Battlefield: Bad Company

I signed up for the beta earlier; anyone else here getting in on that?

I am. I have my code ready for the 25th.

Looks exceptional. Will need to step up it’s game post-COD4 though.

You need to preorder it at Gamestop or be a member of IGN’s Founders Club or Insider. Or suck IGN’s cock or something.

They did have some non-Insider keys yesterday morning (I’m not Insider), but I guess they went quickly.

Yep, that’s how I got in. Hooray for checking gaming sites all the time.

Today! I got me a key, anyone else who has one let me know so we can blow up buildings together.

I’ll be downloading this tonight when I get home Alex.

Im not above begging.

If anyone has a key and isnt interested ill gladly take it!

Oh shit, it is today. I’ll check it out sometime tonight, after I get out of work. Sometime between 7 and 9 central time.

FUN.

Where is everyone?

Still keyless. Ive asked a few friends online and they either had no idea about it or didnt subscribe to any of the sites. Im sorta playing around with the idea with signing up and paying for it just to test it out. Hows the game play so far???

Going to get an article up later after some more playtime, but as it is now- it’s fast, fun, and frantic. Alliteration! The boards included are fun as shit and the sense of scale is amazing. Massive boards with all kinds of ways to go at them.

Funny, cause they didn’t seem to be focusing on the multiplayer aspect when i tried the game out a few months ago. But they definitely made a solid online game here… I haven’t even had any bugs playing yet.

(edit- Oh, and one thing I’m assuming you could do would be to pre-order the game from Gamestop/EBgames, get the code, and then cancel the pre-order.)

Yeah i thought about doing the gamestop thing. But somewhere deep down inside i feel wrong doing it. Damn me and my morals!!!

Well, you could just think that if you really like it, you’ll buy it. If that helps things… heh.

Sorry about last night. I got home later than I expected and was in a bad mood. Assuming tonight is different, I’ll be on about 10 or so.

Man I cannot fucking wait for this game.

I’ve been unlocking most of the weapons, and some are pretty fantastic- like the targeting system the sniper can use to take out tanks (with a massive dropped bomb that you control), and the landmines for the demolition units.

I had an amazing moment yesterday on the Oasis board when I turned to see a jeep crashing through some trees. The guys on board noticed me, and came flying right towards me. I had a landmine in my hand so I threw it down in front of me quickly and dove to the side, just in time to blow up the jeep and watch the flaming wreckage come hurtling past.

The game’s really full of huge moments like that, one after the other. I still can’t believe how much fun this one is.

I wasn’t a fan of this game last night. I think I was in wierd mood, but I was having lag issues. Which is weird.
