It was their console debut, so in their head they were thinking "consoles, consoles, consoles..." when they (whoever that was) said it would be for PS3 and 360 aka no Wii version.

Or they just canceled it for PC.

That would be the framerate of the camera recording. It's missing the frames on which the muzzle flash shows up.

Either way, it's still an alpha and would have been ironed out by the time of release.

I'm still buying it, but damn this sucks as I love tying all my most played games to Steam. It seems to have something to do with Valve's new ToS for distribution, something about not releasing the game on any other digital service (the same reason Crysis 2 was pulled off steam).

Probably going for a retail disc version for the first time in years. Last time I used an EA digital distribution service was a disaster, never again (I even re-bought on steam during a sale).

Steam has imposed a set of business terms for developers hoping to sell content on that service – many of which are not imposed by other online game services. Unfortunately, Crytek has an agreement with another download service which violates the new rules from Steam and resulted in its expulsion of Crysis 2 from Steam.

Crysis 2 continues to be available on several other download services including Origin.com.

Valve has yet to comment.

The new Alice game was an Origin exclusive for a while but it released on Steam a bit later. I can't imagine that EA will risk limiting their exposure by not selling the game on Steam for a title as big (especially for PC gamers) as Battlefield 3. What they probably will do is withhold the Back to Karkand pre-order bonus as an Origin exclusive.

May not be buying it then, I had some games on another game management system (Impulse) and they lost all my account data and refused to compensate me for the games I lost.

I don't care if it's Origin or Steam. I would like Steam because it's a convenience. I've never had issues with EADM either so I trust them in this. I seriously don't know why people get butthurt for no reason. They are instantly condemning the GAME because of EA's non-decision. We don't even know if the digital download for the game is Origin exclusive yet, which I imagine it isn't. If the Back to Karkand pack is Origin exclusive only, I'll have to buy it from EA, if not, Steam is the awesome choice. BTW, we know the game isn't Origin exclusive since the game is being sold on Direct2Drive.

Also, the Reddit kiddies can stop crying now:

We will unlock the contents of the Physical Warfare Pack for free to all Battlefield 3 players later this year.

The Physical Warfare Pack will be available as a pre-order bonus all over the globe. Right now, the UK is the only country where it has been announced, but stay tuned to get constant updates on where you can pick this up in your country. And remember, if you do not pre-order, you will still get access to this content at a later date, free of charge. If you do pre-order, you will get access to it from day one.

I thought even pre-ordering through somewhere like Gamestop would nail you the Back to Karkand expansion so I'm going retail/physical...as long as they don't try to shove in DRM bullshit.

For the main platform being PC though, don't think they're risk that.
