Oh man, I could post some wicked screenies but DirtyLarry would kill me stone dead :(

So, can I discuss about this game tomorrow or I got to wait until Friday?

Just talk about what you like.

1: You can't play PC games online which are pirated. Eh hello, that's what BF games are all about?!?

2: Neither you nor I have a pc to play it anyway even if we could play it online

3: We can't play pirated 360 copies because the only copy which has leaked, is NTSC region

= talk about it all you want, we've done nothing wrong.

For the pc players out there, I've purchased a server and will be running it in hardcore mode. I'll post the info here tomorrow.

People are posting reviews and infos on the EA Official Forums - http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/417510.page

Don't see what the big issue is but oh well, roll on when Amazon actually decide to post my copy! :(

Have you received your server details yet? A few mate and I got a 6 months lease out on a Killercreation server and still haven't received our IP! :/

Heads up for US PC players - Servers aren't being brought up till 10am PST. So I wouldn't bother with midnight launches.

[SMELTN]

Participating stores listed below will be opening at 12:01am.

Lines may form early at some locations - call your local participating store for details.

My store IS doing the midnight release tonight.. So I will be picking up my game at 12:01 !!!

My clan also got a server. Devil-Dogs server. I will post the server details as soon as I get them.

BTW add my soldiers name to the list: SMELTN

Not yet, they've given me tentative details but I likely won't know anything until you do. I expect to spend a lot of my time at work tomorrow screwing with whatever tools they end up giving us to admin the servers with.

Has anyone else noticed that there is an official strategy guide for this game? :rofl:

"helps you improve your multiplayer game" :rofl: :rofl:

When I first saw it I thought; "what's this?? Bad Company 2 for less than $15?!" But no...just a guide.

My soldier name is f3llyn if anyone cares to add a nooby guy from the US.

Ok, am i missing smth or is there indeed still no preload option on steam? :o

They make guides for pretty much every big release these days dude. People must actually buy them

Any members from the EU buying a server with permanent Hardcore mode?

What many who are crying have clearly failed to comprehend this entire time is I said no discussion about the SP the day it was leaked. So I therefore said no discussion about the SP game until the release date. This for whatever reason made members cry and moan about how unfair life is here on Neowin and how other forums allow it etc. Even though this is how it has always been here. Some of you went on and on without even acknowledging or recognizing the fact that I indeed left some posts on here from other places that referenced the SP game (oh look, the posts from the EA forums are still here and not deleted). All I ever meant was no discussion would be allowed about the leaked version. And as far as I could tell, no one, and I mean NO ONE, had a legit version yet.

Yes, when it has been widely known that the street date has been broken, we allow discussion on the game. We have always done that and will continue to do that. But instead of just letting it go, accepting the same rules that have ALWAYS BEEN IN PLACE, you all had to just keep going on and on and on about it. When if you just let it be, it would have died down and things would have proceeded on as normal.

All you have to do is accept the fact you could not talk about the damn leaked version of the game, and yes that does include linking to other forums if they are discussing it, no matter where those forums may be. That is literally all. It honestly is such a small and stupid thing in the grand scheme of things. Instead people had to carry on and on and on and on.

So thanks.

Lucky sod :( If I wasn't getting such an awesome price from Amazon I would so switch to Game/Shopto.

Great suggestion, I have however never done a PDF file before, how do I go about that? - I also need something I can update quickly through Dropbox, for an example.

Can't be bothered jumping through hoops and obstacles every time I need to add a name.

[trag3dy]

Can't do a text file, or a google doc maybe? That way people can add their own name if I'm not mistaken?

You can export Word documents as PDF (I think, I know you can in Pages).
