Battlefield 3 (Official Thread)

ufff yeah not even can play offline ? dang

 

when i seen that,silly me thuoght i was getting it a few days early :nerd:

 

Seems to work for me, with no VPN after i click the BF3.exe it shows as the 28th at 00:00, after starting my VPN via a us proxy and clicking the BF3.exe it shows as the 25th at 03:00.

Will do a proper test on the 25th .

Edit.
This was using a free VPN program.

 

Guys let us know as soon as you instal the game about how much it takes up on your hdd, want to work out if it'll fit on my ssd. And post tons of screenshots and tell us everything about it!

 

That's good news, Iv got my vpn ready

 

As of right now, as mentioned before, it stands at 11.4 gigs. I don't see it changing much if at all on release. Something I did notice though was a folder for updates and already containing files, like in the data folder. A patch before release, maybe from after the beta completed?

 

Indeed me to . I did it earlier today to test it out and just now found someone posting exactly what i did on battlefieldo's forums (to the letter).

Ohh yeah forgot to add, you may or may not know this.

You don't need Origin running to do the date check, just clickiing the BF3.exe in the games manager or install folder runs it AND it doesn't start Origin, so it can be unlocked etc before you even run Origin to start to play.

 

The day one patch is already downloaded with the pre load, thats what that folder is

 

not!!!

 

Man I hate this, I bought and downloaded from Direct2Drive, it said that those whom pre-ordered can play it on the 21st and official release is the 25th

And when I go to run it, I get the same page as everyone else, so sad

 

Pretty sure when it asks you to download it says 11gb, not sure if there's more extraction needed though.

Wonder what the disc version has more to take up 15gb didn't notice that until now

 

To say BF2 is the best online game i ever played is an understatement,( and tbh the best game i ever played in general )

In preperation for BF3 next week ive bought another 6970 and a 120 gig SSD, noone can say im not BF hardcore

 

Blah.


I wanna buy my rig NOW. But I won't have the money til next month.

Lol nice.

I bought my current rig for this game and want to upgrade but its not happening anytime soon.

 

Which is made even more confusing when if you look at the specs on Origin, it recommends 20GB of hard drive space.

 

what are you talking about, i preordered from direct2drive and i was never under the assumption that i'd be able to play it before the release day....???

:backfire:

 

how do you know it will be playable at midnight?

 

I'm not going to bother downloading BF3 until maybe a month after launch as I'm too busy replaying all of the Call of Duty games....

Even if you played them all, you could finish them in a few hours.

 

So do you need like a super rig to run it? Don't know what's with computers these days i'm from 8800GTX and Core 2 duo Era
