I cant get Battlefield 3 beta to finish downloading?

Hello, I have started my Battlefield 3 beta download with origin and it is saying it is 100% complete but it is still downloading. The Battlefield 3 beta download is 3.9gb and I have downloaded 5gb can someone please help me get it to work.|||that doesnt make sense...


use google for finding answers,


or just restart origin

Recieved my Battlefield 3 early access email but cannot find the beta in the playstation network store?

i recieved my early access email today (tuesday 27th) and i fallowed the instructions that say; go to psn store and click on "view all by title" and click on "B" and then click on battlefield 3 and all the content will be in there but all that is in there is game videos, NO BETA? what do i do? how do i get it?|||That's sucks, dice should know better and fix this problem fast, if the game is going to have this kind of problems I won't buy it.|||is it a playstation plus exclusive?|||I got the same e-mail as well. I read on an ea.com forum as well as others that Sony hasn't updated the PSN Store so we'll have to wait until then. UK Forums said that PSN Store usually updates around 3-5pm so that's a hell of a wait since early access was supposed to be out at 7am this morning.



New info not sure about the specifics or the source behind it but according to a Playstation Forum/Blog...Battlefield 3 Early Beta won't be updated on the Playstation Network until Midnight so...

We may have gotten sold queer giraffes my friend.



EDIT: as of 6:23PM (CST) Battlefield 3 Beta is up on PSN Store....(for me that is try it out though).|||Hey prince thanks man for the info

Is the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3 truly limited edition or is it just a marketing scheme?

When Crysis 2 was released, the so called "limited edition" wasn't as limited as it was made to seem. I've seen quite a few "Limited Editions" on store shelves months after it's release.





I'm wondering if this will be the case with Battlefield 3. If it is, there really isn't a point in pre-ordering if I could simply walk into a store and buy the limited edition on release date.





Simply put, is the Limited Edition really the standard edition for now?|||I'm not really accurate on this answer but i'll give it a shot.





If i'm correct this should be pretty much the same thing that Medal of Honor did as well as Crysis 2 like you said. I bought Medal of Honor 7 months after its release and it only came in the limited edition packaging for regular price still with the battlefield 3 beta invitation inside.





My best bet for you is to just get the game whenever you feel like it. Most companies include pre-ordering with bonus in-game content. Although most players would rather just have the game.





Well i hope this helps, and hope you enjoy battlefield 3!|||Well for games like Call of Duty, it usually is limited, its almost impossible to get your hands on any special edition after release. im going to assume that BF3 is for a limited time as well.|||I think Limited Edition is the standard edition, due to the reason that they have the beta version





I pre-order it so that i got some free shipping and also the free tools|||Probably just a marketing schem!

How do i get the battlefield 3 beta from my limited edition medal of honor disc?

i bought the limited edition medal of honor and i dont have any idea how to get the battlefield 3 beta... someone help plzz|||This is what the Battlefield 3 beta invitation says in fine print:





"*Beta offer is contingent on beta availability within 12 months of Medal of Honor Release. Beta Participation requires Xbox Live Gold Membership, EA Account, in-game registration of online pass code and acceptance of beta agreement. Beta will be available for a limited time only and offer expires upon close of beta events. Must be 18+. Visit www.ea.com/beta for details, including availability."





You must wait until the beta releases. Once it releases, you be notified via e-mail if you have an EA account. Then, you can check in the in-game store in Medal of Honor.|||It is not available yet, but they will tell you (probably by e-mail) when it will be available.

What is a cheap graphics card that will run Battlefield 3 smoothly?

I have a Radeon HD 4200 and I was looking to get a better graphics card that will run Battlefield 3 smoothly. I'd also like it to be a cheap price.|||BATTLEFIELD - 3 is the best looking FPS till date surpassing Crysis Series but when talking about performance its not that resource hungry, as per EA DICE any Graphics card above or similar to ATI RADEON 3870 will run it pretty smooth but there are more things than just the Graphics card that you have to keep in mind. Some of them are mentioned below:



1. DICE has used "HAVOK" as the physx engine similar to their past Battlefield games which is more CPU intensive than GPU. Hence in order to run BF3 smooth u need to have a good dual core (quad core most preferable) CPU. I would recommend to go for an AMD Phenom II X2 555 or 560 or 565 which can be further unlocked to quad cores on most am3 motherboards nowadays and price starting from about $80 or else u go for a phenom ii x4 for as cheap as $110.



