BFV is excellent except for a few issues. There is currently al ot of lag on MP servers. Also the Americans M60 is way to accurate and powerful, it results in the majority of Americans carrying the M60 instead of the other kits. Its accurate enough to snipe with. Hopefully these problems will be resolved in a patch.

Great game! The improved graphics are astounding. I also miss the old speed control using the 1-9 keys.

1. Err, where is the VCF? Is it the one under BCM Gold? 2. I would be happy with even a semi-funtional game sooner, however it would also be nice not to have to patch and perhaps lose any saved games.

I for one am really looking forward to the new ease of use revisions. This may be battlecruiser heresy but I think an easier interface will improve my enjoyment of the series. Besides I can always fall back on BCMG if I want a more harcore sim.

Just ordered mine! I just got off of a strike 2 hours ago and this is my first luxury purchase. Although it could be considered a neccessity among th BC community!

I'm on Emerald server, New Conglomerate character KhelbenDrachenfels. I too found the NC to be the most insurgentlike! It is a truly addicting and fun game as well as something to do while we wait for BCO.

Sign me up for round two!

I tried to download the free BC3k from file planet, which although it didn't work,interested me enought to buy BCM. BCM prompthly stalled due to soundcard and other issues, but , when it finally worked with my system I found it to be the best thing since sliced bread. Now I eagerly await the debut of multiplayer!

I like it, for me it is much better than trying to juggle a joystick, mouse, and keyboard all at the same time. I also don't have to contnually remap joystick buttons (damn logithech!). Furthermore, it makes the transition from a craft to first person that much easier.

When MP arrives should we register with our forum name or our AE name?

I relented and decided to order from the gamestop site directly. Might as well get the special edition if I have to wait anyway! Thanks for the info though, I'm sure there are fans who are glad to hear an ETA for the retail world. Hope to see you all in game soon! (Time zones and real life permitting of course.) Got it via Fed EX! [ 04-10-2003, 11:51 PM: Message edited by: HiPingScoba ]

Anyone know who will carry it at the retail level? None of the local Gamestops have ordered it and apparently have zero on the way, and EB games doesn't have it in either. CompUsa lists tuesday as ship date, dies that mean the day it will be shipped form their wearhouse or the day they expect it in store. I am amazed at the number of retailers who have not heard of the game. One aked me , "Watercooler Millenium? For what system?"

I for one think it is very good. It is more of beer and pretzels kind of game like counterstrike, play for 15 minutes, quit and be on your way. For a more immersive experience, and if I have more time I'll stick to BCM. Sometimes it is enjoybale to play a less complicated sim. Well worth the $50 and something to do while we wait for BCM gold and BCG. (The MP, however, seems kind of useless unless you coordinate before logging on, the servers seem kind of like a mini mmporg that is far to big a setting for the maximum players.)
