The game itself is 25GB now. You can download files from another website, but the download will resume from around 11GB. The other 14GB is a set of patches, updates etc.

Unless you want your installed files gone, don't do this. You HAVE to let Origin download around 30-50MB. Pause it, replace the Origin files with your installed files, then resume. At least, that's what most people do.
But I use another way which I described here, http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f75/[guide]-resuming-battlefield-3-previous-176281/

I recommend you try the first way first. If it fails, THEN try my way of resuming.

Well, if you eidi leftover, you can buy 4 DVD Battlefield 3 for around Rs.200-240 (Depends on price per DVD). I just borrowed them from my friend and resumed from there.
well i asked my cousin to download it for me from his sharing server, he got dc++ sharing on his local net plus my local sharing refused to seed else i would download it myself from my local sharing portal..

BF3 disappeared from my origin account ? i last played bf3 in aug 2012 and few months back i opened my origin account and noticed there is no BF3 there, i contacted EA support and the asked me to verify my account details but sadly i couldn't remember the answer to my Security question. i purchased the game from RAJNI and i think it was RU Version.

- - - Updated - - -

got my answer : http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f137/bf3-disappearing-origin-130123/index2.html
So i think the culprit there is RAJNI for selling me wrong BF3 key ?

First clear these things


for BF3 premium you require BASE GAME
and BF3 PREMIUM EDITION it is BF3 BASE GAME + PREMIUM

if you have FREE BF3 copy yes you can add premium on it

as you said you have Base game so Go for BF3 Premium not "premium edition"

Yes premium contains all premium perks and all DLC

- - - Updated - - -

argh! fkin bank alhabib.
got a gold visa debit card.
on activation the guy says it can't be used on internet !!!

what a shit bank.

i don't know if the offer will last till 2mrw or not :s
only CREDIT card will work

as i foretold.
i already have a quite old base game.
here is the situation




only CREDIT card will work
unfortunately i am not having a credit card right now as i don't use credit cards.
what i am furious about right now is bank alhabib. They lured me to buy the Golden VISA Card with 50K per transaction limit for international and internet based transaction but at the stage of activation they are denying the usability of the card on internet.

il visit the branch manager and shove it up to his sweet spot first thing tomorrow morning.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
