Has the price from Origin always been £39.99

Any way of getting a better price ?

Buy retail?

The only thing you are really losing is the ability to preload. I have ordered it on ocuk for £35, but you can get it cheaper still from other places

Anywhere but Origin!

Knowing my luck it would come on Monday.

Got the day off on Friday so it needs to be here !!

Pighardia · 22 Oct 2011 at 00:59

I believe ocuk has guaranteed delivery on day one, most places will.

He did the voiceover of overlord in COD:MW2 too

Oh yeah! Damn I forgot that. Still, nice to see proper actors in games. Reckon it'll go that way a lot more in the future.

Aaron Pierce was nails in 24.

I am searching my memory, he didn't die did he?

I remember he was definitely in the second to last series

tbh I'm looking to the inner-city infantry maps just as much as the vehicle maps. To say cod does close combat fighting better is rubbish.

cod 4 is the masterpiece of close quarter battles. no game has mastered it as good. hopefully bf3 has this plus all the other bf traits.

if it does it will be the next big game.

Yeah....people bouncing around like tards and prone spamming, along with a knife attack that could teleport you through shots and was more effective than any gun in the game in close quarters.

I'd prefer all that **** stayed with cod thank you very much..

The COD games were a masterpiece of making bad players (see: most players) feel included and feel like special little snow flakes. Appealing to people who couldn't get two kills to rub together in CS, it's essentially waving something shiny in front of the mentally handicapped.

That was modern warfare 2

You're bitching about the wrong game. He was referring to COD4 - MW1 which had none of that.

4p · 22 Oct 2011 at 01:50

Whilst CoD4 had it's ups and downs.

This is BF3 thread

It still had the instakill knife attack, I was thinking of the commando lunge from mw 2 that could teleport a player. When I was playing cod4 there was plenty of prone spamming and hopping around going on that I can remember. Never bothered playing that long so possibly some of that coulda been patched.
