Woot! I finally managed to pop a apache with a rpg! Some guy attempted to steal ours, got in the air and I just nipped him on the tail rotor as he flew off blowing it all up. I've made my peace with the game now until it's released

lol yea I did that while they were flying it but it was easy cus they were hovering slowly around and made it easy for me. I still haven't sniped someone in a chopper while they're flying yet. Hopefully when it comes out on tuesday I can do that.

after the patch, had to go through and add a bunch of ports to get into a game...anybody else?

this is what i have now:
TCP 18181-18186
UDP 1050-1050
UDP 2418-2418
UDP 4355-4355
UDP 11050-11070
UDP 18181-18186
UDP 19009-19009
UDP 19567-19587
UDP 20867-20867

anything i don't need in there? luckily i am running a tomato fw'd router so have plenty of ports but damn, seems like quite a few.

also, seems a bit more optimization - running a 3.0GHz e2160, 4GB of ram, xp and a 512MB 4850 and run @1920x1200 on medium and the gameplay actually feels probably in the upper 20s, low 30s at the min. very playable w/ this setup which i thought would be extremely tight even if i lowered the resolution. still wavering on this one, will probably still wait till after pc demo...probably end up stepping up to a quad (q8200-q9550) over upping the gpu atm. to bad i don't live by a microcenter....bastards won't sell to out of state.

I didn't have to mess with any ports for this game, which is rare nowadays.

Not much storyline in there anyways. Nice to see that it is going to have a real multiplayer thats pretty linear compared to battlefield's standards.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 TV Advert: YouTube

Video Quality is weak - Recorded with a camera pointed at a TV?
Looks like single-player footage to me. Jeep chase in a city environment.

Electronic Arts have released a 30 second TV advertisement for Battlefield Bad Company 2 ahead of the games release next week. The game looks to become a blockbuster after the impressive demo.

Edit: Better quality, US version of the commercial: YouTube.

Have you seen anything whether they will have singleplayer maps like they did in BF2? It was always alot of fun to just fly the helicopter around in a multiplayer-like map against the AI.

Nope, not in there. Replaced with the single player "campaign".

Hey it's Demo from the-teh.com!

So I haven't been following this game that much, but is it meant to take over from BF2?

quality

more maps is always good

but what about us steam pre-orders? how do I get my code?

As I read it, I think PC gamers get is as just an update. So, I would assume they would just release the update via Steam, as none of those copies are pirated. Probably just an official update from the company as well.

I missed out on the beta (wish I hadn't), but I am seriously considering buying this.

guess that's where the 18 map comment came from

4 maps for each play mode and then a free 2 map DLC

I really hope these maps aren't as linear as the current one for the beta. When I hear 'Battlefield' I think free roam environment...
