Hey, i know this has been something of a hot topic of late, im not trolling, just move along if your not interested. However, i'm really dissapointed that i cant run bad company 2, i thought my rig was good, not great by any means, but its ok.

I have:
Corsair 550w PSU
PNY 8800gts 512mb
Gigabyte p35 ds3l (socket 775)
e8400 @ stock 3.0ghz (one of the best core 2 duos ?)
Antec 300 Tower
4gb Corsair 800mhz ram
500gb Samsung HDD
200gb Maxtor HDD
500gb Seagate External HDD

I think the problem is my monitor.. i got it off ebuyer, its http://www.ebuyer.com/product/161787 @ 1920x1080 which i think is why it runs so bad.

I get like 15 fps on low (if that) with everything turned off e.g. AA AT

Any help on why im having this problem? thanks.

The monitor really isn't why, maybe your resolution is abit high considering you have 512 MB Video ram, but you should also tell exactly what settings you run it at, and your operating system.

Also, Bad Company 2 is VERY CPU Eating, try getting something quad.

A FPS (Battlefield: Bad Company 2)

A Co-Op game (Half Life 2 Deathmatch)

A RTS (Battle for Middle Earth 2: Rise of the Witch King)

Just the ones I play at the moment

You're right, it is.

Something about breast implants is the key to saving the planet?

Won't bother playing it anyways, the whole future theme made the game bad imo.

I voted Diablo 2

I hated Red Alert 2, the entire future thing got me off the series.

That's a hard choice, personally I would go with Bad Company 2 because it lasts longer. But they are both great games, personal favorites.

I think it will apply to any steam game - that's pretty much how it works now.

Also, curious to see how this goes for mac seeing as the average mac is pretty terrible in the way of graphics.

No, it will only work with the games valve developed, all the source engine games, the other ones would have to be ported by their respective developers

Stand still and crouch, and fire in bursts, max. 3 bullets a time with XM8 or you won't hit anything.

If you like to just shoot you should be medic, low recoil on those LMG's especially the M249

Steam and Impulse does it 2 months after release if your lucky, but that's with games that doesn't sell good.

D2D has the lowest price for downloads Amazon has the lowest in general but to ship it from the UK to Denmark would cost about 40 pounds in total

So I quess I'll just buy it on D2D

By the way can anyone recommend any download stores where its under what would be 35 Pounds/38 Euro for BFBC2
