Well I know for Bioshock 2 on steam they let you pre order the 4-pack, so if they were gonna have one I think they'd put it by now? Although since it's still so far off maybe that will come later close to the actual retail date?

And minispy is back up, yay.

That's what I meant, the game is still over a month away from release - So there is time for a 4-pack to get released, would be nice with some solid information from Valve / EA / Dice.

I'm very impressed by the changes. It looks a lot better and the hit-detection also looks vastly improved. I'm looking forward to the PC beta/ multiplayer demo in Feb.

The single player looks pretty polished especially the scripted explosions and ragdolls being thrown by explosions.

Good news, the First Strike star wars mod i'm apart of is extremely limited to what we can do because the hit detection in BF2142 is absolutely horrible. Our tracking missles only work 50% of the time, and you can only hit a TIE fighter with lasers if you are directly behind them. I know there won't be any mod tools for BC2, but there weren't any for BF2142 and we managed to mod for that.

anyone know if demo out on 4th apparently is for real and not restricted to pre-orders either ?

Quoting myself:

I'll leave the e-mail I've recieved from Game here:

Dear Customer

Ah ok cheers. So going to be public will be good to fill void playing on ps3 till then i guess till release on PC :D

What about pc demo?

Or will there be a way to play the pc beta without pre-ordering?

PC beta isn't starting till this Thursday (28th) unless that's only running for 1 week demo may not be till mid February if there is going to be one at all judging by probably size of people in beta they may not even do a public demo.

Doesn't look like it unless someone does some promotional access or something otherwise no.

I don't remember this many people being excited for the first BC but hopefully that means even more of you will be on X360/XBL and thus more fodder for me to reach top rank quicker :devil:

Little over a month to go :heart:

The game looks much better and it's also on PC which is first frostbite engine game on PC so it'll be good to give it a go. The multiplayer looks for PC users like a good step up from the aged BF2 and much superior over MW2's joke of a game. So yeah it should be the next best thing on the block for a while if all goes well.

Might have something to do with it coming to the PC. No one cares for the 360. ;)

As Spookie said, I think people are excited about the PC version. A Frostbite-powered DX11 Battlefield game. I'm sure all the BF2 junkies would be eager to try it.

I think anyone who bought Modern Warfare 2 is eager to try it! That game has left massive gaping hole for a decent MP shooter to fill. :D

Just put in my pre-order via Steam. I've been itching for a new multiplayer game to play on my PC. As much as I love TF2, I'd love to play something that actually makes my rig do a little bit of work ;).

And yeah, PC versus 360 was a no-brainer for me. I've always enjoyed FPS games more on the PC, and besides, I have a plethora of games to play on the 360 (and the list will only grow this quarter), and my PC isn't doing a whole lot right now.
