I hope sprints last a long time in the final game.Although not totally realistic,they are supposed to be well conditioned troops,i would hope. That brings up a question for the beta players.What did "running"feel like?I always felt like in bfbc2 i was waddling from side to side like they were...

any decent 26-32" tvs that would double as a good pc monitor?

Just to put another option out there,you could use any pc monitor and mate it with something like a Hauppauge usb tv tuner device.http://www.hauppauge.com/. I got rid of tv service a few years ago,but the only downside i saw to using one was a slight lag in channel changing,but the picture was...

Best Bluray software, and how to burn blurays

I can recomend DVDFAB-blu-ray copy to backup your blu-ray movies.Give the free trial a whirl.:) Also,DVDfab is nice for plugging in whatever burner program you use.I prefer ImgBurn(free) at 4x or so for perfect backups.

EA Download Manager

You can run it like any other game.However,I have had issues with "invalid cd key".It is an unpreservable program,meaning you have to do it all over again upon a pc format,and any mods to the program tend to screw it up.I will buy disc only for these reasons,hereafter.

Wow,i'd be mad too,but i wish someone would just record the sound for a confirmed bitch.I recently switched from an amd to nvidia card and get steamed that niether company seems to have fan power under control at boot.Not that that's the reason i switched.

Getting slammed from port 12200

Same port scans hit me awhile back on 12200.They were all china addys.It did NOT stop for a week and would've kept on.Blocked chunks of ip's,then they just switched up.I'd recommend aquiring a new ip address and a few cosmetic router changes if it really gets bothersome or worrysome.:cool:

Request to Anand for PC 3D Display comparison

It would take some legwork by the reviewer,but i think something is available.AMD has some included support in their 10.10 drivers.But it's a black hole to me if anything actually works right now.:)http://blogs.amd.com/play/2010/10/22/amd-catalyst-10-10-radeon-driver/

Well,to be fair,getting money back months later is silly.If they really wanted you to get this money which they know X % won't,they should at least digitize the whole thing and make it easy.You know darn well they could easily set that up. If you price shop against REAL stores,some will price...

My opinion is rebates are a JOKE.I don't price by rebate.They suck and you have to jump thru hoops to get that money back.I post it here because they get referenced so much on green vs. red. E-tailers need to man up and give real deals.:)

Dammit.Exactly.Is'nt this also the reason why no 1920x1200@120hz?Call me lost,but this is the exact reason i am hesitating to go to a new 120hz lcd.Lack of size at 120.This needs to happen,NOW.As well,someone like Iz3d taking hold of it for 3rd party compatibility with 3d+AMD.
