Something weird is going on, when I go to campaign mode the intro screens stutter through and the sound loops back, and my motherboard horn goes off after a while in the main menu, like my cpu is overheating, but my cpu is above spec, it's a Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93 & 2.13GHz. According to EVGA Precision my graphics card is hardly even being used, and I just updated my graphics and sound drivers. I do have a sound card.

Help?

Yea, that happened to me too, I messed around with the audio settings and turning off the second option (sound ambient? Something like that), fixed it for me. I'm running a Core 2 Duo at 2.9GHz and a Radeon 5570 with 4GB of RAM on Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit. Runs smoothly at the preset High settings and 1360x768 Resolution. Only chokes during lots of smoke.

Expect lots of patches/updated drivers to be released in the next couple of weeks.
I also get TONS of lag on 64 player maps, but not on 32. Which I don't mind. I bet they'll fix it sooner or later. And it's not just me either, a couple of other guys were complaining about it too.

But all in all, one word describes BF3..... SEXY

Probably because their servers are flooded with traffic. I downloaded my digital pre order 3 days before release, took about 1 hour at 1.1MB/s.
I'm having loads of fun. People say the campaign was generic and dull, I think it's amazing, no where near CoD4 campaign, but enough to make me go wow. The graphics are amazing!

The campaign resembles Black Ops too much in the story line so far, but yes the graphics are amazing.

PC > Consoles.

Not sure if I'm wrong here or not, but isn't Xbox's servers Microsoft's problem, not DICE or EA?
I don't wanna sound like a Battlefield fanboy, but I've been seeing too many folks complaining about things that's not really DICE/EA fault.

I honestly have no idea, but I agree that PC is generally better than consoles, my PC just cant run many of the new games.  And plus I keep up with friends from high school on XBOX live.

You would have thought that with EA forcing origin on everyone they would have foreseen that this would be a problem but surprise surprise they didn't.
