Back when I first saw the big multiplayer reveal trailer from E3.. I said I was confused as the tanks seemed to regenerate, there was some argument with me saying that'd never happen and such.. Kotaku reports differenty >.>

And they are magic, because they're capable of doing something no actual tank has ever been capable of: healing themselves. Yes, in Battlefield 3 tanks (and any other armoured vehicle for that matter) can, if "lightly damaged", take cover away from enemy fire for a while and, if they don't get hit again, recover their health. Just like the infantry can.

Developers DICE say it's "our way of giving smart non-Engineers a fighting chance to keep his vehicle in the battle", but there'll be some—no doubt those waiting in line back at a spawn point for a tank to blow up—who will be less enthused.

No longer worry about asking a team mate for repairs! just go hide somewhere behind cover for a bit, it's all good.... -_-

It may only be repairs from "light damage" but it's still regenerating health, and blah to that I say.... blah...

EA flips lid over steam laws, goes off on own... Activision says "hey, it's all good" and makes EA look like spoiled child... I was debating MW3 vs BF3 for a while, but I allready have steam with a huge library of games, no need for the spoiled child's web page based garbage... GG Activision and steam, just take my money now, I'll be waiting to play. >.>

This is epicness.... much <3 for Dave.. and much more love for young_snide. ;)

Edit: and HOLY CRAP those pants freaking exploded.. if audio is that dangerous no wonder it gives them so much trouble at times...

guess this solves my "MW3 or BF3" dillema... >.>

it'll definately be two 4GB sticks, that was a mistake in my typing, there's a deal for 2 sticks for one price right now.

All good info, thanks so far.. I think i'm going to go for a normal hard drive with a ton of space, the speed would be nice, but yah, space is better. You, sir, are completely right, and will save me money. ^^

I decided to look at building my own PC. I spent the last week or so doing research, hunting for parts, and looking at build guides and this is what I came up with. I set myself a budget of 1000$'s USD, went over it slightly, but i could shave off a chunk by going to a normal SATA hard drive instead of solid state. that'd save me around 150 or so, maybe more, but having an ipad, the solid state is very attractive. Overall though, i "think" I put together a decent system for 1100$ USD.. asking general opinions, if you think it'll run most of todays games and some into the future.... Namely guild wars 2, and possibly tera, the new MMO.

Alright, it's been ages since I've bought a new PC, my old one is starting to lean towards keeling over and I'm looking for something to replace it. The only thing it gets used for is games I can't play on xbox right now, League of legends, Age of empires online, Team fortress 2, things of that nature. I'd like a machine prebuilt that can handle most of the games now days, it doesn't have to be a monster rig, but something respectable that could handle says Metro 2033, crysis 2, and thigns of that nature, games that will not run on my current system at all. I know this is asked all the time, but does anyone have any suggestions for shops/sites who offer decent pre builts with good reputations? I mean, I'd love an alienware, but I can't afford to pay for the name, around 800-1000 is probably more in my price range, USD. So, looking for a little help with suggestions on where to look, as I hate walking into things like this as blind about it as I am, but I'm kinda stuck here.

Epic nostalgia is epic... Great read, and brought back a lot of memories. ^^

I bought Bulletstorm JUST for the gears beta, that was at, but I found a gem in this title. I love the immature humor, and a game that revels in what it is rather then trying to be something it's not. It's not an epic story, it's not a morale teaching method, it's not a "tour de force" of forward technology, it's a shooter..a shooter pure and simple, nothing more nothing less. The amusement value from blowing my enemies to chunks and using the enviroment in fun ways made the game for me, and I still play it to relax to this day. Good on you Epic, and keep up the good work imo.
