Has anybody actually gotten the M1 Garand?

Yes, on both the 360 and the PC. What I believe is happening on the PC version is a lot of servers have disabled the Veterans upgrades somehow.

Has anyone read the latest BLOG. Big 1up to DICE for getting EA's act together.

I do believe this will be the last time we see problems. But im keeping faith. So far DICE has worked EA hard. BTW, did you see the numbers

The 4 different soldier types have gathered a score of more than 34 Billion.

There's been more than 400M kills made.

1.3M roadkills

Squads and Teams have assisted each other to 6.2 Billion points.

Holy crap. I dont blame them for not predicting that, but jesus its been a week and no its time to show whats up.

I wont be playing till sunday, also Friends list came back and went away, your friends list isnt LOST for good, its just the servers and the syncing got broke. Mine came back then broke then came back and broke again.

Until then ill be playing COD4, anyone wish to join me add me on xfire: sikhism.

Yeah, just read the blog entry. Hopefully, whatever they do fixes it for good because the taking down of servers is a bit annoying. I will admit, though, haven't had the kind of problems on 360 as PC, thankfully.

I'd say don't get your hopes up, sadly. When they say something is going to fix all the problems it's too good to be true. Is this supposed to happen shortly?

According to the blog, it started roughly 30 minutes ago (3:00 EST). No word on how long it'll take, just that the servers will be down at 3:00 EST on the 12th (today) and the 13th.

I got my Xbox pre order version from Amazon.co.uk

The game was meant to come with a code for early access to a gun (they mentioned it being an AK47 but that wasn't actually it as the game doesn't have an AK47)

Anyone know how to unlock this?

PS. XBL name is MalixL if you want to add me

Is any one else having trouble with the official Bad Company 2 website? I've never viewed it, but whenever I try to navigate there the stupid age gate says I'm under age. I've even cleared my cache and it still always says I'm under age.

I really hate those stupid age verification things. They are completely useless and do nothing but annoy. I really wish websites would stop using them.

Nah never had any issues with it other than it being incredibly slow and the My Soldier part not working yet at all (they pulled it).

You're looking at ~20 FPS with medium settings at 1680x1050. I recommend the Radeon HD 5770. You'll get ~50 FPS or more (depending on your specs) plus DX11 goodies. The cheapest ones go for about $140 USD.

Alright my specs are i7 860 Running at 2,8 and 6GB Ram. I Think im gonna buy tomorow an HD 5770 :D

This game is like crack, (when i can get in and play) but last night was fine connection wise. Finally getting better and receiving more than 1 medal/pin a round. Tons of fun.

+1

Never spent so much time playing 1 game and above all else even enjoying it when my team loses!

Awesome specs. It'll definitely run well on your system. (Y)

haven't played this game in a couple of days, been rallying FF. With all the server issues seems like i'm not missing much yet...

I guess I could say the same, haha.

Same here. I stepped away for a few days, hoping that they would sort out the server issues while I was gone. Looks like that wasn't the case, lol.

Going to (try) to play today though. I don't want to fall further behind in rank than I already have :).

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      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.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      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?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
