I got an email telling me to download origin, but not BF3.


Just a quick question, will this Laptop be able to run BF3?
I don't really know much about computer parts.


Processor: Intel i5 480m (2.67Ghz)
Ram: 6GB
Graphics: ATi 6550m

On "canyourunit.com", it says it can pass the minimum requirements, but i'm not too sure.

I had to turn it down to medium on my 460 to get reasonable frame rates at 1920x1200.

And I've had one server crash on me so far.

Runs well on Ultra (some settings not, like shadows/blur) getting around 50fps on my GTX 560.

Apparently servers are all down for 30 mins now

Yeah, and still getting booted off servers (assume a server crash) quite frequently.

Gonna take a while to get used to the maps, played one where I was racking up points just sitting in the AA gun on the carrier and could basically shot at either aircraft or even vehicles and people on the map at half the points.

Grrr, come on servers, i wanna play some more. On a side note - where the hell do you change the keyboard mappings? This new battlelog thing is a little confusing.

EDIT: So Now when I run the game I get the error :ERR_LOGIN_DISPLAYTOS: rebooted and same issue - was working fine before the server reboot. Anyone else having issues? I only kept the proxy on for the initial check - are you guys leaving it on while you play?

Looks to me you change them in the in game menu: key bindings.

Anyone getting this error when they try to log onto a server?:

"Something strange happened, please report this issue: ERR_LOGIN_DISPLAYTOS"

Edit: It appears so. Same error message with and without the proxy.

google searches now coming up with the ERR_LOGIN_DISPLAYTOS. I would assume they found a way to pwn North American people until midnight.

Dammit.

Was playing the single player campaign and it's pretty fun so far.

We should share our Origin ID's, though I'm not sure if I want ppl to see how bad I am

Storky92 on Origin, though I've heard that Origin friends don't populate the BF3 friends list.

Everything runs so much better compared to beta. It looks twice as good, runs better, no destruction lag... it's beautiful.

jakeryley on Origin/BF3.

...this game's visual/audio fidelity is unrivaled. Freaking blown away by the campaign and the multiplayer ain't no slouch either (but the campaign, for obvious reasons, is a step above MP).

Saw a video showing a 10 minute dog fight between two fighters while a major battle is happening on the ground.

In one amazing moment the pilot of the lead plane dove for the ground and pulled out at like a 100 feet and you could see 4 tanks exchanging fire on the ground while Infantry was swarming around exchanging fire. Then he pulled up, went vertical, spun and dove and came out right on the tale of his enemy fighter that he greased with a missile shot, then he banked and gunned a couple of helicopter gunships. Meanwhile the whole landscape was in flames.

I might have to buy this thing.

I've been playing since about 5:30 this morning (taking a quick breakfast break) and the game has been running really well.

Also - the new maps are pretty nicely done. There seems to be good balance and tactics/teamwork sure makes a difference.

I've officially converted to "Positive" about this game - worth buying it.

Love the new effects when you are shot and the recoil effects as well, makes the game so much more realistic.
