Leider darf dieses Spiel aufgrund des Jugendschutzgesetzes in Deutschland nicht zwischen 6:00 Uhr und 23:00 Uhr heruntergeladen werden.

Translated = you can only DL Bf3 Beta between 11 Pm and 6 am, because you might be a kid

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL:

The max settings in the beta actually is NOT ultra. The highest graphics you will get is medium according to some resources @ http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1474225/last

So even if it says being @ ultra is only shows medium.

Thar, I fix'd it.

btw, that screenshot kicks ass if that is indeed just medium settings.

Germany and their silly censoring laws. They're even screwing adults over with shit like that. If you work a nightshift somewhere you can't download it, and I can imagine you have something better to do than download a game at 11 PM.

I was already wondering can my computer REALLY go with 50% ultra settings...

There are some workarounds apparently. You should check out the forums.

My Origin ID is Pappegye.

After my first day of BF3 I can safely conclude that this game will be awesome.

[VMR]

After 2 months of daily bad news about the changes they're doing and how they're ruining a perfectly fine game, and spending 2 hours trying to run the beta without success, I have given up. Unless they drastically change everything about this game, I won't but it.

Also, Origin is shit.

[Darkstar]

Im not massively enthralled by this Beta. I dislike how you have to import friends from origin into battlelog, why cant it just use the friends list without making me do more work?

Also it makes my laptop burn like fires from hell. That and everything's bugging out for me every 5 minutes.

Wat what point does it stop working?

[mogadonskoda]

Spent one hour trying to get game to work as battle log said my origin account didn't have permission to run beta. Realised the problem was I had used my EA download manager account because I assumed it would transfer over to origin, which it kind of did as it let my log in to the origin store and download origin and the beta but wouldn't run battlelog. Asked EA when account would get fully transfered and they said in a few months time. So created new account (Skodamogadon, also why doesn't it allow spaces in names?). I have a shitty thompson router so matchmaking doesn't work so have to use server browser, which doesn't so the servers pings for some reason which meant kept joining laggy servers or timing out losing all the xp I had gained. Didn't really like the map that much and there are loads of bugs(including one where i couldn't tell who was on my team) considering less than a month till release.

[Clavus]

They still have quite a lot of technical issues to iron out, but I don't remember Bad Company 2 being a model of perfection in the beta. And even though the Battlelog and Origin system is reasonably solid, I think it's still making players jump too many hoops to get in a game.

EDIT:

Btw, if you're using Chrome, install this extension: http://www.coderah.com/?page_id=389

Lets you join passworded servers just as easy as any other.

EDIT2:

The github repo he made for the plugin also contains a Greasemonkey script for Firefox users.

Also the lag i get on some of the UK servers makes me suspect that the are on the Falkland islands as at one point I was on 0% hp for 20 seconds then I randomly die.

Found an awesome solution on steam forums how to enable Steam Overlay in BF3:

1. Turn off Origin.
   
2. Add Origin.exe or bf3.exe as Non-Steam app.
   
3. Launch it from Steam.
   
4. Get yourself in-game.
   
5. ?????????
   
6. Profit.

That's a strange Operation Metro you have there

[EmRA]

Probably not gonna buy this, seems like another shooter I'll play for max 2 weeks and then get bored.

Not to mention all that pain in the ass stuff is has installing it/joining games/adding friends.

Also it feels like BC2 with new graphics and not all buildings even collapse anymore

[Nobana]

Both Battlelog and Origin are complete useless bullshit but the game itself is great. Im just gona play Operation Metro, it doesnt lag at all and is awesome too.
