Good call.

The gameplay videos look good, but 4 kits and no jets?
The  game isn't supposed to be exactly like BF2.

BF2142 and BFV had four kits, and the jets in BF2 were too fast and overpowered to fit into this game.

It´s convenient to have all your games in one place, being able to install them on any machine without having to worry about the discs.

I don´t buy new releases there though, because of the huge price difference. Special deals or older games though I do get there.

Yup the price pretty much the reason I don't buy game on release day on steam, though I would only buy if I can get a nice deal as I could with L4D2 4 pack. Got it for around 34€

Also If I buy it retail I get a nice little Special Limited Edition Artwork

So can deal with it being late one or 2 days or a little longer.

The initial wave at least will be only available for pre-orderers.

Likely the beta will be increasingly open as it goes on, and probably a public demo will be released in the week prior to the game's release.

Hey, it's not official, just speculation. DICE said a demo will be out, and given how little time there is between the beta release and when the game goes gold, a demo will likely be delayed until right before launch.

I heard preordering and then cancelling your order does work too. Not sure about steam though.

Because I want to play online, but my comp won't run it. So when I get a new comp, I'll get it to play online. I'm not going to wait months and months for that and not play it at all though.

A good article about the audio in the game. The Frostbite series of the BF games (BC, 1943, BC2) easily have the best audio effects in a game I've ever played.

It also goes into some detail about the PC version and about performance, eg:

Performance

Naturally, doing all of the audio processing in software puts the CPU under some extra strain. Since Xbox360/PS3 has fixed hardware and both have multiple cores available to do many things in parallel, you could say this is only an issue for the PC SKU where we may end up having less cores than on console. In Bad Company, all audio processing is performed sequentially on a single hardware thread regardless of platform. For PC this means that a CPU with a higher frequency will help more than one with more cores. But of course, there are other areas of the game that execute in parallel, so having more than 2 cores will help the game in general. This is an area we're constantly looking to improve and the results of our efforts will show up in future titles.


The bottom line is that as long as your computer lives up to the minimum spec for the game, things will be just fine. If you're on console there's obviously no need to worry about this stuff at all.
