[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

How all thinks they will be buying the game on PC and do you have to use Origin?

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

I have already pre-ordered (got a deal for being in the alpha), and yes, you have to use origin to play (there will not be any steam releases that i am aware of)

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

Boooo Hisss

[LA_MERC_Bacowrath]

I did. Playing the beta now, deciding to keep or not. Will probably keep it and just deal with the suckage that is Origin and FaceBattle. Battlebook? FaceLog? If enough of us get into it and want to play, I'll set up a TS server again, unless we already have one ready to go somewhere.

That's right, you did have "Frags TS server"running for a while, it will be a necessity if were going to get things rolling like we use to.

I have a TS3 server sitting and having fun chillin out in a COLO here in town. I will grab all of the info again. This is also available for another 9 servers.

I will jump on it.

BF 3 looks amazing. This might get mback into FPSing. Can I be a cook or something? My twitch skills are terrible these days. Can we run our own server or is it just what is hosted by the manufacturer?

How is the game?? Don't have it yet.. is it a get for the PC or are you all playing consoles??

[LA_MERC_WBHighwind]

Whats up B B B B B B B Boys? Anyone got the game? I preloaded it on my PC and about to get on. My name on Origin is AgLiftPilot now.

I played the Beta on X360 and I could tell it wasnt the same. PC is the way to go on this game. Just like BF2, theres so much more to the PC. Call of Duty is a perfect console game. Battlefield is a PC game and Im fully behind that statement because I have new compy part arriving tomorrow for my new BF3 gaming monster.

[LA_MERC_DocSparky]

I should be getting my 360 copy today, but when I finally get the funds to update my computer rig I'll be getting the PC version. Hopefully BF3 will have some legs. I played BF2 for a couple years.

So how is it? How is the voice comm and the server balancing? It usually takes Dice a week or 2 to get the servers stabilized, so I understand it might be a little rough right now.

[LA_MERC_Onji]

to be honest this is the most stable, fewest bugs BF release to date (knock on wood) which is surprising and awesome. Just a few little nitpicks like the stupid chat box being to big and distracting. And me dying too much, but I think I'm just getting old and less twitchy. It runs alot better than the beta did for me. very smooth.

game is killer, get in or get owned

[LA_MERC_Onji]

I think what you meant is:

game is killer, get in AND get owned :stick

Onji, please tell me that's fake video. I can see 2 or 3 people camping in the back with the mortar. DANG!

[LA_MERC_Onji]

na not fake. but i read it takes alot of teamwork to perform like that. plenty of people constantly spotting, and you have to be kinda close range

[LA_MERC_Bacowrath]

Ahhh....stop lookin for a sissy excuse not to like the game, and get in here, Doc :p

[LA_MERC_Onji]

pretty funny compilation (language)

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

LOL... well, looks like Good old battle field to me :)

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

Maybe for baddies...but this game is really not about K:D, a good squad and teamplay outshines anything else...now if you playing with the 12-14 yr olds on xbox, it may be very frustrating, lol.

[LA_MERC_Drax]

I have it on PC, graphics are sweet, game play is good, jets and choppers are not so easy to fly (especially jets), and they are so easy to kill in the early on. They get unlocks later that help, but at the start, blow em up!
