[Matt]

We don't get any preload time before then do we?

[EnjoyTheSauce]

Fingers crossed no epic server fails like with BC2 beta.

[pyro]

Don't see why they wouldn't preload, better to stretch the stress on the servers over a couple of days than have everyone trying to download it the moment it goes live. Inc server crashes

[SheepShagger556]

Who; like me will be staying up Thursday night?


I have Friday off for glide time anyway.

[hoodieblanket]

1 am on the 28th is tomorrow

??? so staying up tonight to download it. then play it all wednesday?

[Growler]

you would hope the email/key goes out earlier to allow some loadings. Even if it was 6 hours or so.

[Nostargate]

Clusterfucks...its how EA rolls dawg.

Or deliberately stress the fuck out of servers by not allowing preload, to make sure they can cope with actual release and inevitable day 0 patch.

If you're going to use a beta to test your systems, test them hard.

[hoodieblanket]

doesnt really give us a lot of time to prepare for the beta. with the cluster fuck of people that will be attempting to download. It will probably download at like 30kb/s.

some MoH'ers havent even received their beta key emails etc. They are really leaving it to the last minute

[EnjoyTheSauce]

Wasn't PC beta ready a week ago, but had to wait on the consoles? You'd think with a week to prepare they'd be more on to it. Or it could very well be as Woo says.

[Speakman]

I'd be extremely surprised if what Woo has said is incorrect

[Flannel]

some MoH'ers havent even received their beta key emails etc. They are really leaving it to the last minute

I haven't heard anyone say they HAVE received it yet. It certainly wasnt in my email the last 40times I looked, this morning.

[SLAYER!@#]

Don't think MOH emails have been sent yet.

[pyro]

Or deliberately stress the $#@! out of servers by not allowing preload, to make sure they can cope with actual release and inevitable day 0 patch.

If you're going to use a beta to test your systems, test them hard.

I understand that, but why not just do the same for the release and allow a preload for that too. The initial download stress is surely going to be a shitload more than anything the master gaming servers will come under. x number of users downloading at max speeds, compared to x number of users rx/tx small bits of data to master servers during gameplay.

[kongkiwi]

I'm more concerned about if it is going to be as awesome as the hype....

[Munchie]

This is poppycock! It should be 10pm 27th for us aswell >.>

[DeeUnit]

I haven't received my beta key yet, should be sometime today :>

[KiwiTaZ]

The initial download stress is surely going to be a $#@!load more than anything the master gaming servers will come under. x number of users downloading at max speeds, compared to x number of users rx/tx small bits of data to master servers during gameplay.

I think you will find Woo is referring to the stress the servers will come under when people are dpwnloading the actual game and the 0day patches that follow, this is just the beta.

I'm sure they will allow preload of the actual game a week before release.

[Munchie]

Prepare for server crashes and you wont be disappoint. It's gonna happen like the other Battlefield games.

[Meat2Potatos]

I don't remember any problems with server crashes in either 2142 or bc2.

It was always drivers issues for me...

Either way, I won't be disappointed. Needing something new to play.

[Munchie]

The servers were a mess for BC2 at the start lol

[Dr Woomanchu]

Kongkiwi;1426823']I'm more concerned about if it is going to be as awesome as the hype....

Nothing ever matches hype.

Anyway we get used to it fast. Do you get any rush out of BC2? Yet I played it the other day after a break of over a month, and the first time I was advancing as inf with a chopper flying overhead firing, and a tank rumbling past with arty coming in, and guys getting shot next to me, I was like OMFG THIS IS SOOO AWESOME!!!!, then 30 seconds later I remembered it was always like this and was meh all over again.

[kongkiwi]

I had to reinvent a style, that's why a ran with the TAG boys, shotty's and knives out, sensor balls....etc etc. but even that became boring about a month ago. do like getting the hackusations though, especially from SOV players. Crusader142, classic. ESP hacks he reckons, we call those wookie balls don't we?

Finally got my sound sorted on G35 and that was awesome for like 10 minutes

[Obble]

Getting called hacks by someone like Crusader142 is like bragging about beating someone in a wheelchair in race up stairs.

[Dr Woomanchu]

None of that havin fun with the tag boys any more dude. You with the pro's now ;)

You only have to ask some of the other senior players out there on the public servers, we don’t like sitting back sniping, but sometimes we have to when we don’t get enough go “forward support.”
we always move forward even on defence and take it to the attackers – its how we roll.

You only have to look at my score on some games, I have terrible kill death/ratio at the end of some the round, cuz I’m trying to take the mcom and go forward to win the round.

I ran up behind you on Nelson bay on this particular night you suffered my blade (once of many i believe) and got called ESP hacker. – I was actually using sensors to pick you up. – how can that be a hack?

We have tremendous battles on the ON3 public servers with, chop , [A], SAF, [∞]and many others have given us countless hours of fun… we lost rounds a lot and we’ve won rounds.

No one else complains. (well nismo7 does – doesn’t like my shotty, but I finished all the guns so I think I can use what I want)

And I did enjoy your rage quit too.. so satisfying, but do come back and hope to see you on BF3 soon.

[Mr_St1nky]

Crusader can just fuck right off.

I called him out on him not using his brains when being an admin on his server (I used to admin the SoV servers FOR him cos he was unable to do it himself) so he got butthurt, threw his toys as a reply and banned me from the forums. Anyone who has a better kdr than he can get sitting back in a tank is a hacker to him. No balls, no brain, no job...you're pretty fucked matey.

