Was that a joke or were you being serious? I honestly can't tell and haven't been following this game very much. However, being able to buy unlocks completely defeats the point of working towards them and favours the people that are more willing to splash out money.
I don't think you've played the game. Field upgrades are temporary unlocks you get when your squad is doing well. They only last until the end of the match in that server. What he means by "unlock permanently" is that, if you buy the booster pack you will be able to unlock the packs like you would any other pack, and keep it from match to match, like a normal unlock. He doesn't mean you automatically unlock every pack instantly if you buy the booster pack.

What's with all the negativity from people who haven't even played the game?
I'll be the first to admit that EA/Dice's support for BF2 was pretty horrible, but as of right now BF2142 is excellent. It's very stable (at least on mine and my friends machines). Infantry combat rocks. And there are very few glitches in the game that I've noticed, and I've logged almost 70 hours of play time in so far.

Not surprising. That's what happens when one developer makes a successful game then everyone and their mother jumps on the bandwagon with hundreds of shitty MMO's.

I really enjoyed Quake 4... the single player anyway. The multiplayer just didn't cut it for me. Standard deathmatch?... no thanks. I was always an Unreal Tourny fan back in the Q3 days, so I have no love for Q4's multiplayer.

I think it's single player game was much better than Doom 3 and a bit better than what I've played of Prey so far too.
I don't require every one of the games I play to blow me away. If I have fun, thats good enough for me.

I had more fun playing though Q4 than a lot of FPS's I've played (FarCry included).

Yes, but you're not actually watching television, and the difference lies therein the actual participation of the player.

Anyone who think a "mindless game" is really mindless is only fooling themselves. The very act of letting go from reality for a given time relies on the intention of actually doing such.
I can play many games in a mindless manner. Once you play a simple repetative game enough you don't have to even think about it... I'd say that's mindless.
Are you telling me that driving a car isn't mindless because it "relies on the intention of actually doing such"?... because that can be said about anything.
The act of driving a car becomes sub-concious once you do it enough (assuming you're on familiar ground, and often when you're not). The same can be said about playing games. I can play many games while carrying on a convorsation with some one and not miss a beat in game... I'd call that mindless (the online FPS's I play come to mind, along with most rythem games I play).

There are very few gaming genre's that aren't mindless, if you ask me.
Calling a game mindless isn't always an insult. I for one enjoy "mindless" games. They are a nice way to relax. (Of course a good thinker is nice every once in a while too).

I tried a trial a little while back and it quickly put any curiousity I had about the game to rest and let me move on with my gaming life.

Completely forgetable game.

I really like Red Orchestra, but the retail game has already shared the same fate as the mod did. There are about 13 servers at any given time with people actually playing in them, with hundreds of empty servers.

The game just can't hold players. A shame, really.

Who the hell wrote that news? Am I the only one having trouble reading it?

"The story stops short of hitting the panic button over the future of the PC side of the franchise, however, granting that it is still likely that the next full game in the series (presumably CoD3) will likely be developed by Infinity Ward to follow for consoles and PCs, which is in line with recent rumors on the topic"

That seriously makes no sense to me.
It's likely that it will be likely developed by IW?

I'm sorry, but some one was drunk while posting that.

I'm glad so many games are coming to Steam. I honeslty think Steam has come a long way and developed into a very good platform for game distribution. I hope more games keep coming too it.

Too bad I played this game a few months ago and it kind of sucks. But still, the more games the merrier.

"It's funny how any MMO, no matter how shitty, has at least a few fanboys trying to make it sound good... do you get paid per post?"

Wow. All he did was clear up some confusion about the ads... and he's a fanboy?
Amazing.

The game looked interesting to me because it's something different in the MMO world. It's not another medival setting and that fact alone had me interested when it was first anounced.

I did get into the beta but never actually bothered to download/PLAY the beta, haha.
I would still like to try the game, just to see how it turned out. I didn't hear good things durring the beta, which is part of the reason I kind of changed my mind once I was accepted into it.
Oh well.

I'll wait for the 7 day trial that will innevitably happen at some point. I just can't jump into an MMO without trying it first.

At least with a normal game, once you buy it you have as long as you'd like to "get to like it" if you don't enjoy it immediately... with an MMO, once you sign up, if it doesn't lure you in within the first 30 days then you've either got a coaster or you've got to continue paying just to see if you'll end up liking the game. Bah.

