A few UK guys here...use code "o3gfubinq" to get 25% off Specact (and who knows what else) at the EA UK store.

I tried it here and it says invalid code.

Well, this guy in the UK said he used it today. I Googled the code and all of the returns were in the UK, so I assumed it would only work for people in the UK.

Chatsworth, GA is not in the UK, is it?

Maybe one of the UK guys can try it, even if they don't complete the transaction?

DrPepper · Dec 8, 2010

Yeah worked for me

caleb · Dec 8, 2010

I hate the spec idea . Reminds me of those free shooters where you have to pay for all the stuff in game for real money. Soon they will turn BF into some kind of an MMO like TF2 is now. Idiots standing and trading items in game. Should all be a part of a game extension like it was in BF2.

Volkszorn88 · Dec 8, 2010

That's what BF: P4F is. Doing it exactly like BF:Heroes. Yes the game is free, but if want anything decent so you can actually fair well, you need cough up some dough.

You're not paying for the game, you're paying for the content of the game that should be already included, but isn't.

but overall, its likely to be cheaper than buying the game anyway.

EG, limit yourself to $50 of gear, and get a regular games worth for your money.

Volkszorn88 · Dec 8, 2010

Well, this type of thing is springing up much more now. I don't own any console, but I will use this as an example.

For example, games like Assassin's Creed 2, Resident Evil 5, Halo: Wars...etc all were released with content on the disc, but were either released as Day 1 DLC or later on as DLC. RE5 is a perfect example of this, where you had to pay in order to unlock the MP feature of the game. Complete nonsense.

I don't want to turn this into a pc > console discussion. But if you look at the current state of how money flows when it comes to consoles, it's pretty amazing and idiotic. Xbox-Live is 50-60 euros? Not to mention you have to pay if you want to get your gamertag changed, pay for stupid gamer pics, avatar items/clothes, backgrounds/themes. Same goes with the PSN.

People have shown that they're willing to pay for idiotic things, which now has a ripple effect. Making game developers trying to con consumers.

Then again, someone can easily say "well, don't by their sh*t".

Wrigleyvillain · Dec 8, 2010

Sometimes I really, really suck at this game. Last night was one of those times. Enjoy the tags Highway and thanks so much for your thanks :mad:

Though flanking Crazyeyes and Haru (I think it was) in a tank as they just pulled out of base and blowing them up in under 5 seconds thanks to an alt weapon rocket and a bit of luck was one highlight

this is partially do combat money lost from used games.

companies like Zynga did this to the gaming industry. (zynga is now worth more than EA btw)

Why where several TPU members playing on "Noob N Boobs"? None of you are noobs, though you may be boobs. Haha. Getting that KDR up?

GullyFoyle · Dec 8, 2010

I saw this once in game months ago, and couldn't believe my eyes.

Well, here someone got it on video. "Prone" in BFBC2. Looks like they can't believe it either...

looks like another sniper died next to him and when he hovered over his body it glitched

I'd say he was sitting down and turned sideways, but he has swivel hips, lol.

The games yesterday were some really fun ones. Lots of back and forth (closer rounds than what usually happens in conquest anyway). I believe I got my platinum star for C4, blowing up crazyeyesreaper and gyst_highway a lot, lol.
