Don't you need to register for that? Anyhoo I don't want to be spoiled. I like experiencing the smaller things of the game on my own.

Well, it is for subscribers I think

But if you want a quick glimpse, you can go here

Thanks Jordan for the link to srtest. Never used that site before. I've got two systems that should run the game quite nicely. My laptop failed though unfortunately :-(

Also ordered the CE from EB today. Game should be in tomorrow I'm told. Good stuff! They told me that there has been absolutely tons of demand for the game here in Red Deer. Basically told me without a pre-order there was no way I was getting a copy of the game.

Where did you go and get it Badger?

Still waiting for those *******s at EB to call me, and even though I pre-ordered they wouldn't garentee me a copy.

the crispy badger · 03-21-2006, 11:52 AM

I got it from EB here in Moncton....they called me last night and said that it was in..but when I arrived this morning it had not been delivered..whats up with that..dont they HAVE to have a copy for you if you preorder..it only makes sense

CaramonLS · 03-21-2006, 11:55 AM

Yeah EB here is kind of shady with that kind of stuff, its a pretty bad store.

FYI guys, Future shop on Macleod has a TON of copies if you can't find one anywhere else.

I just realised I had a future shop GC, and I had only put down 5$ at EB, so who cares.

theJuice · 03-21-2006, 12:22 PM

Did you guys get it on PC or Xbox360?

ernie · 03-21-2006, 12:35 PM

For a store to take pre-orders on SOFTWARE and not be able to guarantee a copy is a joke. It's not as if there are limited supplies of the game. Take the pre-orders and then order in enough to cover the pre-orders plus some extras for walk in customers. But this is the thing EB does over and over again and still people keep on going back. Until people finally quit doing it they'll never stop.

Bobblehead · 03-21-2006, 12:40 PM

I've started getting my games at London Drugs. Not quite the selection, but the way EB has marginalized their PC Games it is almost as good.

the crispy badger · 03-21-2006, 12:54 PM

Got it for 360..it looks pretty damn good on my widescreen 52' hdtv

Calgary Flames · 03-21-2006, 03:57 PM

Wow, this game runs pretty sluggish on medium settings for me. probaly 15fps... Fun game though.

SoulOfTheFlame · 03-21-2006, 07:13 PM

Loving the game

Hating the bugs... and my crappy video Card..

Anyway, very very very very very FUN! Get it, just make sure you have a decent card and can handle a few bugs... !

Calgary Flames · 03-21-2006, 07:35 PM

I've got it to handle pretty nicely and look good at 1024x768. Definetely a game I can play for quite some time along with computer upgrades it will only get better!

Jagger · 03-22-2006, 12:21 AM

It took me a while but I've got my running quite well at 1024x768 as well. It was frustrating at first as the game kept crashing the computer. Turns out it was a video card issue though that I managed to resolve.

Good game so far. Great graphics. No bugs observed yet.

photon · 03-22-2006, 07:57 AM

My framerate was great until I got out into the open

Trying to run it at 1280x1024 with full settings and AA though, probably not realistic. I haven't tried OCing my new PC though yet, and hopefully a good tweak guide will come out (one that shows with screenshots the exact effect changing each thing has, I saw one like that for BF2 that was awesome).

Where the hell is Ulrich's quarters?
