Quote from sarge matAnyone know if the PC European copy's work as soon as you get them or do they have some shit unlock thing?
Because of stupid shit and business, EU unlocks on 27th ... which is in 24 hours. But lets hope it unlocks as soon as you get it.

@iam_curtis Yes, stats will be reset. ^GM
For those that have played the game earlier than others.
Launch trailer up, showing singleplayer footage:
That destruction...

Oh wow...
Player feedback on Battlefield 3 (who played it at the Nvidia Geforce LAN 6 recently): http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3/co ... aytime_on/
3D spotting was quite a bit more refined in this build than it was in the Beta. If you spotted someone and then they got behind cover(buildings or vegitation/rocks), their on-screen 3D spot dissappears immediately. No more firing at doritos in the foliage.
Javelin: Worked like a ground version of the stinger missile, it didn't pack much of a punch against heavy armor. Only played with it a few times. Locks on, fire and forget.

GameSpy: We've heard there's going to be a command rose at launch for PC. Is that still going to be ready for launch? What sort of functionality might it include?Lars: It is on our list for trying to get in there at launch.
GameSpy: Are you toning the flashlights down a bit?Lars: Yeah, they should be much better at release.
And the UMP will not be a beast at release like it was in the beta:

The near final build is looking really good.
Quote from DarkEverything is better other than level design, as I have no idea what all the maps will be like. The Vehicles are better, the gameplay and gunplay is better, even better than COD, therefore its far better than BF2. Destruction on top of all. However, I do want all BF2 maps back.
The "Back to Karkand" pack might please you for the time being.
Just have to keep in mind that terrain deformation is disabled in the beta because Operation Glitcho , so in release you'll make potholes everywhere. And take down the antenna tower in Caspian Border 
YOU HAVE DIED
One day I'll buy a console...

HOW WILL SQUADS WORK IN THE RETAIL VERSION OF BATTLEFIELD 3 ON PC/XBOX 360/PLAYSTATION 3?Since the Open BETA we’ve added more advanced functionality to manage your squad. You will be able to browse and join specific squads through the squad screen. You can see all players that are in a specific squad as well as who’s playing as lone wolf. As a squad leader you can set your squad to private as well as kick players from the squad.
On console you will also be able to choose if you want the active VoIP channel to be team or squad and invite friends to your squad. You will also be able to mute any player on your team through the scoreboard.
THAAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU

Cheap as piss, and equally comfortable to sit on, but had to get something
until I can afford a "proper" chair because my previous chair broke.
Something that is ridiculous is that you can destroy knee-high walls by deploying your health/ammo pack into it 
Quote from D3adsHow big is it? 30GB?
21.5Gb
Quote from D3adsIs the Metro located in France? Subway maps ftw
Check the skybox and you notice it's in Paris. And the EOD bot as Engineer is fun as hell. Just hope the god damn awful steering have been fixed/tweaked in the release build.
You know, I wish there was a bit of spawn protection, as it's getting pretty god damn frustrating when the enemy can camp your spawn with no problems and shoot your ass up before you notice the 2-3 pixels hiding in a bush shoot at you.
Had a couple of rounds on Operation Metro. God damn, the sound team at DICE does not disappoint, making my woofer work hard. It's clear from the start that it's going to take considerable amount of time to unlock new weapons, gadgets, etc. Engineer being my favorite class, the first unlock is an anti-air rocketlauncher, which can't be fired without a lock (booooo!). So one has to find a Caspian Border server. Still some all-kits weapons are unlocked as you rank up; got the 870 shotgun and Glock (with laserpointer!) so far. Also rockets have considerable drop down range, but that doesn't stop me from blowing up the subway getting multikills, harr harr. Got to get used to the thought that you CAN prone now, compared to Bad Company.
Oh and the game looks great! But this being a beta, it has the bug of you often glitching through the ground in the outdoor areas, and there is also fullscreen flicker sometimes, dunno if happens for anyone else.
Hint: Melee key is F by default. Hold F to deploy knife.
It's up now on Origin, but don't be surprised that you won't be able to download it until next millenia. Direct link (hammer F5) : http://store.origin.com/promo?promoID=8 ... nkid=free#
