 Re: Battlefield 3
I'm generally not a fan of distribution platforms like origin and steam just because they tend to be bloatware, make you sign "you wont sue us" clauses as part of the EULA (already waived that part of mine, fight the power), and restrict the developers in what they can do (eg. steam doesn't allow 3rd party DLC exclusives or something) and while all of that is fairly benign (get a better computer, you'll likely never have to sue EA, and just work within the limits) it still irks me.
+it's another account trying to pry at my time "INVITE FRIENDS TO ORIGIN" "ADD EVERYBODY ON FACEBOOK" etc.
Very keen for this though, should probably start preloading <_<
also I'm out of the loop is lizard able to play now or something?

 Re: Battlefield 3
Yes, I'm having fun way before any of you. If you wanna have fun too, use a VPN and decrypt the game, you don't need the vpn for playing the game either. Here's the one I used: http://www.flyvpn.com/freetrialOk made a new platoon for DRL, makes it easy to keep track of people.

 Re: Battlefield 3
No, you don't. Because that would be stupid and silly and they made some balance fixes between beta and release. Or so I heard.

 Re: Battlefield 3
Hah, this is good fun. Spent the better part of the night playing this after standing in line at the midnight release eating pizza with friends (read as: just trying extra hard this time to piss off the rest of the line). I already have most of the worthwhile engineer stuff, leveling up doesn't seem that difficult. Has anyone crashed an aircraft into water yet? Not sure if it's a universal thing, but you pop out swimming with no damage done on the 360 version. I did this accidentally on the first game I joined and ended up swimming into the enemy aircraft carrier. I wasn't really sure what was going on, so I ended up hijacking the AA gun. Then proceeded to suppress their entire naval and air forces save for one or two little boats. I realized after ten minutes and two ranks later that I was probably ruining the game for the other side (a good tip off was when someone tried ramming me with the A-10) and hopped out. I wouldn't be horribly upset if that deck gun suddenly became usable only by its own team.

 Re: Battlefield 3
Thanks for the VPN, Lizard, my man. Just started playing the campaign now. As far as I know, they're planning on releasing it midnight tonight for Aus and (possibly) NZ, rather than later tomorrow.

 Re: Battlefield 3
I can't even play for more than 10 minutes, or the game freezes up. I gotta Ctrl+Alt+Delete that ♥♥♥♥ to close it :/

 Re: Battlefield 3
Anyone play on Xbox Live? And if so give me your opinions about graphics, cause I find it freaking hard to see stuff. Theres some weird blurriness/overexposedness going on...
