I vote the solid!

Looking at the Stan icon at the top of this page it does appear that the solid red is canon.

Solid tie is solid!

So the PC platoon is up and linked in the OP, and apparently the 360 platoon can't be created until people get their discs or something.

And as a reminder, if you were in the beta platoon, you have to re-join.

My K/D in this game is going to be atrocious. I really wish that wasn't a stat they tracked. MP is a blast though. I played Caspian and the map is HUGE! Oh Battlefield how I've missed you!

GAAAAH!!!! I just want my copy to arrive. This sucks.

Applied to the platoon as Inzpire. Looking forward to some BF3 lovin soon!

Is everyone still doing that IP proxy trick? I just tried launching it since there's rumors it's been officially released, but it says the release date isn't until tomorrow.

Currently finding it really hard to play a full round without crashing. Updated to the latest drivers, not entirely sure what else to try apart from going windowed or lowering the settings.

Someone was saying that they unlocked it for Origin preorders. Servers are down for maintenance atm, so ...

Well I won't be too disappointed if it doesn't unlock since I have to be up early in the morning. But if I could just hop on for an hour or so...

I failed the date authentication just now, but it was during the advertised downtime.

Anybody here Inzpire or scd73? Don't recognize the names off hand, and they aren't in the google doc.

Game is down for maintenance, should be up very soon if not now.
and yes, use the proxy trick unles they patched it to work without.

Just tried a quick match and THE GAME SEEMS TO BE BACK UP

Hey this is scd73. I changed my Origin name to OptimisticGWJ but I guess it hasn't took yet. Please add me when you get the chance. Looking forward to playing tonight!

Inzpire is whispa, he posted near the bottom of the previous page.

EDIT: I do think it's kinda cool to verify that people actually have GWJ accounts, btw. Thanks.

Me three. I just did the Korean trick, which seemed to work, but now this. Alas!

While I was watching TV, somebody got you.

I did the Korean trick again and didn't stop the VPN and it let me into a server. Tried again after I stopped it - nope. So they patched it, damn.
Just to be safe, change your passwords wherever you've logged in with the VPN/proxy.

I just got booted after getting back in. Might be done for the evening.

Sweet. I just got shipping confirmation from Amazon. My copy of BF3 is in transit from IN and should hopefully be in my possession when I get home from work. Are the stats reset tomorrow or have you early access players been building up your unlocks?

I'm playing online!

Playing the Campaign...
Currently killing endless waves of dudes because I cannot get the game to progress.
No marked objective. No open doors. Just two friendlies chilling in the middle of the room and an endless supply of baddies taking up defensive positions at the end.

Yup, sounds like Call of Battlefield 3. They basically copied the storyline, infinite spawning waves to artifically add length to the SP, and set-piece heavy style from COD. It's too bad they couldn't have been a little more original but I guess they're desperately trying to cater to the COD demographic.

My release date check moved up to 11 PM tonight! Woo!

Playing in a squad with Bear. Even killed some dudes that round!

I'm now 3GB into a supposed 48.1MB download.

Pretty sure it's actually re-downloading the entire game.

Someone from NeoGAF apparently found a fix for that.

FIXED the "Repair Install" issue.

1. Open up C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3

2. Rename the Bf3.exe DiP Somethingsomething to Bf3.exe

3. Restart Origin.

Looks like mine got bumped up to midnight EST. Soooo tempting.

So wow, these graphics are so good it's disorienting. And I haven't played much Conquest in years. I think I need to find a Rush server.
