Yup I played BF2 on 50K until the 1.3 patch (I think) reared it head!

Pre-Ordered last nite, The Devs haven't let me down yet, so hears hoping they carry on making good interesting games.

Pre-order through steam allows you to download it straight away, or at least it did for me..

For $11.45 I've taken a risk on it, it works out to around £7 so no more than a couple or three pints

Can you play it or is it just preload?

decmatt · 28 Sep 2006 at 20:36

Just pre-ordered and pre-loaded, wanted this for a while but this thread reminded me to pre-order so I can save the $5

Roll on tomorrow

If you order it and download from developers, will it 'add' to steam anyway?

It was a "No" the last time I checked at the Defcon forums.

Metalface Mark · 29 Sep 2006 at 08:44

Its the 29th, when time of day does pre load stuff usually let you play?

Loki · 29 Sep 2006 at 08:50

I think Introversion are letting it rip around 18:00 today on their network. Not sure about steam though

Magic_x_uk · 29 Sep 2006 at 08:52

It is 6pm GMT that the game goes active, YOU cannot play before then. 6pm today is the time it all starts.

Loki · 29 Sep 2006 at 09:01

I cant get on Introversions site from work :confused:

Is that the time it is available for download. If you get it from them will it be added to your steam games or will it be a seperate entity

These looks like a really cheap/poorly executed attempt at creating an Uplink type game tbh.

Loki · 29 Sep 2006 at 09:34

How can a game about a Thermonucelar war simulation be likened to a game about hacking :confused:

How can it be that when its the same team who already made Uplink? Its not like they are copying themsleves.
