haha, what a bunch of running trans and freaks over at IGN.

BTW, why do they call themselves IGN? "I got nothing" for sure fits them, but..., are these guys crazy?

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

I'd be a "freak" for that job in a heartbeat.

 

[AphexDreamer]

EDIT: It was release date check.

[ShiBDiB]

So I'm officially pre-loaded, can launch to the release date checker.. and I've also gotten my refund from origin for the game 2 weeks ago... Free games rule

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah yeah Shib we get loud and clear that you seem to have gotten the damn game for free and Im going to point and laugh hard when you can't actually play.

I mean I guess it's possible their shit is truly not that together but Id be pretty shocked. They don't mess around with their revenue.

[kg4icg]

[t77snapshot]

I want to friend all my TPU buddies who will be playing BF3 MP.

What are your game names?

You can find me under: snapshot7

 

[AphexDreamer]

Seeing how no one gets charged until the actual game is released, people who haven't yet paid and think they are going to get the game for free are in for a rude awakening once they relize it doesn't launch.

If you want the game you better make sure they have your card on file and that you have enough funds in it else you'll be missing out on that 1st day launch you thought you'd be playing in.

Um not true?

I paid and received a refund meaning..
The money was in my account, taken out, then refunded back into my account.. (Technically refunded back into my paypal as thats what I paid thru)

Not saying it's gonna work, just saying the whole "Money gets withdrawn on launch" is wrong.

 

[t77snapshot]

I heard that some of your guys got multiple emails. one for the game dl yes, but what were the other downloads? dlc patch etc? I'm just asking because I only received the one email to dl the game.

Nothing, all about the game. just seems to be a bug in their emailer.

Ok, thanks. So the patch will just dl @ game launch on the 25th then?

This is true, my payment is pending in my bank statement and has already been charged in my PP account.

 

[ShiBDiB]

zh1nt0:
For Origin downloads, the day 1 patch and the client are bundled in 1 download.

If you have ordered it via hard copy (a DVD), I’m 99% sure they will get the patch once the installer completes.

Planet Battlefield - 'Battlefield 3: The Russian' Author Talks About Working with DICE

Spoiler

Friday, 21 October, 2011 at 12:46 PST | ^Scott^ | Print News

The e-book edition of Battlefield 3: The Russian is available for pre-order on Apple's bookstore for $8.99. A 50 page preview can be downloaded now through the iBook app on your iOS device. Below is a note from the author Andy McNab who talks about working with DICE on the game and writing the book.

Author's Note

I have been invited to work alongside many different gaming companies in the past, but up until now, I have always turned down their offers. But the opportunity to work with DICE and help develop Battlefield 3 was an opportunity I didn't want to miss. Not only did it mean I'd get to work with garners whose track-record of ground breaking games is world known, but it was also clear right from the start, that BF3 had something special, something that other games didn't. The only word I can think of that explains it, is 'substance'. BF3 wasn't going to be a simple shoot 'em up- it was going to be packed with emotion, grit and the sheer physicality to take any gaming experience to another level.

I was first asked by the development team to help weave together the different storyline strands which make up the levels of the game. I worked with the team by providing ideas on how the action might play out, and just as importantly, giving possible reasons as to why the action might go in a particular way. I gave advice on how soldiers talk, act and think. For example, soldiers within the game needed to have the exact words and inflections to accurately reflect how solders in the real world speak. Words like 'maybe', 'we will try to' or 'we will attempt', don't exist in a soldier's world. We use words like 'you will', 'I will', 'we will'. All dialogue is progressive because soldiers in the real world must be positive in every-thing they do. After all, real lives are at stake, so there is no room for failure.

The second part of my role was to work alongside the team's graphic designers to make sure what you see and hear as you play the game feels 'right'. We would sit for hours talking about how men and machines move tactically and how they look, even down to making sure that the soles of soldier's boots were dirty and worn. A desert camp that is attacked by US tanks within the game is an exact replica of a camp on the Iraq/ Iran border that I flew over four years ago. Authentic detail is so important because our brains are very good at telling us when something isn't just right.

The third part of my job was to work with the actors and stuntmen in the motion capture studios, to ensure the game's characters moved like men who had been handling weapons and fighting with them for all of their lives. I also explained their lines to them, so that they could do their job and display the appropriate emotions like fear, anger and determination as they carried out the task ahead. BF3 is the most sophisticated game ever because it gives the player a far deeper, more physical presence within the world in which he/she is playing. An ex-US Tank Commander who has seen the game said the whole experience was better than any simulator he had ever been in, and that it gave him flashbacks to the Iraq war in a very positive way. But the game is just one window into the BF3 experience-this book is another. It seemed a natural progression to write a novel based on the game as there is still so much more of the story to tell. That story is Dmitri 'Dima' Mayakosky' s, a Russian ex-Spetsnaz Special Forces soldier. He finds himself in a world that no longer has the certainty of the old Communist dictatorship he once served.

Dima will certainly never win a humanitarian award for the role he plays in BF3, but the novel gives you the opportunity to see things from his point of view, and maybe understand the decisions and actions he takes when he finds himself in this most impossible of situations. I hope you enjoy the book and game. I think they work really well together.

I want to experience the first minutes of the game with my own eyes, no spoilers for me thank you.

 

[erixx]

Just in case, reading the ''manual'' piece of toilet paper, it says that there are 3 levels: easy with aim help, normal with some aim help, and expert without.

Funny cause I paid and they have yet to take the money from me? Perhaps it is dependent on the payment method.
