I’d be kind of mad. I bought the retail version which I’m sure wouldn’t give me a code for Steam even if it does get on there.
I guess I’ll hold my preorder till news breaks.
I’ll give it 3 days till release.
I’ll do the same.
Already pre-ordered in gamestop. Hope i can use that on steam somehow.
I’m sure you could email Steam Support and they’d activate it for you. They’re really cool like that.
Is that real news? I am pissed if it is.
They better let me activate it on steam if it’s true.
Something tells me It’s not gonna happen, whether its fake, or more likely before release EA will find a reason to pull it again like, “It doesn’t allow us to fully integrate Origin into BF3 like we had hoped”
You know that’s a good idea. I’ve heard lots of stories about how far Steam goes to please its customers. Hope if this does happen I can do that.
Here’s some Caspian Border footage on gamespot from a really shitty player:

If it ends up on Steam, I’ll do that. I may stop being lazy and see if I can get them to activate my copy of Sim City 4 at the same time 
(an EA rep told me like, a year and a half ago to contact Steam and see if they would do it)
Got my GTX 560 in the mail and I can run BF3 maxed out at 60 fps. Holy shit.
DAMN YOU ALL, I HAD THAT CARD UNTIL I LOST MY COMPUTER
How the hell do you lose a computer?
First time in this thread, scanned it, Bloodshot seems mad at, well, everything.
The stuff that comes with DX11, like tessellation, hasn’t been implemented yet and neither has Ultra. Lets see when the game actually comes out because I doubt it .
Yeah, I learned that shortly after I posted. According to what I’ve reading, people at DICE are saying you need two GTX 580s in SLI to max out the game at 60 fps. I kind of call bullshit on that.
I didn’t “loose” it per se, I moved out of my house on bad terms with my dad, and he won’t let me have it even though I payed for it.
A gaming PC is a lot of money. If it’s yours and he’s withholding it and you’re over 18, fucking call the cops on him.
Sounds like Bullshit to me considering i can play the game on High with 40FPS with a GTX285. my brother has two HD5870s and can play on Ultra with around 45-55 fps.
EDIT: both displays 1920 x 1200
Oh, that’s why I can run it max with 40 frames steady. Its cool that its gonna look better but I won’t be able to use it
