    **OFFICIAL** AT Battlefield 3 FAQ and News Thread

    I played on tugboat last night for the first time. First of all I had a blast. I apologize to any team mates who thought I was crazy running around not knowing where to go. I'm sure I also gave a few of you some good easy kills. I'm not very good at this game. I play from my couch on a 55"...

    **OFFICIAL** AT Battlefield 3 FAQ and News Thread

    I have pre-ordered BF 3 on the PC but have been out of multiplayer gaming for a while. The last game I really played against people was Modern Warfare 2 on the 360. Battlefield 3 looks amazing but I'm nervous since I don't know the maps at all and have no idea how to control the vehicles. Is...

    When is OpenAL going to catch up with EAX?

    Lossless audio out of HDMI makes sound cards irrelevant. I used creative products for years but now I do audio through my graphics card. With a good setup it sounds great, and by having the audio programming done using CPU resources you don't have to worry about some games supporting EAX...

    Does anyone play PC games on their tv?

    I game PS3, 360 and PC games on a 55" TV with a 7.1 surround system. It is amazing. Gaming on a small PC monitor doesn't compare. I have a wooden lapboard that I use for my Logitech G15, and G9. I use a USB-IR converter to use the wired keyboard and mouse sitting on my couch. The 2...

    When did gamers become such <insert expletive here>!?

    I totally agree. I don't like super hard games. Just give it scalable difficulty and let gamers choose how much punishment they want.

    Everybody's got that one turd sitting on their hard drive. What's yours?

    I installed Doom 3 now that I finally have a kick but 7.1 surround sound system. I have been lusting after this game for years but wanted it to be super immersive on my 55" TV with 1080P graphics and full surround. I spent hours trying to get the dang thing to run on my computer. I got...

    Please list your games....

    I have to say this thread is encouraging to me as I play more games than anyone I know. It's good to see that there is still a good PC gaming community that plays through lots of different series of games like I do. Also AdamK47 wins the thread for having the most games installed and the best...

    Please list your games....

    I only have one game installed at a time. I try to finish all my games so I don't want a bunch installed distracting me from whatever I'm playing. Just finished Vampire Bloodlines. Next probably Doom 3 + ROE.

    PC exlusive (or PC centric) games of past 3-5 years?

    I just finished Vampire Bloodlines this weekend. It's an older game but I thought it was great. No bugs or problems with the latest unofficial patch.

    So Dragon Age 2 is really bad on the PC and consolized?

    What are the chances that some of the complaints about the PC version can be fixed by mods? Could you mod in the ability to choose your companions armor?

    I'm looking at the Linksys wrt610n dual N router and am wondering if it supports 2 separate subnet masks and 2 SSIDs? Thanks.

    I have a sb X-fi Platinum on a computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 32. Is it possible to use analog out for games from the back of the sound card and optical from the front panel for movies and music? If so will I have to manually configure the output each time? I'd like to use the digital...

    X-fi to Home audio Receiver?

    Awesome. Thanks so much for the advice. I will probably just get the stereo to RCA splitters then. I'm planning on hooking my X-Fi up to a Denon 3808ci once I get my 7.1 home theater setup after taxes!

    X-fi to Home audio Receiver?

    Why is that? I have a sound blaster X-Fi platinum. If I want great surround sound for games through my receiver how should you hook it up? With the home theater cables Creative sells?

    Should faster download speed kill Hi-Def optical media?

    Someday maybe, but with the current infrastructure and the horrible DRM that I'm sure will accompany digital downloads I wouldn't hold my breath for it. I give Blu Ray at least a 10 yr life cycle.
