 Why is Origin downloading a 11GB file when I have two DVDs in the case, though?

How long's the PS3 installation?

Just left the midnight release here in Dallas 
felt geeky but f$@# it 

going to go in for about an hour then sleep for work in the morning 

nice and easy release 

now if we can only get the hyped up holiday shoe releases to do the same 

 

[innovazn2]

cant wait to buy this next week
i have like 4 midterms this week so i told myself no

 

[vendetta]

Same specs as last time.  Looks better in person.
First mission so no spoilers.  Beware of Ninjahood size.
Oh and as big a deal as people make the graphics out to be in reality the BF franchise has always been about sound.  Get some 5.1 or 7.1 action going and you're set.

Forgot how long it took, but it didn't take long. Less than 15 minutes, I think. Was installing simultaneously on PC, so I hadn't really kept track of time.

PS3 patch's taking longer to download, albeit being a smaller file size; but that's more because of the slow internet here, than anything.

Game got shipped a few hours ago. Hopefully it gets here by the time I get home from school tomorrow. Can't wait

yup. you need to access the internet to play Multiplayer and Co-op. You need Internet as well to activate it... and to install it. And, judging from the Beta, to run it.

Success! Thank you Tmobile.

10 minutes

that's unnecessary extra $#!@ right

there im not interested in playing with somebody online ( no disrespect to the online players)

but I just want to play with the homies

 

[million dollar stacks]

Got my Copy from the store just now its going down

 

[2g00d4u]

Just played a couple games.

hd4890: didnt bother with high>

went straight to medium. 35-45 FPS (sometimes 50ish) which was surprising to me. Spotting is a little awkward on PC. Plus, theres no medic or ammo command lol...

I still dont know whats going on when I look at the mini-map.

Playable for me but def gotta upgrade. Hopefully new drivers will help

Played for a few hours after I copped at midnight. I'll wait until some of my friends are on this to play objective gametype. I've been playing TDM and run n gun is working just fine for me 

.

I'm a COD player at heart and sometimes these people on this game arent ready for the play style I bring from COD. So many times I've been hitting dudes with the 2K crossover and COD empty clip, pistol switch mow down 9 dudes in 15 seconds

.

so far, PC definitely looks twice as good as PS3. But you definitely won't be disappointed with the PS3 graphics.

Playing the campaign... looks like the 560 Ti with new drivers can run the game on Ultra (in the 24-30fps range most of the time), but there are constant framerate drops (as bad as 16fps

) . I'll stick with choosing to lower select settings to get a more reasonable framerate.

 

[zk1mpls]

any idea how many players maximum can join a co-op game? i've always seen two in previews.

 

[2g00d4u]

I got in a jet and didnt know how to take off. Crashed into the mountains . Lmao

Eh... Played a few hours last night. The game IS pretty fun when everyone is playing correctly and helping each other out in a squad (especially if they're all your friends via XBL Party etc), I would say. Something isn't doing it for me, though. The game looks beautiful, it ran pretty smoothly online. Few troubles, as would be expected, connecting to games on day/ night of release. I'm just not sure how this is going to last when MW3 comes out. The vehicles are really fun to get into, the camo personalization is cool, as well... I'm going to keep playing a few more days. I liked the new "assassination" type of kills, too. I guess I don't feel as I am getting rewarded as much for kills, or not as much appreciation is gained. I'm going to play a bit more once I get off of work.