2. The game performance also depends on the monitor resolution that u are using. If you play on resolutions like 1024x768 you would find it running pretty smooth on a system with lower specs, so in case if you r planning to run it on high resolutions like 1680x1050, 1920x1080 or above then u need to have a better GPU.



3. Battlefield 3 has four default settings for quality level from low, medium, high to ultra settings again their is a custom setting option available to set up your own. But obviously if you want to run it on Ultra high settings u need to have a CPU similar to phenom ii x6 or core i7 (even some high end core i5s) and a GPU equivalent or above GTX 560 ti or similar (these are tried and tested settings keeping in mind the average 30 fps requirement of bf3).



4. The most important thing as per me is your cooling part, You must go for a cabinet which has proper cooling (at least proper air flow) available or else your game experience will start suffering after 20 to 30 minutes of gameplay.



4. A budget combination of phenom ii x2 555 CPU with a Nvidia GTS 450 or similar can run BF3 pretty smooth on medium to high settings with resolutions of about 1920x1080 (forget the Graphic card reviews posted on several websites, the FPS they show is pretty much dependent on the CPU they use... especially when we talk of Battlefield Series.





*some more things that u should keep in mind are :

power supply (smps minn 460 watts), fan arrangement in your cabinet, ram min 2 gb (ddr3 recommended)





Hope u have a nice Battlefield Experience

How do you use the stinger in battlefield 3?

The lock-on only stinger in Battlefield 3 multiplayer is what i am referring to. Whenever I go to use it, my character simply nudges forward as if trying to shoot it but nothing happens.





This has resulted in me getting blasted by tanks numerous times and is getting pretty annoying.





Anybody know how it works?





Thanks!|||It only locks on to air vehicles.|||Glad you found your answer.. I just wanted to give you another tip =)





I've been using a strategy guide to help me at battlefield 3. It has really in-depth strategies for single and multi player, it's very VERY complete. They have HD video tutorials and stuff too, so you can see exactly what you should be doing. They got some pro to record the videos I think?





Anyways, just in case you're interested...|||It''s an anti-air weapon and it shoots down helicopters and jets. To use it, you have to zoom in, center the scope onto enemy's jet or helicopter. Once it's locked, you will see a 'lock' and hear a beeping sound. It doesn't fire until its locked on.





Enemy can evade the missile by deploying flares. It takes 2 missile to destroy any air vehicle.|||I'm pretty sure the Stinger might be an Anti-Air Rocket laucher. You've got to wait a couple seconds for it to lock onto the vehicle, then when it beeps, shoot it.|||It works only on aircraft.javelin works on tanks,etc.|||Its anti air craft. Just use a normal rocket launcher to take out tanks.

How to shoot down jets in battlefield 3?

Whenever i use my cannon in battlefield 3 thats on a jet i can never seem to hit anything even though i have the cross hair recticle right on target. Am i doing something wrong?|||You have to account for the travel time of the bullet or cannon shell.



So aim where the plane is going to be, not where it is. Put your reticle ahead of it.|||It takes a while for the bullet to travel, so shoot a little bit ahead of the jet. In other words, aim for where the jet is going to be rather than where it was. Battlefield has a lot of intricate strategy like this, unlike the Call of Duty games there's quite a bit to learn.|||You get some good aim in your game and shoot where they would be seen, bullets must travel a distance before hitting the target.|||you have to land on their run way i couldn't get them in the air so i tried it and it work it takes some time to get it right and u have to try after you land to hit a bush or a tree that will stop you and you move your way over to their planes slowly and shoot them when they get in it works trust me|||You have to anticipate where the Jet is going to be if you shoot to late you cannot aim straight at the target.

If you are asking that how will you get the early access to beta of bf 3 then you have to pre order the MOH limited edition and you will receive the beta in the EA email account through which you haave played the game online and beta is set for september 2011 or you have to pre order bf 3 and then only you can get the closed beta early access and if you do not want the closed beta which gives yoou 48 hours early access then you have to wait for bewta release as the open beta is for all the gamers and every gamer will receive the beta code in the email through which you have played the game online.

What is the cheapest a self-built desktop rig capable of running Battlefield 3 would cost?

