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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

What are you using to launch battlelog?

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.

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

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?

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.
