A: Beginning in September of 2011, most new PC games from EA will benefit from the enhanced features provided by Origin integrated into the games. PC players will be required to log-in to Origin to play new EA games so you are getting the best possible experience with the full set of online features to connect and play with friends, get help when you need it and keep the game updated with the latest content. Whether you purchase the game on Origin.com, from another site for digital downloads, or at retail for physical discs, new games will require you to have the Origin to play. If you didn't buy your game on Origin, Origin will be included in the installer for the game.

When playing games offline, Origin log-in will not be required to play. For older EA catalog games, Origin is not required to play - though we recommend you use the Origin application for fast, seamless downloads, auto-patching and additional social features.

And the link http://support.ea.com/app/answers/de...sked-questions
I have no idea what you are getting at with my altered post. It would have made sense to just leave it like it was.

Start Steam
Start Origin
Start your web browser
Then start BF3

Seems like way to much just to play a game on steam if that turns out to be the case. But lets not put our carriage before the horse. What you posted would be before steam was included. Lets see if that remains if it's announced that steam will also provide BF3. A what if scenario could be:
-Start Steam
-Start Game
-Game will have main menu and server browser with the option to go to battle log.

You can gain access to the dogtags by stabbing those people and taking them. I like SPECACT as it allowed me to keep multiple loadouts at the ready. While nice, once the primary weapons are set right, repurposing a kit is pretty quick with the slide menu.

You always have your dogtags. It's just that whenever someone knifes you, they obtain a set of your personally customized dogtags(which you can always re-customize).

I've already pre-ordered BF3 from Origin and I also plan on pre-ordering the retail copy from BestBuy. I'm really hoping that I can mix the exclusive content onto one account(i.e. take my BestBuy copy's SpecAct and put it with my Origin's PWP).

Is there any way I could join this clubhouse and be listed under the members list?

This is my first time joining a clubhouse on TPU, so I thought I would give it a try.

I will definitely be buying BF3 on release day!

I need to get a list of names together so I can do them all at once.

Everyone please PM me if you want to be in the clubhouse.

I was looking for this menu before, but could not find it. The only one I see is clicking on weapons or your other slots for your kits and fast swapping them. Which usually I set it stone for the most part. But things like bipods, underslung, scopes, it's a bit of a pain to switch out. Though it is nice it remembers it for each specific gun.

Does anyone else feel like they are moving around in cement shoes in the beta? It's ridiculously slow and clumsy, and the higher damage makes it worse. There's just so much that feels wrong and doesn't work...hope dice is hard at work before this goes gold.

Yeah it was better I think but it's still drops to unplayable frames occasionally. And at random times like on a close up killcam in the subway. Next death was fine; not choppy and like 60 fps. It seems to get worse as I play...

No but the enemy looks like he is in fast forward when I'm outside. Trying to track them in a scope is crazy.
You have to lead them. I'm sure they are gonna get this all worked out , but so far I'm not having much fun.
They run to fast outside and I can't see jackshit in the tunnel.
Brought my k/d up from .45 to .50 , but it was like duck hunting.
You have to lead the A-holes big time.

My 5850 handles High settings at 1680 x 1050 no problem. At least 30+ FPS during explosions. Don't know what the heck they are doing wrong.
