Now I get it!
Characters in bold in my upper post (and other posts I've seen lately) are changes being done by the admins !
It's cool that "gonna" and that the lower case "i" are permitted. hehe
Back to topic, I got the game yesterday. It uses the same engine as Battlefield bad company 2.
I have a 1mb connection from Ogero, and I played the game for 20 minutes at 11 in the evening.
There is Lag like all games in Lebanon but u know, you get used to it, the same way you get used to "te2nin" of electricity, water etc...
Note that the lag is present everywhere, I've been hearing other players using their mics and they were complaining about shooting other players first and dying after the other players shot them back.
So yes there is lag.
Furthermore since it is a EA game, and EA is trying to earn money from used games trade and sell, some content is locked and can only be accesses through a Code. This code is found in the game box and it can only be used once and you can't transfer it. If one day you buy the game used you will have to buy the code for 9.99$.
The Code only affects multiplayer gaming. (New maps, guns etc...)
Note that the Code is region locked, so use the following to unlock:
Create a new UK User on your ps3 (if you have many users do not use one that was used before to play any EA game - So just create a new user with a UK address) (Depending on the game you own, Use the game region to create the new account)
- Launch EA game using your new user
- The game will now tell you that it will create you a new ea account using the email address you used to create the new user
- What you do is change the e-mail address to your real account e-mail address
- The game will tell you that: Do you want to bind the two accounts? (you select YES) (Sometimes this message does not appear)
- And then you download the 100kb file using the redeem code
After all is done, you can change the user and enjoy playing online with your real account without having to download the 100kb file each time.
But you cant access the EA game online store.
As you noticed this is the same tutorial to unlock the online mode of FIFA, but since i do not have the Fifa i am not sure if you can use the same account that you used to unlock the online content of Fifa to unlock the one of another EA game.
And the first mission is cool I had fun playing it. And the Hard difficulty setting is a walk in the park.

Bad Company 2 had the same VIP code system crap. Damn EA.

How are the graphics? As good as MW2?
And the mods are a little over-obsessive. It's not like they're going to teach you new grammar.

Graphics are ok, nothing will blow your mind out. In my opinion Bfbc2 is a better game in both single player and multiplayer modes.

SP is really short too around 4 hours max. The campaign is fun though very fast paced but linear.

Multiplayer

aywa @chosen2k!
I can't possibly play an FPS on a console. I tried, but it's too frustrating and inaccurate compared with a good old mouse and keyboard.

you get used to it, i haven't play an FPS on pc since last december =)

@Bassem. Dude wait for BFBC3 this game is going to be huge and i heard rumors that it will be only for PC.
@Megacool, its definitely another experience. One thing I am enjoying for sure is that I'm being able to play with no lag.
This was one of the best matches I've ever played. I still need one trophy to platinum. and then ill wait for Black Ops :)

BFBC3? or you mean Battlefield 3 ?
Heck yes it should be only for PC, i want 64+ players in one map instead of the rubbish 24 players cap right now.
Battlefield 2 had 64 players MP, it seems the games are getting dumbed down just so the damn consoles can keep up and sell more.

Yeah as if we have 10 megabits per sec to play the game normally.

lol you dont need 10 megabits to play a 64 multiplayer game, I have 256Kb and sometimes play cod4 on 64 player servers, it depends mostly on your latency and having decent upload like 32-64Kb...
Raficoo
just started playing COD:MW2 online and I usually get anywhere from 180-300ms latency(1bar to 3 bars) on Ogero 256kbps... still sucks always pressing Tab and looking at all other players getting below 100 and having the advantage on me ;_;

Yeah i meant Battlefield 3.
About battlefield, look at those battlefield 1942 youtube videos about something called a loopzook and a loopsnipe
