I hope t20 is there to lead development.

10 year old salt? Never let it be said that you let a grudge get off easily.

What about 64bit IE?

$0.02: If your game is lacking in enough gunfights, you shouldn't then sell that at a DLC practically right after the game comes out

I'll get the credit card then.

$6 grand? That doesn't seem like much for throwing a professional match...

Is the DRM in the beta? I really wanted to buy and play this game till they announced that. (Still do, but won't)

I want it, but I won't get it. Maybe a friend will get it on the 360 and I can borrow it.

I sure wish Microsoft could think of stuff like the Natal.

I was trying to find a review of MAG anywhere, but there doesn't seem to be a single one... Are they holding all reviews till people start reviewing retail copies?

Every time that I end up as the host, everyone shouts at me to quit.

Obviously IWNet works far better than just having a reliable dedicated host, so it's been a great idea to reinvent the wheel and then throw out the original design.

I was in a server where there was a helicoper overhead, aimbotting at everyone that spawned. I can't see that happening in dedicated armies.

It can totally burn if the online MP for the PC dries up in the first few weeks.

I remember discovering a portal hub at the bottom of a dungeon during beta (after waiting a few levels so that I'd survive the drop).

Still the best moment of exploration I've ever had in a game...

They should at least have the dignity to let the game come out and deal with any bugs before announcing paid DLC.

Is this going to be on steam? Being able to guy it through steam turns this from a "very tempted" to "instant buy" for me.

Hmm. Convenient XX42 date, or cynical play off the Battlefield branding?

I'm starting to feel vaguely offended when games that I'm passingly interested in aren't on steam.

I bought it reduced for the 360 (not second hand), mostly because I really want them to make a sequel for a game with a concept as cool as this.

Replayability is pretty terrible (really? a parkour game [about freedom of movement] where I can't make my own races or anything?) and a few of those single player levels have fiendishly bad level design where you're being shot and have no idea where to go. On the other hand, I enjoyed most of the game a lot. The least enjoyable bits always seemed to coincide with bits where you were almost forced to brave the fighting system.

800 points for more Time Trial maps is a complete no-sale for me though. It seems like DICE are completely misunderstanding how people's (or just my) perception of the value of a short single player game with rudimentary multiplayer is changing (imo). Save $10 a few times and you can buy L4D on Steam, which is almost infinitely more replayable and fun to play with friends... or more songs for rockband.

PS. stop requiring an email address and EA account for frikkin time trials, when I have an XBLA account and that should be plenty. I found that really annoying, and it almost stopped me trying that feature completely.

You can't bemoan the fact that people make $30 million+ games on one hand, and not care that WoG made more than a satisfactory return on investment when they're one developer that doesn't.

If you want people to make more good games that aren't $30 million 'blockbusters', then there has to be an economic incentive for people to do so, and breaking even isn't it.

I'm all for smaller, cheaper, games with high production quality, but that means that companies making games like that need to see a good profit, which means people need to stop pirating the shit out of them and pay them for their effort, especially when they do all the "right" things.

So 2DBoy don't deserve a profit?