Thinking of possibly buying parts for a desktop rig to run Battlefield 3 smoothly, or even just Bad Company 2 smoothly. Problem is, I'm really tight on funds, and hoping that a $500 - $600 budget would suffice. What is the average lowest price that a BF3-capable computer would cost? Thanks, general estimations are welcome :)





Note that I only need to purchase the tower unit; monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard and other peripherals aren't needed.|||%26gt;I would say $650 to $700 is cheapest.|||You'll really be cutting it for your budget. A 600 dollar computer will run BF3, but be outdated for the next game you play.





$1000 would be ideal, but I'd at least try to hold out for about $800 if you can. It'll make a world of difference, as most of that cost will go to your GPU.|||About BF3, I cannot say yet because it's not released yet.





BFBC2 however, is a different story. A $600 PC could actually max out BFBC2 (with 2x AA) on 1920x1080.

How does the squad system work in Battlefield 3?

I've been playing Battlefield 3 and I have NO idea how it works. I've been squad leader a couple of times and I just don't know what I'm supposed to do in that situation. Is there squads within a team or is the team a "squad"?

You also get double points for doing things that help them. For example: Normal Heals with MedKit is 10 points. If you heal a squad member it's 20 points and etc. When you're squad leader and you get "spotted" everyone in your squad gets spotted.

How much better is battlefield 3 than battlefield bad company 2?

I have bad company 2 and I kind of liked it but it didn't reach my expectations and I was wondering if battlefield 3 is better.|||There are some key points that they raised the bar with such as included a larger variety of vehicles like the fighter jets and water/land vehicles. So far I'm finding the map designs are very detailed and open, they also seem to be almost too big at times for how few transport vehicles are available (but that's just my personal thought) The weapons and gadgets are still set as unlockables so people that have played more generally have much better equipment and therefore an advantage. The only other thing I'm having trouble getting used to is that the game loads out of a browser rather then opening a game and going from there. I just find it can make it tedious to sit there waiting for a game to load over and over again depending on how many disconnections you get (getting better but at the start it was bad).

The closed beta started today and I couldn't access it because ORIGIN EA is **** and won't let me pre-order the game; but that's not the point. The point is that I know there is an open beta on the 11th of september, and I don't know how to get into it. Does anybody has any information on how to get access to the Battlefield 3 open beta on 11th of september?.





Thanks.|||Dice hasn't given an exact date for the open beta. All we know at this point is that the release of the beta is somewhere in September. People who bought MoH limited edition or pre-ordered Battlefield 3 get access to the beta 48 hours earlier than everybody else.





There are more and more rumours that the Beta would start the 27th for MoH/preorders and 29th for everyone, but this hasn't been confirmed by DICE.





When the Beta is out you will be able to just download it. (from their site for PC, from XBL marketplace or from PSN Store)|||Battlefield 3 leaps ahead of its time with the power of Frostbite 2, DICE鈥檚 new cutting-edge game engine. This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering superior visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and incredibly lifelike character animations.|||Battlefield 3's Open Beta is available to anyone. But first you must download it first in order for you to access the open beta I believe.|||Beta didnt come out yet buddy they didn't release any news|||There isn't a client. It will be open for download on Xbox Live sometime this Sept.

How to convince my parents to let me get battlefield 3?

Ok I'm 13 yrs old im using my dads account for yahoo answers. Again I'm 13 yes old and I want to know how to convince them to get me that game. I'm raising my grades up, I'm planning to get a ps3 with bf3 this Xmas and I want to convince them to get me battlefield 3. Any ideas?|||First of all, in my opinion, age doesn't matter to me. It's how mature you are. So if you do have good grades and you don't cuss on every sentence, that's a good reason. But it your grades are all F and you're a gangster, no chance.|||Do whatever they tell you to do. You need to keep it up for four weeks after you get the game to show that your being honest and not using them to get the game.|||Promise you'll do well in school kid and maybe they'll see that your mature and can play the game with balance to schoolwork and a social life|||Begthem.|||you do nothing|||Tell them "I'm 13 and this game is only for 17 year olds so I should get it."|||no we already have anuff 13 year old on the game now :(

Why is Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 the same game and why do they suck?

