Bear in mind this is only the Rush mode. There'll probably be bigger maps with old usual Conquest mode, we'll see eventually.

Indeed. Rush combat is always more compact and spammy, whereas conquest really shines through with the squad tactics and combat. Though even then for a rush map, I think Valdez is overall rather small and narrow in comparison to a lot that I've played on the original Bad Company.

No on PS. I figure you have to unlock its ability to fire?

Are you talking about the machine gun on the UAV? I think it's a Vehicle perk that you have to unlock, I think it's called "Vehicle Alternate Fire". It's not available on the PC version, only consoles.

I thought Vehicle Alt-Fire was the tank coax guns, and was part of the Limited Edition pre-order?



Related note: I love the way this is looking, from the trailers and the beta gameplay footage ... let's say I only want to spend $50 ... do I want this or do I want AVP?

Consensus: too good to be true, pricing mistake, will be cancelled

Edit: same site, proper listing: http://videogames.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?EAN=14633190366&x=
looks like the $20 listing is probably for the useless game guide.



The game guide is for sale for tenbux at B&N. This says it's in Category:pC Games.

What the h-e-double-hockey-sticks, I say. I ordered it. Yeah, it's not the limited edition, but for thirtybux difference I can probably put in the extra time necessary to earn the 1911 and Tommy gun. Aaaand if they cancel it, I should still have enough time to get the Steam preorder.

And, hey, it's #11 in B&N's overall sales list, so ... if it's fake, then they've got some splainin to do.

Yeah when you buy the Limited Edition you get those perks unlocked right away. They're not exclusive, you just get them day one while others have to rank up to unlock them.

Older PS3 beta had all the unlockables, current PC beta has limited unlocking and I believe current console demos have more unlocks so they can use them.

I swear I unlocked that and then tried and got nothing.... oh well will keep trying!

This game has superb realism btw. I know most would disagree but I think this is gonna be amazing!! The infantry combat is much nicer than run n gun n die MW2!!

The listing now says 'sold out,' but they've charged my card already, and haven't cancelled my order. This morning I talked to them on the phone, they said that after the order gets sent to Game Stop then I should get my beta key.

So, yeah, we'll see what happens ...

WTF and I thought DICE showed more care and respect for the PC community :mad:

I meant not available in PC Beta, only console demos. Every retail version will be identical on all platforms :eek:
