are they all stuck on the COD crap?

BF3 is pure multiplayer heaven, plus I'm really hoping that all the COD snobs/kids don't come over so that I can finally play a multiplayer shooter like the old days, with tactics and not whining random kills.

I'll probably spend a day or 2 doing the Singleplayer campaign before diving into multiplayer, since if I start with multiplayer, I'll probably never go back to the campaign lol

I'm pretty sure he's limited to how many games he can buy with the employee discount (otherwise, he could totally be making some $$$ on the side ). Besides, it'd take too long to ship to you, probably not worth the wait

game kept failing to get into multiplayer, I put in about 2 hours last night (or at midnight) of campaign. I'm sold and impressed, even beyond the hype. First game to test my pc in a long time.

I got $20 off for buying on Origin. Their system is pretty dumb. They don't update the order status or charge you until it is out for delivery in your city. Thus leaving you to think your order wasn't registered correctly.

I just got my tracking number and it looks like I'll be getting it today after all!

This is what I was going for, but after putting the game in the Xbox a damn update was necessary. I don't know if it was my Xbox or my internet but I got tired of waiting for the update to finish and just went to bed frustrated.
I cant wait to get off work and play all night long!!!!

This game looks great! It's pretty well optimized as well.

I'm running a GTX 570 SC (driver 285.62). Game is on ultra and my FPS stay around 47 - 57 depending on what's going on in game.

I just finished up on the jet level (forgot the name). It was .

Anybody that got BF3 for the XBOX 360, does your disc make loud noises when you are playing the Campaign?

only seems to be making the disc reading/spin noise for Disc 2 (Single Player Campaign)

This game is great. The graphics are amazing. I need to install the main disc on the hard drive to save on load time but just wanted to play last night. Hopefully I will beat the rest of the campaign tonight and then move on to multiplayer.
