[TOS'd]

To play before midnight release you have to do these steps. This will make your game think you are in korea, in which the game has already been released.

This is how I unlocked Battlefield 3 early on the PC:
1. Search Windows for "proxy"
2. Click "configure proxy server"
3. Click "LAN settings"
4. Check "use a proxy server for LAN"
5. Input this IP: 203.232.208.116
6. Input this port: 8080
7. Run the release date check by launching Battlefield 3 on Origin
8. If the release date check fails, click "retry"
9. Once it succeeds, disable the proxy
10. Enjoy playing Battlefield 3!
