I won't!! What I'm getting at is that it isn't much of a limited edition if all pre-orders are being converted to it. Doesn't seem very limited to me...

Well "limited" hasnt been used correctly in the last 10 years of game editions so this will be no different :D
 
Spent a few more hours playing it. One question: How do you open a parachute?

I was UAV'ing it up spotting enemies for my team until the defenders got to the helicopter base where a guy would jump out and parachute behind the UAV station and kill me! I'm going to use that technique if I can't shoot down enemy UAVs.

"A" or "X" for parachute.
 
I wonder if they'll give it less damage as it only took like 3 shots to kill someone with the M1 - that would be really really unbalanced adding it into BC2 when it kills someone so fast!

In my experience dice are pretty good when it comes to balance. I'm sure appropriate tweaks will be made.
 
I'm not sure it will be an achievement most will want to repeat - in BC1 you got 15 points taken off your score for doing it. That may have increased to 50 now.

It seems they have to be on the opposing team from doing some reading up - which means you will collect their tags.

On hardcore mode you dont collect tags for TK'ing so it cant be gained though knifing them when they're on your team.

Dice would never hear the end of it if they added a TK achievement, glad it isnt. :)
 
Ive had a preorder with a certain online retailer for a while now, shall we call 'retail outlet 2 dot net', they have yet to confirm its the Limited Edition though.

The UK's largest high street retailer is advertising said edition however. Im not sure whether to cancel and go with them, to make sure I receive the Limited Edition.

The current place I have my preorder with is only charging £34.85 as opposed to £39.99 with the other retailer however.

I cant imagine the publisher only supplying one retailer with Limited Edition copies and no one else though, surely?

Might just stick with where Im at.

The rainforest site is offering a free ak74 upgrade, though they have cocked up and listed it as an ak47. I can pass on that, as its not my favourite class anyway, I'll soon unlock it in time.

I believe Dice have said that all pre-orders will be LE. I dont think you'll see a non LE until a few months after.

Not long now :D Wonder if my pre order will turn up early, this is the first game I have ever pre ordered online before :D

edit: actually, I might play through the first tonight, been meaning to complete it on hard for a while, it's so easy so may as well :D

If its from a dedicated games e-tailer then you have an extremely high chance of getting it a day early.
 
It's from the purple nurple :)

Can't wait either way, those SP vids a few posts back look beyond brilliant.

You'll defo get it a day early then....well everything I've ordered from them in the last five years I've got at least a day early. For some reason dice posted recently that the release date had moved forward a day for Europe to the 4th as well. I dont know if there's any true in that though
 
They're talking about weather or not it will be cheap i.e £25 as supermarkets have done that with a few high profile games recently....dont think anyone's doubting that it will be on sale in supermarkets.
 
Anyone had any experience preordering with amazon? Ive preordered from Amazon with first class delivery but it says delivery estimate 8th of march, will it be this late or is that what they always say? It will go to Glasgow not prague...

mine says the same. Don't know why it says that but knowing amazon I wouldn't be surprised if it arrives late.
