The end of the teaser, the blowout of the room was from a frag? If so, thats awesome as games have seriously underpowered the hand grenade for a long long time...I mean...its a fist sized ball of C4/Syntex surrounded by like 1/4 or 1/2 inch thick sheet of metal...they're hella violent little bastards. Makes me wonder how they've handled claymores....mmmm stainless steely
actually its closer to about 1/16th of an inch thick, there is about 6 ounces of comp b in them, 6 ounces of comp b would do nothing to a half inch of steel, it would just blow the det out of the top of the grenade. Not to mention that they would weight about 3 pounds if they were made of half inch steel. They are nasty, just not quite that hefty
New short teaser. Game looks really great.

Did anyone else notice how during the knife animation he stabbed the guy then pulled off the dog tag in one motion?
I noticed that....so badass.
Am I the only one, or are the sound effects totally sick? This might be the first trailer I focused on the sound but man, I felt like I was in the thick of it.
Sure I'll play an FPS with a gamepad, right after I finish every Mario game using a steering wheel and pedals.
Did you guys see the prices on the servers? $95 and some cents for 64 players for 1 MONTH. What a ripoff.
1200 a year for a game server is pretty intense though...wish I had that kind of dough to throw arkind still, lol.
What did this tweet say? (It's been deleted)
"screen shot"(that looked fake to me) of xbox 360 playing the beta
Did anyone get charged for BF3 through Origin already? I thought it wasn't suppose to charge until it was ready to pre-load?
Yea I got charged the day after I ordered.
I ordered like August 1st and still haven't been charged.
Wtf? Why did they charge me then?
The way the ordering system is like this: the moment you place the order they put a temporary hold on the funds to see that it's there. Then the funds are released. The moment the game gets released, you will see the full charge. All online services do it this way. Amazon, Best Buy, Origin, etc. Best Buy is much worse about it, though. They constantly put a hold/release the funds until the item comes out.

If you're actually being charged, then I'll need to go talk to the store people on Monday and ask them what the hell is going on, because you shouldn't be charged until it gets shipped/pre-loaded.
My point about Amazon was simply that they didn't fully charge you until it was shipped, much like this process. The hold is temporary and goes bye bye like 24 hours after you place the order.
info: Please wait. An EA Expert will be with you soon.
info: You are now ready to chat with Colter.
Colter: Thank you for contacting Origin Help. My name is Colter. How may I assist you today?
you: Hello Colter
Colter: Hello : )
you: I was curious I placed an order for BF3 limited edition yesterday and I noticed my accountwas charged today
you: it says on your website that I wouldn't be charged until either pre-loading of the game had begun or the day of release
Colter: Oh, yes. You are seeing what is called a Pre Authorization charge.
you: So is it charging the full amount early?
Colter: It is just there to make sure your account is valid and there are funds. The charge will fall off within a few days.
Colter: Then, when the game is released, the actual charge will take place.
you: Ahh so its holding funds to check that it isn't a invalid account?
Colter: Yes, correct
you: So it'll release the funds in the next few days?
Colter: Yes, it will take a couple days but the charge will fall off.
Colter: Then your account will be clear, until release when the transaction takes place.
you: Ok then , thank you for your information and helping clear up my confusion
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to *snip* at the end of your chat session.
Colter: It really was no problem : ) I am glad we got that cleared up. Is there anything else I might be able to assist you with?
you: Nope , that's the only question I had. Again thanks for the information
Colter: It was my pleasure : ) Thank you for contacting Origin Chat, have a wonderful weekend!
Offspring, I have Origin set to run at start-up, just like I do Steam, except while steam quietly loads in the background and keeps itself hidden in my taskbar, Origin loads in the foreground and I have to manually minimize it every time I log in. Is there a way to have it load minimized?
Thanks
For the love of god, please convey they need to fix that ASAP. It is annoying as fuck. My entire computer boots, Windows completely loaded, all other programs completely loaded (including Steam), I click on my web browser, then suddenly everything freezes for about a half second as Origin loads on top of everything AFTER everything else on my comp has already loaded.Unfortunately not, but I'll bring that up to the people who can decide whether to change that.
wtf, LOL.
