One question shouldn't this be in the BF sub-forum?

The lines are blurred. It's one of the reasons that I've been considering, on and off, scrapping the Games Announcements forum or coming up with explicit rules for it. It's vague initial aim was to keep people advised of cool stuff happening across the different games we might be playing, but I think that might be misguided... after all, if you care surely you're in that group?

And if you don't care you surely don't want someone spamming up the public forums with the mess you care nothing about :P

Thats not true, it is not 'mess'. Many people including myself play BF2 so it is important that people post up about this and keep us up-to-date.

I wasn't talking about this thread inparticular Gibbo, if there's a forum for something then why post it it a general forum when the people that do want to know about it would have the sense to join the specific forum...

Gah I can't be doing with BF2 any longer. It's just a pain in my big hairy ginger ass. Another patch, another set of problems I bet.
