DICE saves PC gaming tbh:

DICE associate producer Barrie Tingle has revealed that at the moment, during the week of the game's retail release, more people are playing the PC version of the game than both the 360 and PS3 editions combined.

Except this:

Unfortunately they did take the post the wrong way.

During peak US hours the Xbox 360 dominates the player numbers. When that post was made it was the Europeans playing and pushed the PC numbers higher.

Also PC had higher numbers of players than Xbox 360 or PS3, not the two combined.


Makes sense since consoles are much more popular in the US. It was about noon when he made that comment about there being more PC players.
Still good enough though, would be interesting to compare the numbers with other PC MP shooters.

I can't login with 'my' account. I have a friends cd-key and his account while he's away for the weekend and I can't login even though I have verified my account info is correct. Supposedly not alone with this issue, but I don't have access to his email so I can change the password :EEEE


8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

Why can't I get the M1 Garand? I logged into Battlefield Veterans with my BC2 account, added Battlefield 2 and achieved Rank 1.

In game the Garand is unlocked in the Weapons and Gadgets menu but not in class selection.

I tried adding 2142 but it won't let me and I don't see BF: Heroes on the list.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

Hardcore is great. I prefer it most of the time.

The veteran program gives you the M1 Garand, though they're having some problems with that right now.

Theescapist, you can only use AA in DX10/11.

This "problem" is caused only if you're in a forced dx9 mode or if you're using WindowsXP.

Geez this is driving me nuts.

It's a good game, but it's almost like IW have paid them to make a server browser so bad it makes IW.Net look good.

As it currently stands I'd even take P2P over this shit anyways.

I don't see a problem at all with the browser. It never takes me over a minute to get into a game I want. With MW2 it takes atleast 10 minutes to get into a game with a decent ping.

The server browser is actually great, once you start using the cancel button. It is better than the browser in CoD4 for me. Filtering is fast enough and adding serves to favorites speeds up everything even more.

On another note, did some testing with AA. Game really benefits from high AA, at least 4xMSAA is preferable (playing at 1080p), it doesn't get rid of some jagginess completely (probably due to some heavy lighting effects), but it definitely smooths it out.

Also I still get random "connection lost" error after playing for sometime unless I use the fix that got rid of it for me. It's possible though that not all servers have been updated to the new build at this time.
Some lag is also present on many servers, so EA's master server is still under stress....

Seems to be giving me shit.

Maybe it's an Aus thing due to less servers over here, but servers are constantly full, and the browser refresh is slow slow it's impossible to see which servers have free slots unless you pick one of the almost empty obscure ones.

So you're left randomly clicking on servers until one finally lets you in.

Favorites doesn't seem to work as half the servers seem to be down most of the time.

Worked better in the beta.

Up to date player count info is one of the flaws of the browser, I agree. Refresh is only usable in favorites, since even if you use the cancel trick, it still takes enough time to be inaccurate, especially when there are 32 players per server. Fortunately it works both ways, the more players there are, the higher the chance that someone will leave.
When I am not using the favorites, trying to choose from a few full servers is how I normally do it, doesn't take long at all. Plenty of servers to choose from, although, as I said, master server is still under heavy load, so thing are not perfect at the moment.

About cracked servers...there are no public server files, so you can't host a server. Cracked servers appearing at this time seems unlikely. May be later some server code might leak, and some servers will appear. But I don't really know what kind of protection/authentication systems they might have in place to prevent that.

I downloaded windows 7 last night but i kept getting the message that the windows is not genuine even though it had a fix with it.
Don't know how to get it genuine now will look around.
Been meaning to update from xp to either vista or windows 7 for a bit.
Windows 7 seems better but not sure.

Ah, I see. I suppose setting a server up in theory shouldn't be too difficult, although again, don't really know how it works on the server side.

But there are also problems to be solved on the client side, since right now, you can't even get into MP portion without an EA account which requires a legit key, as far as I know. And there is no way to connect to a custom IP address either.

All in all, it's just easier to buy the game, in my opinion. And I think it would be worth it too.
