Its also clear that Origin services is broken is doesnt work for everyone! Hasn't worked for me since BETA, and even now I have the same problem with BF3 retail!

All we are doing is wasting our bandwidth, power and time trying to download this game

All I ask for is an Alternative option to download the GAME!

EA, please upload the installer on a Torrent, Server mirror whatever you got! We are just fed up of relying on origin to finish the download!!

Signed!

We need EA to take notice of this!!

Please sign.. even if you have successfully downloaded... if not today.. you will definitely have issues in future when they release patches, map pack, DLC etc!!

I have been in contact with the EA support, all they tell me is how to uninstall origin and delete things in regedit which is kinda funny since I've told them that I have formatted my computer and reinstalled windows from scratch. It seems like EA's technicians does not know what 'formatting' is and is probably why Origin is such a bad program by using people with no computer experiences.

Anyway I'm fed up with the support by now and I have asked them countless of times to send me a CD/DVD to install the game instead but no success.

Too help the technicians understand what formatting is I'll be nice and tell you.

Formatting is when you format your whole drive (means everything on the drive gets deleted and there's absolutely nothing left on your hard-drive.) And then I reinstalled Windows again after that (No ghosting just a plain and simple reinstall from the Windows 7 CD)

And still when I download origin and try to download Battlefield 3 it runs up too 80% then jumps back down to 50% and then back up to 90% back down to 60% and this continues on and on and on.

I don't know but it seems like Origin is a "new system" for EA so I'll hand you another tip.
Take contact with a company called 'Valve' and ask them about their program 'Steam' cause that program works alot better (their games is downloadable atleast - perhaps not at full speeds like 10-12MB/sek but atleast the games does not keep redownloading or keep downloading after 100%) Anyway them seem to have their network routing and that kind of issues solved.

Give us an Alternative Download server or SHIP THE GAME TO OUR DOORSTEP!!

Man why we are having sooooo many problems for just to play a game, is not technicians fault they are just working there..
EA has develop this such a great game and they F** up whit this origin thing.. godamn they hould hang the bastards

/signed. Alternate download/Origin fix by the end of day today to live up to your promise of being able to play the digital download as soon as the game launches OR REFUND.

DICE developed the great game... EA just developed the crappy Origin!

+1

Please indicate another way of downloading this game. origin is a epic fail.

I don't think we will be able to play battlefield 3 on release date

If you guys think the topic title is not enough "attention grabbing"

then please advise me on the appropriate title
Will gladly edit it!!

Welcome to the party!! We are gathered here because we all are having same issue!

An alternative download would be better and should not take long for EA to throw up on origin **NOTE** DO NOT PUT ANOTHER DOWNLOAD LINK THAT USES ORIGIN**, make it a torrent-file or a normal HTTP download.... perhaps both?
