Battlefield 3 is EA's fastest selling videogame. Ever Battlefield 3 has become the fastest-selling videogame in EA's history, with ten million units leaving the publisher's distribution centres since last week's release. Half of those were picked up by gamers in the space of a few days. EA confessed the high sales caught it off-guard and with so many gamers trying to access its …
"EA confessed the high sales caught it off-guard and with so many gamers trying to access its servers"
Is this EA's slogan? Heard the same line for 1943, BC1 and BC2 as well. Given the clamour they've made about BF3 you'd have thought they might have erred on the side of caution this time.
The game's still awesome though.
EA/DICE are money grabbing ***ts and something should be done, If 10million people bought this game, that's a hell of a lot of people p****d off with the fact, these companies just want our money and DO not give a **** about the consumer but to take our money off us.
This game is poor and the graphics look dated, EA YOU SUCK
I seem to have to repeat this Ad nauseam. With steam the hardware and software collection being passed to valve is optional, as you decide if you want to take part in their hardware and software surveys.
With EA, their software has a look round and sends the details to EA without you getting a say. Big difference. If Origin allowed you to opt out as Steam does, I would no longer have a problem and would be on BF3 as we speak.
Why would anyone expect BF to have a decent single-player campaign ? The series' history is multiplayer. Adding a single-player campaign just to compete with MW which has already lowered the bar for single-player shooters is not a recipe for a nice experience. Buy it for MP and treat the SP as bonus ho-hum content.
(I must add also that I have always hated BF in all forms so I'm not a blind fanboy defending the franchise :))

EA | Origin customer service and support is non-existent. I pre-ordered BF3 two months in advance only to have it canceled out for some unknown reason by Origin. Just try to find a phone number on EA's site without creating an account .... does not exist. Yellow Pages gave me a number and EA's operator put me into the queue that claimed to have a 20 minute hold. I gave up after 1:10 minutes. Looking for a customer service email was another thing that required the creation of an account. I sent them a message that was not flattering and received an auto-reply claiming a 24 hour response time. Days later, I'm still waiting for anyone in EA land who gives a damn to respond.
The game graphics are improved. It is not very compelling though. Same old stuff warmed up again.
