Blimey. I got in about 290 hours total and thought I played it a lot!

Quick question, If I preorder through the EA download service will I be able to download it before the release date so I can get going as soon as it's released or will the download not be online till the release date (I have a not very vast connection)

RavenXXX2 · 8 Aug 2011 at 15:49

You can pre-download it before release.

Thanks for the quick reply, Can't wait for BF3, BF2 probably ruined my education but it got me into gaming

Okay, purchased a GTX 580 today for £265, as well as a M4 128Gb SSD for £140.................Now I just need the rest of the PC as I'm sure my Celeron D will hold me back.

Damn I used to play 2-3 hours per night on BF2 or COD4 (more at wknds) and only 554 hours for me, wish I could put in even an 1hr per night on BC2 but alas life seems to intrude with age

so excited for this, think it might be the game to get me off wow

hopefully i will find a nice clan to play with.

Anyone run the Alpha using a GTX 460? If so, how was the performance.
