Re: Demo Available for EA Downloader Preorders

No field upgrades in the demo either?

Re: Demo Available for EA Downloader Preorders

im pretty sure he read that even without the bold letters....however even the field upgrades arent possible in the demo...or so ive read.

what are these newsgroups you speak of jmaker?

edit - actually i kinda like the no unlocks thing. for one, the game comes out in 14 days, people will get unlocks fairly quickly so its good to play with the stock guns for a while...theyre actually pretty good all of em. From what i hear sniping takes skill again...scope drift but dead on accuracy. Secondly, people could just keep playing the demo if there was unlocks...granted it would be with only one map but it would keep a good amount of ppl from buying the game.

Re: Demo Available for EA Downloader Preorders

Got it, installed, played, got booted to login screen saying connection to EA master server was lost.

Ended up having to create ANOTHER EA account because perry, TG_perry, TGperry, and perryTG were all bad. Ended up having to make TGperryTG, but I could make perry as my soldier name. Quite strange.


Ohhhhhhhh... Now I remember what I should have used for the EA account name.

Re: Demo Available for EA Downloader Preorders

So how is it? I just got back home and haven't played it yet nor will I since I'm a little too tired right now. I'll have to check it out tomorrow night.

It's growing on me slowly. Nothing incredibly new and amazing, but the EMP effects are nice.

Re: Demo Available for EA Downloader Preorders

I am loving it so far...

I think it is a much more stable game than BF2. Graphics are updated. Guns are awesome...

The little changes they made demands teamwork and reduce stat whoring etc... I can already imagine the TG battles had with this game. Even though we do not have the squad enforcement there are plenty of incentive to be in a squad or to lead a squad, so I believe we will see the same kind of playstyle.

Put your names under the buddy list. And let us get it on............

Re: Demo Available for EA Downloader Preorders

I'm really enjoying the game.. and thats in these pub squads with no one really playing together. I imagine this game would be incredibly fun on TG and especially in scrimms.

Re: Demo Available for EA Downloader Preorders

totally diggin the new map. Conquest is still awesome as ever. The graphics got a nice touch up since the better. A lot more detail to the gun models too. Too bad no unlocks but its still fun.

And as B stated, a lot more incentives to play as a squad. You wont see a lot in the demo cuz theres no points to be gotten, but you will once youre able to get field upgrades and squad assist points.

I can def see the TG potential here if we were give it a go. Tons of fun.
