- Buy Euro Force Here!
I dont even get the option to "buy now". I think EA fixed this whatever you want to call it because whenever I click the link, it takes me to a different page.
looks like EA caught on. they fixed their bug hah
thats what i get as well(EUS)Gen.BadSnipaDay wrote:

maybe they have a spy in their ranks, from the actual playing community, that deliberately releases things early so some of us can try em out.

I would be very sad if they started banning accounts for buying leaked products. I highly doubt they would go that far, but hey, its EA were taking about...
Glad I didnt (just to be on the safe side).

i wouldn't worry, even if you had. i'm sure its just a bureaucratic stuff up, rather than a technical one - most people I know are playing on the leaked patch - and they wouldn't ban accounts running the leaked download because, after all, it was paid for. they would have to give a refund in order to ban an account - and as you say it's EA we're talking about: can you see them returning money?No_Smoking wrote:

Well I was gonna but then I could'nt....no buy link,I can wait.
yeah most likely im wrong. but big time companies will go through hoops to make a few bucks.. I could see them saying something like "well we didnt release it, so..... no soup for you!"oberst_enzian wrote:

mind you the few people that did buy it, probably doesnt add up to much so haha.. who knows. i'm just being cynical
Maybe what this could be is a larger scale test before they offically release it later in the month. I have been to the EAdownloader site and do not see the buy now link, maybe not looking hard enough since I am at work at the moment.
The screen that link brings me to doesn't have an option to buy it. Does this only work if you already bought SF using the EA downloader? I don't have that and I guess you can only get the EA Downloader after you purchase something....which I'm not given the option to do.

Everyone can download the EA downloader here:
http://files.ea.com/downloads/eacore/ead-installer.exe
They no longer enable you to buy Euro Force.
You need a EA downloader account that bought Euro Force to download it in the downloader.

what is happening is that someone found an active purchase link.you need to buy through ea not the downloader.once bought you can then download and install.its possible the link was enabled for the release last month but not disabled when the release was put back.i bought ea software from an ea site its hardly grounds for a reset.
I was able to purchase, download and install it about an hour ago remotely from work. My biggest concern is that since it has not been officially released that there is a possibility that they could change something before release. If that happens I would need to redownload and install. Since I have already purchased it it will stay active in my account. At worst, I might need to reinstall the game from scratch, but that would be unlikely.
My biggest reason for doing it now as opposed to waiting was that when I downloaded SF on the day that it came out - it took forever.
So, if they don't change anything I've gained. If it requires a new download of EF and a reinstallation I haven't lost anything. If it requires me to reinstall from scratch I will lose. But, considering the time frame, I doubt they would hold up the release unless they found a major "show stopper" bug. And i think thelikelyhood of that is small. Especially since EF is not adding any new "technology" to the game just, maps, weapons, and vehicles.
Oh well, I'll probably end up eating my words and have a couple of EA "Associates" knocking on my door real soon. See you all in 5 to 10 years!

It's sort of funny in a way. They can fix a fucking leak(which gives them money), but they can't fix the red nametag bug? (which pisses their customers off)
I really don't fucking get it.

Hope this will force them to release it for all.
Cant understand their corporate politics.
It must be in a Director's horoscope that the game has to be released on day X.

downloaded at 5pm EST and installed just now without a hitch. nice maps. must go play.
i'd guess it's just the hazard of running a large international business - deparments are bound to get out of synch, memos get lost, etc...a1911 wrote:

although, as stated above, i hope for the sake of those that already have it that there aren't any other changes yet to be put in - i seem to recall that 1.21 was supposed to be released before EF? since it hasn't, one assumes they're still testing it, and therefore, if the test shows up something bad... hmmm. let's hope not.
in any case, if they fool with it and the people that already have it have to redownload or something, i sure that money won't be an issue as they could hardly treat customers who have paid them so badly - i'm sure that would be illegal, given that it was their mistake.
