Right Folks if Trig ever pulls his finger out and sends me my gfx (with extra brownies on the side ) what do I need to buy/get to get playing BF3 on our server? Is there a trial I could d/l first? Do I need certain add ons/ expansion packs? Do I need joystick? Is there certain known drivers that help with stability/game play? Anyone with a decent config they want to share? Etc etc
C'mon help this n00b out and you can use me as target practice
Thanks Folks

What Do I Need?
Moderator: Hammer
BF3 standard game is the the base game, most if not all are playing The Premium Package at the moment so if you want to join the gsv game I would suggest buying the Premium on top of BF3 (Bit expensive as a first buy Normal BF3 £39.99 + Premium £39.99)Class-- wrote: Right Folks if Trig ever pulls his finger out and sends me my gfx (with extra brownies on the side ) what do I need to buy/get to get playing BF3 on our server?

Or you could buy Arma 2 Arrowhead £10 (Arma 2 Free download) and join us on the DayZ mod (Free) a few of us are playing that at the moment (Mega - Nelly - Blade - Terry - Trig - Smoop - Larry)

I thought the ARMA2 free version didn't work or something Terry was saying, times out or does something else..
I ended up getting it form Steam for £24.99 for ARMA2 Combined Ops or something it was called, you get arrowhead and arma2 which is what you need, then download the SIX stuff..
Make sure you have a mic tho otherwise we cant laugh at you the first time you get chased up the road by a Z

Prices for BF3 can be found cheaper.
<a href="http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store ... 8%3a775273" target="_blank">Tescos</a> have BF3 for £21.
You can find it cheaper. £14ish, but thats for the key for a download russian copy normally.
If you want to play the new maps, you'll need BF3 premium as well.
This gives you the two existing expansions (Back to Karakland & Close Quarters) but also the to be released ones (another 3 packs)
Cheapest I've found, other than buying it out of asia, is <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/pc ... fil=thggps" target="_blank">Zavvi.com</a>, for £32 ish.
Both of these give free P&P.
Or you can buy the existing Xpacks on their own. They normally come as codes for the extra DLC from Origin and about £11 each.

It will work but you wont get Highest Graphic settings only Medium settings, But I only run mine on medium anyway as it good enough , I dont need to see every blade of grass or count how many bricks are on a building Just need to see the Zeds or Players.Trig wrote: I thought the ARMA2 free version didn't work or something Terry was saying, times out or does something else..
