Guest Ent1ty Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 Just wondering what the scheduled ETA is for BCM. I mean, my local EB charged my card for the preorder back in July and I haven't received the rebate or the box yet. Don't get me wrong. I can't wait to rip open the box and start the missions (as well as the multiplayer).E
Guest Ent1ty Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 Sorry. I just read the thread below about guessing when the game will be released. DUhH! It is just that i am SO EXCITED FOR THE GAME I can't wait. I am a newbie gamer that just purchased the game in July. I am so excited reading about it. I wish I could ge the demos running, but oh well! THE GAME IS GOING TO BE GREAT!!!E
R_wilco Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 Ent1ty, exactly WHAT game did you purchase in July? BC3K?

THE GAME WILL BE GREAT THOUGH!!!!
Guest $iLk Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 They weren't supposed to charge your card until it shipped... Did they give you some kind of reciept or something?
Supreme Cmdr Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 ....uhm, thats the first time I've heard EB charging for a game that isn't shipping. Perhaps you opted to pay in advance?Anyway, doesn't matter, at least you'll get the 27"x27" galactic poster. [ 09-05-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
Scrivener Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 EB (Physical store) has always charged me right away for my pre-orders. I'll order something months in advance and then go add ten, maybe fifteen dollars a week until it's payed off. Ebworld.com, though, dosn't charge you at all until it ships.
Soback Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 EB (physical store), didn't charge me for the whole game. They only charged me $10 that will be put towards the game once they get it, so I will have to pay the rest when I pick it up, and I better get the poster too, otherwise I will be one unhappy camper. For some reason I am just so worried that I won't get the poster.
Soback Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 Be the way Ent1ty, sorry I came off kinda rude, it's just that there's some many people that come here and their first post is. "This game was supposed to come out like 7 months ago. Will it be out soon or is it so full of bugs like the first one ....ect." and that is just upseting. So I kinda took you for one of those. Sorry.
Epsilon 5 Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 We are trying to protect this forum against the detractors, but it seems to backfire on us and hurt some of the good people coming with innocent intentions... *sigh*Don't worry, there isn't much time left!
Supreme Cmdr Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 Yep, Soback and E5 are right. Its sad really that there are those who come here, *specifically* to cause trouble. Just today, I rejected at least two forum applicants, one of them by that idiot Huffman (he thinks I'm an idiot and won't recognize a domain IP mask) who has made his life's work to libel me. I have to feel special, in a way, since I've seen worse of Clinton, Bush, Gates etc I must be in good company to have my own personal psycho. Go figure.Anyway, if our methods backfire, all we can do is apologize. Not much else. This is OUT peaceful corner of the universe and we sure as hell ain't letting any idiot in. heh, one time, I banned *all* aol.com addresses, in addition to all vanity email addresses.
R_wilco Posted September 5, 2001 Report Posted September 5, 2001 I didn't intend my comment to be an insult, I was just curious, as "purchased" implies actualy buying a game box
Hunted Posted September 7, 2001 Report Posted September 7, 2001 Entity if you can't run the demo's you can't run the game sorry man...whats your prob?
modarken Posted September 7, 2001 Report Posted September 7, 2001 WHAT!? JJWell I hope thats not true becouse the demos would lock up on my comp every once and a while, I was hoping the game would be different. Maybe it's the graphics card I'll need to take back, 64 MB nVidia Geforce II[ 09-07-2001: Message edited by: mO ]
Soback Posted September 7, 2001 Report Posted September 7, 2001 Demo has other things that can prevent you from playint even though you have the minimum requirements or above. The game will run on the computer that has at least the minimum requirements, (what do you think the SC is now doing>? twidling his thumbs and watching movies from blockbuster all day long?) he is making sure that all the bugs are fixed and that the game works. So JJ, don't scare people, if they have at least minimus, the game will run.
Hunted Posted September 7, 2001 Report Posted September 7, 2001 sorry guys thought i read in one of the sc's posts that if demo doesen't work neither will the game
Cmdr Nova Posted September 8, 2001 Report Posted September 8, 2001 Demos are Beta, and have problems that will be fixed before the game is released. Just check the Troubleshooting FAQ (that's the link to the one that's constantly updated, so ya know), to see what you can do to the demos, if they don't work.You also need to also check the requirements, like they said. If you have the baseline min requirements, good luck. quote:heh, one time, I banned *all* aol.com addresses, in addition to all vanity email addresses. I use AOL.... I see what you mean though, because I used to make screennames, then harass people with them, delete them, and make new ones and repeat...... Of course, I've matured since then.
Kush Posted September 8, 2001 Report Posted September 8, 2001 Don't worry about the demo. When the game comes out, it will be a fine tuned machine. If you do have a problem with the game (which happens to the finest of software developers) I know one of us here can help. I'm sure you'll be able to run the game just fine.
demolition Posted September 8, 2001 Report Posted September 8, 2001 Ent1ty check your private messages often i sent you a message and havent got a reply

I'm gonna try the demos again since I just completely upgraded my system to a 1.3 GHz thunderbird with 512 MB of RAM ($79 bucks at Crucial). My old motherboard fried this weekend.

Systems that are up to par but having problems running the demo will probably be able to run the game just fine.

Sorry.Soback - No problem. I understand completely. People are always privately emailing me from boards asking why am I such a jerk. And say stupid things. And am insensitive and rude. When in reality all I really am trying to do is be nice. At least you were quick and efficient in your anger, and turned it on me like an angry ant protecting it's hive from a suspicious beetle passing through. I respect that.
