Wow no thread for this?
This game is nearing release and I keep seeing trailers that make me BADLY want it! The multi-player looks much much better than BF2 both infantry combat (pet peeve with BF2) and vehicular combat.

Heres the latest video:

Looks very intense and I cannot get over how much better the infantry combat looks. I always thought that if BF2 had CSS style infantry combat it would have been unbelievably good, now it looks to have very Modern Warfare like combat I think that could be right on the money.

Very pumped for this game, I'm hoping lots of us get it! Would be an awesome games night game

Might be limited by the amount of people that can run it though...
no beta discount for me.
last night i had 15gb, now i have 4gb left, there is still more downloading.
that is definitely not 6gb.
That sounds mega borked :/ sure something else isn't downloading? Are you using steam beta??

i'm not using steam beta.
no idea what is going on, but it has completely ripped apart my download limit. that much is certain.

last night i was all "7 hours, that is more than enough for 6gb" but nooooooo, has to be epic lame and be much more than that just for one specific case, mine.

first game for this to happen to.
usually it is an incredibly simple and a much less frustrating experience than going to a store and talking to..... salespeople.
Why is it that people that work in game stores act like such incomprehensible fools?
So I got the game and all, registered to get my m1garand, had it for a round. Then I used the bonus code to get my limited edition unlocks. Now the m1 has disappeard, and I cant get it back, it says its unlocked but I can no longer select it.

So word of warning till EA fix this prolem (not holding my breath for this one), Don't veteran your account then use the limited edition unlocks.
In no big hurry to get the M1 anyway I've always hated it give me a bolt action any day. And my ass this game us 10h long I'm only 2h in and I cannot believe I've only played 1/5 of the game.

I just finished a bit with an Abrhams and it's an absolute beast! Fires at least twice as fast as the T90, zooms in (main cannon) and accelerates probably twice as fast too, top speed maybe a little faster. Pretty epic. The AI seem to be incredibly accurate with the Ruski Light Tank too they were nailing me with those grenades from a maaaassive distance >_<

EDIT: also the field of view is very cramped, feels like borderlands and though mouse acceleration is disabled I swear it's on :s last time I thought that I was right but it was windows and I turned it off so i dunno what's up with it now..
is this game better than mw2?
Grr why is taking so long to DL. When I got home it said only 35% downloaded. I restarted steam and it then said 25%! Its at 27% now...

The beta was better than MW2. If you mean single player, probably not but its hard to compare them, totally different play style. Its not a visceral thrillride like COD but its better in other ways like the combat, you can take enemies on from several angles rather than just one and the characters are awesome

By the way guys, its no a 10 hour campaign my Steam was at 6 hours and you can take a 45 min phone call off that time so probably 5.5 hours maybe less. I died a few times coz I have a habit of running and gunning RPG's also hurt! Campaign is really fun and the characters are pretty bloody funny

Just played MP for a bit... you get the Thompson/Dart straight off but you have to unlock the med kit and defib and everything... its annoying coz at the start your medic is just a machine gunner I still haven't even got bloody defib!

FFFFFFFU I wish I was fifteen.

I went into JB since I have $80 worth of JB vouchers and a bit of money as well. Saw BF BC2 for $85 (sadly buying online is no longer an option :/) but the guy made me give him my id :/

I tried saying 'eff i lost it' but he simply said, 'cant serve you then'.

Arsehole.

Bully!

It was you, wasn't it @ICC_06?
just put your hand in your jacket pocket and point at him "here is my id bish!"

How often do 15yo's have id?
Well generally they have their student id card in their wallet. Generally their wallet is in their pocket. Generally, their pocket is on their pants.

Generally/hopefully, their pants are covering their lower region. Therefore, it shouldn't be that uncommon for 15 year olds to have their id.

Reach your hand into your pocket and flip him the bird
Holy bat nipples, your not 15+ KK, I thought you were.
derailment in progress.

so how about that bad company 2 hey?
I'll hopefully be getting it tonight.

Also, I've never had problems with id. Guess I've been this big and ugly since I was 12
Do beg my pardon DoYL, it came as a shock.
Everyone noticed the game been optimized really well?

It's k, i thought the bat nipples comment was rather lol-worthy.

I'll be getting in to this tonight for sure (that is if the download has actually finished now, i swear it has downloaded twice already)

Workin back late tonight, so we will see what time I get home.
I pre-ordered the special edition of BC2 off steam.
Played the beta and it was epic and now i don't think i can download it without blowing my cap
btw anyone know how big the download is?
