Battlefield 3 v2 - Now with 900% more Battlefields - Games

So uh guys, I bought the complete back for bf2 on steam and when I start up Special Forces, all goes smooth etc etc. I try to join a server but it says my CD key isn't valid or something and tells me to purchase it. Any help? Oh, and is Special Forces any good?

[QUOTE=Jericho_Rus;29761353] 'twas said in the description of the pack in Steam. :v:[/QUOTE] Dough, oh well. And yes, Special Forces is worth it because you get 2 new awesome tactical weapons (zip line and grappling hook) to climb and get to nice places to camp on, or just get over an obstacle/faster travel.

[QUOTE=The-Spy;29752468]I own the BF2 box set but then bought the BF2 that was on sale for steam. It's so much easier to maintain than the box set because steam auto updates and updating BF2 manually can be a pain sometimes.[/QUOTE] I own the box set too but I lost the key. Does anyone know if you can get the Euro Force and Armored Fury packs with the steam version?

[QUOTE=-Method;29755023]Same, my res isnt massive;1440 x 900, and I have my Q6600 Quad so im hoping they should pair together quite nicely. That and by the time BF3 comes out, the 560 should have dropped some more.[/QUOTE] Ahhhh... I remember my Q6600 paired with my 8800GT. Too much fun.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;29766301]I own the box set too but I lost the key. Does anyone know if you can get the Euro Force and Armored Fury packs with the steam version?[/QUOTE] They are included free with that and patch 1.5

[QUOTE=Erebus.;29767673]They are included free with that and patch 1.5[/QUOTE] How do you start them? Not in custom games. Or are they just regular maps? I believe I have 1.5 since PR runs perfectly.

I think they become regular maps.

Has anybody asked the community guy when BF3 is going to be on Steam? Because I want to preorder it already :suicide:

[QUOTE=seano12;29767330]Ahhhh... I remember my Q6600 paired with my 8800GT. Too much fun.[/QUOTE] There good little CPU's, can be OC'ed nicely too. May need to upgrade in the near future, but for now, its at 2.8GHz on a stock CPU, and paired with a GTX560 that I plan on buying, im hoping it'll max or run BF3 nicely at my relatively low res. Hell I could max Crysis 2's options out on that and my current 9800GTX!

i'm having a problem, everytime i try to join a server in any game it keeps saying my cd key is invalid. help?

[QUOTE=GravyKing;29756111]Started playing Forgotten Hope 2, quite fun, but there are very few occupied servers.[/QUOTE] Ever go on that Co-op server veteran's gaming? It usually has a few people.

Does forgotten hope 2 have very good single player support? Looks good but i'm not downloading it if it's a dead multiplayer only mod.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;29790986]Does forgotten hope 2 have very good single player support?

Singleplayer is fun, and the AI does alright, but it gets old.

I really hope this game isn't 99% grenade spam like BF2 was

I should be able to run this on a 6970HD right? It's just that I have a few issues when playing Crysis maxed out but I think that's because of Crysis, not my card.

I will never understand why people do that. Yes, it will run it, but make sure you don't get bottlenecked by anything else (RAM, CPU, some kind of crappy 10 year old 160 GB 3500RPM harddrive)

[url]http://steampowered.com/steamworks/[/url] Steamworks is more related to a bunch of pointless shit that games don't need like achievements, micro-transactions, and VAC (which I'm not opposed to having (not that I personally have a problem with punkbuster either)). [quote]Now your game can take advantage of a gaming platform that has over 30 million players worldwide and spans multiple systems. Whether you’re looking for matchmaking, achievements, anti-cheat technology, in-game economy systems with microtransactions, or the next big feature in gaming, Steamworks has what you need.[/quote] [editline]13th May 2011[/editline] Although a game with both VAC and Punkbuster would possibly be pretty good against cheaters.

Unless they had it so if PB bans you, VAC bans you too. That would be bad.

Does anyone know if BF3 will have a mp7? I have been a fan of it since Half-Life 2 and it is one of my favorite guns.

[QUOTE=jaykray;29859058]Except the shovel. That's stupid.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I don't think that'd work out too well. This isn't Ace of Spades.

I'm against the request of character customization because if they do implement it, I believe they will try to use a monetary system for items.

Had one of the unluckiest moments in bf2 yesterday. I had decided to go spec ops and was flying in my transport chopper over to the enemy base so I could destroy the uav trailer, right before I got out of the helicopter I flipped the helicopter upwards. So I landed safely and planted the c-4, just as I was about to hit the trigger my own damn helicopter crashed into me.

Every time I have lan parties with my friends we play BF2, Wake Island 4 dudes, intense insane jet dogfighting Always incredibly fun
