I think so. The thing is, when MW2 was released in Russia, the keys were Region Free. Basically, it was the same game as EU/NA version, only costed 15 bucks. Then, after few days Activision realised their mistake and quickly made all non-activated keys Russia-only. The problem is that these keys(and blops too) still can be activated if one has friends in Russia. Then one just has to replace language files and it's all fine and dandy. Nowadays every steam game that is sold in Russia has a region lock. Well, it still can be bypassed, as I mentoned earlier. The main problem is that you still can't change language in some games, and I play my games only in English, because the localization is usually horrendous. As I understand you mean "Russians", not "Russia". Excuse me if I'm wrong. Yeah, an average salary is around 1000$ a month, but still lower. The problem comes from the 90-s and the habit of getting games for cheap. There just weren't any legal copies of the games, lol. The situation started to normalize only around 2005, so we still have a long way to go. Hell, I even got a decent internet connection only in 2006, it was dial up before that. God, I bet I made hundreds of mistakes in this post.

lol, my thoughts exactly. Anyway, that is some grave shit. As I mentioned earlier, If you want cheap new games try searching online stores for keys of EA games. They're from Russian retail copies and usually region free. The price is 15$ for everything. Stores like plati.ru should accept international cards and paypal without any problems. You pay, you recieve CD-key, you play. And it's legal.

I'm concerned about maps. If they're really going to make 64 player battles on PC and bring back jets they're going to need much bigger maps. And big maps + 24 players on consoles = kinda strange. It's not CoD. To put it simply, Bad Company is a "console spin off", a successfull experiment. Now BF3 is a whole new beast(I hope), DICE promise the return of BF as it is, with big maps and jets and a lot of other exciting shit. Can't wait to rape basepeople with my bros, lol. Also, for all European Kotakuites: there's a nice No Rules BC2 server in Europe - [GV] Official Server. Feel free to join.

Just played the beta. Runs fine on e7400 with gts 250 in 720p(35-60 fps) on "gamer"(what the hell does that even mean?) Tried to play in 1080p, too choppy. Still, the game feels nice and looks good. Probably will buy it.

Just like you. Only better. And... who needs overpriced dlc?

Upscaled 720p. 30 fps. Basically, the image "transition" is more fluid and smooth. It would take a lot of useless effort from me to explain it in English. Try to watch 30 fps video and the same video with 60 fps. You'll notice the difference. Just launched DS2 demo on ps3(and on x360 a week ago), looks way worse than PC version. Also, great death scene(SPOILERS) You can switch vsync on and it will be locked on 30fps(like on consoles). There are ways to bypass it and switch to 60 fps cap. But once ypu play a game with 50-60 fps you just can't go back to 30 fps. PS:again, I sound like PC elitist, sorry.

If you fail at the last boss fight and At least I can play the game in glorious 1080p with 90 fps. Inability to turn antialiasing on is a little irritating but the game still looks good. Speaking of DLC: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=20713895&postcount=66 Just put the save file in your save folder and all console dlc equipment will be yours. For free.

Just finished the game on Survivalist. Death animations are superb. Don't know if should try MP or not.

Saw the fruit fucker today during one of the matches. At first I was like "WTF? I thought it was only in launch trailer", but then I started shooting at him.

We definitely should play MNC when it's released on Steam.

I liked Resonance of Fate, craziest combat system I've ever seen. But the story... well, lets just say I'm in the 7th chapter and there was none. Maybe you'll tell us what you've played already? It would be easier to recommend something that way.

Vietnam maps are very good for shotgun tactics. Recon + 870 = Win. Also, Hueys are awesome.
