Canceled and switched to Steam

Steam says you can get in the Beta on the Home page, but not on the game's detail page. That is kinda weird.

Yeah, I noticed that too, I'm not too worried about it, they just tossed it up there so maybe they left it out on the games page.

TheMailMan78 · Jan 25, 2010

I wouldnt worry guys.

TRIPTEX_CAN · Jan 25, 2010

Yeah I'm not worried at this point either but I hope we can pre-load the beta before the 28th to spread out the network load. I hate when Steam gets slow. I hope we can do the same for the full game in March as well. I'll probably get my remote desktop ports open so I can start the download ASAP when it's released. :rockout:

The one thing I don't like about EA Online/EA Downloader is you have one year to download the game via EA's services, you can "pay" for an extension to 3-5 years iirc. Just a lame deal in digital distribution. Where-as Steam doesn't seem to care in that respect, install it now, or wait a few years, it'll still be there and updated after downloading.

Yep that's what it was, I'm interested to see how that pans out too...I don't have a PS3, but it's still a cool concept I'd like to see in action.

OK lets say you get a new computer or reformat often as all of us do. You down load it now and play it , but in 2 years you want to load it back on your machine or a new computer do you still have to pay to do that ? I know I didn't have to with my expansion BF2 games, but that was awhile back.
Also will this game be like BF2 where you are a small spec in a huge environment ? Or more like MW2 where you are bigger and it makes it easier to see opponents. I am blind in one eye and the other isn't to hot now that I'm past 50. I still like BF2 , but as you can tell by my post it handicaps the heck out of me. I'm hoping it'll be between the 2 of them because of the large maps. I've watch a lot of footage , but I can't get a real feel of what to expect. Sorry for rambling, I just thought I'd get a couple questions out there that have crossed my mind , plus I don't like surprises unless they are good surprises, Like a BJ : )

1. You can download as many times as you like on Steam. I've re-downloaded games tons of times. Also you can make back-ups of the games you download. Steam includes a neat little back-up utility just for that. When I DL a game I play alot I make a backup of it on my second drive so I don't have to DL it again. Saves lots of time.

2. This game will be more like MW2 with BF2 elements. If you enjoyed ether of those games you should love this one. The people are large and the maps are large. But not as big as BF2 maps.

This game is a day one buy for me boise49ers but if you want you should wait for the reviews and the flood of screenshots that will be on TPU. I might even be doing a review too.

rpsgc · Jan 25, 2010

Hmmm... I'll be looking for someone to gift the game to me, seeing as the Four Pack is getting less and less likely to happen.
Any takers? I'm honest, really

TheLaughingMan · Jan 26, 2010

They should do it call it the Squad Pack.

ShRoOmAlIsTiC · Jan 26, 2010

the anticipation is killing me. OMG!!!!

rpsgc · Jan 26, 2010

Will we be disappointed?

Yeah I know you can on steam, what about the EA downloader though ? What you just described is exactly what I am hoping for. I already bought it so no waiting. I want the beta : )
Thanks !

TheLaughingMan · Jan 26, 2010

I have personally downloaded the Northern Strike expansion for BF2142 at least 5 seperate occasion between system upgrades and failures.

I think you have to pay for this service to go beyond 3 years. I bought my before these new BULLSHIT rules were added, so my is unlimited for life....or at least that is the lie they told me in the policy change e-mail.

EA Downloader I hear you can only DL for a year. Steams a client that you will have open when you buy other games, easier to keep them all in one spot, they let you download the games anytime forever, they don't charge tax (this saves you $4), and you still get that beta key. I canceled my EA Store Pre-order as did many others, I suggest you do too before you get that beta key, granted it might be to late now as EA chat went down 2 hours ago, starts back up at 9am though.

InnocentCriminal · Jan 26, 2010

Anyone been lucky enough to get their key, I haven't had my email yet.

>.<

rpsgc · Jan 26, 2010

Can someone from the US gift me the game? I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I want to get it on Steam and that is the only way (I'm not paying 50 € for it that's for sure!)

1Kurgan1 · Jan 26, 2010

I could toss me a PM, I'm at college right now, I'll send you my paypal when I get home and you can tell me your Steam info and I'll gift it to you.

The last time when when I ordered from EA, it said I have 30 days to download, unless I get the "extend service".

rpsgc · Jan 27, 2010

Oldest game I have on EADM. Like 1Kurgan1 said it's (at least) one year.

(That's June 9th)

TheLaughingMan · Jan 27, 2010

Oldest and only thing I have on EA downloader.

dartuil · Jan 27, 2010

Hello I'm new on the forum but I'm on this site since 2007
If someone have a key to give he can PM me

Thx

No keys are out yet man, for free keys, you will probably have to start looking for them around the 28th.
