My father has asked me to look into building a quiet PC to replace his dying laptop. He doesn't use it for much, only internet, word processing, email and some basic photo editing (nothing photoshop heavy so no need for super processing power). His biggest requirement though is that it must...

Well that sucks. Couldn't you just buy the "physical" copy and input the code, or does that still need a CC to do?

This is why wherever possible I'll create a new account for each game with origin. The fact that EA have the power to remove access to single player games for something completely unrelated in a different game is obscene. The fact that you are forced to use Origin to patch games by EA doesn't...

Ohhhh. He really sucks then.

Looks like he has been - stays as rank 100, but his class/weapon/vehicle stats are gone.

In-game VOIP was very useful in the latter stages of the 2142 lifecycle. I don't know whether it was the servers I played on or the fact that only the hardcore who played the game as a team were still on, but in-game VOIP was great if you got a good squad on a public server, which happened...

I'm terrible at flying in BF3, but I always enjoyed flying the gunship through the bridge on 2142. Also, ballistic scope on the SV98 is so much better than the stupid traingley thing it comes with. Can't see anything with that, and can't tell whether you're aiming in the right place unless...

I'll go in for The Baconing, where's the harm?

Perhaps that's why I seem to struggle with sniping (managing to play well at all really). I always seem to struggle picking people out of scrub and stuff, especially on maps like Caspian.

I'll mod games which are a good base to mod from. The only recent ones I've used are Oblivion/Skyrim. They make such good platforms, and because the world is so vast there's a lot of potential to make good mods. There is a danger of getting mods which overpower your character. I remember the...

Yep, servers used to be buttery smooth, even with a 45-70 ping for me, but now even if I have 30 I get lag. Can someone explain what the FXAA injector is? I'm thoroughly confused, although I have to say, using the colourblind settings makes reading things so much easier to read, despite me...

100% agree. 2142 was an incredible game. It had issues at the beginning, but they fixed those, and in doing so managed to make a very good game. DICE also listened to fans in the feedback, and what did they get, praised. The problem with setting a game in the present is that everyone will...

BF3 has far too many problems to have the same lifespan as 2142/BF2. I logged in excess of 500 hours on 2142 and kept playing it for over three years. I am already starting to get bored of BF3 due to poor map design and hit detection primarily, I'm not even sure whether I'll bother playing to...

I've managed to do that once before. Was very satisfying, unfortunately never been able to repeat the feat.

The bipod has been glitchy for me - sometimes deploying with the animation (and associated inability to shoot time) but not actually having an effect on accuracy. It's also deployed on objects before and made me look the wrong way, which is most annoying.

I think (not 100% certain) that it was this server: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/servers/show/a1c5a7b1-1843-4fd0-949b-0ec8c8f50b16/EE-Killer-No-Rockets-M320-Metro-1000-Ticket-conquest-24-7/

Skyrim. Bang for buck I don't think there has been a better game released.

Can't remember - finished the round and then left. Most ridiculous policy I've ever seen admins employ.

For me, a lot of games are requiring that I use Steam to download some of it anyway, so I might as well buy the game through Steam. Given that nowadays there's nowhere to buy an actual disc, I'd have to order online - might as well download it rather than wait for the postman.

Horrible game last night - we'd cap all the flags and then the admins (all on the other team) would kill our entire team so they could retake the flag. Didn't happen when their team had all the flags funnily enough. I understand no baserape, but no even being allowed to defend the flag closest...
