User blog comment:Omnicube1/Battlefield 3 Leaked Onto Torrent Sites/@comment-4081799-20111018022751

To my knowledge, a crack for the game's installer has not yet been released. Though the torrent contains all the game files, it cannot be played.

Also, skimming through the comments on some of the torrent sites, it seems as if many of the people who downloaded the leaked version have already pre-ordered the game (or so they say), and just want to get in on "some early sp action."
