Here is a question that has probably been asked a bunch:

If I order from Origin, is it possible to get both a downloaded and physical copy with my purchase? For the same price, of course.

Probably not. I had ordered my copy from the EA store way back in January and when Origin fired up I received the email about my "Digital Preorder" and would get Dead Space 2 or Mass Effect 2 for free. I thought this was strange since I did the exact same thing for BC2 preorder and they shipped me a hard copy. So I got on live chat on Origin and asked if my Preorder was a Digital or Hardcopy and she told me Digital. I cancelled my Preorder and repreordered a Hard copy through Origin (which was not an option when I did it the first time) and they decided to charge me tax this time.

Newegg has/had a deal on BF3 preorder for 47.99 which I took advantage of and cancelled my order through Origin again. You still get the Back to Karkand pack and as far as the weapon pack (that flechette ammo and flash hider)well you still get it, you just have to unlock it through ranks as opposed to having it on Day 1. Not worth the extra 12 bucks IMO.

bah, all friends list will be done through battlelog anyway. I would wait and get your soldier name from the beta (will likely be a persistent name and dog tags for final release)

Nope it never worked in Alpha ,And you have to use your EA/Origin account for it.As for beta they will probably let us keep the level ups and names like they did in BF4Play,Remember it is not just a beta we get we also have Vet status for it too.

go into your Origin settings and select Keep game file installers ,This will let you copy it to DVD for hard copy.And they will be in your C:\ProgramData\Origin\DownloadCache\ folders ,Just don`t hit the delete all game installers button.....

Since we don't have a clan, what are some good tactical clans? I'm technically part of MIA clan but havent talked to them in almost a year. I'm looking for a clan where we would operate like a real military force with tactics etc.

We should make a clan called "The Postmen", run by the one and only Mailman. Many lulz would be had, I'm sure.

Good name. Question though would be: will we be tactical or would we be the chicken running around headless?

Ask Mailman. I have a feeling one of the things he takes seriously is Battlefield.

The answer to your question is:

SPECIAL TACTICS

Good cause I want to roll with a crew of competent, tactical minded gamers who use strategy to win. I also like a group who take running transport seriously.

Well that was an Alpha, and you will have to use your account to login, but I'm pretty sure Battlelog will be running off of your soldier name, not your origin name. As they want you to be able to find games, look up stats, and all that jazz with it. And the friends list will be running through Battlelog, so I would think using that should be fine with soldier names.

My origin name is MontagesNmore (like my YT channel).

I hate writing on the EA BF3 PC forums! Literally like 12 year old boys asking the stupidest questions, and even started a forum asking, "Will BF3 poop in your mouth?"

It's ridiculous!

Anyways , here is better image test PC vs XBOX 360

I can almost grantee that unlocks will not be persistent from beta to final release.

I doubt this. you can only have one origin account, you can have multiple soldiers, and they can NOT have the same name, nor the same friends list. therefore, battlelog must have a separate friends list.

I remember in the Alpha unlocking the MP-7. That weapon was awesome at close to mid and sometimes long if you burst it. I look forward to equipping that when flying choppa. ^_^
