Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

they sent me 4 emails

And what, you having problems with it too or they just sent a ton of emails?

I don't have any email saying I can DL the game yet.

In my Games it only shows the Beta and older BF games I already had long ago.
 
Yeah, same here. BF3 LE has been hanging out in my Origin since August. The e-mail basically said "ok go ahead and open Origin and click download." No special codes or anything.

Also that kid in the video from last page, something is just wrong with his face. Looks like some kind of mongoloid or birth defect. Needless to say I was thoroughly creeped out and couldn't watch it based off that alone.
 
"Who cares about destructive environments? What am I going to do, sit in a corner and blow holes in the wall and watch the debris fall?" LOL, that guy fails so hard. Hope he enjoys his $60 copy-n-paste job..
 
Any AMD Eyefinity crossfire users run driver 11.9 during BF3 beta? How did it work?

The preview drivers designed for BF3 crash for me in Eyefinity. Just wondering if I will be screwed on release week as I am forced to run 11.9 CAP3 instead of 11.10 Preview 3.

Found posted on NeoGaf.

For a 2nd there I though these were screens from RAGE
 
^ These are on Xbox judging by the "Y to switch primary weapon," which means it'll look better on the PC. And those don't look too bad actually.

EDIT:

Yep. Also on NeoGaf. The thing that stands out the most in the shots below is the guy's face. PC has much more detail.

Since the 360 version is the only one that isn't using HD Textures by default I just assumed everyone would know it was the 360 version.

To my knowledge you don't even have the option of using the "Non-HD" textures on PS3 and PC

I think it's just the PC that doesn't have the option-- the texture pack comes on the Blu-Ray for PS3, so there is no separate disc. Looks like the PC textures are even higher detail though...
 
Decided to pre-order off origin and cancle my eb games order. Was able to start preloading the game instantly after buying it.

Put my preorder money from eb games towards my swtor collectors instead lol

Maybe it's just me, but I was thinking the PC would look a ton better than those comparison shots between the two. I wonder what settings the PC was on. Seems they are getting a lot out of a 2-300 xbox.

Are you sure you bought it with the right account? Is the email confirmation of the order when you bought it in that email account? If it is and it's not showing up, queue up for EA Chat and quote your order number.
 
Who cares about consoles anyways. I'd love to see console players up against PC players. They would get destroyed with those stupid game-pad controllers and low resolution.
 
mmm

think i might need to buy a joystick lol just for the flying game play
 
I wouldn't say that, it's just more publicized.

Nah, these days it's pretty common. Especially since consoles have hard drives nowadays...you can apparently just run images off those, lol.

I would argue that console piracy is less publicized...

I reeeeeeally hope there is decent joystick support. It's probably my last concern regarding the whole game. Everything else looks to be lining up nicely.

I probably won't even touch the SP campaign for the first year of this game. lol

Mouse binds and Vertical Fly better be fixed or I'll rage for the first time.
I have confidence in DICE though.
