Dear Tuesday,

Why can't you be more like your sister Monday? You're a pathetic excuse for a weekday. Hurry up and become today already!

All the best,

You're right about BC2 - even if they take the activation servers down in the future, you'll be able to install the game fresh again, you'll just have to leave the disc in the drive when you play (which is the way I'm going to be doing it).

I'm not too concerned if I can't activate the game online in 10 years time. By then, BF3/BF4 or BF: BC3/4 would be out. I wouldn't want to play an old game by then.

Your CPU is under the minimum spec, but not by all that much.
Your video card, on the other hand, is well under the minimum spec. The one review I located for it showed 3DMark scores less than half of a 6800GT. Which is well under the performance of the minimum recommended 7800GT.

I'm going to have to advise against trying this.

Heh, I used to have an ATI x600 a few years back, and it'd barely play BF2 (at 1680x1050). There's no way in hell it'll play BC2. Sorry.

While some elements are more like MW2, knifing and grenade dedicated keys, a single-player campaign vs Conquest against bots, etc, it is still a Battlefield title. It is MUCH MORE like BF2 than MW2. It is about teamwork.

The VOIP in the beta was buggered, and there were a lot of noobs, it should mature in to a very similar community as BF2.

Agree. Teamwork will pwn lonewolves like in BF2.

Hopefully VOIP will be fixed, if not, try and find a sever that also uses Teamspeak.
 
I wonder why the steam unlock is so much later than everyone else. Makes sense the ea one is first, but one would think it would be the same as the d2d. Oh well.

Also any word on the uav getting its own controls? When inverting the flight controls it messes with the uav's, making it really hard(at least for me) to control.
 
As much as I hate buying games without trying them, I am really thinking about grabbing this one. Everyone I talk to that got in on the beta said it was really good. I loved BF2 and can't wait for 3, so this should hold me over. Just a question though: is it as arcadie as the MW2?

I can tell you Smackbaby that this game reminds me of a cross between Crysis Warhead and MW2. I'm currently on the 5th level and so far it's a very good game.

No it's not as "arcadie" as MW2.

And the q9950 you sold me is getting used finally, all 4 cores.😀

If you loved BF2, you will at least like BFBC2.

Do it. All your BF2 buddies are doing it too... It's going to get lonely out there in BF2 land.
 
Anyone else receive a text from Gamestop saying their copy would be available tomorrow in the AM?

Been awhile since I preordered anything from Gamestop, do they still call or has the texting taken over? Can't wait to play tomorrow.
 
As long as it is in the same style as BF2, I will be picking this up once I get off work. I hope I can still get the 1911 unlock. I've been debating buying one in real life for so long. Best handgun ever made.

Sony’s PS3 Suffers Massive Outage.

UPDATE: Sony just posted a new entry on the official PlayStation blog saying engineers believe they have "identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system." The company hopes to resolve the problem within 24 hours and advises users of older PS3 models not to use their consoles until the glitch is fixed.

..."slim" models of the PS3 are not affected by the "8001050F" error.

No work tomorrow....SWEET! But got a sick baby at home so i'll only be playing when he's sleeping until my wife gets home then she's on baby duty.
 
No official link but I was reading Official Xbox Magazine at my barber shop yesterday and they gave it an 8.5 which the entire review was pretty much based on two pages talking about the single player and one bubble in the upper right hand corner about multiplayer.

Is the review industry stupid sometimes? Its like reviewing Mass-Effect 2 solely on multiplayer -_-
