Sup3r_Dr4gon: Boat sig is not there anymore; +214|6566|Australia

Got myself a second BF3 CD key today. When I first picked my preorder up from EB games, I got home to discover I didn't have the physical warfare pack key in my case. Took it back today, and it turns out I had been given just the standard edition rather then the special edition. So they got the spec edition and I thought they would open it up, take out the unused CD key and put my used one in it's place, but they just said 'our new guy screwed up, just take the whole thing.'

And the PWP is awesome. The DAO rapes face:

Protip: Easiest way to level up guns/rank is to play 64 man operation metro as medic.

And whoever at DICE/EA thought it was a good idea to make a flashlight as effective as looking at the sun needs to be fired

Just run fraps then set your screenshot button and save folder on the screenshots tab. Then when you're ingame press the screenshot button you set and it will save screenshots to that folder.

We can download the stuff if we get our hands on a valid, unused code.
The promo is US only (and Canada, IIRC), so the bottles with codes are only sold in those regions.

I once a bottle got from a listia.com auction and downloaded the Spore bot parts.

Back then, when I created an account on the Dr Pepper site, it asked for a valid US city with zip code, which someone kindle posted on a forum.
Nowadays they still require a zip code for account creation.

Having said all that, does anyone from the USA (or Canada) have an unused bottle code?

Some servers are a bit laggy (i have my filter to europe only), my pc can't handle the game properly and there are some (and also some not so) obvious game design mistake's but these have all been covered in this thread.

But I'm finally getting the hang of this game.

LE costs the same as the standard edition, so why not.

I had a couple back when I was asking that first question. Ended up using them since no one from the EU seemed interested.

Might pick up some more today when I'm at work...I'll let you know in about 9 hours.

So what's the deal with the jets shaking and blowing up constantly while flying? It doesn't do it all the while, so I've come to the idea that it is to make up for rubber-banding..? Only reason I can think of.

It does no damage, but it shakes like a motherfucker, and getting a target can be difficult.

Get it low to ground, too. Sometimes causes me to just vear downwards in to trees and shit, but I don't blow up - which makes me think it's in place to show you're lagging...

I think it's better than rubber-banding, but it still sucks.
