hah EA Store 1 - Steam 0

Guys help me out here with the term in law i'm looking for:

Isn't there a term in business when you saturate the market or give an un-fair advantage over competitors?

Didn't microsoft get sued for it?

Isn't this what EA are doing now? i mean look how many of you are cancelling your pre-orders with steam etc?

Anti-competitive behaviour. Where you use leverage in one market to gain an advantage in another. I suppose this might qualify, although there's probably some legal reason why it wouldn't.

 

[twoodster]

Doing it now.

Nice one - cheers

FOV Comparison

(All taken from the same position looking at the same spot)

55 (default)

65

75

85

95

200

 

[Revolution6000]

Is 85 the limit?

Just a quick question about the FOV, we know it can be changed but will it be considered a cheat by Punkbuster or the likes ?

Nope, it's something DICE have added and there is a limit to what you can set it to.

 

[.Griff.]

Is 85 the limit?

Nope but anything above that felt really weird for me.

nope that changed years ago, all games can be re-downloaded just like in steam..

Is 85 the limit?

Good Good, I always played Tribes 2 with 120 FOV but will probably use 95 for BC2

 

[gazzamcg]

Nice comparison there Griff.

Shame on DICE in this day and age to leave it at 55 prior to release .....

----Edit-----

Forgot to ask what are the other MP maps like.

 

[Revolution6000]

Set it to something like 150 and see how it looks

 

[Clairvoyant]

just had 90 and I felt quiet funny, all dizzy like.

Is that without alcohol/drug intoxication ?

 

[Clairvoyant]

Is that without alcohol/drug intoxication ?

Yes

 

[FrenchTart]

Yes

Yeah, incorrect FOV settings can really give you headaches/motion sickness.

Lots of people (myself included) get horrible motion sickness when playing at less than 90 fov.

 

[Gerard]

Those fov changes look...weird to say the least. Why is the gun not being affected? One of the biggest complaints was the fov looked weird becuase of the size of the gun on screen, you;d think with a wider fov you would be able to see more to the right hand side of the gun.

 

[~>Dg<~]

yeah i noticed the gun doesnt seem to either get smaller or stretch still looks like a log

 

[MoRT489]

anyone know what FOV should be used at 5040x1050?

 

[.Griff.]

Added 200 which is the maximum as far as I know.

 

[twoodster]

85 looks about right for me. Cheers for the comparisons Griff
