Christ, over half a month later you quote his post?

man I've never been so anxious and jumpy about the release of a sequel since Halo 2 for Xbox.

Question: For beta access, do those who preordered straight off Origin get in earlier than those who bought MoH or preordered through other sources (like me)? Or does everyone get in at the same time?

Also, since I actually got BOTH MoH and the preorder, I wonder if I get a 2nd beta access privilege to share with a friend? That would certainly be great, as he wants to try it on his laptop for real before deciding which version to buy (of course he wants the PC version but if it lags to hell on his Geforce GT335m/i5 combo then he has no choice).

Well everyone here has a life...except ThePlague and Freelancer, but come on man, 20 days is enough time to check the forums twice a week at the least.

Eat it up bitches:

Keyboard/mouse or what?

Also, 5 flags :o

Yeah. I guess they don't trust people with expensive flight sticks.

oh god, so does this mean planes in MP will slaughter foot infantry like helicopters in bc2?

I want moar 12 flag action. That shit was intense. Also, I was under the impression he was using a controller. It didn't look jerky enough to be mouse/keyboard.

Planes look like they fly a bit too fast to hit infantry. Maybe dropping a bomb or shooting a few missiles at a clump of them might work, though.

So -- Battlefield 3 is US v. PLF (new MEC) and US v. RU.

Know what would be awesome? If Battlefield 3 actually was based on Bad Company's universe -- albeit the *real* Army dealing with Russia's invasion from Alaska, just hinting that it's the same universe.

I think the MEC equivalent is called the PLR (Peoples' Liberation Resistance). Like a more organized insurgency, but based on current Iraq events. BF3 is definitely not in the BC universe as the true BF games are based on realism (except BF2142). BC2's multiplayer was definitely realism based, but the SP had supernatural elements in it. BC2's entire campaign was about securing that megaweapon that destroys everything in like a 25km radius. BF3 ain't gonna have shit like that. I do suspect the Russians will be in the SP, though. I wonder if the PLR will make an appearance in the multiplayer. Their uniforms in SP look very similar to the MP Russian uniforms.
