BF3 Alpha

I played a couple hours in the BF3 Alpha this evening. The whole loading thing is a goddamn headache. You have to have Origin, then you download it like normal, but when you launch it opens your web browser and it serves off that. Meaning...that launches your .exe. Kind of pain...but I get it...an extra layer of authenticity.

Gameplay fucking rules and is so smooth. The hud will take a little getting used to. There are some issues w/ nVidia stuff...but I found out just waiting past error messages gets you through.



I DID get stuck on a blade of grass though...and fucking died.
Also...the defibs are confusing me at the moment.
