If there are any keys at GameStop, I'll give 'em to you.

I'm waiting to see which one will be the successor to COD4 multiplayer community - Rainbow Six Vegas 2 or Bad Company.

Do you really think a lot of Vegas fans are going to buy Vegas 1.5?

This shitty spin off != Battlefield

The last in game videos were choppy as fuck, the game is mainly single player focused too.  Look poop.

Looks like my question was answered. I should sell Vegas while it's still worth SOMETHING.

I think it'll be good, just not as good as BF2. No console shooter has better multi than BF2.

so unless you actually pre-order, you can't get into this?

does anyone know if I could take a pre-order bonus like this and then get my money back when I cancel the pre-order?

Yay!  Just what I needed; another great reason to get IGN Insi... oh wait, this is fucking stupid because, as usual, EA is a huge sellout who, instead of releasing a demo releases a fucking "beta" that might as well be a demo that they can shut the servers down after 2 weeks.  What the fuck is this shit?! 


Yeah, what, am I kidding?  I just want to play this goddamn game!  COME OUT ALREADY!! :maf
