official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[trag3dy]

Just got an email for my AKS-74U Assault Rifle pre order item from Gamestop. :laugh:

Apparently you input the codes for DLC stuff in game, as the directions in the email seem to indicate. I like that, no going through a hard to navigate website like for ME2 and Dragon Age.

[SMELTN]

WTF they didn't even ask me for my email.. hmmm

[trag3dy]

It just used my email that I registered at Gamestop with. They're really bad with sending out emails for pre order items. I pre ordered ME2 from Gamestop as well and I didn't get my email until 2 weeks after I got the game. By then I had emailed Gamestop and told them I never got one. So in the end I ended up getting 2 pre order codes. :shiftyninja::laugh:

I wouldn't recommend anyone cheat the system like that..but yeah...I didn't do it on purpose! And you still have 4 more days or so before it really matters.

I am pretty sure that should not matter and you will get it anyway. My one friend who preorders from Gamestop quite often is always referencing the fact he gets emails from them as well about his preorders, and I know for a fact I personally never do. I think some of us are registered under our email, some of us are not. I think we still get the same codes at the end of the day. I would just call them tomorrow to verify though. Actually still time to call them tonight. (Y)

:sleep:

I just watched that vid. Why is there no recoil when he's firing the rifle? o_O

[SMELTN]

Apparently bootleg is out :(

Hope this beats MW2 in sales still!

I don't see it being MW2, because MW2 appeals to a bunch of kids, where as the Battlefield series never has. It's more of the older crowd who likes the slower paced big world combat.

I called them, and they did not even have an email address on file for me. So I cleared that up. Thanks!!

Others can get the weapons too...they just have to rank up to be able to use them. It's just early access for some items as a "thank you" for pre ordering.

[MR_Candyman]

hopefully this time the "rank up" weapons will be available in single player. Also, hopefully the system will work properly. I never seem to rank up in 2142, despite being on the ranked servers and it saying I rank up. It never actually ranks me up.

[mattmatik]

Can't wait for release! Had a blast with BC1.

[laz45]

BC2 has lots of cut scenes

Did you not play the beta or demos at all? The rank up system seemed to work just fine. Other than it was capped to rank 11 for the pc beta. I don't know how it worked in the console demos.

no I haven't played the beta or demo of bad company 2. I'm just irked that after all this time they still haven't fixed it in 2142. Hopefully it doesn't have the same problem in this game.

Thank you very much for putting an end to this foolishness before it even begun DL.

Just put in my pre-order for the 360. I realize most here have abandoned the console for PC but hopefully I catch up online with a few of you.

IGN Review - 8.9

[trag3dy]

They gave the game a 9 on graphics and sound while giving MWF2 a 10 for those. :pinch:

I've never played a game that sounds as good as BC2. That's kind of surprising.

[Green_Eye]

IGN Review - 8.9

That guy made absolutely no sense. He kept exclaiming how the game had huge wondrous maps and vistas packed with tank warfare etc and says the game wasn't cutting it to be labeled epic? What did he want? a snowmobile race that ends in a super jump? Oh wait.

Also as mentioned above, MW2 gets higher on graphics? is he high? :huh:

It's the hype-effect and that's why you should never trust reviews, they are BS now a days.

[trag3dy]

Well they had different reviewers for both games...but still. The sound and graphics in BC2 are way beyond anything I've seen in MWF2, which is pretty much exactly the same as CoD4.

[ienhz]

I agree, the surround sound in Bad Company 2 is amazing.

That said, I just placed my pre-order today. First time I've ever pre-ordered a game. Beta and demo had me sold already.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

MW2 has better graphics than BC2? Yeah, right. :laugh:

@Green_Eye - I see what you mean. He did go on about beautiful vistas and long draw distances and said it wasn't epic. That's pretty conflicting.
