This morning we woke up to a shiny new metacritic score for Battlefield 3, and we are ready for you to join us online. Here are a few quick things you might want to take care of to get yourself into Battlefield 3 as quickly as possible on launch day: http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/BF3-Vaulting.jpg 1) Create an Origin account, if you haven’t already. You can do so here. If you have an EA account then you already have an Origin account! Make sure you know your account name and password. 2) Download the Origin client. You will need to have the latest version (8.3.1) of the Origin client running on your PC in order to play Battlefield 3. To make sure you're up-to-date, we recommend clicking here to get the latest version up and running on your system. 3) Double-check to make sure you have the latest graphics card drivers. Visit the drivers section at AMD or Nvidia, depending on what your manufacturer of choice is. 4) Pre-load Battlefield 3. If you purchased Battlefield 3 through Origin (or any other digital retailer that is offering BF3 and supports pre-load as an option), the game is currently available for pre-load. This means the game will be downloaded and installed already when it goes live. The game will unlock at specific times in each region, and you will not be able to play it before the unlock-time in your region. 5) Check your PC specs. Minimum and recommended specs below: Minimum System RequirementsOS: WINDOWS VISTA (SERVICE PACK 2) 32-BITPROCESSOR: 2 GHZ DUAL CORE (CORE 2 DUO 2.4 GHZ OR ATHLON X2 2.7 GHZ)MEMORY: 2 GBHARD DRIVE: 20 GBGRAPHICS CARD (AMD): DIRECTX 10.1 COMPATIBLE WITH 512 MB RAM (ATI RADEON 3000, 4000, 5000 OR 6000 SERIES, WITH ATI RADEON 3870 OR HIGHER PERFORMANCE)GRAPHICS CARD (NVIDIA): DIRECTX 10.0 COMPATIBLE WITH 512 MB RAM (NVIDIA GEFORCE 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 OR 500 SERIES WITH NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GT OR HIGHER PERFORMANCE)SOUND CARD: DIRECTX COMPATIBLEKEYBOARD AND MOUSEDVD ROM DRIVE Recommended System RequirementsOS: WINDOWS 7 64-BITPROCESSOR: QUAD-CORE CPUMEMORY: 4 GBHARD DRIVE: 20 GBGRAPHICS CARD: DIRECTX 11 COMPATIBLE WITH 1024 MB RAM (NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 OR ATI RADEON 6950)SOUND CARD: DIRECTX COMPATIBLEKEYBOARD AND MOUSEDVD ROM DRIVE http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=52944View the full article

Name a control point on Gulf of Oman in Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand for a chance to get included in the in-game credits! Gulf of Oman is one of the most classic Battlefield maps ever, making its return together with three more maps in the upcoming Battlefield 3: Back To Karkand expansion pack – free with all Battlefield 3 pre-orders. When redesigning the Back to Karkand maps for Battlefield 3, the design philosophy has been to recreate the maps from Battlefield 2 a few years later in time than the original battles. As a player you will recognize most parts of the maps, but all things will not have stayed the same. For example, one of the control points in Gulf of Oman (Rock Fort) used to be a seaside military base. In Battlefield 3, this control point now sees villas in the same location. This means we need a new name for this control point! What do you think the control point should be called? Please take your inspiration from the screenshot and control point description below and send us your suggestion! Doing this means you have a chance to get your control point name included in the expansion pack – and your own name in the credits! More info on the control point http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Name_2D00_it_2D00_and_2D00_claim_2D00_it.jpg This beach was once the scene of intense fighting, as the US marine corps staged an amphibious assault in order to capture the strategically located airfield. Since then, this beautiful locale has started transforming into a desert gem for wealthy tourists, as luxury housing and parks are being constructed. However, war is once again casting its shadow over this landscape and very soon, a violent confrontation between the world’s military super powers is bound to take place.
