I still cannot log on to the EA gun club. it asks for my email and password but when i click logon it goes back the login screen. I know its not my password cause if i put in the wrong pass is tells me i have but when i put in the right login credentials it just reloads the login page? anybody else login with there EA account?

Does exact same think to me :( (well the top part "what is&reward" goes away) I'd make another account but that won't work as you have to use same as in game.

Me and Marineborn were talking about it. They may tout it as an expansion, but honestly thats almost 40 years in the past, that big of a time jump seems like a whole different game. I mean they would have to put some sort of toggle in at the main menu to switch it or something. I have a feeling it will end up being announced as just a game, not an expansion.

Every game is a way of making money, and the BC2 graphics are awesome, so I don't see whats wrong with that, and the engine has been in use since BC1. Nothing wrong with using the same engine, lots of games use the same engines.

It will all come down to atmosphere, Nam has massive atmosphere, those times were crazy, not only in war, but in general. They need to bring back music in vehicles, and the setting with all that lush grass and shallow water can create some awe inspiring maps and great hiding spots. I for one am VERY eager to play it, even if it is $50 or $60. I loved 1942, disliked Vietnam, dislike BF2, just was unhappy where the series turned, the 1942 DC mod was awesome, and the other games lacked that feeling, the first time I ever felt that again was in BC1, and I feel it in BC2, I can't put my finger on it. But the characters in the storyline say what I always felt about the BF series, MW is serious, BF is the shenanigans. And I prefer shenanigans to serious anyday of the week.

Has anyone played the Medal of Honor beta? I'm wondering if I should even consider getting it...

After BC2, I am a bit skeptical... Seeing as how BC2 never got any real new maps (free). It seems like EA's policy is to just pump out paid expansions and new games as fast as possible, without supporting old games long term...

BC2 is starting to feel like it was just a giant alpha for MOH...

It just seems like they almost planned it on purpose so that the community would move straight to the next game.

I haven't pre-ordered MOH yet. I'm waiting for my next paycheck for that (spent too much on computer parts and car inspection). I like what I see in the videos though.

Some will move on but most people will still play BC2. MOH is just a Frostbite based alternative to COD. I've been playing the beta and it's fun but it will not replace BC2 because it doesnt offer enough of the epic Battlefield style moments. It's just not BF and never will be.

IMO the game is pretty promising but it's not without it's faults. However it does have some shining features such as lower damage from explosives meaning more people actually use their guns, both the 40mm GL and RPG have slower projectile speeds and splash. Hit detection feels better but I believe that's because the servers are not running on over populated boxes so we're not dropping packets like BC2 can with 32 player servers. Also, bullet damage feels higher and HP feels lower but regeneration is pretty high.

Who did you pre-order with? I did BC2 and MOH though steam and it was the easiest process I've seen in a while.

If you have BC2 though Steam and you pre-order MOH you get the beta instantly without using the gunclub site.

Yeah, unless you can get to an EB games or gamestop since they have the promotional MOH codes. Some Eb games locations are selling the codes for $5.

If I come across an extra code I'll post here and first BC2 club member to PM to me gets it.

Forum Post: Battlefield Bad Company 2 PC Patch Release.

Bazajaytee said:
So early signs are we fixed the problem by rolling back a change involving SPECACT kits.

As long as this continues we are aiming to release on Wednesday (23rd) of next week. However this is dependant on how fast we can gain approval the patch is compliant with Steam. If that approval does not come quick enough the release will slip to the Monday (28th) of the week after (as it is a red day in Sweden on Friday next week and we don't release patches at the end of working weeks).

This does mean that SPECACT kits will not be available after patching as we had hoped but all other fixes remain as does the ability to play the new modes like Map Pack #3.

twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "Good news, the EA version of the new patch works as expected. Now to pass it over for STEAM testing. Wednesday release is looking good."
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "Yeah SPECACT is still coming to PC."

I watched a multiplayer video, and it looks pretty good. The $60 price tag is a bit rough, especially considering I missed my chance to get it for like ~$35 back when the preorder was $50, and EA had the % off coupon... :(

It really feels like bc2 and cod4 collided, which might be an awesome combination.... I'm just pretty nervous about spending $60 and getting locked into a game that might be horrible...
