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.

    • 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.
    • 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?