I didn't last 5 minutes on Battlefield 3. So it looks really really good (because that's all that matters right?!?!) and you have this revolutionary new setting which is fighting sand ******* in the middle east. But I just don't understand how it's any different from MW3.|||but its so awesum!!1 its totaly new seting for each and their both in the desert. mw3 is beter then bf3 becaus of its good multiplair!1!|||Battlefield 3's single-player campaign is pretty much a copycat of Modern Warfare.

The Battlefield series has never been known for its single-player game, if any. Nobody knows why they made it such a big deal.



edit: But yes, before I forget. *Facepalm* Maybe you'll like it better if you're fighting Jews, Antisemite?|||There not the same game but they are kind of similar, and they don't suck but they might to you, anyway what dumbass kind of question is this?|||If you want a more tatical and strategic game go with Battlefield 3.

How do i play battlefield 3 multiplayer on two diffrent consoles?

Ok, i bought battlefield 3 yesterday and I have two xboxs. I have an xbox in my room and one in my den and I want to play the one in the den because it's a bigger tv but I already activated the online pass on the one in my room. Is there a way I can play multiplayer in my den? If so, please tell me it would help a lot. thanks!|||Okay, you can only play on one console on multiplayer UNLESS you play on your account on another console. Stores however do sell online passes to people who are buying it second hand etc so you could buy one from there.|||simple all you have to do is take out your hardrive and put it in the other xbox :)|||hahaha. DICE wants your money. Either move your Xbox into the den, find an online pass, or buy another copy.|||lol just put the xbox with the activated online in the den.. online pass = 1 use only

How play battlefield 3 and more precisely how not to get killed?

I know it's a silly question, but recently killed me 10 times but I managed only one hit.


I managed to get some flags, and several assists.


Are there any tips for beginners?


And one more question how to fly airplanes, I learned that I'm rather bad pilot, though it turned out that I'm not a bad shooter, I managed to kill several enemies with the gun mounted in the helicopter.





P.S What is the best specialization in Battlefield 3?|||the key to bf3 is team work, get a good clan. im not telling you mine because it sounds like you suck, so join someone elses clan.








first, pick a class and stick with it.


each class plays distinctly differently, if your a medic, be a medic, drop med kits everywhere you go, unlock the paddles and never leave spawn without them. the weapons here are not great so its more about supporting your team mates rather then running out alone like in cod.





engineers need to play a bit more riskily, if its your job to take out the tank, get out there and take it out, take a look at your guns, shot guns, sub machine guns, shorter less accurate assult rifles, this is the more close quarters class, consider the flashlight or laser. use the holographic or red dot but NOT the scope. don't worry about scopeing in all the time, its fine to blast from the hip. but you also have the repair kit, if you in a helicopter, sit in the side seat and repair it as it gets shot. remember, with your repair kit its more about supporting your team mates rather then running out alone like in cod.





snipers are ranged specialists, don't forget to press "back" on your controller to spot tanks, jets, jeeps, helicopters and every enemy you see. a head shot will kill but there is no point in revealing your poession just to suppress one guy, get on the mic and tell your team mates where he is and where he is going, but its all about range, keep some space between you and your targets, your job is to spot and shoot from a distance so thats how you support your team mates rather then running out alone like in cod.





lastly is support, i hope you get the message, they have the most powerful guns so you might be tempted to run out alone, don't. you have the all important ammo box, medics, snipers and especially engineers will all run out of ammo as long as you can keep alive long enough to use it. you have a powerful gun but you are also slower, louder and easier to spot then the medic or recon, its all in the name your there to support your team mates rather then running out alone like in cod.





if you run out alone like in cod, you, and your team, will die and fail. use teamwork and commutation adn you will kill everyone.





its possible to level up to about level 7 in a week barely shooting anyone. just team work, team work, team work. if you can't join a clan and you don't have a mic and the team is not playing as a team there is still something you can do, try and join the player in 1st's squad, if he is 40 and 15, then he will need a revive, if he is 40 and 1 he will need ammo, if he is 40 and 1 and a support, he will need a spotter.





also there's coop, but above all, support your team and don't run off alone like in cod, you will just get shot.|||Half of everything here is wrong. You can tell he doesn't know much about BF3 because he calls the Recon kit "sniper", and says "pick a class and stick with it" when in fact everyone I know with a SPM (score per minute) over 500 (including myself) have at least 1 star in every kit.

|||One of the most important things to being a great Battlefield 3 player is the ability to harness your skills. The player with the most refined skills will have an advantage in almost any situation. Start by breaking down the core of the gamer by improving your reaction time, accuracy, awareness, and knowledge of the game.



