We now turn to the battlefield community and ask for your help and your patience as we bring this out live for full testing. For those in the dark, KnyghtMare has been coding away on a solution to our impending problem for Battlefield 3. That game, like Bad Company 2, will not have working in game voip and this forces us to fall back ...
I was a participant in the Beta that ran last month. Well, it's now official. Steam Trading now lets you trade in game items with other people (Like TF2 hats) right from steam.

Again, I love Valve and STEAM. I think STEAM is what turned PC gaming ...
