dpp Posted March 30, 2010 I posted the PAX East coupon on Slickdeals.net and that almost broke EA Store... 20 bucks for BF:BC2 is by far the sweetest deal of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted March 30, 2010 $20? I'm getting $30 on the website with the $20 off thing, was there a different sale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dpp Posted March 30, 2010 There was another $10 off until Sunday evening... making it $20 total for the digital version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted March 31, 2010 There was another $10 off until Sunday evening... making it $20 total for the digital version. Yup. I posted about this in the general deals thread on Saturday. =/ Also, I forgot how janky PC games were temporarily, seemingly totally mystified when I couldn't join a multiplayer game. I forwarded some ports to no success... then I dug through the game files and found an updater, so I manually updated the game. I suppose that's the detriment of using retail/EA Store versions rather than Steam, laaaaame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scratch Posted March 31, 2010 Even the retail or non-steam version have the auto-updater built in. So when you launch the game, the update application runs first and then depending on whether an update is available it proceeds to launching the game. Disclaimer: I am completely basing this on my experience of running the non-steam beta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squid Division Posted April 1, 2010 A quick request, can someone edit one of their posts at the beginning of the thread with a list of people's names for people to add to their in-game friends list. Also, what clantag did people decide on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scratch Posted April 1, 2010 Clantag is Thumbs. I'll see if I can dig up the names of people I have on my list and edit the first post later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoflsaurusWrecks Posted April 2, 2010 Oh shiiii- This is the thread I was looking for. I'm RoflsaurusWrecks on steam. I'm in the group but have no friends So is there a particular server everyone is on? Also, is it on Sundays at 3pm (just want to make sure)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scratch Posted April 2, 2010 It is on alternate Sundays at 3PM EST. We are scheduled to play this Sunday if everything works out as planned. I have friended you on steam, but that's not enough. Is your BC2 game ID the same as well? You need to have one of us in your friends list there, to be able to join a game. Also post your skype ID if you have one, since we use skype for communication instead of the ingame voice/chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thompson Posted April 3, 2010 I have BC2 but between playing on my clan's servers (~200th in the world, were sitting on ~20th for a while) and my Australian time zone.. this isn't going to work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dpp Posted April 5, 2010 I had a good time this Sunday, the game is SO much more enjoyable when you're in a squad that knows what they're doing. I was impressed how my ping was good in UK servers, I was averaging 70. Looking forward to the next one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was impressed how my ping was good in UK servers, I was averaging 70. Looking forward to the next one! YEAH! Good games guys! I'm loving this game right now. I reckon we have enough to take over a whole server if we were all online at once I think we should have a bash at squad deathmatch if we can find a server; let some hilarious Thumb on Thumb action take place Good games.

Joflar Posted April 6, 2010 Oh man! I was playing Rush Laguna Presa as Offense on the Rock Paper Shotgun US server. We were losing really badly so I was just screwing around, and I found a jet ski. We were at the area where you need to cross the bridge or follow a stream and then go up a hill, so I just barreled down the stream at full speed. I zipped past some teammates who were in a firefight with some Defense. I charged straight into the defense who were holed up in the stream, and collided with a rock at full speed. It was an incredible jump that carried me straight over a group of enemy snipers and then planted me on land. I was typing out "OMG THAT WAS A SICK JUMP" when a Carl Gustav hit me straight in the back. Someone on the other team was like "Yeah you got really high :)". It was the best, it reminded me of insane jeep drivers in Battlefield 1942. Anyways I just got this game and I really want to play with you Thumbs guys!

Nicholololas Posted April 6, 2010 I picked this up for 360 last week and have been playing it most nights since, when you're actually in a decent squad and working together, even in the most basic ways such as tossing out ammo packs and medkits or spawning on one another it really is great fun. Are there any Thumbs playing the 360 version at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted April 6, 2010 A few. I started a thread for 360 players here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratch Posted May 12, 2010 http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/63751 4 player co-op mode announced, though it remains uncomfirmed on the PC due to complex server configurations. I am excited for it and hope it eventually does come to the PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
