This game is broken
User Rating: 2 | Battlefield 3 PC
I was looking forward to buy this game for christmas.unfortunately i was utterly dissapointed.The game mechanics(Origin,battlelog and the game stability),are the worse i ever seen.Firstly origin is annoying not only for working as a "official" spyware but because you must install,activate,and run the game through it,and considering its beta and it consumes ram this thing just cant be good.If you dont have internet forget playing this game in singleplayer,it needs online activation.Lets say you have internet connection(like most people do) and your system is good enough to run it(meets the requirements).The problem is that you may be one of the unlucky ones that the games crashes in 5 mins+- after playing multiplayer.Besides that you have to download an enormous 4GB update and then you may still have problems(like i do).I have done all the things nessecary(having updated graphics driver to latest,and some steps i found on several sites),and this game still crashes.If you are the lucky one that does not have such problems,you will find annoying the fact that you must run your internet browser to join a server and you cant change the settings unless you are in game.
I had played singleplayer and its nothing special,only 2-3 missions were good the other were Call of duty copies.But bf games never were about singleplayer,but multiplayer and if it doesnt work there is a problem.If you dont want an unifnished product dont buy this game.Play BBC2 or BF2 instead which are great games that arent swarmed with problems.If you want to buy this game be cautious.
Yersteday a person told me that he has techical problems as well,but about a message saying something about directx,even though he meets the requirements.I am not sure what they fixed from beta...because beta actually ran much better on me than the retail product.
If you want a game for christmas i suggest getting skyrim,it doesnt have multi but its singleplayer is great.There are many other good games that you might like,bu if you insist buying this, be carefull.
