12 hours later, I'm still downloading bf3 while I play plants vrs zombies
User avatar #2 to #1 - pikminpoo [OP](05/30/2014) [-]
Yeah I know origin servers can't handle all these people suddenly downloading things.
User avatar #3 to #2 - sewallman (05/30/2014) [-]
Well that, and at most I have 3 bars of internet service at any given time.
User avatar #4 to #1 - ntobarrev (05/30/2014) [-]
Woah, really? I downloaded it yesterday, in 3,5 hours.
User avatar #5 to #4 - ntobarrev (05/30/2014) [-]
No, that was meant to be 4.5 hours.
User avatar #8 to #5 - sewallman (05/30/2014) [-]
It's still downloading. My internet constantly disconnects and reconnects as well. It's spent more time being paused than it has been downloading. I have another 3 hours left.
User avatar #9 to #1 - iphraem (05/30/2014) [-]
same here, download servers go offline all the time.
User avatar #10 to #9 - sewallman (05/30/2014) [-]
I've been keeping an eye on it, I just thought it was my botched connection, but if others are having problems as well.. I don't feel too bad.
User avatar #11 to #10 - iphraem (05/30/2014) [-]
yeah, feels good not to be the only one who has to wait 3 days to play this.
User avatar #14 to #11 - iphraem (05/30/2014) [-]
I got other stuff to do than just checking if the download paused again.
User avatar #12 to #11 - sewallman (05/30/2014) [-]
I'm at 76% right now, and it still says 3 1/2 hours (that's what it said 2 hours ago.)
User avatar #13 to #12 - iphraem (05/30/2014) [-]
I'm at 40% now, but I think I ll just download it in a week or so, the servers will be fine by then I guess.
User avatar #21 to #1 - silentwarrior (05/30/2014) [-]
It was kind of a hassle to play it when new (server on website and stuff) but the dowload itself took like 2 hours, which is pretty good considering its 22 gb. EA seems to get a lot of hate, but its not as bad as people make it out to be.

You know what's funny? This is gonna be the second time I got Battlefield 3 for free.

The first time was when some idiot dropped his Battlefield 3 XBox disk in the hallway of my high school and a teacher picked it up. She said she waited three weeks for the person to come get it but no one came to claim it, and that's when I jokingly asked if I could take it home. She said it was fine, and that's how I got it for free.

**karvarausku rolled image** you know when I first time downloaded it and played it last year with my brother?

I got all the way to 99%. then it jumped to 70% back to 85%, ERROR! had to uninstall and start again. It kept doing this for 2 weeks literally until I had finally installed it.

and by the time I had installed it my friends had already gotten bored of it...

#45 to #38 - thememegod (05/31/2014) [-]

User avatar #46 to #45 - thamuz (05/31/2014) [-]

User avatar #36 - capinsquiggles (05/31/2014) [-]
I never would give my money to EA, and I avoided Origin, but after fighting for 30min to login trying to use two different browsers, trying to figure out how the **** to install origin and have it work, and then getting the game on my account and downloading the 20GB overnight, and then dealing with server issues trying to login 9 times in a row, I discovered that BF3 is pretty damn fun. But my experience getting to that point was garbage, which is why I still wont give money to EA.
User avatar #34 - cossackwhoop (05/31/2014) [-]
People still play BF3? I thought it became a ghost town.
User avatar #42 to #34 - pikminpoo [OP](05/31/2014) [-]
With the fail of battlefield 4 more people are playing 3 for more a reliable network code and less bugs.(Myself included)
User avatar #44 to #42 - cossackwhoop (05/31/2014) [-]
What went wrong with 4 and is 3 just on one console server or all?
User avatar #48 to #44 - pikminpoo [OP](05/31/2014) [-]
Well first of all the Pc versions launch was absolutely atrocious with frequent bugs and Instant crashing. Many people believe this is because EA rushed the game to make sure it comes out before Cod ghost. Then after the launch many updates and patches were required to fix it to a least a playable level and keep everyone happy. People who contacted the EA support centre for this got no help because EA are know for their terrible customer support. Also the game is barely optimised and Most peoples PC could not run it.

I can't even play BF3 or BF4. Battlelog simply does not work. It immediately freezes as soon as I launch it. I can click the buttons but they're unresponsive, if I try to switch pages it will just load forever.

Sure am glad I dropped all that money on games I can't even ******* play.
User avatar #39 to #32 - thamuz (05/31/2014) [-]
What are you using to launch battlelog?
User avatar #40 to #39 - gammajk (05/31/2014) [-]
Origin, but it's the same thing if I go to the page and manually log in. Strangely, the log-in page works, but as soon as I log in it freezes again.
Happens on IE, Chrome and Firefox.
User avatar #43 to #40 - thamuz (05/31/2014) [-]
Delete anythign related to the Battlelog on your computer,reboot and then reinstall the plugins it should work then. I had that problem too when I first got BF3 from the Humble Bundle
#28 - abdullahmag ONLINE (05/30/2014) [-]
aww yeah free stuff.
thanks funny junk once again.
User avatar #25 - anusholeboner (05/30/2014) [-]
Well seeing as I already had it, it's pretty much a huge **** you from Origin for people who bought the game
#30 to #25 - anon (05/31/2014) [-]
Or instead of seeing it as a negative for you, you can see it as a positive for people to try the game.

You felt it was worth the money at the time so that's your choice.

You're telling me it wouldnt be awesome if some random games you wanted to try but decided not to try suddenly were free?
User avatar #31 to #30 - anusholeboner (05/31/2014) [-]
I know, I definitely saw the positive side, so did everyone else, I just wanted to point out the bad side for people who actually OWNED the game. I welcome this opportunity for new players to try the game, or if they already wanted it, whopee, you got it.

Took me f*cking 4 hours to download with minimum 50 errors
#23 to #19 - thefrazdude (05/30/2014) [-]
I'm still at 65%

User avatar #27 to #24 - benrocks (05/30/2014) [-]
Though to all of the above. It was worth it in the end. It's a really good game
