Wheres the cheapes place to buy the game digitally ? I preorded from game station in store with the £5 deposit by trading in a game worth that =P But I phoned up and they are saying its going to be £38.99 for the PC which is a total rip off so wheres the cheapest and safest place I can get it from?

Green Man Gaming is excellent. I hadn't used them before today but you can get it for just over £30 if you use the code on their main page and they'll give you a code to redeem on Origin straight away after payment.

Does anyone know if you can scope jet pilots out?

It is possible with helicopters, so I presume it's possible with jets.

Will be fine.

Why would you struggle?!

I thought my graphics card would be a bit of a bottleneck.

Well you won't be playing on Ultra but I reckon you should be able to play on High with some settings on medium/off.

Haven't got the game yet though so I'm just guessing!

Just been a server, the infamous Bumblebee was there, 52 - 1 score 2 star colonel, teleporting the whole team all over the place.

The thing is, he's been reported on the BattleLog forums for this, it's so blatant it's true, and nothing done.

Still?????
We used to have "issues" with Bumblebee on BF2, multiple GUIDs from usually the same IP range.
Also went by the following:
JanosikCZ, ruLEZ, Dr.med, madmax22, NO, To/\\/\\, G|N@|, my|1stAccOUNT, Po||y, Po||yCUMt, coo|erTYP, my|st4lK3R, $NAK3$H1T, EmilyErdbeer, PollySuXurDICK, PollyPocket, HIGH|skiller, Killervagi007, PIPI_SUXmyDICK, Po||yPocket, NoREAL|ife, sErGIo, CrASH

My copy just arrived! Yay!

Finally decided to get a preorder on Tuesday night. Ordered it just before midnight I think. Wasn't expecting it to arrive till tomorrow though. Off to install and then erm,.. wait I guess.

Might play a little after midnight but will be straight home after work tomorrow.

twist3d0n3 · 27 Oct 2011 at 16:52

tried the new CAP4's - i can run the game in eyefinity @ 80fps now \o/

although annoying glitch on the SP; i can't pick up any guns after grabbing the pistol in the opening mission on the train

:/

djshauny1 · 27 Oct 2011 at 16:53
