Well I bit the bullet and just Pre-Ordered the Balls of Steel Edition, I didn't pick the fastest shipping method, but I'm not in no rush, I will have time to savor Dukes ownage.

It was the first few minutes of the game. Nothing really that exciting except The Duke playing Football with the eyeball of a giant mecha monster.

Multiplayer info was released on the 20th.

Modes:
Duke Match - Free For All
Team Duke Match - Team Death Match
Hail to the King - King of Hill with a Team, want to control the top the longest.
Capture the Babe - Capture the Flag with a twist. Grab the enemies babe from their base and take her back, but she will put her hands in your line of sight. And if you are shrunk while carrying the babe she will crush you, lol good stuff.

Jet Pack:
This is in both versions of the game, but SP you basically follow button prompts. MP you actually get the fly it where you want to go!

Shrink Ray:
And speaking of the shrink ray, they wanted to incorporate this a lot (good reminds me of old school games, just fun). Like you can be shrunk then stepped on, but you can escape through tiny holes that they don't expect, so be on your toes. But be careful, if you grow back to full size in a tiny hiding hole, you die, lol. And size effects gravity, small you float, they describe it like an ant falling out of a sky scraper.

Freeze Ray:
Another awesome weapon. If you freeze someone then shoot them with the shotgun they shatter, or you can run up and punch/kick their head off. Or plant a trip mine on their face while frozen, good stuff.

Unlockables:
Lots of wardrobe pieces to make your Duke stand out, Hats, Glasses, tons of stuff.

Too many goodies!
I just read the titles of the types of modes and other weapons you just posted Kurgan and I have to just shield my eyes from reading the description because I want to be surprised :laugh:

I know it's silly, but the anticipation of not knowing what to expect is what gets me going. And when I experience it for the first time, I'm gonna just be like....wow

I hope they keep taking in pre-orders for a little while longer because my funds won't be in my hands till next week!

1Kurgan1 · May 24, 2011

Better hurry, if you want a BSE you might have to get one online that late in the running.

happita · May 25, 2011

Hmmm...this question is really whats holding me back.
Lets say for example...
I pre-order Duke on Steam..
My friend pre-orders from a game retailer...

Will we be able to play together even though my game will be linked to steam and his not? Or any other game for that matter.

Chryonn · May 25, 2011

depends if the retail version uses Steamworks or Steam to activate it. i bought BFBC2 Limited Edition and found out it's not supported by Steam, just EA, so i can't activate it on Steam, which is a shame because i can't get the cut price add-ons Steam has for sale sometimes.

hellrazor · May 25, 2011

I thought DNF was all-steam, or is that some other game I'm thinking of?

DNF is Steamwork, even if you buy it non-Steam you have to install Steam, thats why I went ahead about bought the BSE.

Most other games you can play together with Steam and non-Steam editions, just like Chyron said though, he can't buy Steam DLC, but he still plays his BC2 on the same servers as everyone else.

happita · May 25, 2011

I just bit the bullet and pre-ordered at gamestop because I wanted to see what the DLC was going to be all about. But now I think I might go right back tomorrow and return my slip to get my money back because the hard-copy version might not support steam achievements. And I LOVE achievements. I'm sure that Gearbox will offer the DLC sometime after the game is released at a small price of like $10 or $15, which I am willing to pay if its worth it.
Anyone know if non-steam buyers will have steam achievements?

It does, it's a Steam Works game, thats why in the OP I said I'm getting the BSE because of that.

For reason i have been under the impression that steams going be forced on the user. Maybe wait till the demo is out as at a guess steam will be forced even with the demo if it's the case..

I'm glad it's Steamworks personally. I buy almost everything there now, I hate having discs and boxes to worry about. And having everything consolidated is nice. If it wouldn't have been Steam Works I probably would have bought it on Steam. But since it is, it allows me to buy the awesome Balls of Steel Edition, and still have my creamy Steam goodness
