Muted. Muted. Muted. Kicked by admin. Banned by admin. That guy was a douche.

On the other hand, the only person that should be spamming like that is the commander.

I was kicked from a server where I was the commander and I was giving the locations of all the bad guys. Admin's reason, spamming. So let me get this straight, a guy is sneaking around the outside of the map to take flags from the rear and no one response to the commanders warning that there is a guy about the rape us from behind.
 
In origin it says i have BF2 Armored Fury. Is that the full BF2 game with all expansion packs?

That's one of the expansions which are now free anyways. I have armored fury and euro force in Origin as well...carried over from the old EA DLM.
 
There is no way of telling how much time I spent playing Counter-Strike.

I just got perma banned from like the only decent Vietnam server for "hacking".
 
I honestly believe we will be getting Metro again...anything else would be icing on the cake.

Lol i have honestly never had such continual fun on one map before. I must have played Metro for 11 hours, and 10 of those in the Park, and i honestly could load it up and play it for another 11hrs..hell another 100hrs. I cant imagine what their new maps will be like, let alone the re-made BF2 maps, oh god i look forward too those. Freaking love BF3.
 
There was a dev tweet awhile back that said the beta would be conquest, and would not be metro. Now if it has jets/choppers in it remains to be seen.
 
Good to hear that we will get a taste of good ole BF conquest in the beta. Metro isnt bad but the park section started getting bored for me after 10-11 straight hours of it. The subway sections are outstanding though.
 
They managed to have jets in the browser-based Battlefield Play4Free. They should be able to manage it for a beta.
 
Pre-ordering on Origin gets you the beta a whole 2 days before everyone else....hardly a good reason to pay them full RRP for a digital download.

Ahh but 2 days in internet/gaming land is like 2 weeks in the real world. :D

I couldn't find that quote in the link you provided. Is it on that page or somewhere else?
 
Anyone recommend a good joystick or is just keyboard and mouse good enough for the flying you think?

Did anybody get their EA Gunclub email yet? I signed up Tuesday around 4:30 PM, almost noon here Thursday and still nothing
 
Just saw this on Voodoo Extreme and think its some bullshit that the UK players are getting more for pre-ordering:

Battlefield 3 Limited Edition Gamers who pre-order Battlefield 3 are assured a copy of the Limited Edition, which includes the deep and immersive Back to Karkand post-launch digital expansion pack at no extra charge. With Back to Karkand, players can wage all-out war on four of the most celebrated maps from Battlefield 2™ including Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman and the Sharqi Peninsula, all stunningly re-created using the power of Frostbite 2. Gamers who choose to purchase the digital expansion separately can do so for £11.99.

Select retailers are also offering Battlefield 3 pre-order customers the following promotional items*:

• Physical Warfare Pack -- Storm the battlefield armed with a set of three exclusive weapons in the Physical Warfare Pack including: 1) the Type 88 light machine gun with bipod for deadly firepower and total zone control; 2) the SKS sniper rifle flash suppressor that provides increased stealth abilities for Recon soldiers; and 3) the lethal armor-piercing flechette ammo for the DAO-12 semi-automatic shotgun that will tear through anything in its path. Each weapon will be available for a limited time in-game, and will later become available to all players. Also unlocked is instant access to the highly versatile DAO-12 semi-automatic shotgun. This item is available to purchase in the UK at GAME Group (GAME and Gamestation) and Origin.

• SPECACT Kit -- Players can expand their customizable options in Battlefield 3 with a set of eight unique multiplayer skins, one for each class in Battlefield 3. This item is available to purchase in the UK at Amazon.

• Dog Tag Pack -- In Battlefield 3, dog tags serve as the player’s in-game signature, allowing gamers to customize their soldiers. Dog tags are displayed on screen every time a player takes down an enemy or claims an opponent’s dog tags. This pre-order exclusive item comes with five new, unique dog tags. This item is available to purchase in the UK at Play.com.

I just checked Origin's preorder package and it doesnt include the "SPECACT kit" or Dog Tag Pack like the UK. Though unlike the UK pre-order, Origin's gets early beta access....not sure if thats quite the fair trade off though...
 
Wasn't there already a big firestorm over UK only perks that they then rolled out to everyone due to the stink? Now they're doing it again, wtf?
 
Did anybody get their EA Gunclub email yet? I signed up Tuesday around 4:30 PM, almost noon here Thursday and still nothing

Nope, I gave up and just ordered anyway.... if it shows up I'll try to get them to adjust the order.
 
SPECACT Kit was great in BFBC2, can't wait to get it in BF3.

I hate those skins. Half the time I either nearly (or do) shoot teammates because they look a bit darker, or I freeze for a split second when an enemy SPECACT comes up because he looks kinda like my team. Of course I'm also severely colorblind, so perhaps it's just me. :(
 
Well it's been past 48hrs now since signup of EA Gun Club and still no 25% off coupon. I'll keep ya posted, hopefully it comes, I want to preorder on Origin and get BETA access.
 
Don't know if I read this correctly... but if I did then It's screwed up.

Buying BF3 off Origin gets you in the Beta at the SAME time as MOH Limited edition buyers... seems kinda odd.

I read it the same as you did. MoH buyers just got the shaft. Not that they were promised exclusive early access, however...

Yes we did get the shaft and it's bullshit. We were supposed to get early access to the beta. As in before anyone else not the same as anyone who ALSO pre orders the game.
 
You paid full price for a game and get access to the beta. I paid full price for a game and get access to the beta. What is the difference?
 
What happens if the beta is a clusterfuck and the servers cant handle the load and nobody really get to play for that 48 hours? will they push back the 48 hours?

Somebody on the internet told me that Gun Club discount off coupon program expired July 31st.

The difference is that he paid full price for a really bad game, and we are going to pay full price for BF3, and get a really good game. :)
