Those are all unlocks in the game, you just start with them unlocked. Also the "limited edition" appears to be the only edition you can buy.

Correct. Even in the PS3 beta, there were guys running around with the Thompsons and Tracer Darts. They're like rank 20 (I believe).

If there's a 4-pack, I'm all over that sh*t.

Crap, I didn't even think of that, I bought it the minute I saw the Steam update.

I'm in for PC at least and im not sure about any console version but I could resist, I enjoyed the last bad company and have always enjoyed battlefield games.

Same I can not control my impulses for this one.

Dang, I already pre-ordered on Amazon and used a $20 coupon I got for buying MW2 from them.

Yeah, I couldn't give Steam my money fast enough when the pre order showed up. I'm a sad little man.

Okay, that's what I figured/hoped, but I could feel the nerdrage rising and just needed to clarify that. No more BC1 weapon codes.

when I saw you buy it than I knew that there would be goodjers playing on PC, so it tipped me over on purchasing it on Steam.

If they don't make major adjustments to the unlocks progression from the beta I played on PS3, you'll have most of those weapons and perks in your first night or three of playing.

That's good. I have not been thrilled with the direction the BF games have taken with regards to unlocks.

Budget says I can pick up two games in the next three months: this, AvP, and/or Mass Effect 2. I think Mass Effect 2 is classified as a 'yes' (in part by the wife), which leaves picking this up, or AvP...

I really loved me some AvP back in the day. But this looks damn good too.

I would say go with Mass effect 2 and this than AVP once it drops in price at least that's what I am planning.

Yeah, I do not have high hopes for AVP based on Rebellion's track record. All of their current-gen games have all been awful.

Is this going to be the big Thursday night game?

Pre-ordered. Looking really good.

I am thinking 30 man server for now. If we want more I will open donations. Depending on final pricing.

But I will need admins for the server as i may not be home much during the week.

PM me if you are interested.

I'm due for another experiment with Battlefield. I preordered.

That is the core Thursday night group's plan.

Thursday Night Battlefield Bad Company 2

SonuvaFemale Doggo, I am getting all teary-eyed seeing the "ol gang" coming together again for a metric ton of expletives on Thursday nights again...awesome.

I look forward to shooting down all you chopper whores yet again.

I swear to all that's holy if they use PB and it gets botched like it did with 2142 I am going to be soooooooooo pissed.

After seeing it for sale on steam, I'm in.

Also, gonna fire up 2142 for a bit...

Yeah. Rebellion hasn't exactly come up big lately, though I am heartened to see that many of the original developers from the 1st iteration are working on this (and will thus hopefully keep the same design sensibilities).

I am working my way through BF:BC1 single player right now (slowly), but I am the new sexy hotness is calling to me...

If memory serves me correctly, most of Swampy's landings look something like this:

No way. My crash scenes definitely have more empty beers bottles, burger wrappers, and Springsteen CDs strewn around them!

I took you for a Survivor "Eye of the Tiger" kind of guy, Swampy.

I'll be in for the PC version as well, but I'm gonna be able to only play once in a while due to the lack of a stable internet connection at my Father-in-law's place.

Actually I misspoke. When we're gaming and cocked, It's usually Journey's Don't Stop Believing and The Immigrant Song....

Ok, I am missing 50 bucks! So i will be there, hopefully in the beta! Goodjer up!
