ARGH why release it NOW im about to go bed cause i got college...wait...i shall leave my mighty compootay on, and my xbox 360 lol on, has the 360 got auto off function like the old one had?!

I know what you mean mate, it's weird. I checked the Dashboard earlier this evening, and didn't see anything, so I jumped on GRAW. Completed the game on Hard, and came back to the dash, and 3 of my bud's had left me to go and play Billiards Cut-throat. So in my boredom, I went to check the dash again and it MUST have just that moment gone up... Quite funny, they all quickly quit playing billiards! :laugh:

Only annoying thing now, is it's so late, I really gotta goto bed really... :no:

The demo is awesome guys!

The only thing that bugged me was the shadows are covered in jaggies. Is this because it's ported or is it like this on pc/xbox?

I've never played BF before but damn it's fun. Might have to consider buying this game now :woot:

The controls feel weird though. They're somewhat different to BF2:MC for Xbox... Going to take a while to adjust. It looks like being probably the game i'll spend most of my MP time, PlainLazy, it is alot of fun. Single Player, IMO is boring as hell, but MP is quality...

Yeah I've heard lots of people say that SP is boring but you'll play MP the most anyways. It's what I did with Halo 2. Once I completed the campaign I rarely ever played it again because of MP.

I think I'm going to read up on a few reviews of BF:MC2 tomorrow. Get a better idea of the rest of the game before buying it though.. I have other games to play in the mean time so I might hold out a bit on it.

I can see this demo being played a lot of easter :D

I will without a doubt be buying BF2 for the 360.

I think they did an excellent job of taking the same overall premise, but making it work on a console.

It is definitely a dumbed down version of the PC game, but as I said for a console it works amazingly well. Much, much better than I thought it would honestly. I am honestly extremely pleasantly surprised.

My one and only gripe is that everything moves so quickly. I never realized how much of a strategic factor choosing when you sprint really was until I just played this. Sprint appears to be the default movement. you always move fast, so as a result it is much more fast paced than it's PC counterpart. I prefer this was not the case, but I do understand since it is on a console why they decided to go this route.

It will by no means replace BF2 for me on the computer, but it will definitely be a game I will play now and then while sitting on my couch.

I admit that maybe it is because I love BF2 for the PC so much and I am therefore extremely biased, but I really think this is perhaps the best overall MP game I have played on a console as far as being well rounded with the both the vehicle and on foot game play.

Much better than I thought it would be. I also had very low expectations as well. I just could not imagine how they were going to translate the same overall idea from the PC to the console, but they appeared to have done a pretty damn good job of it all.

Graphics are actually really damn impressive as well, especially considering it is an 24 player online game.

Again, I will without a doubt be buying BF2 for the 360.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
