Again I am not judging this game until I handle the final releases for at least 6 hours but crap like this makes me have doubts.

I am with highway here.

IF it had an ingame browser, you would use the following steps to get ingame.

1. log in to orgin
2. launch BF3
3. log into orgin (again) and access your BF3 soldier
4. load server browser
5. choose server

how DICE is saying it will work

1. log in to orgin
2.access your bf3 soldier (battlelog info)
3. load server browser
4.choose server


when you exit a server, it will exit the game automatically and take you back to the server browser. if coded properly, it could be very streamlined.



note: if the server browser is exclusively through orgin, it could provide a better explanation as to why BF3 will not currently be offered on Steam.

Origin and Battlelog are separate. Minor update:

how DICE is saying it will work

1. log in to Origin (access EA Account)
2. log in to Battlelog (access your bf3 soldier)
3. load server browser (Battlelog)
4. choose server

I read today that Battlelog gets a 2 minute reservation on the server to give you time to load the game and log into the server.

my point is still valid though. (my note about steam isn't)

First post updated.

On the server browser thing it will work like this..

1. log in to Origin (access EA Account)
2. Open web browser.
3. log in to Battlelog (access your bf3 soldier) via web browser.
3. load server browser in your web browser (Battlelog)
5. Battlelog launches BF3 to chosen server via a plug in.

Now if you wanna change servers you will have to quite BF3 and pick another server in the web browser and relaunch the damn game.

So now instead of just going into the game and logging in and picking a server we have about three extra steps to change servers.

How it should be.....

1. log in to orgin
2. launch BF3
3. load server browser (in game)
4. choose server (in game)

that is the same number of steps we have now, not 3 extra.

hopefully, EA will be smart enough to incorporate a browser for battlelog to remove a step.

don't really have my hopes up on that.

Sorry its two extra to change a server.

1. Quit BF3 and pick a new server.
2. Relaunch BF3.

With the extra step of having to log into the web browser to begin with its 3 extra steps total. Sorry I wasn't clear.

[Black Haru]

so, September is coming up fast, any word on beta dates?

[crazyeyesreaper]

bah they totally fucked BF3,

why do they insist on making shit more complicated to run then it needs to be,

"hey guys i got a great idea" well lets hear it "what if we make the process to find and join servers even more agonizing and waste more time, waste development money and resources doing it, and then totally tie it all into Origin, on top of that lets added 20+ more steps in the process to enter the game enter a server leave the game join another server situation, to the point people will just say fuck it, and remain on shit servers because quiting and joining another is just as agonizing" - that is an amazing idea. do it NOW!!!

Ya know the bad thing about Teamspeak is when I read peoples posts I read it in their voice. lol

I have decided, I will not be getting battlefield 3. With pc gamers getting screwed over again, with a game that is dominated by pc and will still be played by pc gamers long after the console people stopped playing to play mw3. I'm just going to stick with BBC2 and when the people who only play sniper go over to battlefield 3 I will have a ton more fun.

Pre-ejaculate much?

Maybe you should play the game before you decide?

[bpgt64]

Fu$king hell, having souch a rough time talking my friends who all have recently updated PCs to getting the game ON PC. There all stuck in middleschool with the xboxs. Sorry if I offend anyone who enjoys playing this game or any game on console, but this is freakin' Battlfield...it's meant for the PC.

I don't think anyone here is going to argue with you.

[crazyeyesreaper]

Nah, just annoyed. With the whole external server browser for pc is just annoying. As someone with a very bad Internet connection I have to server hop till I find a new one, and having to close the game and choose a new server, then open the game, and then log in is kinda annoying, because I know I will have to do it atleast 5 times on battlefield 3. If I want to play a game, I will prob play 30 mins. And 10 mins of trying to get into a game will make me not want to play, ever.

[TheMailMan78]

Maybe they think PC users feel the need to multi task so much that they made extra steps just to play the game. Next we will need to dosi doe and spin your partner to change kits. lol

[crazyeyesreaper]

that .... would be hilarious to see.
