I might wait for the price to drop after xmas then consider it, but not at the moment. I tried the beta but its £40 for more of the same old MP online shooter, ala BF2/BBC2 etc.

You guys enjoy it though.

You sure are fickle dude. I'd gladly pitch Origin but I love Battlelog.

I don't want to blow smoke up anyone's ass, but this game is too good not to consider even with Origin. I haven't even signed into Steam since BF3's been released. Origin does suck, you'll get no argument from me. I actually really like Battlelog, it works very well which is in itself amazing.

Exactly what he said. I'm sure it doesn't hurt E's opinion that he's been kicking ass and taking names too but it's a great game. Yes needs some work here and there but they all do at launch.

Yeah as for BL I wonder what's under the hood there...HTML 5? I'm just guessing; don't know much about the web outside of using it.

Especially given that BF3 may well be the most complex (code-wise) game ever made yet.

Right. Like I just asked above I'm curious to know more about the nuts and bolts of Battlelog.

Oh, excuse me, I realize I should have said "kicking ass and taking dogtags" above. :p

No dude as Ive tried to explain three times I'm not talking about the effects of applying AA specifically (less jaggies) but rather that turning off Post seemed to make the whole damn image (game) look less blurred and crisper and better. But no one else seems to care so done beating this horse.

Yes I have it off, I hardly noticed a change when it was on LOW, Medium, or high or off

I really like the M27 IAR on the Marines side. Its looks exactly like the M4 Tactical Airsoft gun ive always wanted. Extended barrel, full top rail, etc

So I was just looking to see what my next M240B unlock was and I spotted this...


WTF is that crap, anyone from DICE can put Sniper scopes on any gun? Looking through all of my LMGs I see those scopes now, and they weren't there days ago?

Scrub me from the club, i have decided not to bother with BF3, i cant stand origin (more unnecessary crap running on my pc) and i don't like the stupid battlelog server browser thing, so feck ea the bunch of wuckfits.

I assume every single Ea game that releases till the end of time will be using Origin from now on. And every single BF will be using Battlelog. So no more EA games and no more Bf forever? I'm not a huge fan of Origin, but it's not like that extra process is killing my computer. And Battlelog is fine, I don't notice any real difference between it and an in-game browser.

How do you guys all feel about the new Hit reg system? I feel like its is much better. The hit boxes don't lag 12 ft behind them. You have to be pretty accurate

Too bad Tigger, i think you will be frustrated trying to join in late, cause by then majority of people will have flairs, missiles, bombs, etc... unlocked. I know I would be irritated by getting killed with these unlocks or cause you didn't have them.

I don't know that the big deal is with origin, like others have stated, you don't need it, just launch the game and use battlelog to pick a game type. That easy. Now, does anybody know how to turn off all the notifications when somebody is on or offline? Cause with so many of you in my friends list on both origin and battlelog, gets a little tedious.

no kurgan they are both originals done from scratch by each person.
Mailman has a clean style despite his physical appearance and I the opposite :)

Yeah, just looked at them now side by side, never did that before. The skull looked similar so I assumed you had textured it all up, but looking at them side by side clearly pretty different.

Nice artwork of both, cheereehoh!

BTW, the thing I like MOST of battlelog, is that once logged in you can just hop into the BF forums or blogs and BITCH AND BITCH AND BITCH, or.... report bugs, sugestions... :)

Testing CPU and GPU in Battlefield 3 at Techspot gives some interesting results.
Basically a Sandy dual core or an AMD A6-3650 paired with a GTX580 will perform on par with all the big guns in gaming CPUs. So no, you don't need a quad or "octo" core to play this game well. You need a strong GPU.

Thanks Crap daddy for posting this, i've been waiting for some articles comparing the different video cards, even better seeing the processors thrown in.

you should just use your EPIC Logo with the skull and stuff you made for BF3/BC2 on the Platoon Page. We want to instill Fear in our enemies. Your artwork does just that. ^_^
