I'm a little confused by this statement. So origins doesn't work like steam, where your username is what appears in-game? So I'll have an origins handle as well my handle in BF3?

Apparently so. Your BF3 ID appears to be a separate entity from your OJ name.

This is a bunch of bullshit. They probably just re-released to Alpha. I am highly disappointed. But, I am not surprised. No jets, tanks, or anything special.

What the fuck are you talking about? Conquest is still the defining mode with 64 people. You can't get 64 people on Rush, ergo, conquest is still the name of the game. Expect TPG to launch with a conquest server.

Make sure you put OP Metro at the END of the rotation lol. Altough it might work nicely with 64p.

See you all next week on BF3

Obviously.

I was only commenting on the way DICE is selling the game. You can't deny that, even tho the ''real'' purpose of a beta is to find and fix most remaining bugs before release, it's still a big marketing move. Most people who have never played or heard of Battlefield before will get to play for the first time on a narrowish, cramped map that is mostly about close-quarter combat, ''run and gun''. If DICE wanted us to find as many bugs as possible, they'll have gave us something that offers a bit more (at the very least they wouldn't give us a map that offers one single vehicle). To me, it just seems that they want people to see the game in a very specific way (like a cramped, action filled close-quarter combat game). I know you guys will most likely host conquest only, all I was saying is that DICE seems to have a mindset far different than 5 years ago.

* If the defenders start disarming an M-COM just before it’s about to blow, the explosion is prevented until the disarm is accomplished. If the defender gets killed during the disarm process, the M-COM will instantly blow

Thats sorta gay....

Glitched disarm? Pick-up kit instead of disarm?
