I've never purchased them myself but I see links and threads on them every now and then from various PC gaming sites and many people say they've tried them and the keys legitimately work and many are verified for EADM and Steam. You can actually goto the EA Download manager and enter the key and download from the actual EA servers. I can't think of any actual sites off hand but they are out there if you search. Usually, games sell for cheaper in other countries and these sites simply purchase those keys and sell them to North America.

Personally, there is too much to play out there anyway and I can wait a few months for the actual games to drop in price from EA or Steam sales.

Seems this one is popular

I like the part where he boot ####s that guy when hes defusing the ied. I'm ready to go into suspended animation until this game is released.

Ditto. I'm really excited to see what multiplayer has to offer. After Counter-Strike/Day of Defeat, the only multiplayer games I played were BF1942, BF2 and BFBC2 so I'm really looking forward to this. Maybe 64 player servers on console? Unlikely, but a man can dream.

64 might be a bit laggy on the consoles. I'm hoping PC has more than 32, but it won't ruin this game for me if it doesnt.

I need to stop watching those trailers. That game looks good. Crazy good. I think i'll go apologize to my girlfriend now, so she can prepare for my exodus to the computer room in the fall.

I havent told my gf this game is coming out. She'll protest so much about it, I figure I'll just convince her its BC2 and I'm hooked again because they patched it and added new maps.

I might go fire up BFBC2. I'll most likely end up yelling at my TV out of frustration though.

Why the does the animation show the guy cocking the M4 after he reloads a new mag?

When the old mag is expended, the bolt should lock back. When he reloads he should be simply inserting the new magazine and hitting the bolt catch on the side of the receiver.

It's like when your handgun is out of ammo. The slide locks back. You don't have to c0ck it every time you insert a new magazine.

This makes sense if he reloads when the mag is not completely emptied. If that's the case, and there is a different animation for when your mag is completely empty, that would be interesting to see.

If they iron out the multiplayer and launch this before MW3 i can see a lot of people moving away from the COD franchise.

They should be moving to BF3 regardless or timing or anything else.

That is such a pet peeve for me, and it even includes the movies where you see guys doing the elaberate chambering of rounds.

I've always thought that they should have the added difficulty of a misfeed or jammed round into video games where you actually have to unjam your weapon. I mean lets be honest, in these games you fire thousands of rounds through your weapon in each level. First of all its going to get hella dirty, and your going to get jams and misfires. Just like once in a while I'd like to see a dud grenade, or a bad rocket or whatever.

This game looks unreal.

I'm a huge COD fan but I think I'll be getting this game over MW3.

How awesome would that be where different guns have different misfire ratios. Be an interesting way of doing level-ups as well.

Didn't a lot of people already migrate with BFBC2?

Farcry 2 had those features... was really annoying.
