Those videos have reassured me that MW2 does indeed have at least more texture details. Although the BC2 video only showed demo and beta footage.

Meh guess I need to get my eyes checked cause BC2 looks better to me. Besides, didn't DICE say high textures were not available in the beta and demo?

Reading through this thread has actually psyched me up big time. I enjoyed the beta, but I got sick of playing in that snow level. Can't wait to get some urban warfare going. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a Steam pre-load.

BC2 and SupCom 2 on the same day. Big week for the PC for sure :).

I pressume if you can prove you have a legit copy of the game before Tues it's alright to talk about the game?

In the UK especially, we receive our pre-orders from e-tailers before launch due to their commitments to deliver "on release date". They usually over shoot and games arrive early. So for instance many people who ordered from Shopto will receive their copies tomorrow morning.

LMAO is it sad I hit my forehead with my hand IRL after reading his post..

Come on, where exactly is it so much better? I am not trying to "hate" on BC2, because it really is alot better than MW2. But from a visual aspect, negating any art style preference, I think it's pretty clear MW2 has a slight edge.

As far as I know the console version won't be improved much visually.

Someone has to agree with me... I can't be going senile already!!!

Funny, on my 7 years on here as a member and then a mod although I have heard of this happening, it definitely has not been on a "usually" basis by any means.

Tomorrow, you sure? EU Launch date is Thursday, not Tuesday. Never seen shops send games out that early.

And yes, if you can prove it, I guess it's alright but let's face it - Whoever has it now is sure to have pirated it.

Just no talk about the SP until Tuesday, it's official release date. Then I do not care where you live, etc.

If I see an article on a major gaming website saying someone messed up and somehow people in the EU are getting it 3 days earlier, than okay we will let it go.

Wow people that comment on the IGN review are MAD!

To be honest though, the reviews for Bad Company 2 and MW2 are very comprable. I understand they are done by 2 different reviewers, but the benchmarks for which this game got rated lower than MW2 seem pretty unfair.

If we can't discuss the game why don't you just go ahead and lock it till Tuesday?

Because that would prevent people from discussing other things such as the PC beta or X360/PS3 demo (and more). The intricacies of the SP campaign isn't the only topic of discussion here.

:rolleyes:

I mean seriously, How long have you been a member here? How long has it always been the same with this rule?

I would expect this type of talk from someone who may be a new member or who has not actively participated in the thread since Day 1.

I am literally dumbfounded right now. Close the thread? Because as already pointed out the previous 74 pages did not need to exist at all?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
