Just got my invite for the Alpha trial, will log on and grab it tonight I think. Can't wait to see how it looks and runs on my machine.

Just got up and had my mine waiting for me aswell, guess I know what I am going to be doing til I leave for work later :)

Not expecting much in the game at this point, because of the Alpha status, but will be good to get an early look.

Wish I could get into the alpha, but probably won't :( (same with the early beta, I didn't get moh limited edition :/)

I've played all the battlefield games but have found it hard trying to get them all on my veteran status. I am having a hell of a time remembering my accounts from the older battlefield games. Right now I only have bf2 and bad company on my veteran status.

I don't think it has anything to do with veteran status. The account I got the invite on was a pretty new account with only BC2 on it. The only thing that changed for me was that I pre ordered BF3 last week, maybe that was why I got the invite.

As for the game, I have been playing for the last few hours and it is awesome! It plays a lot better than I thought it would for an alpha, I was also suprised by the fact that the entire game is controled via the browser, you can only launch the game from your battlelog page.

I believe one of their blog posts said the invites were determined by your veteran status and being signed up to the newsletter

What newsletter is this?

I am a Veteran 8, literally have every single main game in my account, swore I signed up for the newsletter, and I have not gotten a single invite. Pretty ****ed about it TBH.

it is random. ppl with no games or vet status on their account have gotten in

Yeah that is what I figured, I just checked, I definitely signed up for the newsletter (I read their FAQ about which newsletter), so yeah, it has nothing to do with Veteran Status.

The latest batch were apparently all those with their ea profile converted to origin account. But dont quote me on it.

I did that Day 1 Origin was introduced.

Maybe they just don't like me. :laugh:

hmm, what does that mean exactly? I use orgin with my pre-existing ea account already.

I think just that. Linking your main EA account with Origin.

I guess I'm unlucky. I recently found out that the e-mail address associated with my EA account since 2009 hasn't been verified. I found out while I was browsing my EA account and noticed a link that said "Send activation e-mail." Anyway, I received an e-mail that said "In the coming months your EA Account and profile will be upgraded to a new Origin Account." I guess that means older non-Origin EA accounts are not eligible for the BF3 alpha.

      Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
