Battlefield 3.


6 hours and 52 minutes.

Are you ready!?!?!???!!?????question??!?!exclamation!?!!

[Saulus]

6 hours? I've been playing it since I got home from work (Korean VPN connection).

Waiting is for suckers.

Ultra Settings, DX11 .. 2 MSAA (AA Filtering max), 16AF... 1920 x 1200... using newest 285.62 drivers. Game runs like a dream, very rarely dropping below 40 FPS (avg is 60 or more).

ALL LIES!

Those are trailer pictures! You can't fool me!

[Saulus]

lol keep telling yourself that.... Thats why my soldier stats are already reading my MP matches on battlelog.

[Dihydrogen Monoxide]

Not only do I get to see awesome pictures of gameplay, but I have to wait until 2 FREAKING AM NOW.

Dude if you have it on origin I can give you the proxy address...

[Dihydrogen Monoxide]

I have it on Origin, but it won't actually launch the game until 10/25/11 @ 0200.. there's a time authenticator or something that checks the time it's being launched vs. the time it's supposed to launch..

[Saulus]

Hence me using the VPN, it's the 25th in Korea, of course as of this posting it is now the 25th in a lot more regions, just having a proxy temporarily for the timecode part is enough. After that you remove the proxy, took me 2 secs to do and it unlocked the game early.

Best of all its actually legit, there's nothing illegal or punishable by EA for doing it.

[Dihydrogen Monoxide]

Would I have to download anything? I'm unfamiliar with that whole domain..

[Saulus]

I don't have the exact post but it's in this thread, I used this so I didn't have to find a proxy on my own, just go to internet explorer, tools, options, internet settings... then into LAN settings, it's explained in the post.

[Kirin]

Does the retail version require you to install Origin? I'd rather avoid having yet another games portal.

[Saulus]

Yes, origin is required no matter what unfortunately. It pained me too, but I've gotten over it.

[Dihydrogen Monoxide]

Well Saulus, thanks for the tip bud, but I ended up falling asleep waiting for 2 AM to pass..

Unfortunately, the stupid game doesn't even work on my laptop AND the code I was provided for the physical warfare pack has already been used.



Thank Bane, Myrkul, and Colibrus they do refunds.

Late to the party but I am 2GB in on my 11.5 GB download!

[Doubtful]

It takes a while, but it's worth it!

There's still a way to go with weapon balancing, but its good fun. The new knife attacks make for great comedy if you see the person coming.
