Phumfeinz Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Got my pre-order in, 48-hours early beta access hell yeah. I'm actually looking forward to this more than The Old Republic now which is a good thing because I don't think that game is ever going to be released. I just bought a flight stick for jets/helicopters/tanks as well. I do kinda feel sorry for those of you getting it on the consoles though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Might have to wait a week of release before deals start rolling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 19, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2011 Looks better then i thought it would on Xbox. Wish i could justify spending £700 on a PC to play this one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Whats so good about playing this on PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 20, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2011 The GFX will be better on a high end PC. I think you can have 64 people in a game on PC. So there will probably be bigger maps etc. Also, i just prefer playing FPS on a PC. I find the keyboard and mouse much easier to use then a controller.... my thumbs just dont react as fast as I would with a keyboard and mouse. It's all down to personal preference really.... for me FPS should be played on a PC. Just the cost of maintaining an up-to date PC is quite high.

packoman Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 So I've read that for the PC you will need Origin which is like EA's version of Steam. And I've also seen stuff about them being able to access info on your PC and search for illegal content through Origin. Does anyone know anything about this?

Are you a member of Al Qaeda? the leader of a worldwide cocaine cartel? member of an international pedophile ring? keeping Madeleine McCann hostage? on the run from the CIA?

packoman Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 This is me 8) But really I'm not worried just dont like the idea of them monitoring my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 20, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah it's not on if they monitor your PC. That's just wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have Origin and it does an hourly scan of your computer, kinda like an anti-virus program. At the end it saves the results and sends it to the police/FBI/EA/Facebook. But who cares, I want to play BF3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Off the US site: Hello Folks, I have only just got off the line with EA in terms of getting some response to you guys about your Early Access Emails! I've been receiving quite a bit of emails/private messages in regarding this lately, and the best response we can give right now is as follows. Electronic Arts will be sending emails out with redeemable codes inside them, you will then go to this site and redeem the code in order to get access to the Early Access promotion. Electronic Arts have already started sending out those emails, however most of you will start receiving your emails by midnight tonight(09/26/2011) in order for you to have them in your inbox by tomorrow morning (Tuesday 09/27/2011). What are the requirements in order to receive Early Access? In order to qualify for Early Access you must have played Medal of Honor Tier 1 or Limited Edition online and redeemed your Online Pass, or you must have pre-ordered Battlefield 3 via Origin before the 25th of September. When will I get my email? Sometime between Midnight tonight(most likely PST timezone) to the early hours of Tuesday morning. What is in this email? Information on how to redeem your key, the redemption key, and also a link to the redemption website. Which email is this being sent to? The email will most likely be sent to your EA Master Account's email, if you have linked your gamer profiles to that email. Misc.. Emails will be sent to individuals who participated in the Medal of Honor T1/Limited Edition (Xbox 360/PC) promotion with information on how to redeem. Emails will also be sent to the Origin BF3 Preorder users via their email, with information regarding that. You will also receive a email if you purchased Medal of Honor via Steam prior to the 25th of July. Your key will be within your Steam Library -- right click Medal of Honor and then click "CD Keys" your code will be listed within that. Currently I have no details as to wether Playstation 3 users will receive a email, you should see Battlefield 3 automatically popup within the PSN Network by tomorrow! (If you qualified, by the above). __________________ Hope this helps some of your questions, if any more please don't hesitate to make a thread or private message any of the Battlefield moderators, and we should be able to provide information -- if we have it PS; As always don't forget to keep an eye on Demize99's twitter, Zh1nt0's twitter, Our Battlefield Facebook page and also to reread the FAQ visit here. Regards, T0TALfps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastleBromVilla Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Was going to order this from shopto, but have gone for hmv instead. You get the same as shopto, but you also get the hmv exclusive steelbook edition, and its only an extra £2. http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1;-1&sku=960841 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
