Well that account was useless. But the good news is I got my old, old username back. It's the same as my Steam account now. Used it for BF 1942, Vietnam, BF2, but somewhere along the line lost rights to it. Guess it went back into public domain and I was able to reclaim it with my new account.

Grr. It is Punkbuster that was causing me issues before. Soon as I installed BC 2 and played (and reinstalled that Malware crap), I come out of sleep, and the computer hard locks. DVD drive has running (nothing in). Who knows what the hell it was trying to do.

Had this problem when I played the MoH beta. Nailed it down to either my Razer mouse drivers (which worked perfect till then), the Firefox beta, or Punkbuster. Thought it was Punkbuster But I forgot about it. And it's been months of smooth sailing. Till now. It's back. If there's not a way to disable that crap and not have it load at startup, that's 20 bucks down the drain.

or maybe the console makers will finally raise the bar on those caps...
Console makers would also have to make the consoles significantly more powerful to handle 64 players with maps the proper size to accommodate that number + destruction and jets.

But the reality is PC most likely won't get much special treatment.

Went into services.msc - properties - log on - checked "Allow services to interact with desktop". I really hope that puts an end to this issue.

I hope that you are wrong, because I have faith in DICE. If they shatter this hope completely, then they will be dead to me.

Frostbite 2 will probably be more optimized compared to FB1 so they could fit more information within the current limits.

You don't think think just "zone" (16 players, 32, 64) out the maps, like BF2?

And our generation goes back to Vietnam to fuck shit up virtually. What a weird world.

Is there a Vietnam OT? If not, why not?

I can't wait! Points ready!
Only this Vietnam Pre-release Media Thread so far... which was created from Evilore branching off the first post of Vietnam Media posted in this thread, and making it it's own thread.

I expected Fersis to sort of port the BC2 Thread design into Vietnam OT,but I guess it's not really necessary since it's just an expansion and we're all posting/gathered in the BC2 thread already...?

Yeah it's up. Weirdly small download, but guess they only needed it for the new menu option.

Played a quick game and flamed a poor shmuck. Will have more time later.

But rank didn't reset? I thought we were all supposed to be back down to 1?

Nah it's new do it here and after a few weeks a mod will move it.

If they ever make OT thread mandatoryly only for the community area then it some get more people to visit it.
