Ahh, I missed you asking a serious question earlier.

I would imagine most places are doing a midnight release. The piece of shit Hastings here in town is doing one I believe.

Man, I miss Hastings. How come you don't like it? It was the best store ever that also rented things out and gave you free coffee (I know they stopped doing that some time ago).

No customer service, I think Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines just came off the Best Renters wall, nothing seems to be in any order, prices are too high for most rentals/books/games/etc....


Seriously, most of what bothers me about the place is their customer service. I was looking for a particular older movie. It was a drama, so I looked through the dramas......I spent 30 minutes looking on my own for it and just never could find it. Walked up to one of their reps, I said "hey, do you have X movie"....bitch types into her computer says "Yeah - it's right over there in drama" and turns and walks away from me.

I get shit like that all the time from them.....but we really don't have any other place to go to rent movies/games & it's really the only bookstore in Hutch.....so we end up going anyway.

Ahh. LOL sounds about right. I thought the shitty customer service was unique to the Lawrence store due to it being a college town and employing college students but I guess not.

But yeah, that was the spot to just go and browse some nights and have a cup of their free shitty joe and a cigarette outside on those benches.

My son is an avid reader. We went in looking for a particular book. We started looking by title, couldn't find it. I thought, "Oh, everything is arranged by Author" until I saw some shit like Appleton next to Williams in the middle of the row halfway through what I thought was the alphabet.

Gave up and we bought the thing online.

LMAO

Appleton next to Williams. Reminds of the abortion of the book store that is Half Price Books.

I swear they just walk down the isle and throw shit on the shelves. "What, a thriller/drama? That belongs over there by the Dora the Explorer books."

If you need something to hold you over, this site is streaming live battles. http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1210410p1.html

WVChief, can you put a list of players in the header?

I need to add people I think.

Gamertag: Vickedson

I'm going to. I don't think I'm going to get the game til wednesday or thursday though.

They are playing on 360 and the graphics look pretty terrible.

OK I just got my email from Newegg, so it'll probably ship tomorrow. I bet I get the game friday evening!

Most of the time with Newegg's free shipping I get the game the day after it comes out.

I knew they were playing on the xbox 360 but I din't think the graphics looked bad, just not nearly as good as the pc version.

Local 24/7 Walmart is going to have the game on the shelves at midnight. Booyah! Going to do the ol' switcharoo. Newegg can't keep me down.

Does Walmart sell the PC version?

Can you buy a physical copy of the PC Version or is through Origin only?

And whatever happened to that 11th hour deal with Steam?

my body is ready

And my name on Origin is LaMesaCharger. Please add me.

Four hours, fellas.

EDIT: 6 hours for Buck. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Supposedly EA let the game go early for PC. People are already playing. I'll let you know as soon as this download finishes.

See the post below please.

I was thinking about going out to get it tonight, but then I remembered that I'm old and have no desire to try to play tonight.

Whats Origin? Whats Battlelog?

What do I need to do?!? Ack! It's too much!

You're playing on 360 right? That's a PC thing.

Origin is like Steam, but for EA games only.

Yeah, I might get too tired too. We'll see. Right now I'm still a go, but we'll see how I feel in 2 hours.

2 minutes remaining in my download, asshole.

/jelly

Have fun, man.

Looks like since I bought the Limited Edition on Amazon I can download it starting at midnight.

Can't wait to play this game just hoping my PC can handle it

**** I have to wait an hour and 20 minutes more.

Your release date will be: Monday, October 24, 2011, 21:00

I tried to log into battlelog and it said:

"Your account is not allowed to login"

wtf is that about?

Me too. Weird.

I think you have to wait until midnight eastern.

either that or a code that comes in the box with the game

I like the part where you get to shoot people pew pew pew

I want it! My gamertag is RawIntensity00. Some have added me already. I will get it this weekend maybe possibly.

Any confirmation on whether the PC version has native xbox controller support?

Yes it does. I read it somewhere earlier.

cool, thanks.:thumb:

Battlelog may be the worst thing I've ever used.

It's amazing. Way better than MW2.

The menus are sort of confusing though.

Back from Walmart. Bout to give it a solid 40 minutes before I go to bed. I gotta say, BF3 midnight crowd is way nerdier than MW2 crowd was when I got it in 2009.

159MB patch on XBL as soon as you pop the disk in. Good looking out, Dice.

And a 1.5GB "HD Content Installation". Seriously, what the ****, lol.

