NCIX.com is taking orders for the V2 and V8 but they dont actually have any in stock.

There are mailorder sites in China that will ship to NA but their sites are NOT in English lol.

A friend and I were contemplating that but then we got lazy.

I believe the rough unit cost per mouse was around $19 with transport.

Darn I'd like to play this game, NCIX wants $59, so $65 after tax, plus $10+ for shipping... Sure would like to join you guys some day. Hopefully our local Walmart will get it in for cheaper.

If you have an alright internet download speed / cap, and don't mind only owning a digital copy, get it from Steam. I payed $53.05 after all was said and done (including the conversion).


It would appear that I have to update from my 9600GSO as my primary gamer to one of my GTX 260s. Every now and again I get some real wicked stutter and I'm not so certain my GSO can handle what I'm asking of it. I think I only got the settings on low to medium, but with a 260 I guess I can play it with a bit more eye candy.

I've owned Razer Copperhead and it was the #$(%#$!!!! It was awesome and I never had a problem but someone offered me twice what I paid for it so I sold it. I now have a Logitech G5, and I like it but I lost the weights and weight holder for it so if anyone knows where I can get the weights let me know. I also play with my DPI at 2000 and 800 depending on the situation also if Im flying a chopper I tend to goto 400. My Report Rate is 500 I dont know what would happen if I went to 1000 report rate.

The AN-94 is my favorite gun by far. I can't wait to get Magnum unlock with it. My K/D ratio went way positive since I've had the gun.

Hi guys, I got the game today and playing through the single player. i got tearing so have to have vsync on....I've got 2xAA2xAF and all medium settings @ 1280x1024 resolution and seems to be maintaining a pretty constant 60fps, does that sound about right?

It was broke and entirely too easy to dominate a server in a jet. The only thing to fear was the Vulcan guns on battleships.
I used to take out the vulcan guns with the machine gun on the J10. But I do agree that infantry should have had MANPADS(man portable air defense system) they could use on the jets.

The AN-94 is the rifle I've been talking about in TS. That thing is badass! Also I like the ODB image in your sig.

My wife and I both use Lachesis, one blue, one white LED. I had to flash the firmware on teh blue to get it working right, but my wife noticed that she never has and issues as long as she doesn't install the Razer software...I've only installed it to config the mouse when I got it almsot 2 years ago now, and haven't had any issues, other than the "rubber" rubbing off the back button.

I don't take good care of mouse/ketboard...my G15 has been through the dishwasher 5 times, my lachesis twice. Let me tell you old coffee stinks!



Last night I was playing with ONboard, erocker, and Mailman....ugh, got my butt handed to me many times, 2 vs 2. But was fun nonetheless. Then the server got full..real quick like!

One time I got kicked with CTD, when I came back in, mailman's rank was quickly going from 1...to max...like how a mushroom/flower/star thingie changes in MarioKart...but like MarioKart on speed...was funny to watch....was like he won the jackpot, or something! heh.

I was playing Borderlands yesterday, and an enemy dived behind some cover. Naturally, I pull out a missile launcher and squeeze off a rocket. As the smoke clears, something strange happens. The cover is still there, untouched by the explosive death I spat at it. It stands, defiant and unmarked. This is what Battlefield: Bad Company 2 does to you. It ruins everything else.

I like this bit from that link-

Quote:
And finally the Recon has the sniper rifle. So people climb up hills and buildings and take potshots at other people. People who can’t see them. People who sigh when they get shot, and wait to respawn. Oh, and sometimes they drop mortar strikes on you, as if that wasn’t enough. So basically, when they called it ‘Recon’, they basically meant ‘Dick’.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not sure about all the community fixes and third party programs to alter the game. Altering FOV and the toggle for run / aim / crouch program doesn't seem too bad, but this fix affects how fast someone can train their gun on you? Where does it start turning into speed hacking and the like?

Maybe I'm just being a ninny, I dunno. I've already encountered what I believe to be a few hackers. I knifed one in the face, he made the dying gurgle noises, I got his dog tags, but then he turned around and shot me. After wards at the end of the round, his dog tags always read something different, always along the lines of XGnklsdfgX_'1;! etc. Where do these start hitting crap like that?

Built in speed limits for turn speeds. I think some of this will be things they will fix in the first patch anyway, like the gun specs in Borderlands that had too big a font face. I fixed mine weeks before the patch came out.

It is like a virus scanner. It is a reactive system. Once something like this pops up, the address it, but there will always be some time in which they get away with it. That is were the Server admins come in.

Thanks. I would have thought it to be more proactive than that
