Wow, who woulda thunk it? DICE have released a massive (1.9GB) update to Battlefield 2. There’s a huge list of changes, including proper Vista support, support for more than 2GB RAM, and many tweaks and fixes. I noticed the addition of an aim deviation when going prone, maybe that’ll spoil things for those annoying prone-hoppers…
Oh, forgot to mention they include new maps and the Euro Force and Armored Fury expansion packs totally free.
If you’re on iiNet download it from 3FL.
Oh yes, the classic returns in glorious HD (via ShackNews). Croteam have also release a hilarious “supermercial” advertising their new game.
More definitionier than ever!
Just found out from this forum thread the new QuakeLive update includes these Mac OS X fixes (among others):
Hooray!
QuakeLive is now available for Mac OS X and runs pretty sweet on my MacBook Pro. I had some trouble initially with window control, the screen would go black and I could hear the game, but not interact with it. That seems to have sorted itself out. I’ve had a few Firefox and Safari crashes as well because of the plugin.
Lookout for EvEm Braaaainz if you’re ever on a Sydney server.
I was totally blown away by how awesome this game looks. I was a big MechWarrior 2 fan, bought a Microsoft Sidewinder Joystick just for the game which had a throttle slider and torso twist on the stick. Check it out:
Kotaku reports that Harmony Gold, the owner of the Robotech brand, says the Mechs look a bit too similar to Robotech mechs!
[Update]: Updated the YouTube video, the previous one was removed by Harmony Gold!
