I hate this...
it's installed now, but this god damned server browser won't seem to work. It's been on "joining server" for ages.
Why couldn't they have created a normal server browser IN-GAME and not on the WEB

1 word: money (they get paid for advertising stuff in your server browser, and they can advertise their own games for free as well).

For those with problems loging in do this:

1) Go to the location where Origin installed battlefield. This folder is called: "Beta Battlefield 3" (grave accent on first e). Now this is the problem; the Windows registry system can't cope with the 'e' with the grave accent, so change it to a normal 'e': "Beta Battlefield 3".

2) Next press the Windows key + r on your keyboard and enter "regedit" (without the "), press enter. Now navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Wow6432Node -> EA GAMES. Click on 'Bf3 Beta'. On your right you see a row of information where the 3rd and 4th row are filepaths, and there the annoying 'e' is back! Change the e's with the grave accent to normal 'e' in both filepaths and close the registry editor.

I had the same problem and now it works. I work with win7 64 bit so for the 32 bit windows the path is slightly different.

Quick first impressions after four hours of installing it:

+ It is definitely better than BC2. Even the small rush map metro beats the BC2 rush maps.
+ Caspian Border will be awesome.
+ Step towards the good ol' Battlefield.
- Origin and the web based server browser. Worse than Hitler.

I'm planning to build a new PC at some point, so I will most likely buy BF3 at least then.

What I get from this is, the cracked version will be a superior gaming experience. Hurray for EA!

It won't start without origin or battlelog (which also requires origin and ea account). Sorry :P

Just tried it on the PS3 and I have to say I think I loved it even more over there (at least for the rush bit).  Despite having the most pimped PC money can buy and running it all silky smooth on high I really have to give Dice credit for putting out a damn fine game on 2006 tech (also seemed less glitchy on the PS3).

^Everything thorondor said is what i want to say

I also need a better PC, once i have it, i will get BF3. Its a good step back towards the good old battlefield.
