Yes but not going to be buying right away. Think I'll be doing the same exact thing I did with the previous Battlefield games. Wait awhile until after their release to buy them, play single player first and then multiplayer.

EDIT: I wouldn't mind playing Battlefield 3 and the other Battlefield games with the rest of TPU.

I am going to buy BF3. I would love to play with some TPU members but I choose the play with another group. Because I will probably tend to play with my gaming clan more.

Definitely buying, and I'm going to do it soon. I waited far too long to get into Bad Company 2, so I don't want to redo that. I should have bought it off Newegg when it was $48

Preordered in January, cancelled since apparently it was digital only, re-preordered for a boxed copy when Origin fired up and had to pay MORE with tax...:banghead:

I'd love to play with TPU'ers but I'm 99% sure I'll be playing hardcore only and most didn't ever play HC for BC2 so I lone wolfed it most of the time.

OT: Already pre-ordered a box copy. And with most the TPUer's being yanks, I doubt I'll be doing much playing on 250+ ping servers :eek:

It is open to all but not everyone will be invited, MoH and people who have special pre orders are garunteed a spot though I think. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the beta is only 48 hours from release so not such a big deal.

Which If I remember correctly gives about 3 weeks of time to play, assuming the beta lasts until launch. Logically, probably closer to a week and a half or so.

Should have been in during the first Bad Company. Lot better balanced MP IMO. No cheatin kill cam or story copied from MW. Vehicles could actually climb anthills without stalling. Then artillery fire and guided bomb drop...I miss them. Ya good tank drivers could avoid a bomb drop but if you tagged one but aimed for the buddy, boom! Good times. Shame it turned into a cesspool of spawn camping and hacking in the end. Course it just goes to show that consoles are not free of hackers by a long shot.

Preordered BF3 via...ugggg...Origin. Best preorder package deal aside from Gamestop. Least this way, I get in beta.

Yes, I'l be buying it.

why not support a game that was made for the PC from the ground up?? Not only is that one of the reasons i am getting it, but i also want my buy to show that PC Community is still here and should not be shafted *cough* activision *cough*

Pre-ordered a couple of days ago on Origin. I'll definitely play with other TPU members as long as they play some HC because that's all that I play.