Besides just improving your skill level, you will need to learn to counter your opponent based on their skill level. This will allow you to play with even the most savvy gamers by countering on their weaknesses.

Source(s): http://tiny.cc/c9ap2|||starting out on BF3 use the assault or engineer specialization. be the F**king new guy, sit in a corner close to the objectives, its really stupid but games like battlefield if you dont get the first hit on a guy and he gets it on you, your pretty much dead. stick with the assault or engineer if you keep changing you'll never level up and never get new weapons. good luck|||-Assist your friends (give ammo, health)


-Use sniper to attack from far


-I like the support class the most. The guns are powerful and have alot of money.

1.-MOST IMPORTANT: the bigger problem is that i didnt see anybody i mean they are there but i dont see them.. but here are too tips for this


a) BACK BUTTTON (360) in ps3 or pc i dont know but SPOT that helps alot


b)theres a nightvision, get it and you will see how everything gets easier





2.-HEAD DOWN, DONT RUN,: i think in large maps battelield its boring if you always twice before cross the street but thats what you have to do....





3.-TEAMWORK without clan or headset its hard but doesn matter that not full teamwork you can have teamwork if you have strategize if you are a sniper stay alife so you team respawn if your assault revive and heal you squad and dont rush, engineer? dont let vehicles had "hurt bad" you team and support well... support

How long is the battlefield 3 campaign on hard mode?

I would please like your average time on hard mode on battlefield 3 campaign please... I am a player that has gotten the MVP achievement on my third game on multiplayer so what would you think???

Does the battlefield 3 online pass work for multiple Xbox live accounts?

K so I'm planning on getting battlefield 3, but in order to go online you need an online pass to play online which comes with the game, the problem is me and my brother share the Xbox BUT HAVE 2 SEPARATE XBOX LIVE ACCOUNTS, and like to take turns playing online, so if I redeem the code for battlefield 3, will we both get to play online on battlefield 3?|||Sadly no. If you do, you have to pay an extra $10 I think.|||Yes that does work on an Xbox, however, you cant share with other consoles, this works on PS3s however, as I have done this many times with Saints Row DLCs and other purchases, which you can share with up to 2 other consoles|||not unless both of your accounts are linked to the same EA account... the code only works for one EA account, so yeah.|||no just 1|||I'd think yes , since it's the same console.

Battlefield 3????????????????/?

i have a few questions about battlefield in general?


10 points for whoever answers all





1: does it have killstreaks?


2 if so, then what kind of killstreaks


3: does it have perks?


4: what kind of perks?


5: is the sniping good?


6: are there noobs? (campers, overpowered gun user ect.)|||no


no


Not perks but certain attachable skills with vehicles, more ammo, explosives, etc.


Sniping is Best of any game. Realistic Bullet Trajectory( The further your target, the higher you must aim to compensate)


They're are noobs in every game. I am Guilty of being a BF fan boy, but will be the first to admit there are plenty of noobs. Lotta guys think they're the **** but actually suck. This is evident in their k/d ratio. You will usually get a couple campers but camping really doesn't give you any advantage as you will find out that staying in the same place will draw all sorts of unwanted attention( Tanks, Helicopter gunships, Jets, Other Snipers, etc.)


Just move fast, fire and maneuver, And communicate with your squad mates. Number one advice i can give you is don't run out on your own just spraying and praying, you will end up dead fast. As it is more realistic than COD,. They're are also people who take it too seriously, it is a game and if they believe they are hot **** just ignore them, plenty of tools on COD and BF, but a lot more in COD by a landslide, Have fun and shoot straight! ill see you over the battlefield in an f-18!|||Battlefield 3 Beta Access http://www.bf3blog.webs.com/

|||1. No

2. No

3. No

4. No

5. If you prefer actual sniping over "quick-scoping", yes.

6. Camping is not too uncommon, but is much more counter-able than in, say, Call of Duty. With the ability to completely level down buildings, the only people who some would accuse of "camping" would be the snipers, who really are just doing their job. Other than that, no overpowered guns, and the only noobs are the 12- and 13-year-old's calling other people noobs because they can't understand that the game puts a heavy emphasis on class-based gameplay and teamwork and that running in guns-blazing isn't a reliable tactic.
