funny how it says "free", when maps, guns and stuff like that used to be free all the time... how times have changed

 Not for PC gamers...nothing's really changed.


I think his point is that it's kinda sad that publishers get away with charging console owners for stuff that they should be expecting to get free.  To be fair, Xbox Live started it.  So blame Microsoft lol.

I'd get Steam for sure...the automatic updates combined with the Steam Community overlay makes it great for chat. edit: I forgot you can use the Community overlay even if you buy a non-Steam game anyway.

Except for today I guess...the overlay causes the game to crash. ಠ_ಠ
Should be patched within a few days though.

You can have the overlay in a non-steam game. Just add it to steam. I was pretty late in discovering this, but it's a cool feature. Automatic updating is a great advantage for steam though. The other advantage is that you're giving a lot more money to the developer than you would buying through retail.


 Wow, I just added Battlefield 2 to the Steam launcher and being able to have the overlay is pretty sweet.

Yeah, I was playing WoW with it on earlier... never thought I'd be playing WoW with the Steam overlay.  Very cool feature.

Here is some screenshots of the new maps (I took them myself)

 

Chinatown

 

Broadcast

 

Creek

 

Killhouse

 

 

I love them all, Creek gets on my nerves a bit though.

I like the server selection screen on the PC much better than the join system on xbox live. Sometimes its fun to play with more players and sometimes its fun to join small games 2vs2 to 5vs5. I like having the options to see all the games being played with how many players are in them, the server options, the map, etc.