I thought it was like a 6gig install on xbox to play online with better graphics..

Caspian Border + Stinger Missiles

Do it.

Must stop playing Gears....

so far so good. just doing the campaign and its ****in intense. ****in tough in hard mode. love everything about. has the COD feel to it. have yet to try multiplayer just because I want to get the buttons right before I jump in the pit.

I'll be on BF3 (360) tonight after work around 11:30 p.m. CST and then pretty much all tomorrow during the day.

I'm not sure I can stay up that late anymore. Ever since I quit chewing I've been asleep by 11pm which is freaking ridiculous.

I'm waiting for my copy to get delivered. But I probably won't be able to get on til midnight. I prefer death matches over rush. My gamertag is RoyMunson58 on Xbox 360 if anybody wants to add me.

Just arrived at work.

Will probably be on sometime tonight.

-over

Yeah I will try later.. Keep getting the connecting to server error..

I've been reading some reviews and searching other forums for opinions and based off of what I'm reading, no way I'll buy this.

What are they saying?

Uh oh I better take my copy back and see how much they'll give me

LMAO

That's all I needed to hear. Not wasting my money.

Well it is too late for me but after reading some reviews most don't like the Single Player campaign but love the Multiplayer. Works for me.

Dont rely on 4 chan for your reviews.

The game is awesome.

Alright, I have an exploit if you want to level up faster.

It's not a glitch or anything, so it's not cheating.

On Caspian Border, behind the A flag (on the side nearest the Russian Spawn) there is a huge boulder formation with plenty of shrubs for cover.

Grab the A flag, hide in the bushes. Let the other team cap A. When they leave just scoot forward a couple feet and take A back. Rinse, Repeat.

This is only if you want to level up, it won't level your guns or anything. Whatever you do, don't shoot at the enemy while they are taking A because you'll give up your position and you won't be able to use that for the rest of the round.

So what happens when someone that isn't reeruned decides to bomb the flag because they know someone is nearby recapping the flag? Were you playing against a bunch of 6 year olds?

It's not close enough to do damage. You are pretty protected. I'll try to get a screengrab of where I'm talking about. I've done this in 3 different servers so far. I mean, the point of the game is to capture the flags right? I don't know if you would consider it cheating or not, but it helps your team win.

I could have told you that since it was announced.

Of course it's not cheating, you're doing your job. All these hiding places will be found eventually, it just takes a little a bit.

So in this picture, my back is closest to the U.S. deployment area. You want to be on the backside of that boulder that my gun is pointing at. Up there you are completely covered from people down at flag A.

In the last game I played I went against my rule of not shooting from up there because I didn't want to give away my position, but there were 3 n00bs just ****ing around standing down near A messing with each other so I couldn't cap it back. They were in for a surprise when I lit all 3 of them up with my SCAR-H.

I guess I'm still used to a commander that can deploy the UAV or run a scan and find you

So for a guy who's never played a Battlefield game and has only played Black Ops.......is it worth picking up?

See I know nothing about that. I never played Battlefield before. I do know that I'm a few XP away from getting some kind of unmanned robot that can...

"A remotely controlled Explosive Ordinance Disposal robot allows the engineer to repair and damage vehicles like a normal repair tool, but can also arm and disarm explosives and MCOM stations in Rush. "

This game calls for a lot of camping I've noticed.

I can't tell you how the console experience is, but I got tired of COD, and this fits right up my alley.

It's a fast download, doesn't seem like 1.5gb at all.

I think it's an install from the disc and not a download. I was just kind of surprised... I've never seen shit like that before.

And as far as spotting people, you can still use UAVs but you have to actively press a button when your crosshair is on the enemy to spot him (it's the back button on 360, not sure what it is for PC... I think it was wheel click for BF2142).

I never played a BF game before until the beta and I hated it. It is like playing in a lobby full of Ghost campers but on maps 100 times as big as Array.

I would say rent it first but I don't even know if you can play Battlefield online without paying for an online pass.

Renting it would almost be impossible right now.....guarantee it. The Blockbuster where I live is still out of copies of ****ing Madden 12.

Redbox?

None available.

I guess I'll just check Redbox.com every day until there is one available....and then I'll reserve it.

Thanks for the reminder. I just picked up the last one in Springfield.

:(

lol @ comparing that beta to anything battlefield is about

I just picked it up! Let's do this!

Enjoy playing SP only or ponying up $10 for MP.
