Seriously tempted to order of Tesco. The 6 weeks thing is kinda putting me off if true...

Yeah it would put me off as well. My advise would be to sit tight though and wait for someone else to offer something similar. If its not a mistake then someone will follow suit.

Also my experience with Tesco ordering and getting money refunded has been terrible, no way I'd order from them again. They mispriced something which I bought and it took them 5 weeks to get the money back to me and I kept on having to phone them.
 
Even from Tesco, just the standard edition? Do they send you a code via email or does it come with it?

Dice have said that there will be no standard editions. Its just LE from all the sellers according to their twitter. The standard edition will probably come in a couple of months. The LE is just a standard game box with a code added.
 
Theres a forum post over at ShopTo where someone has confirmed ShopTo's customer service have stated they will only be receiving standard copies, not the limited editions. This is despite other confirmations of all copies being the LE editions.

Im not taking the risk - Ive cancelled with ShopTo and placed my pre-order with Gameplay. ShopTo have apparently stated its only Gameplay and Game offering the LE edition.

For the sake of a few quid, Id rather know I'll be receiving the LE edition for sure.

Fair enough. Bare in mind though that its just a handful of unlocks all of which can just be gained through playing.
 
Seems some US stores have started selling this already and there's mention of EU store/s already doing the same. Any UK place breaking I'm sure we'd hear about it in a matter of minutes.
 
Wonder if I can go into town and blag an early copy... I know some of the stores got theirs early in stock, and some of the staff aren't very bright. A while back, I managed to blag MGS4 two days early because I acted like it was release day and the staff was convinced.

LOL awesome.
 
That is excellent news, that is my major problem with the likes of Call of Duty MW2, on normal modes it just takes too much ammo to kill someone, I now play nothing else but hardcore which is SO much more fun.

With 25% less ammo needed to drop a guy on this game now, its just getting better and better, and only 1 week to go :D

Can't wait!

Well that's just on core. On hardcore on this game damage will be double :)
 
IGN REVIEW

Here!

Those looking at Bad Company 2 as only a single-player game might come away disappointed. It's an action packed, gorgeous, and explosive game but it doesn't quite come together into a campaign for the ages. It more feels like an added bonus to the multiplayer game and for those in search of that, this is a great choice. Bad Company 2 as an online shooter is flexible and engaging, offering several features that the competition can only dream of. If you're looking for a more strategic and team-based change of pace, look no further. This is the game for you.

8.9
