Battlefield 3 Released - Post here if you bought it (for PC)

What? I got those dog tags. Did they restrict it sometime after they first put it online or what?

 

lol? i did get the tags
and i didnt use a proxy

I'll try a proxy later, unless it checks your account location.

having a jeep drive over you also works, but it has to be very centered

hooah

 

Oh noes, i planned on skipping BF 3 for the moment, but seeing my favorite mp map of all times with top graphics and destructable terrain is just too much!

Anyone care to compare BC2 with BF3? I stopped playing BC2 pretty quickly, it just didn't have the good old Battlefield feeling.

 

the biggest pro for BF 3 imho is that in BC2, rush was more fun and more often played then conquest
now with BF3 its completly the other way round
basically you got this battlefield feeling of BF2 with the graphics of BC2

 

BF2 with BC2 mechanics, improved vehicle warfare and graphics. Overall fun has gone up 100%.

 

Conquest on big 64 player maps is definately what i'm looking for, too bad they toned down the environment destructions.

 

ah they are just telling shit
its just not that big like they said before release
but its definatily more then in BC2

 

So i got BF3. After i downloaded 12 GB from Origin, i couldn't activate the game because i got some error with the activation date check, two weeks after release... 2 hours searching the web and activating the game via a japanese(!) proxy i'm finally ready to play. Makes you remember how good we have it with Steam.

 

I find the destruction is basically what you want.

90% of the time when I'm in need of an alternate route I just pull out my grenade or my RPG and blow up the wall.

The other 10% it's sadly invincible, but I can deal.

 

It is truly a fucking awesome game.

 

Do you think I could run it (at low settings) on my laptop? I'm going home for Crimbo so I won't have my desktop.

Intel i3
3gb RAM
Nvidia GT 420m

 

Dunno if that helps, but i'm doing fine with an overclocked 5750 on high settings.

 

I have a i3 laptop that can barely play Battlefield 3 in the low settings.

Here are the specs:

New patch is out. DICE broke something that was already working. Again. GG DICE.

 

Where's changelog? Did they nerf SCAR-H before I ever got to use it when it was OP?

They nerfed the SCAR-H AND the G3.
They did buff helis though, which is quite nice considering how no one could ever get a kill with the miniguns in the passenger seat.

They also said they reduced loading times and several crashes. For me it feels like they've ADDED that. I can't be assed playing it anymore if I have to wait 4 mins for a fucking map to load, and don't get me started on how "Disconnected from server" appears every 3rd try when connecting to a server.
