A half-price sale killed my common-sense. Having to be connected to the net, even to play single player is idiotic. Now, with this patch, they've added the ability to BUY bundles that give you the ranks and guns that you formerly had to earn through hard work and game-play. That's right. Every dickwad and kid with mommy's credit card can buy ranks and abilities that you used to have to spend months actually earning. Don't get me wrong, the single player game is fun and has some great graphics and great gameplay, but they've seriously managed to screw up the multiplayer with their greed. I haven't played multiplayer yet as I've only just started playing with the single player to get a feel for the game. With this new revenue stream/feature, do I want to even try the multi-player? Is there a way for server admins to see who bought their ranks and ban them? And there's no map editor for custom user maps. And you have to pay for any new maps. I should have saved my $$. Awards

Once I'm comfortable with the game play I will jump into the multiplayer as I expect the experience will also be excellent. What bugs me are the nickle-and-dime dick moves that the current EA executive shits foist on the PC gamers because the model works for them on the locked-down console world. I much prefer the open concept of COD2 ,COD4, WAW etc.

I still have to glance at my printed keymap now and then. Oddly, my game still hasn't shown me that a patch is avaialble. I'll check it uot tonight. I might even jump into the online game for a bit. I DO like the fact that when you hit the "run" key, it's not for 2-3 seconds like in COD/WAW.The physics looks to be pretty damn good too. Awards

Sometimes I still have to do that myself, it doesn't always work on the Battlelog page for me. Just an FYI

Just an FYI I tried that as encountered a glitch and needed to fix the install, and it refreshed from the 15Gb install file that is stored locally on a hard drive. It didn't pull any 1.x Gb patch. Is there a way to check to see what version the game is at or what patches have been applied? Awards

In order to introduce new players this late in the game, a way to "even the playing field" isn't a terrible idea...but it does suck for those of us who took the time to unlock everything the way it was meant to be unlocked. It is what it is, I'm just going to live with it and keep having fun. Awards
