It's a good game. I'll still play BF2 though, can't beat that imo.

Ye BF2 is a great game but the loading times make me go crazy, really shows how old it is

Got a new sight for mah assult gun, first pic is shows the forest, second one shows the forest scoped So simple to find enemies now haha

What map is that? oO

Caspian Border

Got myself the digital copy so it should be done by now. From what ive seen, game looks immense. Lets hope im not disappointed

The game is just incredible.

To repeat my question from the BF3 Bugs Thread:
Is BF3 worth its money?
Can I restrict the Origin.exe and still play online?

Its worth all the money, I would pay 100 euros for it. About the bugs, dont worry there are many updates coming.

I think you can stop Origin from scanning your files by running it in a program called Sandboxie, not sure though.

Make a 2nd windows account and restrict folders for that account. Everything that origin shouldn't have access to basicly.

You don't have to have Origin to be running all time. Start the game though
Battlenet, with a browser. Though it will start Origin too, but you can close
it instantly again. BF3 will run fine.

Savy, pipa and I had a nice match! Loads of points.

Yes, you can block the outgoing connections via the Host file.

You will have to open the file in notepad.

The first lines will stop your connection to Origin.So you can start Fifa without connecting to Origin.
The second lines will stop Fifa from communicating to EA servers.
You can use one or both. Depends upon you

I'm not sure if you can still play online after you've blocked it via the Hosts file though.

Yes and gladly the teamwork got my skill rating positive again .

Obviously you can, but then you won't be able to play online anymore. It is really that annoying i'm afraid.

here is a nice german article including a Windows Firewall setup and a sandboxie tutorial:

BB, If your soooo woried about it looking at some of your files why get it? Its not a dangerous program, im pretty sure DICE dont want to hack you for all your gay porn

Theres nothing to fear DICE wont look through your PC, Origin actually told me my PC is running too slow to play BF3, so i closed some tasks and its like yea, you can play now

If anything happens with your stuff you can sue them anyway lol.
