Well I know for Bioshock 2 on steam they let you pre order the 4-pack, so if they were gonna have one I think they'd put it by now? Although since it's still so far off maybe that will come later close to the actual retail date?

And minispy is back up, yay.

That's what I meant, the game is still over a month away from release - So there is time for a 4-pack to get released, would be nice with some solid information from Valve / EA / Dice.

I'm very impressed by the changes. It looks a lot better and the hit-detection also looks vastly improved. I'm looking forward to the PC beta/ multiplayer demo in Feb.

The single player looks pretty polished especially the scripted explosions and ragdolls being thrown by explosions.

Good news, the First Strike star wars mod i'm apart of is extremely limited to what we can do because the hit detection in BF2142 is absolutely horrible. Our tracking missles only work 50% of the time, and you can only hit a TIE fighter with lasers if you are directly behind them. I know there won't be any mod tools for BC2, but there weren't any for BF2142 and we managed to mod for that.

anyone know if demo out on 4th apparently is for real and not restricted to pre-orders either ?

Quoting myself:

I'll leave the e-mail I've recieved from Game here:

Ah ok cheers. So going to be public will be good to fill void playing on ps3 till then i guess till release on PC :D

What about pc demo?

Or will there be a way to play the pc beta without pre-ordering?

PC beta isn't starting till this Thursday (28th) unless that's only running for 1 week demo may not be till mid February if there is going to be one at all judging by probably size of people in beta they may not even do a public demo.

I don't remember this many people being excited for the first BC but hopefully that means even more of you will be on X360/XBL and thus more fodder for me to reach top rank quicker :devil:

Little over a month to go :heart:

The game looks much better and it's also on PC which is first frostbite engine game on PC so it'll be good to give it a go. The multiplayer looks for PC users like a good step up from the aged BF2 and much superior over MW2's joke of a game. So yeah it should be the next best thing on the block for a while if all goes well.

Might have something to do with it coming to the PC. No one cares for the 360. ;)

As Spookie said, I think people are excited about the PC version. A Frostbite-powered DX11 Battlefield game. I'm sure all the BF2 junkies would be eager to try it.

The first bc was underrated. A lot of people hate on it just because of the bc name because they are butthurt that bc was console exclusive.

The first wasn't very good, regardless if it was a console exclusive.

Oh have 7 mins of SP footage on me! Grab it before it gets pulled.

Just put in my pre-order via Steam. I've been itching for a new multiplayer game to play on my PC. As much as I love TF2, I'd love to play something that actually makes my rig do a little bit of work ;).

And yeah, PC versus 360 was a no-brainer for me. I've always enjoyed FPS games more on the PC, and besides, I have a plethora of games to play on the 360 (and the list will only grow this quarter), and my PC isn't doing a whole lot right now.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By excalpius · Posted

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
