Got my code and downloading now - will be on both this and MW2 tonight.

Have a mate coming around so plenty of beer and guns planned.


Scaff
 
I'm surprised how good is this game (or at least the multiplayer in it)!
Graphics are good , map is interesting , vehicles are powerful and fun to drive.
Between MAG , Modern Warfare 2 and now Battlefield there are many good FPS on the market right now with different approach. Good times, good times :)
 
Great progress so far. I kinda wish the player limit was bumped up though, somewhere around 60 for absolute chaos. But i guess that would require more work... 4 more months of polish. More to expect. Also, i notice there are no more red dots appearing on top of enemies. Thumbs up to DICE!

up to level 13 now. almost 200 kills/50 deaths :D
 
Got my key last night and have been working most of the day so haven't had a chance play it much yet, but from what ive seen and experienced so far I know this is going to be worth waiting until March for. Already pre-ordered it earlier this week and hopefully will be able to play it for longer tomorrow:tup:
 
Wow, this thing is a big piece of crap. LOL

KZ2 and MW2 is so much better than this piece of crap. EA game; no big surprise.
 
Well take things in perspective. MW2 probably had a budget far surpassing any of the other shooters on the market.

I think KZ2 was really clunky and not very fun to play.. running around shooting in that game felt like trying to play basketball in a pair of army boots.

I actually kind of like the linear path of the objectives set in the beta, it gives a nice pace to things and keeps it fresh. But yeah, the MW2 engine is way more responsive than this one. But at least BC2 has vehicles, and larger maps.

The chatter between soldiers is kind of neat too, although i could see that getting really really old after a little while.
 
WTF!

Stats reset!!!

i know its a beta but im still disaapointed lol. Progress lost. They said that they 'might' reset all stats, but im sure theyd announce it. My guess its just a glitch. Ill wait 24 hrs n check again. Lolz

Care to elaborate please? In what ways dnt you like it?

Props to MW2, i think its a great game, but really, to each to its own. Both are unique games that serves different audiences.

I prefer the pace in BF, COD is too fast in my feel - a bit unrealistic - w/ i can say the same thing with recoil (not all of'em though). BF's maps are huge n superbly detailed - yet its action pack, thanks to the vehicles. And how can u not love the destructable environment? And lastly, the sound effects/ambience is just top notch!
 
It's better than MW2.

Destroyable bulidngs, awesome snipering. Pure awesomeness.
 
Definately targeting different audiences... clear from the feedback between the 2 distinct camps..

MW fans say BFBC is CRAP
BFBC fans say MW is CRAP.

Neither game is crap it simply may not be what you are looking for in a game.

Personally I like both, but have a preference for the combat style of BC2 over MW2.

..lastly.. it is a BETA.. not a demo. Be prepared for lots of disappointment if you think things are going to be 100% perfect.
As a BETA tester you should be giving them feedback on problems through the right channels... thats kinda why they set the whole thing up.
 
What channels are those? I managed to create a US AC and install the Beta it's just finished installing now. Gonna play for a couple of hours after a shower, would be nice to give them feedback...
 
//forum.ea.com/eaforum/categories/show/31.page <---- Bad Company 2 Feedback and help section : )

Lucky you told us you were having a shower first.. would hate to think you were going to play without a shower !


LOL a whole bunch of people whinging about the stats being reset on there as if they had paid for the game. Too funny.

LOL didn't even realise i had wrote that. Only managed to play the game for half an hour then had dramas to deal with, but im gonna find more time and leave feedback tomorrow! Stats have never really bothered me much in games, they are interesting for sure, but not important IMO.
 
My stats went back up. Up to lvl 15.

If you guys are up for a session just add me: GTP_Masicampo

I actually like BFBC, I loved the first, and I've always been a fan of BF2 on the PC (a game that COD4 and MW2 mimic to a point). The thing is, I can't see myself being drawn away from MW2, its just too good a game to put down.

I like the destructible environments, the sniping, and the vehicles, its just the way DICE handle the way the guns fire that gets me. For instance, 1943 was an atrocious game because there was never a feeling that the gun you were firing had was having any effect, and sniping was a big ole joke! I hope BFBC2 is not from that lineage! :)
 
I was thinking of getting MW2 for the PC, but no dedicated servers basically killed the game for me. And I like BF games' style better.
 
Anyone intrested in a meet up?

19:00 GMT - Wednesday/Thursday/Friday
(NA - 11:00 Pacific/14:00 Eastern)

Been playing quite a bit and was shocked that a couple of my friends have already got the AN94 and such. If anyone wants to play just shoot me an invite.

Pretty much anytime from 3:00-10:00 PM EST I should be on.

PSN CaleDeRoo

EDIT: warning- I've got the worst POS router so from time to time I'll bitch about serious lag. :P
 
Some of these guys probably play non-stop! I think in about a month's time ill get the m60. Its ridiculous, the m16 needs like 270000 pts! I have about 19000 lol. Cant wait for march!
 
I was thinking it'd be more like 400,000! Since the AUG is 82,000 and for the AN94 you need to double those points! But none of us know so you might be closer, and I hope you are.

My times are changed today, I'm not feeling good so I'm staying home from school.
 
Played it for a bit - i just cant play it with the PS3 controller - its strange but only cos im used to using the 360 one.

Anyway, anyone else think the graphics have jaggy edges on alot of things. Obv this is just a BETA but i would doubt things like that will change much.
 
I havenlt notice anything yet... partly due to the fact I'm playing on a 27in RCA from 1984.
