1st yo..xDDD...my game arrive in thurs...sighh fast fast...

tido2 puas2

soldat lipoting...

thursday so late come..me sad

already got my copy from tsb... but didnt play yet.. want to upgrade my gc today

gimme ur dvd please =-O

if possible i wun too...lol

lol..

finished single player d...hehehe....btw guys when you guys play single player...the part where the rat attack you....dont kill the rat...u will laugh if u dont kill the rat

cry in 1st page..not yet play

lol put spoiler la..zzz

i didnt say anything...i just say the rat part dont kill the rat...thats all

how do you launch the single player campaign?

I downloaded the latest Origin, then downloaded the 400Mb+ patch, installed the patch and then click "Play Now" ..... nothing's happening.

Yes, its an original game.

battlelog

yay fespej!!!

lol and i very happyy my face on LYN frontpage thanx to chapree

when u click that button it should open your browser to the battlelog website...if it didnt u can try to visit there manually & launch the game from there as long as origin is running....

if still cant then i m not so sure...if u installed everything is fine...maybe try to restart your pc...see if that helps if launching through battlelog dosent seem to work too...

Basically
--> Install origin
--> Install BF3
--> Install patch
--> visit http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3 and download the browser plugin
--> Run the campaign from there

check in. wat lv for unlock mortar?mortar can hit armour unit like tank?support so weak when fight armour unit...only 2 c4...

@MJ, can spoiler the youtube videos in first post as well

The chatbox is blocking wayy too much of the top right corner of the screen

I've seen people spamming it just to distract the whole team. LMAO

c4 replenish if u throw out ur ammo box
no problem there, 2 c4 enough to blow the tank up
mortar is not accurate

Guys add me up those who haven't!

Restarted PC and its still the same.
Just keeps putting me at the battlelog gate.

My id is probably messed up after I changed my id name or it is messed up after I loaded the Physical Warfare Pack.

Anyone having problem like no sound in game?

Bro, are you using IE browser? try changing to Mozilla. Works for me.

Do I have to load the Physical Warfare pack if I pre-ordered from Origin?

yea u have to
if not u wont get t he PWP

Okay thanks. So how do I do that since I don't have any serial number for the game being on Origin?

Thanks bro.
That worked!
Stupid IE...

Yes. You should be getting an email with the Product key for the Physical Warfare Pack.
Then go to Origin client, click on the cog, choose Redeem Product Code.
Key in the product key there.

Take note that its not your BF3 product key. You have a separate Physical Warfare Pack key email.

so many still up there. Since I resisted to get an extra copy today, decided to reformat my SSD for Thursday BF3 loading... downloading all the necessary files now. Will tune my system at tip-top condition to welcome the king of game.

btw, there is still crashes here and there as mentioned by EA Spore on their FB due to too heavy load? Hopefully by Thursday night everything will be smooth as silk.

map 64 player sure heavyyyyyyy

what server are you all connecting to?

btw my IGN is Yakumo1

playing on low setting lol . i am still thinking how to find enemys... so hard to spot! unless its glitch where the leg are poking via wall lol..

Guys, add me up for co-op

Epic eye candy but 56K warning!

Anyone buying this game through Origin?

I had problem on downloading it when it kept on resuming the download progress from example like 70% then it revert to 10% or even worse, 0%.

Been more than 24 hours already and now I'm still stuck in 0%, argh ... Kept failing :mad:

Man, that sound suck.

owh i think ever experience this during downloading beta it shows that i reach 85% then revert back to 25% and continue doing that until revert back to 0%. i deleted the game file in the folder and restart my download again *sigh* and was rectified. I'm not sure if its the same problem but if stuck back to 0% probably the file data corrupted while downloading, damn you Origin...i never have this problem when downloading off from Steam

wah! one of my old fesbuk fren claimed he has finished the campaign mode in 7 straight hours. is that 2 short fellas?

