They are handing out 15% discounts left and right. I called them for a minor issue and got one.
Was that you talking to them or is the SS from elsewhere?
While I haven't dealt with them myself, from what I've heard from friends/the internet (because the internet is so trustworthy!) is that they'll throw discounts at you left and right, but when you have billing problems or problems with the software ect., they take forever to get back to you and then take another forever (two forevers for those not counting) to fix it.
When I used it for the beta it just...pissed me off...a lot. Dunno why. It's one of the reasons I haven't purchased the game yet (that and the quicktime events...freaking kill me).
I have to be honest, the quicktime events are very similar to what you see in MW. A lot of it is melee encounters so it looks cool and feels appropriate. The other random stuff is like ledge grabbing, repelling etc that is just more streamlined as an action sequence.
In my honest opinion this is the most over the top, (forgive me here BF fans) COD style BF campaign I have played yet (not that that is a bad thing mind you). Though it auditory and graphically is stunning, the micheal bay esque style story telling is awesome to me. I love slow motion and quick time events and explosions. I personally think it's a voyage any FPS fan should take because it is pure heart pounding amounts of awesomeness... and I haven't even touched MP yet.
Not mine.
I've also heard that. I'm not too surprised that Origin has run into a few issues in the midst of what's essentially its biggest stress test ever, though.While I haven't dealt with them myself, from what I've heard from friends/the internet (because the internet is so trustworthy!) is that they'll throw discounts at you left and right, but when you have billing problems or problems with the software ect., they take forever to get back to you and then take another forever (two forevers for those not counting) to fix it.
DOH... IDIOT MOMENT!
Found out how to fix my problem in case anyone runs into it... I couldn't get in any games or play the campaign because I had to hold control and F5 to reload since I was in beta...
Working now
Beat the campaign time for some multiplayer! Some of the missions were pretty epic
I think it's 6-7 hours. Considering I just finished Rolling Thunder at hour 3.5 and that is roughly half way through.
I'm getting quite angry with Origin right now. I waited in line in the cold to get my copy of BF3, and now it is having issues installing. I ran the repair tool, which didn't do anything, as it got caught up. It then will only give me the option of Install, which does nothing but take me back to where it says installed again.
Nvm its fine
its sick!

Sooooo I'm having some issues in multiplayer if anyone's has any idea why it's doing this I'd be much appreciative..
So, basically after a few minutes inside a server, (Does not matter what server, it's every server I've been in.. which is around 30 before I got frustrated to the point of no return) I get kicked saying that the administrator kicked me. Now I know that it's not an admin because it's been that many servers, so I looked at punkbuster... but the punkbuster service checker said everything was OK. (I even reinstalled punkbuster for BF3 manually just to make sure)
Any ideas? I really want to play MP, and the game looks amazing for the 4 minutes I can play in MP at a time :P
i love origin i had i download speed of 18 mb.s faster than steam :-D and no problems at all
anyone have any idea of how to add the game files to origin? downloaded them elsewhere so when i got my key today i could just use that and play straight away rather than downloading the whole thing. it's not quite like the ever so easy steam where you can right click and verify the cache. every time i try to add the files to origin it just auto deletes them and tries to redownload the whole thing again.
