We are all friended up and READY TO ROLL!!

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Oh man that sucks... I tend to just buy more bandwidth when that happens

---

Please support us and post a [Link to www.digitalartsfront.com] on your website.

Wait... you have to buy bandwidth?

---

Yes we pay for internet access in Australia and we have bandwidth caps. Mine is 40gig which is considered very good. AUS + ISP = FAIL

Revolt dude! Take to the streets! We shall ova' come!!!!.... or just relax at home and have a snack, which is what I would do.

---

Hahaha Yeah the entire infrastructure is being updated at the moment. My town will be the first to get 100MB/s to the door.

That's pretty good, but they're going to cap it right?

---

Well I think that once it is nationwide they will remove the caps. They are trying to conform to international standards for biz etc.

I wonder what a T1 line costs over there. I bet there's no caps on that, but around 1000 USD per month.

---

We don't get T1 lines well at least not to the public.. that I know of...

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

What you folks call a T1 line we do get over here, but they aren't generally used for internet access, it's closer to an European E1 line and it's called 'Primary Rate' down here. Used for telephone lines for businesses, 10-30odd telephone lines on a single service.

---

Like VOIP or something?

---

It's not VoIP, they are digital channels though. Usually used into/out of PBX systems.

Nope, T1/E1/Primary Rate is originally (before it started getting used like mad for internet over in the US), and T1 might differ because the yanks like being different but E1 and Primary Rate are the same, a collection of digital channels. 32x 64kbps channels, 30 'B' channels generally used for actual telephone speech paths, one 'D' channel used for all the data overheads, and then another channel called the 'M' channel used for synchronization, etc.

But the 'B' channels really are just digital data, so certain applications (such as internet delivery over in america, we don't use it for internet here) can just aggregate all the D and B channels and use it for intartubes

Over in Europe and America you also have T3 and E3, not sure what the difference with that is *shrugs*, I only know Australian stuff, which is a bit of a weird mess sometimes. ISDN is supposed to be a nice concise little international standard but it's been abused the hell out of in the last thirty odd years

I get 3GB for $79/month, and thats with a 2000ms ping. Atrocious.

What the heck? You must live far from your provider.

---

I has internetz from space! Satellite, because I'm stuck on a MUX, because our town is apparently not important enough to have real phone lines.

---

Please support us and post a [Link to www.digitalartsfront.com] on your website.

--Matt

Yeah. That sounds like a bunch of MUX if you ask me.

---

MUX was a reasonable enough technology at the time. Nobody really expected the attrocious hack that was ADSL for delivering internet. Mind you, nobody really expected the internet full stop when MUX's were initially deployed.

Who's your isp Acaroid?

Internode, but I don't pay for or pick my internet due to living arrangements, even though I use most of it lol

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Got this? it's a filter that will lock steam onto the server that will give you unmetered downloads. I've been using it with Adam for a while, it works beautifully. Might help to keep you under your cap in future.

OH man... just finished the single player campaign...

only 7 hours worth... yes did play it on hard, and I got all but 1 collectable, and didn't manage to find all the comm stations.

but still 7 hours isnt alot...

lucky multi player should be good... once I am not capped >.<

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Yeah the game is really not about the SP.

---

Please support us and post a [Link to www.digitalartsfront.com] on your website.

Yeah I know it isn't meant to be... but why would you bother putting in a single play camp if it isn't going to at-least last more than 1 sitting...
the should of at least had 1 or 2 levels that are like the BF multi player, do a point caps or something...

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Yeah if you played and of the COD franchise short SP is something you would be used to I guess.

---

Please support us and post a [Link to www.digitalartsfront.com] on your website.

But the first COD wasn't short at all neither was the 2nd if I remember...

what is with the 00's and short games...

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Yeah but the first cod's MP was awful. COD 2 started to get the hang of things on the MP side. Anyways the MP in bc2 is awesome in my opinion I haven't even finished the SP.

---

Please support us and post a [Link to www.digitalartsfront.com] on your website.

Yeah but the first COD hands down had the best single player!! and yeah COD2 had good multiplayer.

But yeah Battlefield games are mutliplayer, they have always been really great! But im just wondering why put the effort into it and leave it so short... I guess im sad because i was enjoying the singleplayer and it just ends... and I wanted more

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Yeah I don't know I think they just tacked it on there to be honest. It felt unfinished and rushed to me.

---

Please support us and post a [Link to www.digitalartsfront.com] on your website.

But the cut scenes and voice acting are good, and the story line seems like it would have been more interesting pre-MW2 (and was more believable IMO), but unlike mw2 you are with the same characters that have personality so you tend to be able to make some connection. It seems like they put enough effort into making it an ok game, but when they got to making it, they where like "well you know, we have the multiplayer and stuff to worry about, lets just end it here"
I don't know

*spoilers*


The end when they said "sorry boys but the Russians are invading" I was like "f yeah more game play it doesn't end here!!!" I was happy, then the credits rolled on.. and I was sad again Yeah they finished the story arch, be the way it ended seemed like it could of easily gone on another 8 hours.

---

"Yeah they finished the story arch, be the way it ended seemed like it could of easily gone on another 8 hours."

And it probably will in bad company 3

By what I've read, the single player isn't as good as it was for bad company 1. It was very tongue and check with no real seriousness to it and was a lot of fun. I wish they had added more of that to this one

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Never played bc1 so I can't comment. I'm starting a PC game news and review site. Probably gonna review bc2.

Yeah I never played the first one either, i never liked the idea of fps on xbox and I dont have a gold live account so i never bothered.

---

You serious? Cool. Maybe you can post a link to it instead of having a games section here.

It isn't finished yet, I have 3 news articles up so far. but I may as well post the link. I have still got some reviews to do. I want to start it of small and then expand it later to add forums etc.

Bookmark it and then when I'm happy with it ill make a real post promoting it.

I just read about the new patch coming out for BC2 and reading it I noticed something really kinda cool that I have never even thought of before
• MP – Added support for colour blind players
You play games for so long and you read something like that and you think to yourself "hey yeah, that would be a problem, I feel like an idiot for not thinking about it before."

• Ranked servers cannot be started with a password
• Autobalance message goes to text-chat instead of in the middle of the screen
• Added weapon balance tweaks to a number of weapons – we are eagerly awaiting feedback!

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Wow that is a lot of changes. To be honest I was a little bit disappointed by the roll out of the game it was full of holes and the server issues eventually lead me to stop playing. I might go back now and see what has changed. However I will not be buying a game from dice again on release day.

Yeap I don't play it a lot atm because I am a bit sick of it and all its problems, but im glad that DICE are giving us fairly regular updates to help and get all the problems worked out!

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

My problem is it shouldn't have shipped with so many problems. The game needed another six months of dev time before it was ready. But as always we get the "patch it after release" mentality that is so prevalent in main stream gaming these days.

Why employ testers when you can have hundreds of thousands them pay you for the opportunity to test your game?

Yeah, i know that is why they do it, doesn't mean I have to like it It is understandable with so many different ways to configure your PC, but consoles games they have less of an excuse...
