From personal experience.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD the game from AMAZON. go to [...] download ORIGIN. install ORIGIN. then copy the product key from AMAZON and paste it into the redeem code section in ORIGIN.

this way you can tell where to download and install the file via the settings button in ORIGIN, with AMAZON it just tries to download to your C: drive and if you're out of storage you are pretty much SOL. So do yourself a favor and download like I described above and save yourself some time.

What happened with me was I downloaded from amazon, then it installed origin and asked me to redownload battlefield 3.... total waste of time and bandwidth.

have fun gents and a smattering of the ladies.

I never played any battlefield game but I heard about its concept and gameplay. My reason that got me hyped was the Graphics and Audio tech being used in BF3, the Frostbite 2.0 Engine. I was absolutely stunned with the graphics quality and sound of guns and explosion probably most realistic sounds ever heard in video game. First thing, do not compare to Call of Duty because I find COD significantly easier to play in terms on learning curve, of course takes quite of skill to become proficient player. BF3 is team game, only way to rock out your game is every team action counts. Battlfield 3 is best enjoyed when played with friends, absolutely fun and to do teamwork and get rewarded as same time.

Gameplay & Multiplayer-
Two things - Responsive and Realistic. So DICE upgraded the animation engine which results in more fluid control of character. It is like what you expect is what you get, realistic game style though, not super arcade style. The guns have proper amount of recoil, gravity affects trajectory of bullets, they curve downwards at longer distances. Simply put that this isn't casual game, it is quite hardcore if wish succeed with skill. Battlfield 3 focus more on multiplayer so gameplay is quite different from singleplayer (which is more like tech demo with cheesy story). Multiplayer, you drive vehicles, explore and sneak around, work as small effective squad to take on opponent team. As I said before, work as team (even four man squad can wreak havoc) and win games otherwise it looks like chaos in battlefield. Vehicle are such as jets and helicopters are little difficult to control, may require quite bit of practice and luck to get them first(unless you are playing smaller multiplayer games, 32vs32 is tough to get them.

Great price through amazon, but a complete waste of time downloading / "Preloading" from Amazon. Still had to install Origins and the RE-DOWNLOAD the whole 11 gigs to play the game. Amazon screwed up here, either that or Origins is just crap.

Mr Pinks "fix" didn't do anything for me, origins just stays on "Preparing" for the game and never changes.

Got a great a deal from amazon, but the experience was horrible because of the double huge download and having to wait to play my game after I thought I was pre-loaded and ready to go.

About the game: its Battlefield, the game is pure awesomeness. Any way you can get it is worth it. Just warning about the experience from getting a digital download from Amazon.

I have been a long time fan of the Battlefield series. I loved Battlefield 42 and Vietnam. I had a blast with Battlefield Bad Company 2. I preordered this game, hoping it would be fantastic. I wanted to show my support for the series. I feel like I've been spit upon by EA or the developers.

I'll start with the good things. It looks great. Some boards are a bit too blue, and others, it should be as blue as it is. The tanks roll smoothly, and the boost to speed is nice. I like the different options you have for the tanks, and other vehicles, as BF was always big on vehicles. There are many guns (too many for me), and the four classes all have their benefits and roles in the game. I like the squads on multiplayer, but most people who are in a squad don't seem to understand teamwork (More of a gripe about other players than the game). I loved the co-op play, but sadly, it only has six missions. I have experienced a few bugs in the co-op mode, like being unable to get into a vehicle, or to open a door I'm supposed to open. The co-op always felt more like what I thought BF should be, rather than my online multiplayer experience. The single player campaign is pretty good, and you get to experience things through more than one person's eyes.

The negative. I feel that the people who preordered Battlefield 3 have been spit upon by the company. We all paid around $45-$60 to get our copies. You got one expansion pack (Back to Karkand) for free. Now they've come out with Battlefield 3 Premium, for $50ish, and it includes all the expansion packs. So, now if I want to play Armored Kill, Close Quarters, or any of the other expansion packs, I have to pay additional money. At $15 each, if I were to buy each expansion pack, I'd have well over $100 in the game.

Played them all and I was ready for BF3. My PC: 2500k, Asus P8Z68-V Pro, 8GB Ripjaws, 1GB 5850. Blows the consoles away. I did not have any problem with install. I played Singleplayer and multiplayer four hours each on day one. Browser navigation interface takes a minute to get used to but works fine for me. I have not used the squad join or friends invite/join. I was shocked my xbox controller worked. You have to map some buttons to make it more familiar. Button presses during campaign still seem to need mouse and keyboard interaction. Other than that X360 control works perfect. Awesome game. Must have for any Battlefield fan.
