So, I've played a little (very little). I'm trying to get the hang of it before being murdered multiple times. I'll probably be murdered multiple times, anyway, but whatever. :) Does anyone know if they plan to have in-game voice communication. Or is it already there but I missed it?

I have been building a computer from scratch. I cannot get my computer to recognise that I have a cyberdrive cdrw. It does not power up at post. However, if I take out the IDE cable leaving the power cable in, it receives power as i can open the tray. Also it is recognised in my other...

Hey guys I've been searching around the 660ti market for the right fit. I prefer the back exhaust style over the dual fans and I noticed that EVGA had a FTW edition, is that considered factory overclocked or no?
