My beta thoughts so far

Post by Mobster » Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:49 pm

The beta is awesome so far!

Besides expected bugs the beta is really great.
The game play is definitely like BF2, but also has some things from BC2.
I want to say its the perfect combination.
Battlelog is going to be a great tool!

I am looking forward to beta patches, and the release of Battlefield 3!

Definitely give the beta a try when you can!

I'm holding off until they release the BF3 geared drivers for my crappy card :D

Ok so I found where it was buried (censored hate it when I can't choose where to install shit) and tried to launch the game.

Opens some stupid ass website (really? are we playing BF3 through the browser?) and tells me;

Code: Select all

Flash plugin is blocked or disabled
Battlelog Beta requires Flash. Please enable or unblock it.
WTF? I can't find anything that would be blocking flash, I put the gay ass website on all of my whitelists, and still get that stupid ass error.

censored why does EA have to be so stupid?

Oh using FF 6, can't use IE all I get is blank page O.o

I remember when Battlelog first opened I had to download a plugin from them.

Near the top of the screen do you see a bar pop up saying anything about plugins?

I kinda like the (Battlelog) website. lol

Yep downloaded the plug in ... again have no idea where they put it. FF shows it being installed though (ESN launch and ESN Sonar) so whatever.
