Northern Strike now available for pre-order.

i hate using that ea downloader or whatever they call it now, usally takes bloddy 5+ hours to dl and not to mention the installing problems that come with it.

It would be nice if preordering allowed you to unlock NS toys (provided you have available unlocks of course) when the patch comes out.
Otherwise, what's the sense of preordering if it isn't available to download till March 1st anyway?

Everyone bitches about the downloader, I have yet to experience any problems with it. Yeah, I suppose I could rub it in your faces and say that I have T1 connection or Cable, depending if I'm at campus or at home--oops, guess I just did. Anyways, it takes a few hours, so if you really are that desperate to get something downloaded, you're simply impatient. Just leave the downloader running while you go do errands--me, I'm probably going to pre-order sometime this week...I have no bloody money these days.

Well if the beta of NS was anything to go by, I downloaded it in 10 minutes from EA link and I'm only on ADSL. The beta appeared to have all the content, at least there was nothing missing that I could see, so I don't know why it should take hours to download.

I'll be pre-ordering when I get in from work tonight.

Hmm. I was wondering whether to subscribe to WoW - my first month ends around the same time as Northern Strike comes out - but NS is cheaper. I'll give it a go.

@ kptk92 can´t tell you when it´ll be out in Britain, but the German ea link says the same as the American (1st March). Think it´s the global release date.

EA apparently doesn't want me to pre-order... Always says my 'session has expired'.

Edit: A Dumbass is me.

Same here. I like EA link, it's fairly fast, no lines or queues and if you need to turn off your computer when you turn it back on you can continue from where you left off. The only time it does get screwed up is if you blue-screen in the middle of a download, because then you got to restart the process. But I still really like it.

EA Link's decent. Good speeds *knock on wood*, been stable for me. Could be more well-designed in terms of interface and speed (Steam is leet) but it does what it does.
