This deal seems pretty hot. Is it not? I was in the market for a 280x several months ago, then Bitcoin happened and prices spiked so I stopped looking. $200 for a 280 + 3 games sounds pretty awesome. Is the card crap? Not many reviews on the egg but nothing bad besides one DOA and a...

Hi All, Apologies for the new thread. The main BF4 thread is a sh!tshow and I don't want this post to drown in the whining. I'm having a fun time with BF4 so far. It runs surprisingly well on my 5850 at 1900x1200. My only gripe is that the X360 controller I use for flying jets and...

I may be an anomaly or something but the game has been flawless for me on the rig in my sig. I haven't crashed once and the only technical issue I've had is that distant sounds once cut out on me for a round. I'm actually completely shocked at how well my 5850 has held up. I was going to...

What does it do to performance if you use a bit of both? Seems that setting Post to low or medium may protect general image quality while pairing with 2x MSAA would help smooth poly edges a bit. Or do I have it all wrong and mixing the two causes all kinds of calculation collision that...

Beta performance has been ok on my current rig which is somewhat shocking. Looks like going from 5850 -> 7970 is the right move to 1920x1200 to max everything out. I haven't done much reading about the next generation of gpu's, but prices seem pretty good right now and, as far as I can tell...

Before any of you give me hard time, I have very little time to game these days and I've played very little besides BF3 since it came out, so I'm sure I'll get my moneys worth out of BF3 as well. I'm a bit confused about what version to pre-order. I know I'm going to get BF4 and I know I'm...

This. I liked the single player fine in COD4, and the multiplayer was enjoyable and brought some new things to the table (perks, weapon variety, kit options), but, besides the atrocious respawn system, the one thing that ruined the game more than anything was kill streaks. Constant artillery...

Yeah, I'm aware of the sway and holding breath. I'm saying that even with my breath held, or on a bipod, I will have the crosshairs perfectly on an enemies head, and it looks like it hits them (i.e. the tracer goes through the face portion of the model, or at least appears to) but it doesn't...

Is it just me, or do sniper rifle rounds not land right on the reticle? I'm not talking about bullet drop, but just in general, I'll have my crosshair right on an enemies head and it will miss even though it looks like the tracer practically goes through his face, just missing left or right. Is...

Also, according to this symthic post it seems there are no IFV's (LAV/BMP/BTR) or medium transports (HMMWV/VODNIK). Not that it's a big deal, but the variety would be nice.

I only managed about an hour on Alborz and I spent 90% of it in an attack heli. I felt like I'd learn the map and routes faster flying around. Turns out I'm just as bad a pilot as before, but at least there's plenty of real estate to work with to try to out-range lock-ons. Overall it seemed...

Ugh AA missiles are terrible. Was playing as RU on Wake and the US stole our attack chopper. I spent a solid 10 minutes trying to shoot the thing down with the IGLA (of course no SOFLAM to be found so the Jav was not an option) until I got pissed off and switched to the RPG. Managed to shoot...

Soooo close to service starring all the non-sniper rifle primaries. I know it's not much of an accomplishment this far after release, but with my limited play time it's still pretty exciting to know I'll have put all the guns through their paces before settling on a smaller population of...

I wound up pretty disappointed and not buying much as well, but it's probably for the best. I've got a ton of games I've still not completed from previous Steam sales (namely Mass Effect 1 & 2). I suppose you could say I learned my lesson. All I bought was Trine 2 ($3.75) and Red Orchestra...

I snapped up DA:O for free. I'm not a huge RPG guy, but I've heard it's great. Honestly Origin has been pretty good to me. I got BF3 pre-ordered for $40 + free Dead Space 2 by going through their support chat thing, and now free DA:O. That's $40 for around $100 in AAA games. I also...
