Is it true that you HAVE to unlock flares? Oh my... well that's going to ruin my K/D whilst every Tom, Dick and Harry shoots me down with their heat seaking missiles & stingers, and using the jet's machine gun to get kills, having to fly a meter above the ground in an attempt to put them off.

well thats just great, by the time i get my phsyical copy people would have unlocked super weapons with barely any recoil, some super 100x scope and other unlocks whist i'll be trying to kill people with a crappy ak pulled out of a bin, which hasnt been used in 10+ years and could barely cause damage to a hamster o.o
no im not bitter
LOL, won't be that bad. Hell I only started bc2 on PC 6 months ago. I coped just fine and now have all the unlocks.

Just playing SP for the moment, not sure why, but I don't really want to risk MP, just in case...
I have to say, the production values and polish on this are astounding. The sound is without doubt the best I've ever heard on my PC.
I'm running a 2500k stock, 5850 stock, 8gb 1600mhz corsair vengeance, Xfi Titanium Fatility, Windows 7 fresh install. Settings are 1680x1050, all ultra, apart from no normal AA, low post AA, SSAO, and no vsync. It runs perfectly with no slowdowns at all and the graphics are excellent, beautiful in many places.
The SP atmosphere is amazing. It just 'feels' spot on. The earthquake mission teaser video that looked so awesome - it's frigging amazing!
When you shoot NPCs who are running the ragdoll/animations effect is amazing when they drop, I can't get over how real some of the animations look. It's like something out of Black Hawk Down (the film, not the rubbish PC game!).
There are some poor textures, which are noticeable, but it's hardly a problem as the lighting is perfect. So far the SP is probably the best war-based SP I've played.
I reckon it feels a bit like a combination of the shooters below:
40% COD MW/MW2/BO
25% GRAW1/2
20% BC2
10% MOH 2010
2.5% OFP1
2.5% Crysis
I have never before seen a game engine where your bullet hole decals reflect light differently around the pitted/dented hole area. Just try this on the first train level - shoot the metal surfaces inside the train and you'll see the tunnel lights reflect off the decals...

Wouldn't that make any success against such people all the more satisfying?
Then pick up their "superior" weapon and kill them again, only this time with their gun.
Good luck staying alive long enough to see the same person again in such a short sapce of time but hey, you never know

i dunno my experience was quite different from yours, i started bc2 quite late into the game too, and i was constantly getting my behind handed to be until i added bf2 to my account and got veteran status and the m1 garrand. Then i actually started to get some levels up quicker and unlock the nice stuff
Ahh well, guess i gotta hope the rainforrest post my game off early as it seems it's been released now, would be nice for ea/dice to actually make an offical announcement

on the order page for GMG now, not sure wether to order it now though as i've had big troubles with CJS cd keys, and finally got a refund from them which take a couple of days to go into my account, but they have only refunded me the £23.99 for the standard edition but i paid the extra £7.50 via moneybookers, if i contact them can they chargeback it?
Edit, got the code straight away from GMG, easy as that, i advise, DO NOT USE CJS CD KEYS. EVER!

Completed single player and played a good few rounds off MP. Overall I like it. It needs some tweaks and the single player is a good way to get a feel for it but its basically a long tutorial.
I'd still be playing if it didn't have an important meeting tomorrow
