Title: Battlefield 3 FOR FREE!!
Post by: FUBAR on May 29, 2014, 11:41:52 pm
Battlefield 3 (Vanilla edition) is FREE on Origin at the moment.

(This is EA's version of Steam)

Grab it while it lasts if you want it.

Seems fine and that's on an SP2 (i5)


EDIT: Of course I missed that the main point is that it's free, so I've joined Origin and am downloading it anyway (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif)

No.

Not quite as good as Steam with the Mac ported games (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/confused.gif)

I thought you were too old for LANs, now ? (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/tongue.gif) . . . . <checks date> . . ahh, you'll be freshly married by then so it all makes sense, any chance to escape the missus !

(http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/lol.gif)

I'll need to upgrade, too, so maybe October would make sense . . . . .

Don't mind hosting . . . the conservatory works well, especially with the blinds, now - it keeps the heat in nicely when it's cold outside (especially with Ryan's P.C running).
