No patch this week, it failed QA again apparently. How fail is their coding and whatever else that it's not passed how many times in a row now? 8? 9? They said it will be out next Monday depending on if it will pass Steams QA or not.

"Xbox 360 owners will be able to pick up Onslaught mode in the very near future and we are also still investigating the possibility of Onslaught coming to PC."

PS3 owners already got Onslaught today, 360 have to wait for an unknown amount of time. Screw DICE and all their BS.

Wow, great, just great! I have the rest of this week off but of course the patch won't be released. I'm a patient person but this is a joke...

To make this post less whiney, lets discuss the awesomeness that is pp2000 with magnum and extra ammo. I love this combo.

People are blaming Steam because of DICE's inability to make a patch that works. :laugh:

and DICE is loving everything second of that...

Well, it obviously tripped something in Steam QA, so yeah I guess the blame is 90/10 (10 being Steam).

that's BS, they are what? 2 months over due now? and in that time they couldn't get it t pass Steam's QA?

But it's ok that Activision has given everything to the 360 first?

Just checking since you never mentioned anything like that in the MW2 thread.

I didn't defend or condone it because I don't have MW2 on my PS3. If I had MW2 on my PS3 and I was delayed content by a month like the 360, I too would be ****ing and moaning about it.

So apparently to fix the lag (that's been plaguing the 360), if you switch your EA.com profile country to UK you'll play on UK servers, which are lag free, even when playing from US.

So it seems only the US servers are ****ed up. As that last few games I've played have been lag-free and once I switched back to USA as country it was laggy.

Anyone noticing worse performance with the Catalyst 10.6 drivers? I'm not talking about the CrossFire issue that's affecting people with HD 5000 video cards. I have an HD 4870 and I swear I'm getting noticeably worse performance than before (Catalyst 10.5). The game stutters and my FPS is nearly halved in the first 30 seconds of joining a server. After that, my FPS goes up and down like the beating of a healthy heart.

Also does this use a separate friends list to Steam? If so I'll probably be Chasethebase when I get my copy on Saturday.

Yes. As far as I'm aware, the only games that use Steam's friends list are games that use Steamworks.

Just did a short single round of Onslaught, waiting on some friends to get home and download. It's looks like it's going to be awesome. I'll see how it goes with a squad, but I'm thinking it's going to be fun.

It's fun. Only challenge is on Hardcore mode and even then, with a decent squad you shouldn't have any trouble with it. But nice change to the normal BC2 combat.

Anyone know what the Multiplayer Update 2 did/changed, other than allow you to play Onslaught?

Played all 4 maps in Onslaught last night and got 4 out of 8 acheevos. It's indeed fun, and I am glad they added it. However, I don't think it's $10 worth IMO. Probably really worth $7 at most. Once you play through them, which is relatively quick on normal mode (best time so far for one map taking down 3 flags is 4 minutes), it will be pretty repetitive after awhile. No doubt hardcore mode will make it take longer and add additional need for some skills and working together. We were able to do 2 people on the desert map, and took our time and did it on normal in 20 minutes. We were scoping out the map and trying different options.

Drop in and drop out is awesome.

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
