why is this thing downloading the game when i have the freaking discs......

convo with EA tech support

Reena:
Hello Aaron.
you:
Hi, bought the game on PC, have the actual physical DVDs... how do i get it to install from the disc instead of downloading?
Reena:
Could you please tell me the game name and the platform?
you:
Battlefield 3 on PC
Reena:
Okay.
Reena:
Please allow me some time here.
Reena:
Thanks for waiting.
Reena:
You need to insert the dvd in your disc drive.
Reena:
Then you would be able to install the game in your pc
you:
Yeah... the dvd IS int he drive
you:
It installed origin, then I logged into origin, and instead of installing the game from the disc it started downloading the game
Reena:
Yes it is.
Reena:
This is the same thing.
you:
N o it isn't
you:
Installing from the disc is much faster
you:
Downloading the game takes 1.5 hours or more
Reena:
You need to restart the pc in this case.
you:
Ok, thank you.



Aaaand after the reboot, SAME THING it starts downloading again I mean, I have a fast connection and it's coming in at 3 MB/s.... but seriously, i could have had this installed and playing an hour ago if it would've just installed from the F'ing disc... @(&^ it, i'm goin to sleep

they are hard to fly. it will definitely take getting used to and it will be funny to see all the crashes this week from noobs. The planes are the same way. I actually got the game yesterday at noon and played the campaign ALL DAY!!! The campaign is top notch. Great story but kinda similiar to black ops in a way as far as the interrogation goes. Today is multiplayer day and can't wait till I get off work. It's amazing how real the guns sound!!

I have always had issues with pc shooters...... hence my switch to consoles. Pc versions of games are usually better though.......... if and when they work
