Unfortunately, I don't possess a half decent computer. Mine freezes if I try to start Minecraft with the 1.4.6 update :(

I'm terrible at it, and I've heard the 'hacks' I did to make it actually playable on my computer are against the rules.
haxz aren't coolzzzz!!!

on topic: well it can give an advantage at time but if you aren't hiding in a freaking bush you shouldn't get caught
My 'hacks' were merely lowering the render distance, which I don't think gives too much of an advantage

Thanks for the intro. I have been aware of this series for a long time but never gave it a real try. Now I'm convinced it's worth my time. Blue_Happy1

Oh yeah, if anyone is interested I'm Ninjacalypse, New Conglomerate, 666th Devil Dogs Outfit on the Connery Server, which is the most popular American West Coast server.
New Conglomerate sounds like my kind of faction and US west coast is always my preferred location. I'll look for you!
Alright, Izzy! Definitely, lemme know how you like the game. I haven't been on much over the Christmas break but I'll look out for ya. I've been mostly playing AoS and some games I got on sale on Steam. Knights of the Old Republic (2003), son! Best Star Wars game ever.

Atleast how I imagine it, izzy is a rich 40 year old.

Well, I wasn't calling Izzy "son".

This: "Knights of the Old Republic (2003), son!" was just meant as a general exclamation.

Although, I'd imagine we're not too far apart in age, since I had a Commodore 64 when I was a kid.

Eah.
I played it in Beta, and followed its development.
For all the whole open world gimmick is cool, disappointing gunplay and uninspired map design kind of ruined the experience after a while. Eventually I just gave up on infantry and went with what I found was the only real satisfying part of the game: the air vehicles.

The faction rivalry, however, makes for some of the best community interactions ever, as well as some great motivation during play. And I certainly can't fault it for being a game that produces stories.

If I could recommend this to anyone, it would be to a Battlefield fan. Anyone who loved that series (except BF3... Urgh) because of the moments it can produce will find a love here equal to or greater than their previous. Just... Try not to focus too hard on the way the guns handle.

On a slight side note, Vanu for life!

Hey guys, how much do you say would cost a PC capable of running the game on decent settings? I'm giving up on my ol' Potato and I'm moving to a decent gaming PC. Not interested in next-gen games, I just want to run PSII, TF2, Portal games and other games on the like in good settings and with around 30-40 FPS(for PSII)

I would say 600-800 dollars would be well enough to gather parts required for a computer that would last you 1-3 years without a need to upgrade.

You all must be kidding. A PC? I'm playing this at 50-60 FPS on a laptop. http://usa.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G73Jh/

It costs $1200 in stores, so if he got it off E-Bay for that much... what a ripoff.

This

I managed to run it in my laptop(not on my computer), but as people say here in Brazil, I'm trying to get milk out of a rock. It only runs on the lowest settings and with a pretty low FPS(I guesstimate around 15). Can't stand next to more than 3-4 guys and it turns into a slideshow.
