I mean if only the match i played was played on my pc...because i have it on PS3

Why you play epic game on a lesser platform

So you don't play it on PC? meh I need to add some frequent players as friends. The ones I have added either don't play much or are constantly suffering from PEBCAK

Lol, when it came out my old pc struggled with COD4, so i got it on PS3.
Im seriously thinking of getting it on PC for the HD Destruction
Will there be any updates if i do get it?

[THE_STIG]

Yes. around 4.5gb worth

one of said friends has a dusty, dirty,beaten up and unloved 2ghz core 2, 2gb ram and an HD4850. He insists that the game is rubbish because he cant play it properly.

[Mickzter97]

4.5!?...i'll still get it.
R390 for BF3, BF3 B2K and BF3 Close Quarters! I love BT Games

[Mickzter97]

I just realised something
BF3 + my Sennheiser headphones = AWESOME!!!

Yes, the sound in that game is fantastic

OMG NOOOOOOOO, i still have that 4gb still to do, where will this madness end, will probably only be able to play then next week

[THE_STIG]

Well it has not come out just yet, I read somewhere that it will be out at around 4pm. some of the supposed fixes seem pretty pointless to me.....why wont they fix actual problems like the crashing that so many experience or the fact that the game does not always launch first time

[THE_STIG]

Finally I have finished the update. Now I must get that new expansion pack

NO!!! Buy Premium, you will save money.

Was thinking about that. But where can I buy it, I see it is on the origin store.....but getting it there would require it to be downloaded right??

i guess so

Roughly it costs R425, but don't forget about the Close quarters expansion coming out on 12/06/2012

[THE_STIG]

I want to buy it but having to download it would be a big waste of R400.

I can get the expansions from origin as they are only product keys, the last one was anyway.......but at least I can play again now.

//But meh I need to get used to the changes, the mouse movements feel different, my SKS is rubbish now......

not sure I follow you on this comment. even if you get the expansions on Origin, you would still need to download them anyways.

also remember, the latest 2-3Gig patch is that big cause it already includes the content for the expansions, so I would say rather buy it for the R400 and don't make that download a waste as opposed to having to download that 'patch' and not being able to use the new content.

[StarBound]

Yeah my internet is throttled thanks to the 22gb I dedicate to the PSN+ free games and GW2 patch not to mention the E3 week. So I was surprised to find a 2gb patch for BF3 ontop of that but then I heard the content isnt free. So not impressed and BF3 will probably be leaving my SSD in the next month or so.

I get the patch from somebody I know who has a fast(at times) uncapped line. All I want to know is, is premium just a set of codes or is it a set of rather large files?

If it is just a bunch of codes then sure I will buy it.

[Off-The-Chart]

well as I said, if you say you get the patch from somebody else, then by getting the patch you will have all the files you will need for the premium content.

no it is just a download on your account. (well the way I did it was with no keys)

[KillerByte]

Okay Premium is a bunch of codes to unlock the content that will be downloaded to your machine in the updates/patches. Its the same thing that happens with COD. The DLC is downloaded to your machine so that when you unlock it you have immediate access to it.

[Off-The-Chart]

am I misunderstanding what you mean by "bunch of codes"???

are you talking about separate keys as in CD keys??

Yep.

Thanks, now I must just have a look at the payment options again.....I hope they allow for EFT.

The R400 is worth it it seems, since you get access to the upcoming expansions a bit earlier then everyone else

[Off-The-Chart]

well I bought it through Origin via the Battlelog page, not via Origin program, and I wasn't sent any keys.

What were you sent?

[Off-The-Chart]

nothing

as it is account bound so guess the "key" is automatically associated/linked to account.

oh, ok. so it unlocked everything automatically then.
