Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Rak]

Doesnt seem that bad to me, 10 activations is loads and as long as the deactivations is as simple as uninstalling it could be a lot worse. Disc check is normal and secuROM isnt really a problem as long as it doesnt have the 'you must verify online each time you load the game' crap. I wonder how the steam version will compare...

Anyway yeah beta out at 6pm CET tomorrow, and for anyone with steam pre order it should just appear on your uninstalled games list

EDIT: I would prefer no activation limit and no additional DRM stuff, but if it does stop a few would be pirates without disrupting legal users I'm all for it.

Considering the DRM Ubisoft will be including with the games, SecuROM looks like the better of the worst.


TBH I think CD-Key is the best protection for online games like BF itself, rest is just torture for legal users.

I got beta code from Play, too. I cancelled the order hours before it tho. and ordered from EAstore(got it cheaper) and I'm now waiting their beta code. I guess I have two codes now .

 

[Xendance]

Send me ther other one. I tried to buy it off from Play but the ****er site doesn't work for some weird reason.

 

[Pavalion]

In a couple of hours my money gets on my click and buy.

[Hirmuinen]

I will wait till tomorrow and see if I get the code from EAstore and keep the play's code safe till then.

Kewl.

Just 1.5gig. And the game itself is 15 lol

Btw, do we get all the weapons etc in the beta?
What about the maps?
Do we get the desert maps like in all the YT vids?

DRM is retarded. Bad move of EA. Only ppl that you get with DRM is ppl who pay for it. Pirates will pirate it, I can't believe they still think it stops pirates.

 

[Zennousha]

Lol, anyone got a PC Key handy? Figures preordering in store doesn't get you a smegging key.

You get all the weapons and unlocks, but there's only one map. It's set in Alaska, so snowy this time. For the unlocks you'll have to invest lots of time though. I didn't bother in PS3 beta because they're gonna reset after beta anyway.

 

[NoxNoctum]

Has anyone gotten their key from EA Store yet?

Are they sending it through email or regular mail?

Obviously Steam and registering your CD key with your online profile is not enough.

I sticking to my principles on this one, no money from me.

Agreed, although I really want to play this online. Dilemma.

Anyway, I got a beta key in the mail today from a German site I hope it won't give me any crap for not being from Germany.

 

[{Core}Craig]

Pre ordered.

For the pc of course. Ive no idea why anyone orders console fps. Maybe if your poor and have a crappy pc, but thats about it.

 

[Rak]

Uhh PS3 beta was pretty fun. Sometimes I prefer my comfy sofa and relax in front of TV, rather than get tired in front of my PC.

 

[Pvt.pile]

Anyone got a link to the free beta keys?

 

[Ralfst3r]

Anyone got a link to the free beta keys?

I got it from the german BF site, but I think applications ended.

 

[Pvt.pile]

[Rak]
