If you order from Newegg, you can get the preorder for $47.98 with promo-code EMCYTZT796.

If you haven't already checked out how your system will play the game, the beta is currently up for public consumption. linky

Just be warned the game browser and changing settings royally sucks. It is literally the worst experience I've ever had in picking a server on the PC. Ever. Plus you'll need Origin and PunkBuster too.

Screw both of those, hard.

However, I'm on the Xbox so I'm not experiencing that (along with no 64 people maps :(), and the game isn't what I thought it would be. Oh well. Skyrim :)

I'd still like EA to put it over on Steam, rather than making PC gamers use their completely unknown platform. Plus, I'd like to have just the one platform, rather than having multiple extra systems running to play various games. That, and the random Steam Sales that could knock the $60 price tag down to $25-30 by the July sale next year.

EA wont like you very much. You just lost them a sale. **** punkbuster. I hate that crap. Not installing bloody origin either. I use steam. That's it.

I'll get it on the 360 if i get it at all. No god awful browser, no god awful punkbuster and no god awful origins. To play this game on the PC i need to install 3 crappy things just to play. No thanks.

So apparently if you go on one of the leaked servers and play a different map, you're running the potential to get banned from ALL of Origin. Lose all access to games, just for the one multiplayer game.

It's looking like less and less of a game to go for every day..

I canceled my preorder.

I love the Battlefield series and it's a lot of fun, but seriously EA? What the **** are you trying to pull? Enough of your *******. I'll go check out RO2 or save my money and see what's up for games in 2012.

If they get it on Steam, I'll probably end up getting around next Summer sale for ~$10-15. If it'll be Origin only.. Kinda doubt I'll be bothering.
