Do you think I should play CS Source for the time being?

I am afraid of losing the familiarity with BF3 gameplay/weapons gained in beta if I do play CS Source

If i remember rightly, didn't we get Battlefield 2 a few days before the Americans? I remember the clan i was with at the time had some Americans in that were whining they had to wait a few days for the release over there.

I still don't understand different release dates for different regions.

If the game was released at the same time around the whole world, would Dice lose control of their servers i.e. servers crashing ?

I also would like to know this?

Could it be something to do with licensing agreements, fair competition for other retailers etc.?

Funny thing is MW3 has a world wide release date, ive no real idea what the difficulty is on setting one up though.

Sounds feasible...could be spot on there.

Can i ask if anybody knows why i have to wait for my physical copy to be sent out (i am told it will be posted on the 27th by 1st class post). But, if you bought the download version you can download it days before the release date. All i am doing is installing the files from a disk instead of downloading the files via the internet. I will still have to register the game on origin which won't let me play it before the 28th so why can't stores send it out now which will stop people from recieving the game late?

I think few days after uk release, we can finally breath a sigh of relief, that FINALLY the full game is here

No more worrying about release dates, pre-orders, retail cds coming on time or not, etc (well hopefully)

kingy666 · 22 Oct 2011 at 22:54

I think my postmans sack will be bulging come Friday.

No more worries about:
release dates + Pre-orders + retail cds.

Worry about:
SLI/CrossFire configurations, memory, HD Ultra graphics, FPS, sound cards, monitors, beers, junk food, will it work, work better, ****ed off partners, No sex lives, ultimatums, homeless...
