Those with access, can you confirm if you can only use your Origin name or can you still create multiple soldiers ala BC2?

Only origin from what I can see. But there is a link in the main bf3 thread that lets you change your origin name.
I seem to have 3 or 4 names (soldier names) on Origin/EA, but only 1 master. Wonder if I can pick one of the sub ones.

Hopefully gamer tag will be Fubes, if not it's Foobes smile

Installing now, although it keeps saying it's downloading not installing from disk. According to the internet Im not alone in this. Faffed around long enough, I'm just going to let it do its thing.

Tried the Origin name changer but Fubes is not available so it looks like Im stuck with Foobes rolleyes

I think I did that Russ. Currently at 75% after about 15mins of 'd/l' so doubt it's running off my internet as it aint that fast lol

Hope I wont have trouble installing a second copy on my daytime (:cough: work :coughsmile PC tomorrow whistle


ETA: It's just asked for disk 2 so it is loading from the disk, despite saying downloading smile

Chucked out some more friend reqs via BattleLog/Pistonheads Clan. Make sure you are all on there (I note the PH clan has 46 members but only about 30 odd peeps on this PC Player list)

Oh, and has anyone found a map/list of where you can find certain vehicles on the maps? I've yet to find/have a go in a mobile AA, and they look like fun.

In Beta there was a couple on Caspian Border but I'm farked if I can find one.

You're a pretty good heli pilot! I quite enjoyed dicking around but I'm not sure I want to be friends with neema_t anymore ;P
I had a couple of trips with Dave too, got some nice kills. After he left and the server went quiet I practiced my heli skills which are coming along nicely, although I havent got the hang of when to release the flares quite yet (I think I'm releasing them too soon).

My jet practice, on the other hand, didn't go quite so well redface

Started playing on the PH server last night and was a good old laugh

Do we have a teamspeak or a mumble chat setup? I think this is needed now so we can all get together and beat the 42'ers (or whatever they were last night) who were trying very hard to spank us
At first I thought it was 1 guy hacking 'til I realised it was a clan hehe

Dont run mics etc (hard enough trying to concentrate as it is!) but will be found blabbing away on team/squad chat (quite often to myself biggrin)

Unlocked the Javelin today. It's OK if you have enough space to get 2 lock ons. For close vehicle stuff the rpg/SWAW/whatever is better IMO

I am REALLY starting to get annoyed with the game crashing every 2nd/3rd game ranting

Foobes you need to download PB from their website and add BF3 to its list of games. Sorry if you already did that!
I already had PB on from BC2, so just d/l the update as per ts' post.

Bizarrely I 'updated'/repaired the copy on my home pc last night via Origin and it wont reinstall with the update. Just had to uninstall and putting it back on now. Bang goes my evening gaming banghead

I also seem to have trouble with the parachute in that I'm hitting the correctkey but only occasionaly does it open. Had this in other BFs so guess it's my cack-hand playing up again
Its not that it doesn't open, it just doesn't open quickly enough. Cant tell you how many times Ive jumped off a small building, hit Space and then plummeted to the floor in a bloody, dead mess frown

Generally Russ and myself havent quite got into our strides yet, but I think you topped our team every game SB? Good effort.

Dont know why but I am really struggling on the infantry maps. Vehicle maps I normally get in the top 3.

But yes, when that clan got up and running we took a severe anal rogering yikes

(FYI my spell checker wants to change 'rogering' for 'fingering' rofl )
