Will Game ship with CD's or DVD?

(Got-JuicE) #1

Hey just wondering if they will releas this game for DVD or CD or both, I know alot of new games now put games only in DVD because 4 or 5 cds is a hassle but it would really sux because I don’t have a DVD player on my cpu.

An example was I went to buy Godfather and I found it in Canada is was only avaiable for DVD and no CD’s so that suxed.

Does anyone know if so thx.

P.S IMO Counter-strike is one of the most competitive online games, I think this game will beat it, what does everyone else think?

Why don’t you just buy a DVD player and forget about the hazzle to find games on just one format? They’re really cheap nowdays.

Here in Sweden and I guess the rest of Europe you more or less have to have one since EVERYTHING is released on DVD’s only now (at least if it needs a DVD, it’s on a DVD).

Ya I know it’s cheap but I would rather not have to spend my money on it if the game is shipped with cd’s, just less of a hassle to spend money for somthing that I will only use to install a game in you know what I mean, but anyways if anyone knows any info on this, that would be awsome PEACE.

It should ship with both a CD version and DVD version. To do otherwise would be dumb :slight_smile:

Yeah if you don’t plan to buy any more games after QW or if a lot of games still get released on CD’s then I guess you don’t need one, for now.

Really? They must be ultra stupid over here in Europe then. :slight_smile:

a logo at the end of the new trailer says clearly: “PC DVD-ROM SOFTWARE”. who on this planet still works with cds ? this is just the same as if you are still using audio tapes or video tapes … :smiley:

and i think counter strike sucks.

And how many CDs would that be? Seven? Eight? :blah:

Oh yeah, my dream PC, I can see it now:
AMD Athlon64 X2 FX-60
4gb DDR2-400
Dual SLI - 7900 GTX

and last but not least:
32x CD-ROM Drive!!!

PS: Add a floppy drive for good measure

probably eight

Are you kidding, a floppy drive is the ONLY thing I’d put on my machine. That’s right SD, I want QW in FLOPPIES! And not those luxury 1.44MB ones either. No, I want them all in 5 1/2" 700KB floppies… or else the calico colored guinea pig will hurt you all bad.

I actually think I have one of those somehere burried in a pile of old hardware I never got rid of. I wouldn’t wanna carry the game home from the store though, thousands of old floppy disks. I would like to see the game box for that though… :smiley:

rofl reminds me of installing windows with a whole case of floppies.

More like 11 :wink:

Regardless, the official site only has the DVD-rom logo.

So it’s only on DVD hey, kinda suxs but w/e this game owns and I will just buy a cheap DVD-rom for my computer.
But it’s for sure gonna only be on DVD, is their anyone on these forums who can be 100% sure, like maybe some splash damage employees or somone who knows for sure Because I would really rather not have to go out and spend money on somthing that I really don’t need, enevr thought that they would drop the cd-rom and start making games on DVD, but if thats the case then i guess I will need a DVD-rom.

Then why don’t you wait till the game to release before you run out to buy a DVD-rom? It’s not like there is a 6months queue for those anyway… I’m sure the devs have better things to do than to come in specifically to tell anyone if they should go out to buy a DVD-rom or a new HDD for that matter…

I don’t understand all the hoo-haa about this. DVD-rom technology is like 3-4? yrs old… and cost less than a single game…

(crumblycake) #17

Just for fun, about the music for the server, maybe it should be this guy…

Lol! Sorry, I was to lazy to find the post about the music for QW…

(Got-JuicE) #18

I would rather know ahead of time, and do you really think it’s that much of a hassle for the developers to say if the game will come with cd or dvd, that know big deal takes like 5 secs to answer that question, so really i don’t think they would mind, inless they were not sure themselfs
