- Large swathes of our history - slavery - concentration camps - genocide - The rest of the extent of the empire -

You forgot the Creative Assembly..

Post by **MrJKapowey** » 27 Sep 2011, 07:00

Really, cool. I had no idea they were British.

Post by **SneakyPie** » 27 Sep 2011, 07:42

Sigh.

That beta for preorders needs to hurry up or something.

Unless I goofed somewhere and have simply missed it.

Post by **SneakyPie** » 27 Sep 2011, 09:23

Beta for preorders are live.
