Gonna take a few days.

4 or 5 hours on 3mps 

I have 1.5

Plus, I wont be downloading all day since I have other people on the internet and downloading anything large slows down the network big time.
Ill be running it mostly overnight.

Good thing we can preload. When I heard Amazon was doing this, it made the deal even sweeter.

A DVD case wouldve been cool though. Sorta like a collectors-type thing.

Where'd you get your copy from, 17?

 

[zk1mpls]

^ I'm upgrading to a 5mbps connection soon as well. That's the fastest over here without being ridiculously expensive (although it does cost $80 a month already

). Currently have a "1.5 mbps" connection.

A DVD case wouldve been cool though. Sorta like a collectors-type thing.

Something like this?

They offered it to us over here first... but they changed it to a $%^# bootleg T-shirt instead because they couldn't meet demand.

only thing he can play is single player, an thats only on consoles , no way he can get into origin page cause its not up yet =D

 

[zk1mpls]

I thought Origin was a PC-only thing? I think he's playing on the XBOX360. How are the online multiplayer servers already live, though?

Same here. Every time I reload a page, it goes blank.

   honestly have not the slightest clue to what your talking about, i just typed in my online pass and jumped into multiplayer matches, there were only like 7 other dudes online at the time though so that kinda sucked and they all were playing rush, i'll take a picture of the leaderboards or something for you when i get home though, no need for me to lie or brag about a video game.

 

[zk1mpls]

^ you're on the 360, correct?

yes sir

 

[sladewilson]

you need at least 8 people online on the same map at the same time to start a game , if not you cant move or go anywhere unless theres 8 people 

 

[zk1mpls]

^ he did say there were 7 other guys on the server with him, though.

 

[proshares]

The launch trailer has me really hyped to play the SP.

you sure, because lastnight i played a match and it was 3 vs. 2, took like 10 mins to find someone and when i did the other dude kill me with the tank

, but for the rest of the night it was 4v4 still pretty boring but im still getting the hang of it so i dont mind for now,also thought that every multiplayer match started by parachuting to the map, i thought wrong  thats only one map and thats to get to an objective

4v4 kinda does suck in Battlefield. Maps are too large.

The parachute jump is only done by the attacking squad, but only on select maps. Just like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 I guess.

oooooh, never played the BF series before, i just saw the trailer and got kind of excited

, and yea the maps are way too large for 4v4 or anything lower than 7v7 for that matter, there was a dude yesterday who just layed on a rock for like 15 minutes sniping and i could not figure out exactly where he was. i couldn't fly a jet to save my life lastnight literally, died like 4 times trying to pilot that thing

 

[witnessmycalm21]

OMFG! Dat Launch Trailer

 

[dredwards]

i'm a COD dude but might have to give this game a try...
