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

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
