2 years!??!? Where did you get that from? Ok, ok, not ten years, but GW came out in 2005! I remember laughing at the idea that GW2 might not be out until 2010 back in 2007.

But, now that you've brought it up, I can't wait for D3 either! I'm probably looking forward to GW2 a bit more, though... At the peak of my GW playing, it was possibly the most fun I've had with a game.

If you want/need any help, give me a prod. Minus my moddy deletions and rollbacks I'm a wee bit rusty on here but I do know my way around a wiki :smile:

:yy: Nice one, I'm going away for about a week and a half (although I'll still be posting from my phone), and might try to launch a wiki page when I get back. Thanks in advance for the help! :smile:

Happy! I hate steam anyway...tbh it has to many games on the market.
But I'm sure lots of people like steam, so I assume they will be upset.


wow....just wow

That's a good point! I wonder if a list of beta sign-ups would be a good thing to keep in the OP? If anyone thinks that's a good idea/can think of any current or upcoming betas (which you can actually sign up for, or at least put an email address down for to indicate interest), let me know

:mmm:
Speaking of waiting a long time for games, Deus Ex came out in June 2000, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution is being released at the end of this month. That's over eleven years! (N.B. We're not counting Invisible War as a real Deus Ex game :colonhash:)

Do you think that's due to the gameplay mechanics? Or the players just being crap and going solo?


it was definitely the game-play mechanics, there are no medics - you just have autoregen health, and the assault class carry defibrilators as default (3 of the 4 classes were practically assault with a different gadget), however the revive time period was so short that unless you were standing next to someone when they died you dont have a chance to revive them, so noone bothers (i played ~10 hours over the alpha period, and got revived twice). and, if you do get revived you are presented with a menu that asks if you want to be revived or die, which is up for about 2 seconds - if you dont click accept revive, you die anyway!

i was bitterly dissapointed, and many people on the servers were also complaining about these issues. i really hope it is greatly improved as BF has allways been my favourite series, and i have stuck with it since its begining :/

That doesn't sound like a very pleasant experience. I hope they fix things up too. I mean who doesn't, unless they're a die-hard COD fanboy.

Just joined :h: If anyone wants to add my Steam ID to the first post it's the same as my username :tongue:

Can't believe that Guildwars2, Diablo III and Skyrim all come out this year :sogood:

Does anyone know when the new Trackmania is being released? :holmes:

Actually, I think the important Steam username (ie the one you can add people to your friends list with) doesn't change when you change the displayed name. Unless you got a new account or something?

Well in that case it was originally 'Jimimick' so...

Heh I thought I was good at Warband after I was busy mopping up the different factions, then I saw the multiplayer bit and thought I'd try it out....oi vey, back to single player.

I found F&S to be terrible though, it's really just a mod for M&B and shouldn't have been released as a stand-alone, especially for the price they were asking for. Though the same could be said of Warband.

what do you guys make of this? I had a nerdgasm upon watching this, but all the cynics it's drawn out into the comment box are making me sad :C

only one person in the industry has called 'fake' so far... are games going to get much more realistic?

Anyone here play crossfire? :biggrin:
