  9. How about BC2 or COD? Those would be great additions

  10. Im entering the Battle in Team Fortress 2, i have ever played that game, but I have to let the good times roll!!.

    yes, Bc2 would be awesome.

  12. That's cool, I would play Left 4 Dead, Dirt 2 or GTA IV with you Techspot(if your going to add any of these?). I might get Left 4 Dead 2 for Christmas =)

  13. Cool. If a couple of games I have ordered don't show up today. I will be online. Hopefully my fall-back gpu will work well.

  14. Sounds cool I'll probably be around. For anyone that wants to play BC2 just hit up fellow TSers that play, I'll probably be playing a lot again with the new maps & expansion coming in a few weeks.

  15. Anyone up for UT3? Be nice if we could squeeze that one into the mix too.

  16. Sounds cool I'll probably be around. For anyone that wants to play BC2 just hit up fellow TSers that play, I'll probably be playing a lot again with the new maps & expansion coming in a few weeks.

    Is this the BC2 that everyone (including you) is refering too?

    Also, is this an add on, or a completely separate game?

    First question: Yes.

    Second question: Yes, it's an upcoming expansion based on the Vietnam war, which will be released the 21st. To Steam and EA Store users it will be released on the 18th if you pre-order it. Its only 15 bucks. I bought the BC2 game for the same price on Amazon.

    Until Battlefield 3 is released, BFBC2 is the greatest multi-player first person shooter. (GoldenEye being a close second)

    Yeah, I imagine Bad Company 2 is probably the best bet. I'll have to check everyone's Steam library to see how many people have it before adding it to the rotation.

  19. hehe Earlier this week I bought Battlefield Bad Company 2.

    So far, I know how to shoot, sprint, and get in some vehicles. xD

    Many people would have it through the EA store. For a while it was $20 cheaper than steam. It won't show up then .

    P.S. steamname Furry Atom. Also I'm confused. I'm in EST and here says 12. But on steam it says 1am sat. Which is it?

  21. Staff

    Just double checked the Steam event. It's set for the proper time as far as I can see. Says 12AM and I'm in PA.

    If I'm correct that's Pennsylvania right? Must be a steam glitch on my end. I live in kitchener and it's the same time here as where you are.

  23. Its displaying the right time for me in Steam; 5am.

    20 mins to go!

  24. If you're playing L4D2 I'll be happy to join! I'll be waiting for Steam's Holiday Blowout Sale to get a discount on Team Fortress 2 Add me: Cueto_99

  25. BFBC2 this week? *crosses fingers*
