Poll: ****Official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Thread*****

[drew64]

the toggle aim, and lack of toggle crouch just make it a pain in the ass to play

Alright chaps.

Now, does anybody know the official release time and date for this game?

I need to get some snacks and a bottle of vodka ready for the action.

Gaah I've tried the DVD in three different DVD drives in this computer now, none of em work. But in my wife's laptop it works fine. Confused.

 

[Windle]

How do you add the server ips to your favorites? Doing my **** in!

Not even touched the multiplayer yet, been gunning at the singleplayer all afternoon! Very impressed that I've got it all on high DX10, and no slowdowns or issues! As a bonus, the graphics are bloody good.

Tbh, it just feels like a proper PC shooter to me, which is about time!

Don't get your hopes up about getting to a game. The servers are screwed so any attempt to join a game usually times out.

Paid for the extra special delivery option from Game (+£5!) and it still didn't arrive today! **sigh**

Website says:

04/03/2010 Your order has been dispatched.
02/03/2010 Your order is currently being picked and packed.
02/03/2010 Your credit/ debit card has been authorised and your order is now being released for packing.
Funds will not be debited until your order is shipped.
01/03/2010 Your order is waiting for authorisation and release for packing.
23/02/2010 Your order is currently held as a Preorder

I learned from this mistake a while ago, you can't complain either because it will arrive tommorow which is release day.

See what GAME have to do for pre-orders is get your order to your address either on release date (preferable or the day before) if it's any later then it's not what they promised, so they make sure this happens by sending off normal delivery (2days) on the wednesday and express (1day) the day before in this case thursday AND if they have high demand which for bad company they do, they may even send the free deliveries out on the tuesday which happened with mine . So always go for the free option as express is pointless on pre-orders unless there's a strike or something, lesson learnt

 

[PapaLazaru]

Good point. I cannot get tomorrow off work now either. Got my laptop should have had a 'work from home' day. Got no snacks or supplies either.

Tomorrow eve it is!

You're having exactly the same problem as me - no code anywhere to be found

I had the same problem i phoned EA support and they sent me an email with the serial key. number was 08702432435 shuts at 9pm i think so hurry.

 

[Bald-Eagle22]

Guys , If I have Pre Loaded on Steam will it unlock at 00:01 Tomorrow Morning ?

 

[Touchstone]

um is anyone getting the error connection to the game server has been lost?
i cant play the game on multiplayer :S

 

[DirtyJester]

Sometimes paying for the Express delivery is a bad idea. They know it will arrive the next day, so can afford to send it on the Thursday for Friday delivery. Whereas with the free post, it can take about 2-3 days, so they post it earlier.

.. in a nutshell !

I think most people are stuggling to get on today. I couldn't join games, now I can, but I get chucked due to Punkbuster.

Yeah. Loads of us with the same problem. Dice know about it.

Yes

 

[HazardO]

I can't see any servers at all, is it my setup or are other people having this issue?

LOL tommorow nights not far away hopefully by tommorow eve all server issues will be sorted so you can have a smooth experience, it's been a bit patchy today

The thing is if there's already issues the day before release when maybe 10-20% have their copies of BC2 from the UK what will happen tommorow and over the weekend I think it might explode, it happened with the original >.<
