Did you even read? I said I watched the guy run then proceeded to jump around a corner while opening fire and killing some one, Which to me is stupid..

Where did i say nerf jumping, or anything to resemble that?

Where did i say anything about jumping is like dolphin diving?

I said running around a corner, jumping while shooting is the new dolphin diving..

Btw are you sure 6 months from now it will even be $30? Bad Company 2 is around the $20+ mark with the GOTY edition being $35. And it has been out for almost nearly 2 years. Some games do go down in price fast but certain ones (typically the popular ones) dont, and i dont think BF3 will get to $30, not even $40 after just 6 months.

No definitely can't be sure but the big wave of initial sales will easily have ended by that time so I imagine so.

Bad Company 2 may be $20-35 in stores and online right now but I got the GOTY edition off Steam for $5.75 on one of their big sales earlier in the year.

I love the hyperbole here. "World" of frustration and sadness?? Lulz.

You make it sound as though 2012 is like ten months away. I already see Christmas shit going up in the stores. And who pays full price for games anymore nowadays? Oh that's right...suckers.

I'll just wait until March, save $30+ on BF3, and actually have options with regards to GPUs.

options?

dual 5870's....
6950 xfire
6970

I got some options too!!

Oh ya, thats true, i got it on PC during that steam sale for that price too, but i first off dont really think of steam sales as "the game in x Months will cost" cause they only have like 2 sales a year, and secondly with BF3 not even being on steam, who knows if it ever will, hence it wouldnt be in a steam sale.

So how stable are these preview AMD Drivers? I have only ever downloaded the official final version Drivers. But i bet there will be a performance boost between my current driver and the preview driver made for BF3.
 
NathanP2007 said:
Its up now.

Do i have to do anything different? Or do i just install it like i have installed previous final build drivers in the past? AKA let the driver do the uninstalling of current driver on system.

Cant really argue against you waiting and saving money, but what i think people forget is those 6 months of play time are WORTH the $30 more i paid (technically more like $15 more cause i got 25% off). Like the whiners about Team Fortress 2 going free to play saying "I would have just waited if i knew id get it free!". But its like...you bought it for like $15 or w/e or got it with the Orange Box...and have gotten like 4 years of play time out of it...i think thats worth having not played it for 4 years and waiting till its free.

seriously, I got 350 hours out of bc2. three hundred fifty hours of time that would have been spent either A: being bored waiting to go to work, or B: spending money elsewhere while waiting to go to work.

bc2 (and many other games over the last 15 years) was the ultimate time gap filler for me. 60 bucks went towards that? thats well fucking spent dollars.

I spend 80 dollars on sushi alone, haha.

Yeah I'm a bit disappointed in the arcade-shooter like look an feel (so far). IMO the absence of the commander role just takes so much of the tactical aspect of the game away. Something so cool about knowing the commander is the most senior player who accepted the role and having a directive to follow, even if it's not a great commander they are still likely to send you to where the points are, either in captures or frags.

What you just said sounds great. Playing BF2, that is not the case though.

Rarely were squads listening to the commander.

Rarely was the commander actually commanding.

Rarest was a commander commanding and at least 3 squads listening to the commander.

Yup.. I paid $50 for BFBC2 on the pre-order ages ago, money well spent... I've played it over 450-500 hours. Sure I could get it for $15 now, but the $35 difference would not have been worth having not gotten to play it for the past year and a half+. Opportunity cost is a concept beyond many people's grasp nowadays.
 
491 hours on BC2 for me, I love how we've all played similar amounts. Easily worth the full game price for a BF release.
 
Have any of you that bought it off of orgin for the beta received keys yet?
 
No key yet, I'd be insanely pissed if I didn't get one. Preordered last week, veteran level 8. (or 9, according to BFBC2, lol?)
 
w00t, people who bought MoH on Steam before July 26th are getting early access keys via Steam tomorrow!
