battlefield 3

You know, when you try to launch it from origin at the moment, it keeps saying it needs to check for release date activation. I'm wondering, if anyone has access to a US VPN if they can try it and see if it gives you the date of the 25th not 28th?

Brilliant, it works

Just tried it and when it comes to activation it now tells me I can run it on the 25th October at 08:00

why do that mate, play it legit

Goto control panel>small icons>internet options>connections>lan settings> use a proxy server for ur lan> 210.107.100.251 port 8080> press ok

Launch game, let it do its check but stop before Origin logs in, change it back to normal connection and launch the game Sorted.

It's live in Korea Use flyvpn from the link i posted above, just activated mine now

[_Belial]

Yep defo works, just been playing. You only have to activate using that VPN, once activated, quit and play as normal, plenty of UK players on there already judging by the pings

Worked for me too. Had a quick game of Rush on the Operation Firestorm map and died lots. Graphics looked amazing and it ran as smooth as silk! Good to see the commo rose in the game as well!

Played a bit of campaign, looks bloody marvellous! New nvidia driver has been released to increase performance btw http://www.vg247.com/2011/10/24/new-...3-performance/

I've just been playing campaign, didn't want to risk multi player, will keep doing so for the next night or two so far so good

[Hodge20001]

Yep i can confirm the VPN trick works as already stated you just need to activate it through the VPN then you can access battlelog from anywhere and play etc

[Red Phoenix]

Think the world has realised this trick seen a flurry of youtube channels uploading stuff already

Awesome going to give this a try today. Knowing me I'll do it wrong and get banned haha.

[_Belial]

I can't see them banning anyone for playing early tbh, i've been playing it like mad, it's superb, loving the night map.

[Red Phoenix]

Yeah, I think _Belial is right. They wouldn't ban you, I played the singleplayer yesterday. Plan on completing that first then jump online

[lou3b]

Yea just activated it going to play campaign for a little while, Thanks!
