has been stop playing BC2 for few days..too busy at work and not much motivation to play after reaching level 11 and stuck there.

next week is an exciting week.

confirm ended - http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlef...-has-ended.html

waiting for retail dvd to arrive at my doorstep (by postage )

I am using Linksys WAG200G, an all-in-one modem/router. It is very good for BC2 and also torrenting.

For those working and receiving by post like me, it will be more than 51 hours.

the pre-ordered Limited Edition come with T-Shirt?

that's why i ask coz i din see this anywhere except EA.SG. I will be more than happy IF it does come with one but I dun think so lah coz I email TSB today to ask for arrangement of the free poster specially delivered to me (with extra cost), they never mention about the T-Shirt.

EDIT: Looks like those buying direct from EASG can start download the game since today (march 1) 2am and can play the game tonight at 12midnight.

they use poslaju, normally will arrive the next day they post out.

Gross finger TSB doesn't send me a girl size T-shirt. Else, I will need to give it to my 4 year old son to wear. He sure will like it.

EDIT: shoden, yours come by mail? so early the Poslaju reach your home?

EA should allow manual patching - we just download the patch file and install like previous BF2 & BF2142 patches.

the T-shirt is round neck or collar-T? pls post pictures....

thanks... saw it now. How i could miss it?

I think many hardcore BF fan like me pre-order it the day TSB started accepting pre-order. coz we all know how addictive this game will be.

i think EA master server is overloaded with the overwhelming connections.

Hopefully by the time I install the game later tonight, the issue has been sorted out. Can't wait to go home now.

you paid extra to use other courier? Standard free postage is by Poslaju i think. I just call home, my brother said mine has already arrived. Now only 4:30pm....sigh....need another 1 hour to go back from work.

anyway, EA is bad in planning the initial first update. They should allow download the patch file as manual patch before the game is released. This will greatly reduce the sudden surge in bandwidth. I forsee the situation will become worse once the EU and Steam gamers are getting theirs in the next 2 days and start the updates and sign in.

Suddenly I am wondering whether EA is purposely staggering the launch date for US/Asia and EU/Steam because they know their server can't handle the traffic flow if all the gamers update and verify their account all at the same time.

if those gamers from EU/Steam heard about this, they may be happier coz we can't really play much even if we got the game few days earlier.

Luckily I din take "MC" today and then just to find out that I am still updating the game after working hours. But tomorrow I should have the whole afternoon free for it.

Reach home installed. Now patching in progress.. but not so slow... 10mins already reaching 40%..cross finger the balance 60% will be as fast.

I get L-size Tee, just nice for me. Davis, I think L should be good fit for you too.

my update took surprisingly short, only 28mins. Update the unlock code also no problem although cannot see it on the main menu but can use in game. But the problem is only found Europe server now. Frag server not in the list, I guess need to search manually. I think i will play single player first until the next patch is released.

too bad i m getting the connection problem too, can see the server but cannot join..zzzzzZZzzzz Play a while the Single player game though just now.. not bad.

Davis is looking for L. He got XL. PM him.

EDIT: Even the BC2 official web site is down. They really need to be shot for such a lousy planning....can't they anticipate the heavy traffic.

I think i just have an early night and go to bed now. Good night all bros, have an early night too!!

played for few round this morning at SALUZI Thailand server. The MP is kick-ass. As not familiar with the map, kena pwned. Some players has already reach level 12....so fast.

played in Squad DM server yesterday night - 4 vs 4. It is more fun than normal Rush mode. The conquest mode also more fun. Rush mode is my least favorite.
