official Battlefield 3

[Digitalx]

I bought MOH:LE and BF3 and i still dont have my key, EA/DICE can **** off.

Settle buddy, they don't want to smoke the email servers they're progressively being sent out as we speak... DICE don't have a botnet to send 1.5 million emails in a matter of minutes/

I would not be surprised if this is all based on American times since that is where EA's main headquarters are located, and here it is only 8:30 AM on the East Coast. If EA is on the West Coast, it is still 5:30 AM at their offices. So I would keep that in mind. They never gave an exact time, and more than likely than are going by UA time, even if DICE themselves are not in the US.

But plenty of others are already getting keys.

They started sending them out nearly 2 hours ago now they said they would be out between 1 and 3pm, its nearly 3pm.

It's tomorrow isn't it?

[TheLegendOfMart]

No its today the 27th.

[ViperAFK]

LOL I have medal of honor standard and I just got the key from steam. Activated fine, dling now.

[TheLegendOfMart]

Im > < this close to cancelling my fully paid BF3 pre order if they cant even give me what i promised, i bought MOH:LE for beta and BF3 and i STILL dont have my key.

[Crisp]

There's a flaw in the website to redeem the keys for the beta, and because of this the website is now being spammed by the world to try and cheat themself into the beta.

Apparently, when it ask's for a key, change the /key/ in the url to legal and you don't even need a key, and thanks to idiots spamming this around the web, the bf3 beta site is now ruined.

[TheLegendOfMart]

Its too late its been passworded.

[Lexcyn]

OK so why are people who haven't even pre-ordered getting keys before people who PAID for this "early access"?

Good job EA, way to dig yourself a deeper hole. Not only do people not like Origin, but now you pull this crap?

[Digitalx]

see you folk on the other side maybe and (also it's about 3GB on pc) :punk:

[M4nB3arP1g]

Ya I haven't received mine yet either. :cry:

[Crisp]

Looks like EA fails again...

Wow! We're adding capacity to the BF3 Open Beta code redemption portal as I type this. Service should be fully restored shortly. #BF3

Couldnt this overload fiasco have been avoided if they paid attention to the pre-order numbers? knowing a good percentage of those people would be wanting it immediately..

[TheLegendOfMart]

It could have been avoided by releasing the keys the day before rather than an hour before the beta went live.

[Crisp]

I've also just read on the EAUK forums that the PC version only has 100 beta servers live aswell, so how is 1.5million Origin pre-orders gonna work on 100 servers?

[Alladaskill17]

Is there any way to pre-load the beta for Xbox 360 for play on the 29th?

[ViperAFK]

Man I am glad steam ended up giving me a key. Still never got my origin key.

[Lucas]

We at the BFO team managed to get our hands on a lot of Caspian Border game play yesterday due to some early keys provided to us. It's great, the game is excellent and the performance much better than expected. Relax guys that the game is going to be worth it! :)

[ViperAFK]

I did notice the beta performs MUCH better. I am playing all high settings (except deferred aa off) on my 6850. Very smooth. Unfortunately the server I was in crashed and every good server is full with huge queues :(

[Fusion101]

Going to have to wait for the 29th before i can play the pc version of the beta. I can play the 360 version now thought as I bought the 360 version of MoH.

[Got3n]

dangit, i took the day off of work to play and I got no key!!!! /karma!

How do you play it?.. I have Medal of Honor too. Do you play it through MOH or what?
