Also almost all fo the maps are from SP, it's what ties them into the game. I'm currently on an snowy Russian map, I'm betting any money I will come to the area of the BC2 PC beta area. But my last part of the question was also about the DL, because that will be included in the DL so I can't see the DL being under 2GB with that.

Oh I get ya. Yeah the game is 15GB because I don't think it is compressed at all. Plus two extra maps, is making the DL look like it will not be fun at all. Steam needs to get that download ready ASAP considering it has been the number 1 selling item they have for the last 2 months. The 2nd look like a bad day to me, but I am off work that day and I will find something to do besides homework.

Yeah, I don't think too may are worried about canceling pre-orders and such, it's just everyone wants to play on Day 1, and I hope I don't have to go through that pre-load myself since I have a CD.

Also for anyone wondering about performance, I am playing it maxed out, I mean HBAO, AA, AF completely maxed, and it's playing pretty smooth, I might drop the AF or something a bit during heavy action even though I never go too much under 40 fps, it seems to lag a bit, here's a little chart I tossed together.

The spikes are when I'm dieing and see a bit of a load screen, trying to strategically Rambo by popping walls and coming in behind the enemy. So far hit or miss, but tons of fun, enemys are pretty damn smart so far.

good to hear/see/read

I couldn't wait. I find the game runs the same as the beta before the performance patch and I get the same water/reflection flickering as before as well.

Are people against screenshots right now? I have some good ones to share.

 

[digibucc]

the game is 15GB...

that was an error, they have noted. it come from guessing the size during beta.
it is a 6gb download, and at one point there will be compressed files AND an installation folder, making it a little over 12GB. never 15, and we only download 6.

Thanks good to know. Don't forget to tack on the DLC bringing download up to lets say 6.8 and install a little over 13.2. But I am guessing.

What is the spoiler tag to hide images?

from steam forums:

There WILL be a steam preload!

The total size of the game is ~6gb.

just the regular spoiler tag with the images inside.

Your getting flickering textures? Try the Cat 10.1's, I never updated to 10.2's and I am having no flickering, and after the performance update in the Beta with 10.1's I didn't have any either.

I don't think screens need spoiler tags, unless they are story breaking, I just been snapping random good looking things, I do have 1 spoiler pic that I will be putting in those tags.

.

10.1 always flashed for me. 10.2 and the first patch went in on the same day so I dont know which one fixed it for me. I'll see what the day one patch will do.

Never minds. lol

Thats great, must have been playing all day. How long did it take you?

about 5 hours. it is pretty short. i prolly could have done is faster but some of the time enemies would literally warp right beside me and shoot me like i said, it is gonna need a big patch.

What difficulty did you play on?

 

[1Kurgan1]

If you want to see these screens in 1920x1200, just change the "800" in the url to "img"

Spoiler has to do with a Squad Rush location, no storyline spoilage.

Spoiler

You run into the Squad Rush map they have shown, here's 2 shots of it.

Also, look at the plane, anyone willing to bet there will be WWII mods for this?