[NZCrusader142]

Because I am bloody busy, and I dont have time to admin the server.

Thats why we have server admins appointed.
If you didnt want to be a server admin, you could have given it to someone else.



You were banned because of a fail argument where you dont like it when I am not around to admin, yet you dont like it when I do admin either.


Since there was no pleasing you, it is pointless for you to remain on our forums as generally the members including myself, found you to be rather negative alot of the time.
Not only this but you are backing the hacker scarecrow560 (Nghtcrwlr560) and so both you and him have a permanent vacation.


Dont like it ?

Dont expect to be an ass on our forums and not be banned.
Dont associate with hackers.

nuff said.




You are free to rage here though.
ON3 is not in our jurisdiction and it would be a save haven for you and your bud scarecrow.

AHAHA you made me happier than angry, more stupidity.

You had two people tard it up on your (fail) server, so you posted trying to convince everyone in that clan that it was your buddy scarecrow who you're in a lover's tiff with. Instead of doing admin101 and stat's checking the two tards to see they had more teamkills than kills by a significant amount and as such couldn't be your lover. Then you banned me for pointing that out. Your drivel just now doesn't match your actions and comments, to the extent where you've deleted my account to remove all your whingy PM's about how Scarecrow is such a bad person but you'd like me to stay cos you need good players.

Being an ass on your forums isn't hard evidently, you've banned and kicked people out for posting on it too much. You say you don't associate with hackers yet you've only just "caught scarecrow" hacking, when you haven't...he hacked in 2142 and "hasn't hacked since" by his word (which may or may not count for much) but you only bring this up when your "Power" is under threat (WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE OF HACKING)

You're full of shit, a whinging child...saying you are trolling is fooling noone. You suck at admining, you suck at managing a clan because anyone good never stays around for your bullshit.

[Obble]

You both suck, feck off.

I so need to drop like 1000$ on a new screen, ssd and a 500$ video card for this game :S

[Spork]

For anyone who has the hard copy of MOH, if you haven't already, go into Origin, then click settings and 'redeem product code' and enter your MOH serial number. This adds MOH to your origin games library, however I am not sure if that gets you any closer to getting a beta key.. :S

I'm still bloody waiting on EA to contact me.

[swindle]

Just did all that over the last few weeks.

Glad I did.

So, let me get this straight - Those who are getting keys will get them by 1am on the 28th (about 7 hours time from this post) and once the D/L is finished, installation can happen, and a server can be entered asap?

[Machpants]

Yeah once you get your key and it is after 0100 you can DL away, the servers are already there.

hmm. out of curiosity I just added my MoH key from steam ( not the mythical beta one no-one has seen, but the standard one) to Origin, and origin now has MoH limited edition waiting to download. LOL. gonna try it with BC2 for a laugh

[Machpants]

It worked for me, both MoH and BC2 added from steam to origin

To anyone who has been looking for the time the beta keys get e-mailed out:

"The #BF3BETA Early Access e-mails will deploy for AUS & NZ at approx 7pm AEST. I sincerely apologise for the delay."

From EA AUS' twitter account. Not sure if it's been posted but haven't seen it anywhere in this thread, but I am deaf dumb and blind. D=

and like there is this options function where you can change buttons and that its a beta.... and rush

I'm sure I typed that myself, about configuring buttons and stuffs.

Hoping they increase the beta length here and unlock it, given all the other prior beta lengths

Hi, my name is Monica. How may I help you?
Nick Faulkner: Hello, I purchased MOH LE Hard copy edition from a store in june this year, and I am just asking if there is a cut off date to when players have to have played online to be able to get access to the BF3 early access beta?
Nick Faulkner: as I only found out yesterday that you even had to play online in order to get access to the beta
Monica: From where have purchased it?
Nick: EB games (physical store)
Nick: not through steam
Nick: in Australia
Monica: Please contact steam , they will provide you the key
Nick: I did not purchase it through steam
Nick: I bought it in a store
Monica: Please contact the retailer from where you have purchased your game they will provide you the key
Nick: Hmm, ok, thankyou very much
Nick: have a good day

Trying to join, shows as connecting, bf3 screen pops up but nothing from there just keeps saying connecting

[synthesiz]

LoJac: i get the exact same issue..... not sure whats going on here :(

[LoJac]

I had a message pop up from Avira Antivirus trying to block the bf3.exe file on install so thought this was the problem. I unblocked so shouldn't have been an issue.

[FrostyNZL]

[Spork]

HELL YES, there are good people left in this world. Some guy gave me a key which works. :D


5% downloaded.

[Emrico1]

I just played BF3!

[QiK Killer]

I played for a few hours last night (nic. iVoRyaNGeL). Takes a bit of getting used to after BC2!
Nobody can shoot straight - I was running across open ground to get behind the attackers and people were firing at me but you can run so fast and the recoil's so much that I barely got scratched lol. Went to knife someone and realised that knife didn't map to my mouse3 button :(
Is there anyway to map keys other than once you've spawned and hit ESC? That's annoying.
Character models are meh but the environment is pretty!
With all the recoil I found pistol easier to use and Sniping is as easy as in MoH. I didn't really notice, is there bullet drop?

[=C=]

^this, the sheer amount of gamers across the globe that are gonna be downloading that shit :P



2012! The internet goes down due to overloading!
