KeymasterDamn, why didn’t I preload the game before tonight 🙁 Are you seriously in the game already Beer? Guess I’ll get that server tonight as well then.

KeymasterI just happened to notice while flicking channels tonight that this was on the gadget show tonight on channel 5. It’s a pretty impressive setup they had, though I don’t think you’d be spending too long playing each night 🙂 The show will likely be available via their on demand service on their own site or possibly youtube in the next day or two.

Keymasteror just a load of ole hype that dont really serve any purpose ?
That would be my feeling on it, though to be fair I don’t really know much about them. They seem a bit gimmicky but it might actually be pretty cool to see it demonstrated sometime. Come to think of it, that’s probably what I’d need before spending any money on one, to see a demonstration.

KeymasterAccording to the email I’ve just received advising I can now preload the limited edition (the pre ordered version which included early beta access), I can start playing the game on the 27th.
Alzir
KeymasterNo, they allowed people who had preordered to play the beta 2 days before it was opened to the public. Hope it’s not true about waiting for the 28th.
Alzir
KeymasterI’ll just break the forums formatting to post the final beta stats.

KeymasterOh and also more multiplayer map info:
MP Map reveal Part 1
MP Map reveal Part 2

KeymasterI’m seriously tempted to take Tuesday off work….that’s probably quite sad.
Alzir
Keymasterwow I’d certainly give up on keyboard and mouse controls for that!
Imagine how fit you’d need to be though if they did eventually get something like this working properly, especially if they released El Alamein 🙂 Sprint 2km to flag only to die by sniper/ex-packed flag area/tiger tank/plane….respawn, sprint another 2km to flag, only to die in the desert somewhere along the way gasping for water and air….Might make spawn camping feel merciful.

So, BF3 kicks off in just over a week. Any decision on if we are gonna invest in a server and if so from where?
This is on the todo list for this week. At the moment I’m just home in Belfast with limited time to spend online, but I intend on having this sorted within the next few days, as I’ll be back in Edinburgh tomorrow and off work until after the weekend.
When I made this post I was on verge of just renting a server but I couldn’t decide how on how long a lease. This thread hasn’t really helped much with that decision, so what I’ll do is check what’s in the bank when I’m back tomorrow afternoon, and work out what’s initially affordable from that.
I’m already decided on using Rackage as our provider, as they’ve been the most reliable for us, and the service Gonzo provides us is second to none.
I need to work out how to best manage donations for this as well, which is why I’ll pick up the initial bill, but will then take donations towards it’s running and keep any surplus until the initial lease is up. I’ve a few ideas how to manage the donations but I’ll have to work out the best way when I’m back in Edinburgh with all my banking details to hand.

KeymasterJesus christ mike how many posts do you want to dig up? Doc’s pc’s probably obsolete by now.
Incidently, like minecraft and eve, building your own pc gets you a lot of women. Not sure if you’re that way inclined 😉
Alzir
Keymaster😆 class, and likewise I’ve always preferred this but not really played much of the recent fifa incarnations.
Alzir
Keymaster😆
Alzir
Keymasterwow where do you find the time to write huge posts like this
In my last job I had internet access…now I don’t 🙁
Alzir
Keymasterlol signal, and no Paddy…or well yea i vaguely remember you saying, but I think we’ve both got steam installs so, unlike doc, it’s likely already updated.
