Battlefield 3

What's really annoying is that pre-ordering on Origin only lets you start downloading at midnight :rolleyes:

First time I've ever bought a game at launch :cool:
 
"Origin activation is down at the moment. We are aware of the issue and working on it. Thank you for your patience. See news for more info."

Been like that for about ten hours now. I can't see you playing it tonight.

Hmm, got onto a server. Got killed a lot, got booted off and now can't get back on

Update PB.
 
how big is the download?

It didn't tell me this in obvious way so I don't actually know. My broadband is pretty fast but not 50MB or anything (Think Im on 20MB), so I doubt the actual download size was 11.4GB as it only took around an hour and a half to download.

I wonder if you have the beta does it do a in place upgrade?

It is 11.5GB, it tells you in Origin when you are downloading it together with your rate.
 
At midnight the date-based protection came off as expected, but then as also expected the origin activation problem prevented me getting any further. But as of 1am I managed to get further, although haven't actually managed to play the game yet so I think there are still issues.
 
picked up my copy tonight but have been playing my housemates that arrived from amazon on wednesday, it really is the best fps in years, a massive raising of the bar and a finally something that actually makes use of modern pc's power.

how are you console kiddies enjoying it, is it as ugly as some are making out on the xbox, cos from what i saw it seemed they did as good a job as one can hope to expect on the consoles, the ps3 version in particular looked pretty good.
 
managed to cxx my pre order with Amazon... but they still send me this :D
