    No official word yet. The domain just appeared and it appears to be legit. It's an EA site, so it's got to be true. Only 103 hours to go for early beta access dudes, who got MoH or BF3 on Origin.
     
    Finally!

    @Seppli: Which means 103 + 48 = 151 hours for everyone else! :P 
     
    EDIT: Didn't see the giant second counter for non-early goers. 152 according to that. Also 104 not 103 for earlies (dependent on timezone obviously.)

    Nice, and I literally pre-ordered the digital copy off Origin like 30 minutes ago.

    @Xaiin: Gonna suggest not calling something fake on a 1-post account. However, there does seem to be suspicion on the official BF3 forums (though those forums are trash)

    In case anyone is too lazy to click, this is basically one of the devs confirming and reconfirming that the countdown is fake.

    Dang - the little EA icon in the browser really sold me on the legitimacy of the countdown timer. Guess that's as easy to fake as everything else. At least it wasn't anything malicious.
