The new trailer is exactly what I've been waiting to see for months. It confirms the BF2 scale maps and demonstrates very good looking jet combat.

Pre-ordered and Origin installed. Roll on the Beta!

I wonder how many pre-orders they've had since that trailer?

This thread has got out of hand about 20% discount codes.

BUY THE GAME ON A RETAIL DISK FOR £28-£30

:confused:

I don't know but its really go my hopes high, very high. I hope pc sales are higher than the consoles, not both consoles together, can't see that happenning.

Have to agree, its just been pages and pages of discount code drama

Bring back raven to waffle about 3d spotting!

The footage in the trailer looks amazing. Praying that my retail copy arrives on release day, (ill have it booked off)

Now roll on the beta.

Neil79 · 16 Aug 2011 at 21:44

You have been duped

I had to face similar scenario but held my grounds. In the end managed to get 15 characters code with dash after 5 characters. Here is part of chat :

Trisha L.: okay I willl give you the code
Adeel Mirza: Thanks
Trisha L.: no problem
Trisha L.: coupon code: 56Y6T4XE
Trisha L.: there you go, did you have anyother questions or concerns?
Adeel Mirza: I will just check this code. So bear with me for few moments
Trisha L.: ok
Adeel Mirza: Well it's saying invalid code. I am in UK so does it matter. My brother got the 20% code and the code format is something like CV345-FG567-BVC36. Well this is example but you get the idea
Trisha L.: what are you trying to buy?

8 quid is 8 quid, the more you can save the better, or as tesco say, every little helps.

Well if thats the case why not save £2 and buy a retail disc? :confused:

A customer right is a right whether small or big :rolleyes:

If the game can be bought for cheaps with other retailers somewhere else then why does EA have problem with lower prices on it's own doorstep? Why it has to continue to charge higher premiums from the customers?

As a customer I wouldn't want to see EA having a monopoly with regards to prices on it's games and charging poor customers extra for the same title. Activision is notorious for it and EA seems to be following it.

I preordered my copy from ocuk a few weeks ago at £28.00. Guess though that some people prefer to have a digital copy, hence the demand for codes. Ill just add mine to origin and use the option to play without the disk installed.

Mainly because of the dlc farce being different for each retailer. Origin has them all + 48 early demo access. It's the one to buy tbh but is taking the **** at £39.99.

I'll spend my £8 saving on beer or something.

48 hours early beta access is worth £2 to me.
