Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

@KaiserGX

Get VVVVVV next time you're on Steam. It's $5 and it's awesome.

It's Battlefield/Medal of Honor day.

Might get the Battlefield 2 complete collection since the specs are lower and it's only $5.

I could never get into Battlefield.

I bought Crysis when it was on sale and I've tried to play it. However, this seems to be inpossible at the moment. Whenever I try to play it, it asks for the CD key. I have the real key but when I put it in there it just keeps asking it for again and again. I've read some forums and noticed that I'm not the only one who has this problem. But I would have liked to get to play it......don't really know what the problem is and hopefully it will be resolved soon.

Meantime I'm going to enjoy Mass Effect 2.

2 days and the problem still hasn't been fixed

Rrgh, my PC can't run Battlefield 2. I really need to upgrade my PC. Now to find a good Popcap game for my mom for Mother's Day. _{Probably Zuma or Bejeweled, she doesn't like PvZ}

I believe it is some sort of authorization issue between the Steam and EA servers. It is Mother's Day, so I doubt there will be a ton of people working on the issue this weekend.

Battlefield 2 servers are down?? Will they be back up? Because I wanted to get that game.

I'm thinking about getting a new harddrive (I currently only have 10GBs left). Anyone have any brands they like/hate or suggestions for hraddrives?

@V8 My Seagate hard drive has been treating me well.

The current best two harddrives available are the WD Caviar Black and that Samsung F3 Spinpoint. The F3 being so much cheaper, usually wins that battle .

Did you try lowering the resolution? That sometimes makes the difference between can't and perfectly fine for me.

@Ravage I haven't bought it yet, and I checked the specs. It's almost always my stupid graphic card. 96 MB of VRAM, no Shaders

Well, luckily Battlefield 2 Complete runs well on my laptop, even on high settings. Tried some singleplayer, which was pretty good. But I'm TERRIBLE online at the moment xD

@irk My netbook that is the schools so I can't install games and stuff is better than my current desktop

I'm sure if I didn't have to switch between Mac and PC I would play Battlefield a lot more than I currently do.

EDIT: Anyone wanna buy me Vietnam?

No

I got battlefield 2 but it isn't recognizing I have the expansion pack

My Crysis has finally been fixed yay. Now lets see how my crappy rig can run this game...