This post has been edited by skylinelover: Oct 26 2011, 07:22 AM

yes the campaign is short

DICE highlights more on the Multiplayer experience , but I'd give the campaign mission a good solid 2 thumbs up

good day to frag but sadly my copy hasn't arrive yet thanks to EA choose to release on 25 Oct.

not sure if anyone seen this, those who collected the game from TSB's midnight release appear in the EA battlefield blog. lol..

the photo caption says from US to Malaysia.



battlefield blog

Wow, hahaha, now Malaysia is in glory! XD

Lol, i envy you and the rest, here in Aus, it's not release yet ..

im not in those photos.. but got my photo in LYN's front page covering the BF3 launch.. now, try n find me LOL

None XD

Uwaaa... Famous players

Ayem sad. Game is laggy and Near unplayable on my system. Upgraded to latest 285.62 driver.

i5 2.8 Ghz
2GB kingston PC3-10700
Asus ENGTS 450
Win 7 64 bit.

guys...im stuck on the singleplayer; in the train after the bomb; u suppose to press SPACE but it goes nowhere and ended up fall on the track..grrr~

I read from this forum, one forumer mentions that you need to keep pressing spacebar to climb. I dunno. Havent get the game

your RAM problem

almost same problem like me from start ...my problem is cant install punkbuster stupid windows 7 but i redl whole file...wat a nightmare...

Added on October 26, 2011, 9:06 am game laggy is multiplayer o sp ?if multiplayer , some map got problem...like wat highway forget full name each time i play sure got moment to lag...everything seem fine n y sure windows 7 64 bit when u got lower ram?

This post has been edited by Kazaff: Oct 26 2011, 09:06 AM

juz hope they fix d origin downloader and i'll redl it again at a later date. this is disastrous

which map is the most epic gameplay?

They officially have the best rig for BF3 in the whole world.

for me is firestorm...lot of tank n heli....i like tank but no heli...

Im currently in Aus too...but i can play it now. Use VPN to activate it

My copy is still in EB Games.

Picking up at 8am tomorrow!

Problem? Agreed. Solution?

1.Add more kingston RAM of same type?
2. Scrap this RAM and add faster RAM? 4 GB?

KL high cost of living, public transport suck, traffic jam everywhere

get 2x 4GB

if u got budget less than say...rm200.. then i think u shud scrap that ram and buy new 1.. IINM 4/8gb ram now very cheap

add 1 more 4 gb ram of course same type so 6 gb will do it

just the windows 7 eat 2 gb ram

performance ram n value ram just a bit differ the performance, but the price r far more than a 'bit',

if i were u, i choose cheaper ram, now the ram price also drop a bit

This post has been edited by Kazaff: Oct 26 2011, 10:15 AM

get 8GB...i have 4gb and it is not enough for bf3. Bf3 alone takes 1.7gb of ram already.

zzz.. that's the main reason i buy the physical copy although can only start playing later then digital copy. Streamyx SUX!!!

^ Wow, really?

And i thought my 8GB RAM will be a waste when i buy my rig.

wow...drop again?! last time i see 4GB is around 65-75, now how much?

not 100% true
is that they open alot of background application
there no way for a game to fully use 4GB alone
so pretty much you need software like game booster to help you close all background program before the game run
but who will do that unless you are in tight budget

or people who have 4GB but using 32bits

anyone got the tracking code from tsb? i track my item in pos laju but they say not registered, dont know they never update or they give me the wrong code

Did you check your account at the TSB webpage?

Pos Laju is not Fedex or DHL la..I bet they only update later afternoon or evening.

Sometime they won't register it until after u received it and check again it will write delivered

got game uses around 4GB RAM wan, just that you don't know only most sim games usually is 64bit.

wah means it is recommended to get 8gb RAM now ?

Hey guys, just a heads up.

The TSB midnight launch is featured on BF3's blog.

http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/

So, its either TSB really sold millions of copies, or no one else bought the game yet.

They're(RAM) really cheap now anyway, so why not?
