BFBC2

I'm praying EA have learned how to release a game ( ie when its ready not when the deadline arrives) and that they've learned by the fubar that is mw2, but having had issues with them in the past i'll be awaiting reviews from people before i decide to buy or not.
I've always been suspicious about this title as the original is a console only i still think the odds of this being yet another sub-standard console port are fairly high ( though i'm secretly hoping that my fears turn out to be wrong and that the game will kick ass, in which case i'll also pray my rig can handle it hehe)

Downloading my copy of the Beta as I type, will report back in due course.

All I had to do was pre-order the game off Play.com to get my Beta key, if its crap I will just cancel the pre-order and I will have got to play the game anyway.

My friend who has beta on his PS3 says its awsome and im going round his tomorrow to play, i would have beta but i pre-ordered off amazon, so no beta for me either way should be good.

Cancel that Amazon order and pre-order through Play.com mate. It is probably cheaper and you will get your beta key within 24 hours.

Ive payed the beta on my friends....and its shit hot
Also aparently you can obtain the beta another way without the code
so i shall try that
*update i cant get hold of a beta and i can only get games off amazon for complicated reasons

Not had the chance to play it yet myself, but from what I hear its pretty hot.

Good luck with that, its pretty locked down mate.

Didn't think you would find a way around it mate, and I assume the complicated reasons would be you don't have your own credit card yet.

Precisly

Well if it makes you feel any better mate, I have been playing the demo and its fecking great.

It is basically BF2 with destructible environments as far as I can see, with the same game play concept of capturing/defending strategic points on the map (can only play the Rush game mode). It runs pretty smoothly on my machine and the graphics look flawless.

More good news, and something that has brightened my day, is the fact that Dice is now working hand in hand with PBB to sort out the streaming issue. That was one major factor that was me holding me back from buying the game, so if they fix that then I will certainly be looking to pick this title up.
