My emails with EA's PR team are interesting. Seems the Origin servers are being hammered with over 10 million users, most of which are trying to download the same game...

Finally was able to connect and start DL'ing. Now I won't have to wait when I'm off work, provided the servers aren't all full and getting slammed. SEE YOU ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

Installed as of 12:30PM EST. Downloaded at a solid 2.2MB/s :biggrin:

Didn't have a chance to play though since I had to head off to school. One thing I don't like so far is that you have to launch the game from your web browser, can't just open the game directly. Kind of strange...

I hated this in alpha but liking it in beta, I can have battelog up , find a game and ppl I want to play with, form a squad and still be surfing while I do.

God I hate the in game GFX setting, who the frak thought it would be a good idea to have you change your settings in game......I mean in the frakking server.

So I join, then spawn, hit esc, adjusting my video settings and blam killed....... respawn move to a bush, hit esc, in my video settings....bam killed.
Tell me this is a good idea.:doh:

Yea that's annoying. Hopefully they implement a graphic options menu in Battlelog for full release.

Is the flickering on the screen an ati problem? or a me problem? Other than some slight flickering in outside enviros, the game looks great.
