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.

    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
