So it's live, and so is the fun. It's really challenging and sniping is still godly but man these maps are tough as hell. The chopper handles like a wet dream but can be taken down by small arms fire. Come on and get in !

Even though I tested it at around 4:00 am eastern, I didn't make a post as a fell asleep in my study. But man oh man that browser is now 50 times better. After extensive testing I can also say that the m60 was not reduced in its owning ability which is crazy. Anyways other than a few new bugs it seems its on the upswing. Now they need to cure our mapathy already as the game is quite stagnate even after only 3 days of play ( I am up to 11 days shh...). Moreover, most of the people I play with have moved on or they are waiting on mapathy cure so here's hoping for new maps to come. Hopefully the bring back a version of Strike at Karkand or even (ugh) Wake Island. Anyways kill you later!

Here is the changelog for the upcoming rather large patch. Keep in mind that some weapons will be changed and alot of problems that have been requested have now been addressed. Still no hardcore mode filter though (sigh). Anyways it seems also that STEAM is testing the patch tonight and then the rest of the world Wednesday morning EURO time. So if you haven't played in a while or you have been bored come and give a go perhaps your pet peeves have been reduced or eliminated! GG and cya on the Battlefield.

that is all see you in 10 hours.

All aboard everyone!! Anyways it seems that a dice producer has responded on the preload situation formally and although it was intended to have 24 hours prior to launch to release a preload it seems that now we just to have to slam the servers together late tonight or tomorrow. Steam officially does not have a release date other than from 16 hours from now and EA goes live in 2 hours and 20 minutes. So in hindsight when you want to play a 3rd party title on release perhaps its better to go elsewhere. Either this is EA's doing to allow EA to have first come first server for preorders following word of mouth, ( which would make a big business sense ) or some other bs reason is beyond me. However pre loads for steam are due 2 hours from now at official release per Dice: the official story is here http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company-2-pc-beta/920167-day-1-patch-has-been-published.html#post12976304
oh well, i know i for one will be purchasing elsewhere for a 3rd party multiplayer game that I really want to play from here on out.