"btw developers, just bcus you can bloom the whole screen, does'nt mean you should do it. Im personally sick of playing games these days that have the soft focus romantic smeared lense look."

I assume you're talking about RO... but I wasn't aware that the game even had bloom... I can't see it in the screenshots of videos I've watched, so if it IS there it's definitely not overdone.
And for the games that DO have bloom... as far as PC games go, I've never seen one that MADE you keep the option on. So I see no need for your complaints. Don't like bloom in a PC game? Turn it off. Simple as that.
Unless unchecking a box in an options menu is too difficult for you.

Actually, Yakumo, that's how many StarForce protected games have been cracked. They use the executable from the unprotected demo's to make a no-cd crack for the StarForce protected game.
That's the only time you'll actually see a true crack for a StarForce protected game.
So it does make sense for them to put the protection on a demo, in that respect.
But then... StarForce shoudln't be used at all... for demo's or full games, if you ask me.

And actually, the friends list did work at one point. It worked VERY well in the Steam Beta (which was free to everyone) and it worked for a short time once Steam went "gold"... for a few months, but it progressively got worse as time went on.

The friends list is handy for joining the same game that a friend is in, that's all I used it for. I miss it and I'm not enjoying the beta friends list, which seems to be working well. I don't use Xfire, so I can't way whether it's "better" or not... seems like the same thing only it would be one more app running in the background while I game. I'd rather just use the built in friend's list in that case.

You used to be able to play board games via the friends list as well. It had checkers, chess, and a couple others I think. Which was nice between rounds of CS.

Yeah. Buy our 800 dollar processor and we'll GIVE YOU a 60 dollar motherboard! What a deal!

Or buy a dual core processor and mobo for half that.

"But according to some replies my ram and processor are just fine, I suppose I should just get a new mobo with PCI-Express and a new video card... But that's expensive"

Well here's why I said to just get a new AGP videocard...
You're not going to be able to USE your old CPU if you buy a PCI-E motherboard. They don't make socket 745 PCI-E mobo's, you'd have to get a socket 939 mobo if you want PCI-E... which means a new processor too... Now we're talking expensive when you don't NEED to spend all that money. You have a perfectly good CPU and plenty of ram (I wasn't saying he should buy another 512mb, by the way, I was saying he could, later down the road, if needed).

I'd personally just go for an AGP card unless you're planning on a HUGE upgrade. There's no point in going to PCI-E if you're just going to rebuy a similar CPU to the one you have and the same amount of ram.

What videocard would you get if you went to PCI-E? Just curious. Because if it's not at least a 7800 GTX, then the upgrade isn't worth it. And as you know... those are still rather expnesive.

If I were you I'd get a 6800 Ultra and use that for the next year or two then do a large upgrade (Ram, CPU, Mobo, GPU, everything) at that point, once things are significantly faster than what you have.

Trust me. I upgraded from a A64 3200+ (same one you have) to a 3700+ and barely notice a difference in gaming... and I mean BARELY... maybe 5 FPS difference?
It's not worth upgrading from what you have for that extra 10 FPS. Not worth the 1000+ dollar you'd need to spend.
Just get a new AGP card.

" Okay I need some advice...

ATI 9800xt 256MB
1.5gigs DDR400 PC3200
AMD 3200+ 64bit "

Just buy a new videocard, man. Why would you build a new machine with those specs? Your CPU and ram are quite good (well, you could always grab another 512mb of ram).
Pick up a 6800 Ultra, 7800 GS or X850 and you're all set.
I have a 6800 GT and can run everything out right now just dandy at 1280 x 1024. No need to upgrade the whole machine yet. The only thing limiting you is your video card.

You know you don't HAVE to download and install it, right?
It's a beta for a reason. Some people actually like to give a hand in improving their favorite games.
For those who don't, wait for the final release. Is it that difficult?

And there's a difference between this patch and EA's patches. This is LABELED as a beta. People know what they are getting into. EA's are labeled as final releases of the patch which means they SHOULD have been tested before hand.

I hope it's real (though it is a bit of a waste of money.. I wonder if they know they could get over a grand for it on ebay?)...
Parents don't seem to punish their little brat kids anymore.

I somehow doubt it's real though, since for the kid to be that bad he would most likely had been raised by parents who don't know how to say no. Which would lead me to believe they wouldn't suddenly open their eyes and do something this drastic. Most parents who raise spoiled kids don't understand that they are spoiling them. Then it just gets worse and worse.
