There is a beta installer torrent out as well, don't know if I'm allowed to post it or not. I also don't know if you need the MoH LE or Pre-order email key to run this installer even when the beta is open later today.

Hmm.

20 Kb/s, thats 2 days 8 hours.

I'm not sure that is the best way to go about it. Looks like im going to wait for the official Origin download, or play it on XBox.

FelipeInside
Play it on XBOX? Whattttttt>>>

My thoughts exactly. That's too much Nerd-Rage, and pushing it way too far. I don't care how mad I was... I would never do this. :lol:

Its sad for me to say this, but its likely im going to get the Xbox version first. *Pause to allow for the general disbelief*

Most of my mates play on Xbox so I think I will get more fun out of that copy. BUT! I WILL get it on PC so im not completely mad. Dont worry either way im still going to get the PC Beta.

That's cool. I was just joking hehe. I own an Xbox but I am definitely getting BF3 on PC. I totally understand why some gamers would go the Xbox route. Xbox Live is pretty darn good when it comes to gaming with friends. And while some of us have most friend gamers that mainly game on the Xbox. It's hard not to.

I just finished playing a few rounds on my Xbox 360, and man was it a big letdown.

It looks like I will be passing on this game.

What didn't you like?C_Rule

Everything, pretty much.

For starters, the graphics actually made me LOL when the match first started. For a second I thought it might be some kind of a goof, and that the "real" graphics would soon kick in with a "haha, we had you going there for a minute, didn't we" type of message to follow. It truly looks like crap.

As far as everything else goes, it felt exactly like Bad Company 2 to me, and I don't like Bad Company 2. If you like BC2, I'm guessing that you will like BF3.

I was hoping that this game would be different enough (and better than) Bad Company 2, but it feels like just more of the same to me, and more of the same is not at all what I wanted from DICE.

Maybe others will think it is pure awesomeness, but the only thing that will get me to purchase the game (at a sale price) is if the PC version looks 1,000 times better than that crap up on Xbox Live.

No, just open origin, point to game downloaded folder from internode/optus/telstra and click find games and then play.

Top right, tools then settings, change it to where you downloaded and refresh your games.

Yes, exactly what I told C_Rule above, you need to point to the directory and then hit "refresh my games"

If you downloaded the game client before, you would have stored it somewhere, in Origin, go to settings, and look where the install folder is, you need to put what you downloaded in there.

select where you want to store your game installers. Yes. Mine is under C:\ProgramData\Origin\DownloadCache\

This is the default Origin directory. I've never changed it.

I think everyone downloading it killed Origin, your just gonna have to keep trying.
