Steam now has a 4 pack for sale. It's actually $149.97, that's 4 games for the price of 3...which isn't bad, but it really is a day late and a dollar short.

Yeah just saw that too. Current UK price is ?29.99 on Steam although I can get a physical copy for ?25. Now I just need 3 more people who'll buy it and I can get it for ?22.50 through Steam.

Good to see that you were playing on a PBBans streaming server ;)

Stats are currently showing over 1000 servers streaming, 236 total bans - 142 in the last 24 hours. The majority of the latest will be from the #50120 violation - Evenbalance wanted to take a chunk out of one of the major cheat sites, and succeeded! Waiting for the appeals to roll in now ;)

Yeah I played BC2 online for the first time today and I must've seen about 20-30 of those messages in a few hours.

that's why VAC is fail and PB is awesome. does it in real time, not monthly...

Yeah, its so awesome that it more often blocks legit players on some bull**** reasons than it bans actual offenders. I would rather play with hackers than use that piece of ****. Also Evenbalance is probably most ignorant company ever only behind apple seeing how they never do anything.

On another note - am i the only that has http://badcompany2.ea.com/soldier showing 0 everywhere for 2nd or so day?

PB only kicks, occasionally handing out global GUID bans for certain violations. It is the streaming communities that provide the lovely instant bans - specifically those that use the UCON method of streaming as opposed to repository :)

Tried to play some games today. I say tried. The only servers I could get on was the ones in my history. Kept getting my favourite message:

When I do get in there seems to be a flood of the following image, like every 5 minutes.

Which begs the question, is this happening just on the PC? Because If so I'll abandon ship and get the PS3 version. Im sick and tired of it all.

I am in love with the M1 Garand. So much ownage in a neat little package :) It and the M14 are my two favourite weapons in this game. So much more satisfying to use than any M60 or noob-tube/pro-pipe :)

Also, @Anaron: http://www.battlefie...ny2.com/veteran <-- Veteran site is now back up and integrated into the BC2 site.

Every time I try it, it keeps saying

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

      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

      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?
