b****cks! JUST about to order and noticed you need 1.5gb of RAM for Vista according to Blizzard's minimum spec. However I've got 2.6ghz dual AMD processor over the 2.4 dual ghz recommended spec. I don't know what my graphics card. Will this run do you think or just chug even with settings...

I've not got too far into the campaign, is the story good? Cinematic as MW2?

Yeh it's really hard! Especially as I like to not get that close. The boat kill pin and roadkill pins are hard too...I'll keep going though!

I think I am swinging towards Starcraft now! Although Supreme Commander 2 could be wicked: I LOVED Total Annihilation, love giant robots...but wouldn't it blow my PC up? The graphics look quite detailed? Shame about how C&C has ended up, considering it pretty much spawned the whole genre...

I'm thinking of getting SC2. Incidentally, Red Alert 3 seems to have been slated! I never knew it was such a dog. RA2 however I may purchase, as Tiberium Twilight also seems a dog if reviews are to be trusted?

No!!! So hard to get. Also need the melee one (4 kills in a round), 4 roadkills, 4 kills in a car...all achievable just haven't done them. Some of the badges are very hard to get though, although got about half probably now.

Currently thinking Starcraft 2 or Civ5, although may get Red Alert 2 too if it's cheap!

Ha...ok so more choices!!! Played a Total games AGES ago, think it might have been Rome, but found the controls confusing. Are the new ones more streamlined? Otherwise Civ has always kind of appealed to me, is 5 nout out yet/imminent though? Red Alert was THE game that got me into the genre...

Ok, after being on my 360 relentlessly for over 2 years, I realised I haven't played any PC games since Dawn of War (which I loved). I have a PC which is only about a year old, but modest spec, but want to get a decent strategy game. I've been looking at: Dawn of War 2 Command & Conquer /...

I've tried going back to MW2, just find it frustrating now though in general. Medic class does get a LOT better, the M16 with magnum ammo and red dot is lethal, almost like a rapid firing sniper rifle - lethal at all distances. Nero you can make the same character as that but with the Recon...

Yeh, you don't run around as much in open etc stick to cover a lot more, duck and weave! If you are recon pick a nice spot and enjoy...once you unlock a few bits of gear though the game really comes alive, plenty more ways to customise the way you want to play - e.g. recon with mortar strike and...

wow...kid has some serious skills. The thinking for Portal is the toughest part, impressive!

Heard nothing about great things about this, I'll be getting it ASAP!

Yeh, the amount of emergent strategies in this game is insane - e.g. use of smoke, C4, mortars, vehicles etc etc. Had a great triple kill the other night, jumped out a chopped above an M-Com station, it was fiercely defended but they weren't looking up, so I shot a rocket down as I was...

Go on the website think you can get one from there?

Scutch Rush is THE game mode on BC2 as far as I'm concerned, give it another go - even defending is fun now, and forces you to change your tactics a lot more often so improves your overall gameplay. Val Pareiso is the one me and my friend enjoy the most, although attacking rather than...

Yeh I did, it was the Temple one IIRC, with Baron Samedi? When you knew the pattern for the floor bit though the level itself was not that hard. Aztec on 00 Agent mode remains one of the hardest console experiences of my life I think, was bloody hard - and then the fight with Jaws. Control was...

I was on a bit of a rinseout last night, got 19 for 2 which I think is my best k/d ratio in a game and from then on was consistently picking up 15-30 kills a game - mainly from the Gol but I was mixing up all my classes. Also for some reason my veteran status finally clicked in (having visited...

Sadly things have moved on quite a lot since Goldeneye, this may be in danger of ruining all those cherished memories...

Been doing well with the UAV / C4 tactic on Rush. Initially I thought it was cheating, but really the amount of people who sit miles away and call in mortar after mortar are doing the same thing, and it does require skill to coordinate and flythe bugger in. Often get 400 + points a hit though if...

Re: *** Official Call of Duty 7 (Aka CoD: Black Ops) thread *** Ha only joking, love Beemers :cool: However sir you are categorically wrong about BC2!!! Although it took me about 12 hours to get into the game, understand the tactics, get some unlocks etc...once I did that not really gone back...

Re: *** Official Call of Duty 7 (Aka CoD: Black Ops) thread *** McBunny you are joking right? Bad Company 2 is stunning, anyone who can't see that is a FOOL! Although if you drive a BMW then I guess "taste" isn't one of your better skills?!? :rasp:

Well I got it about a week or so ago? But yeah seems a bit of a flaw, and quite easy to do too...oh well if you can't beat them, join them!

It's weird though, I downloaded the new maps a week or so ago at least, bu only played Atacama on Rush last night when I selected it, maybe it doesn't come in normal playlists otherwise? Anyway, tried the C4 on UAV trick and works really well! Only issue is opposition seem to have the same...

I use alt, my friend uses smoke - for tanks we can cruise in, lay down smoke, I pop out, arm the bomb, get back in the tank and cruise off. Also love using the smoke grenades in assault class, plant yourself on an ammo box and just keep laying down cover if you are being mown down.

^ Good skills. I love when there's a medic looking for the people you've just killed - you can kill him and then the person you've just killed, again! Pure jokes!

I mix up all classes in every match, each time I die I think about the current scenario, even modify my classes to suit the tide of battle. e.g. on Rush if I'm defending with an engineer I'll use AT mines, but attacking more likely to use a medic or engineer with RPG or Gustav. What is...

^ Yeh that's very true - and for long distance snipage that matters a lot, as sometimes I went to hit the head with M95 and even adjusting the bullet fell below the whole target, and giving position away then. This game is good as you can mix your setup on the fly. In MW2 I've used the same...

Yeh in the right hands a chopper can last for ages! Although I find that some pilots are rubbish and keep moving about so much so you can't actually shoot anyone. Switched back to Gol after people advised on here - and you are right, better than the M95 with the magnum ammo on.

I'm lal aboutthe engineer - I just love the AT mines, nothing more satisfying than laying them, forgetting about them and a few minutes later getting a double kill and destroying a tank. Mmmm....
