Rub what in? It doesn't release here till the 26th either, thats why I only have it preloaded. How the heck are you creating Lilith if the game isnt out yet?

Either way, how are you playing Lilith or even creating any character?

You said all you till Friday the 26th (till means before that date) is create Lilith and look around. Granted you meant the 30th, but "till" still means before, your sentence made it sound like you are doing that right now. I am assuming you mean you will be able to use the game on Monday just not play though, wonder how that works.

Shouldn’t be that confusing...but allow me to spell it out again...

I won’t be playing (starting Monday October 26th) beyond selecting Lilith as my character and subtly exploring Pandora until Friday October 30th. If it so happens that I can’t play with him I will be able to get started on my own or playing with people here.

Is that clear enough?

Maybe you should be clear with your english first off, instead of getting snobby.

I already said that in the previous post as I figured out what you meant. But yes you should have said you won't be selecting as Lilith and exploring UNTIL the 26th, then from the 26th to the 30th you will spend your time exploring. Instead of saying Till the game comes out, which makes it sound like right now. Can't blame me for getting curious, if theres a way to be in the game I obviously want to check it out.

Got my Pre-load done last night. Just waiting for the "official release". Steam is lucky that timer is based on Steams clock and not my computer's clock.

I cheated and lvld Lilith to 5 on my friends 360 But I am glad I did cuz I would have made a stupid mistake on the PC if I didn't see/do something on the 360 first.

All I'll say is that this game will not only be better control wise on the PC, it will be a great f'n game all around. Super excited...esp now that I got a little taste of gameplay.

I beta tested 2142 for months and everything I told those jokers was ignored and you know what? The game had a crappy reception. F#$KING DICE was baffled as to why.

Anyway how do you feel about the final product? Did they listen to the beta testers?

A coworker was telling me he played it on PS3 at his friends house and it was a ton of fun, but the aiming wasn't too easy on a controller and thats why he wanted to get it for PC. Sounds like you ran into the same issue, good to know I didn't get it for PS3 then.

Crappy Reception? I remember the reception not being as big as BF2, but the plus 2 million of us that still play BF2142 were happy with what we got....after a few patches here and there. I was not a Beta tester though, so I don't know what, if anything was changed before release.

Yeah purchasing BL for the PC was the right move for sure.

2142 had a lot taken out man. Destructible bridges, sound effects you name it. The game play in BF2 was far tighter and still has a much larger following......for a reason.

Dunno if this was posted or not, but there are a couple reviews out, and a decent video review from IGN: http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/957205...dr_101909.html

Here's some other reviews: http://www.gamerankings.com/pc/94281...nds/index.html

Overall ranking so far is 85%, pretty damn good imo. The video review was pretty impressive...tomorrow after work is gonna be a good night for gaming indeed.
