official Battlefield 3

Thanks to whoever linked us to the alien ware dog tag site; snagged one for me :). (To lazy to quote)

I got my code as well but how do I use it in game?

You need to redeem it in the Origin client. Click the cog icon and select "Redeem Product Code".

Redeem a Product code in Origin software options menu.

Where do we create platoons? In-game?

I redeemed the code, got the congratulations message but where in the game to I equip the dogtag?

For anyone with a 32bit Vista/7 and constant "BF3 has stopped working" errors in multiplayer caused by module: bf3.exe, do this:

1) Open a CMD

2) Enter: bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2500

3) Reboot!

This tweak should be completely harmless it just increases the virtual address space to 2.5GB as opposed to 2GB default on a 32bit OS, credit for this goes to striker475, the original Battlog topic: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654489420350764/

Well, I loved the following single players :

Bad Company

Bad Company 2

Modern Warfare

Modern Warfare 2

MOH

(all on pS3)

And I'm excited for this too :) Just because it's not 100% perfect, I guarantee you it's not 's**t' like some idiots here are saying. God, it's like you lot have made a f**king video game of this quality before and think you're amazing at it.

Sorry guys, but I'm looking forward to SP as much as MP :) Maybe I have lower expectations ... or perhaps I have more realistic ones?

It's not in the game. It's in battlelog: soldier's profile > dog tags > edit dog tag.

Great. So I just got the game and installed it from the DVD in Origin. Was all fine and activated.. Then I try to play the game and it then tells me that it failed to activate >_< The only thing I changed was my Origin name after the install of BF3 :/

Edit: So the authentication servers apparently are down.

472MB day 1 patch for PC :o

better then the mandatory 2 gigs you would have to download for BC2 for every patch...

lower expectations. how anyone calls this good must have crappy standards. it's effin easy to. AI is dumb as ****. (only gone half way through, but effin stupid AI). none what they do makes sense. they just fire at you praying they can cut through your cover...

What a pile of **** orrible is, first the damn thing cant even update itself, which steam has done for years, it tells you that you have to download another installer in order to update. then when updated/reinstalled the friggin activation servers are offline. **** Off EA and your crappy servers and crappy pretend steam client. Ass Holes. Why the **** did I buy this game.

[Chemaz]

Just got my copy and the dam activation servers arent working, so cant even install it at the mo!

[Alladaskill17]

Beat the campaign last night. Short. Now waiting for my *ahem* pre-order to arrive from Amazon via FedEx. Played single player using one of my roommate's copies while he played multiplayer. Not bad though.

I keep getting 'You were disconnected from login server'.

Will this help?

Want some cheese with that whine?

[Razorwing]

Just finished the campaign on easy. lol. I quite enjoyed it but the ending was quite rushed imo.

Relax dude, they are having issues .. **** happens.

Personally I haven't had any problems, guess i'm lucky

[M.F.D.K]

Is it just me or the SP mode its just way too short! If you played continuously for 3hrs you can easily finished it. I'm quite disappointed but nevertheless the game looks good and the story is alright. If you want a bit of challenge then go for Hard settings otherwise you'll be going through the game like a sharp knife through butter.

For those having issue activating it in origin so you are unable to install it, go to https://activate.ea.com/ and activate it there, jsut put in product key and login details (will take a few min to open up the page) then close origin and open it back up, BF3 should now be there, so you can now either download it or install it from the disc (which im doing now)

This wont allow you to play it online though as it will need activating again after the patch i think

[The_Observer]

is any having issues with the CD key in the LE version from a SHOP. Ive read reports that people have bought the LE version and when they enter in their CDKEY its just the normal version. (Receiving standard key in BF3 Limited Edition packaging). And when contacting EA they are telling people to contact the shop you bought it from cause its not there fault!

I was way too hard on the singleplayer in my earlier post. After getting past that annoying part I've been enjoying it quite a bit. The story is pretty solid so far.
