looks like around $310 on newegg. Glad I'm waiting until right before this game drops to upgrade.

You know it. This GTX 260 is still a monster for me, so I am OK for now. Just wanting to upgrade to the 5850 or comparable NVidia around the time this game drops.looks like around $310 on newegg.

Are the tech specs on the game that much higher than MW2? I run MW2 fine with my Core i720 and HD 4870.

they released specs a few weeks ago i believe. check over at totalbf2 or planetbattlefield. pretty sure theyre listed.From what i've seen, the frostbite engine will be more taxing than the MW2 engine. (if for no other reason than the destructible environments).

I'm running the 5850 in my new machine and it is excellent. I've had some lag problems in a few games but I've pinpointed it to my ISP. I'm getting about half the speed I'm supposed to get through cablevision. That could be a problem when grouping with my boys from Salt Lake, Alabama and Florida.You know it.

I just had an awesome game last night. We were defending the last check point on the beta map. the last 2 crates are in a construction site in a half finished building. One crate is on the 1st floor and one is on the 2nd floor. The opposing team was just flooding the site (our whole front line had broken down because they destroyed all the decent cover). Their tank was blasting us from across the site and infantry was storming up the staircase and the ladders. our 2 squads held them off for like 85 tickets and won the game. It was awesome. Were were mowing them down 4 or 5 at a time.
Seriously guys, you are gonna love this game. We will dominate as a full squad in constant communication.

LHUCKS is such a massive ****. He trolls like crazy, but you call him a jackass and he hammers the report button like, well, you know, himself on a Friday night.

I ignore 98% of his crap, but sometimes you have to call a jackass on his jackassery. Is it confirmed he is a fishing alias? I have a hard time believing anyone could or would intentionally try to be like he is.how is that BF related? Just looking for some place the mods wont read it? And by the way, you should just ignore it. LHUCKS is a shared moderator alias designed to fish unsuspecting posters.less than 2 months until BC2

nobody will confirm my theory. I sent a mod that i know in real life a facebook message and was laughed off. It was neither confirmed or denied.For me, its a no brainer. We've been told on numerous occasions that blatant fishing will not be tolerated. "He's" been doing it for years. "He" made a bet with a mod (the infamous "Memphis is overrated" thread) and welched on it for like 9 months. During that time, "he" continued to post his nonsense and the mods did nothing.There is absolutely no chance that LHUCKS is a real person. None. Its a piece of genius created by the mods (i suspect Aaron is the mastermind) to weed out people with short fuses.I ignore 98% of his crap, but sometimes you have to call a jackass on his jackassery.

I hardly fall in the category of short fuses or problem children here at FBG, and I have twice gotten a TO for very minor name calling. If there is a mod getting his jollies handing out TO's for stupid stuff like this, then something needs to change or I need to move on. Utterly ridiculous.nobody will confirm my theory.

well, LHUCKS has been allowed to fish here for 5 years. They claim he's gotten multiple suspensions.
I've gotten 2 suspensions. One for calling Hillary Clinton a female dog, the other for typing the word "blow" as part of a Chris Rock quote. I'm pretty sure both were from Joe himself.
The mods have short tolerances for certain people and will ban them for anything (basically, most of the population of :e
. LHUCKS, who brings more negativity to this forum than all other posters combined (maybe excluding the extreme nut jobs on both sides of the political threads) gets to keep posting.
If LHUCKS is a real person, I'm guessing his last name is Bryant or Dodds.

Joe responded. I responded in kind. If I am not here for a little while, then so be it. The aiding and abetting needs to stop, IMO.

I looked for it in the Lock of the year thread, but didn't see what you did (or what he did).

Till the 7th.ETA My post got nuked. It lasted a few hours. Still think it is ridiculous they let him run free, but whatever. I don't pay the bills.

This is really confusing the crap outta me.Anyway, I think me Shawn, Cow, and Baron all have Rainbow 6 Vegas 2. You can pick it up from Steam cheap. Have no idea what the gameplay is like but I used to like the old Clancy games.

as somone who played the beta quite a bit, its not really the same. The battlefield is so much more dynamic (destruction plus lots of diferent elevations) and the lower player count cuts down on chokepoints (there are "lines" in the battle, but they are obviously thinner). I havent played a map with choppers yet, and they do worry me with the low player count.Its an awesome game though. We're gonna have a ton of fun with it. with the smaller player count (32 on PC) and the rush mode game play, a single cooderinated squad will be able to really dominate.But yeah, i'm guessing conquest will still be similar. I really hope they don't make too many fully destructible cover around the flags. It would make defense very dificult.Yea, after watching the BC:2 vid had to reserve my limited edition copy. BF2 is still one of my favorite games of all time, and so far it looks like BC2 took that model and improved on EVERY aspect of it.

I purchased at Gamestop. So I guess this means I can't play the beta?

I guess I agree. This game will be here for years. I can wait another month. My wife and I are going away at least one weekend in February anyway.

plus, i'm sure it will be the same map, which i've already played to death (its good though).If the Beta was a diferent map and/or diferent game mode, i'd be in for sure.I'll probably upgrade my PC in late february right before release. I'm thinking a new vid card and possibly an SSD.
