I'm convinced that players like this really have not got a clue in how to play an FPS online. The killer for me is when you're getting trounced by vehicles and people start spawning as bloody recons and medics. FFS - get the engi's out! Thankfully it doesn't happen much, but jesus, some people...
I think this is where some of the Steam offers are getting a 2nd lease of life. Most laptops can easily handle the likes of KOTOR now and they are great to play while the missus is watching Corrie/Eastenders, etc. :)

That's what I live for on BC2, tbh. Either going head-to-head in a tank or taking them out as an engineer. Epic game. The simple fact that the Battlefield series continues to use vehicles as a key component of the game is why it will always be better than the COD series. For me, anyway. :)

Ah, thinking about it - it could be that. It's a 40" plasma I think, but I'm pretty sure its running on component connection as it doesn't have HDMI on it. Might be worth seeing it on a decent TV, eh?

I'm a bit confused with GT5 visually. That above what Geddes posted looks very good indeed. But last night was my first go of GT5 on my nephew's PS3 and it looked, well, pretty crap to me. :S
Granted he stuck with the snow/ice circuits - it was the Andros ones iirc, but overall I wasn't...
Yep, I'd recommend Bad Company 2 as well. Ideal for a pickup & go 30min session, or when you're ready to chuck a couple of hours into it.
As Greeny says though, the price has bumped back up slightly now. :(

It's not bad at all, even though I haven't completed it fully. Roy Munson is the F.E.A.R guru on here, however. It did have some epic features like bullet-time and stuff on its release - plus with the current hardware you've got, you'll be able to apply all the eye-candy as the developers...
Just noticed that that's the Enhanced Director's Version as well. I actually sourced that off Play after weeks of searching last year and I think I paid around £20 for it. I agree, a very good game.

Just what I was thinking! The amount of verbal I'd be shouting at that moment in time would be untrue!
Epic control there - bloody good job the car behind the truck was at a distance.

If you played a fair amount of either of those games, you'll slot straight back into BC2 in no time. The only advice I would offer is to pick one of the four classes and initially stick with it. Staying with one class from Rank 1 gets you masses of points quite quickly - not forgetting unlocking...
Star Wars Republic Commando is at £3.49. If you've never played this before, I implore anyone who likes a short but sweet FPS game with some cracking dialogue to buy this. :approve:

I'm used to this now - lol. Basically I check the petrol level when I start the car in the morning. If it needs refilling that day, I blast the petrol cap lock with some de-icer. By midday, it's freed-up and comes off quite easily.

Yes m8. I still keep trying to force myself to like it online, but it's bloody tough going. I much, much prefer the way the likes of BC2 plays online.

The recon scopes are pretty good still, Scutch. It's the fact that you have a periphery vision around the sides of the scope that takes a little getting used to....

I'd be pretty confident that it's a knackered shock too. That banging noise is difficult to ignore!
I've had a broken spring before now too - approx the last inch of one of my Eibach Sportlines. That was a lot more subtle in terms of how the car 'felt' though.
