Computer Jargon

U mean the BF2142 BF2 expansion pack... Its not exactly a different game.

Not to mention their bill board advertising.. buggers.

Good stuff ea.. release a patch before the game is released.. lmao.

[Madaz]

not to mention adaware

[Bl4cK32]

Adaware is what cubes is referring to Madaz when he says the bill board advertising. Basically the spyware logs how long etc u look at the ads etc (im going to shoot all i go past...take that EA ) and sends the info out...

Im unsure if i wanna grab the patch sorry...full game Already been playing the demo for a while...not bad, but my computer is relatively new (by date i bought it i mean ) and ive heard others have had problems...whats so new

Ive been playing guild wars more than anything atm....

[Whiplash]

Don't know about it I played 1942 for hours and hours and hours then the modern warfare mod was good but i was disapointed with BF2 and uninstalled it

i think i'll stick to my Simbin GT games

[Cubes]

lol yes I thought it was typical EA BF style as BF2 was released with bugs out its ears... At least I supposed EA released a patch before it was released.

Their Project manager needs to be shot.

[Madaz]

yeah i have heard nothing but troubles with the full retail

thats probably why the demo was so lite ...

no revive for medic only a 3 kits no nades all the things that helped create bugs

prolly no PB too

[Cubes]

Whiplash.

When BF2 was first released I too uninstalled and went back to BF1942..

Then a year or so later reinstalled and got in to it and started quite enjoying it.

[Whiplash]

at the moment i'll stay with my racing games

may try some First person shooters over the christmas holidays

[Madaz]

does any1 know if i can make a DVD from multiple cd's (game cd's of course)

[Howie]

Hey madaz, what i usually do is use Alcohol 120% to create images of each cd, burn them onto DVD, and mount them as needed.

[Madaz]

hmmm only problem is i DONT software any legit way of doing it keeping in mind i cant buy alchol120 either

Edited October 23, 2006 by Madaz

[Howie]

I hear you madaz, i do it with my legit copy of games. I buy all my games, so i can network play it.

There are lots of freeware iso program making software (e.g. isobuster) and alot of low cost ones (like 30 bucks for winiso).

[Howie]

Btw, wanna see my rig

[Madaz]

so wheres SFII i loved that game

i used to play if for like 40c @ a small foodland when every where else was 1buck

looking into isobuster

so can i put all my disc's to DVD and when install not remove the dvd and the install procedure find the relevant cd on the dvd

[Munkyb0y]

I dont wanna cut in here or anything, but........

has anyone played FLATOUT 2 on pc?

it's freakin great. you gotta try it. much better than Flatout 1.

[Cubes]

lmao.. Awesome Howie..

Madaz.. Yep the only way is via Alcohol 120%.

To save those origionals create mini images (very small) keep them on your HD and mount them via daemon tools to play the game.

I personally don't see the point of copy protection with games that are primarily online based. A simple cd key check as per bf2 etc is all that is needed. Spend the $$ on creating a better bug free game or pass the savings on to us to.

I know if a game was around the $50-$60 mark I would buy more games at that price and end up spending more doing so compared to only buying one or two games when they are worth $80+ each.

[Howie]

SF2 is like my all time favourite game! Should drop by one time if you ever have the urge. I run mame, so all the versions of SF are there (hyper fight, alpha, alpha2, super, etc). I've also spent a bucket load on quality happ joysticks, so it's authentic.

Oh yeah, daemon tools is an awesome freeware iso busting program.

Wanna see my other rig?

[Madaz]

ah nice dell 24"

howie do u have the SAU logo that we were discussing in a photoshop format with layers active

[Howie]

I've got it in a vectorised Adobe Illustrator file, I think photoshop should be able to rasterise and import that.

Lol... i got in with the group buy on dell 24's.. i think we ordered about 500 of them on overclockers australia.

When i'm done with my other rig, i'll take pics of that too... it's a home theatre pc, with onkyo amp, accusound 5.1 with sub, and in not too long a 42" hd plasma.

[Nightcrawler]

awesome rig there Howie .... here is my setup .... X2 4200 o/c to 4800, XFX GT7600GT, 2Gb Patriot DDR 533, 20" AOC, 500Gb HDD etc etc
