Any luck about steam so we can buy from it ?

Wont be on steam unfortunately, EA is using this to front their steam clone Origin  :?

I'm still waiting for my preorder "early access" beta key... good job EA. 48 early beta access my ass. This is the last time I'm a sucker for EA promotions.

EDIT: after third try of waiting for an hour in EA support chat queue I finally managed to talk to a guy who can speak proper english, who also gave me the key.

Horrible, just horrible.

Have you got any official links or something from a news website that says this, like the last guy did. Not that I don't trust you but it would put a hell of a lot of stuff to bed! :P

Well, I haven't read or seen anything in regards to Origin scanning my PC, and I run extremely high security due also having important work on this one.
Most likely just Activision propaganda, given they're in the pockets of a lot of major gaming networks. If Origin would be scanning my PC in form I'd get an alert and so far nothing.

Otherwise, in general this is a great game, even with only Infantry action it is intense and hectic - unless you're a sad camper sitting in a bush 24/7 of course - Tor, Furax and I have been playing together for a bit, utilizing some team-play and it really makes for a great fun game. Took me a handful of matches to get properly used to the game as well, can't be Rambo you'll get shot to pieces, gotta flank or work your way up slowly, use cover A LOT, take it slow, if you're getting shot at the probability of quickly standing up and shooting your opponent is usually a bad idea, stay in cover and wait for an opportunity - I love that - especially if it's suppressing fire which blurs your screen thus providing cover for team mates.

There's bugs though, some clipping issues with the ground, animations are a bit weird sometimes when people are jumping over objects.

The unlocks are loads of fun as well, having a flash light and being able to blind your enemy (or team mates :P) is great fun, even with the laser sights if you aim at peoples faces it blinds and dazes them shortly, makes for some great close combat quarter fights.

For now Squads are done randomly though can't form or make one which is quite an issue given you can't play with your friends without a bit of a work-around (leave/join squads to try and transfer to each other).

I can't wait for them to release Caspian Border for the demo, going to be amazing :D

As far as I know from EA at gamescom, Yes.

Yeah, shortly. Invert doesn't work for aircrafts and I hate flying without (I use invert on everything, since my first day of FPS).
Managed to do a quick fly around on the map though, downing a squad of infantry and a helicopter with gun only 8-)

Ok so I finally managed to start up my "48 hour" early access. Played a few maps and so far so good. Will try to be objective about this.

Pros and cons of BF3 beta:

+ very nice graphics, considering not all graphic features are enabled yet
+ fair xp/point system, you get a lot of extra points/xp just for support (like kill assist, spotting, suppression fire assist!)
+ love suppression fire mechanic, very good for support and team work
+ sound is simply amazing
+ destruction is nice
+ I actually like the Battlelog thingy
+ nice bipod placement detection, you can actually place bipods on boulders and stuff standing out when crouching
+ flashlight blinding!
+ sniper lens light so you can notice them when they are aiming

- movement seems a bit buggy, atleast outside in the Metro map, walking on the grass and around rocks
- bug where you fall under the map
- damage seems a bit too much like in hardcore mode (but that will be fixed for final version they said)
- as an avid Engineer class player I'm a bit disappointed that RPG rocket explosions aren't bigger
- recoil seems a bit too much
- Metro is a CoD map, not really a true Battlefield map
- Tor is already over rank 30


Open beta starts today!
