thisboyshouts Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 i've got an XPS M1530 too, bought it about 6 months ago, identical spec except mine is just 1.66ghz it runs well - the match engine is mostly ok , sometimes it runs smoother than others, i think that's down to optimisation of the coding and it may well look better in future patches. but yeah, no complaints. it's a gorgeous laptop!

King Kenny Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 You may be able to run the damn thing... but will you win? Well Zimmerman, that is an excellent question! I was gonna put all my eggs in the Torres basket, but apparently his stats aren't too good! tbh, after reading some of the threads, just getting to work is gonna be a result!

stevie_G_32201 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 getting told tactics doesnt bother me as i always create my own. (and very wild they usualy are too ) but the players that would probably ruin it a little bit. the one tactic i had for 08 i had 2 AMC an AML, AMR and a lone striker. i had a lot of success with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
