I haven't yet managed to get it, I figure it won't run anyways, but I did read the descriptive text document regarding it that was provided.

It's fucking hysterical! Seriously.

"What's laughable is that Creative is a 'sponsor' and most of their existing hardware is listed as incompatible."
It can't get more true than this! The majority of cards listed on their incompatible list were CREATIVE cards. However, as a consolation prize, your one Useful Links (why'd they pluralize it?) for drivers was Creative's site. It's laughable that they even wasted the time to make a little formatted header for this single link, rather than saying "Check with your manufacturer."

Another favorite of mine? They don't support any joysticks plugged into the joystick port. Wait a fucking second, what was that? I bet they won't support keyboards plugged into the PS2 port either, right? Actually, they seriously don't suggest any keyboards that don't let you hit 3 or more keys at once, meaning that (as far as I can tell) they want you to go buy a USB keyboard (?) and that surprised me that they didn't list a particular brand)

The more I read, the more I laughed. There were laughs right up till the end even, where they listed another little Fun Links Nobody Will use section. Three of them. "Microsoft, Our page, Our page." And that's it.


Maybe I'm being unfair to EA/Dice, or maybe they're just trying to be ridiculous and force us all to buy only Alienware computers that feature the hardware they support because EA has triangle deals with Alienware and nVidia and Creative that take priority over making a quality, mass-appealing-and-playable game.
