So I am slightly confused. Am I going to be playing the Beta through Medal of Honor or through Origin (I did preorder on EA's site but before Origin was announced, it is in my list of games though). Also with MoH, I only need the MP client to play if it is through that, also correct?

Through origin it'll be run it seems. If you've pre-ordered then it's enough to get early access same as MoH. No 96 hour early access for you :p

THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY PRE-ORDERED THE PC DIGITAL DOWNLOAD VERSION OF BATTLEFIELD 3 THROUGH ORIGIN OR OWN THE LIMITED/TIER 1 EDITION OF MEDAL OF HONOR FOR XBOX 360, PLAYSTATION 3 OR PC, WILL HAVE EARLY ACCESS STARTING ON SEPTEMBER 27TH. THE OPEN BETA ENDS ON OCTOBER 10TH.

ON PC, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY APPEAR IN THE ORIGIN APPLICATION'S FREE GAMES PAGE.

So there are people playing it now I guess? Is that the 96 hour early access?

Oh I see, well I have the Tier 1 Limited Edition of MoH for PC, so I guess I will be getting that access.

I got that too but why does Origin says they are already used? o.o

That's what's threw me off. Says that for XBL, too. Also since there are so many keys given out I'm wondering if these are one use codes? Wonder how that'll work out tomorrow.

Edit: Just saw pupik's post. And now that I've seen a key that I wrote down earlier show up on Gamespot again, I guess I'll just wait for the 29th.

Because you can activate the keys now. It's the beta that will be activated later on for early access one and later (on 29th) for the rest.

No, one of the hosts specifically mentioned that the keys will be activated around 3pm EST tomorrow (Tuesday).

I still

anyone received their key for pre ordering bf3 on origin yet?

I still haven't gotten my key yet. According to all the times people are posting I won't be getting it until early tomorrow morning.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
