Battlefield: Bad Company - Xbox 360 Multiplayer Beta Announced

I managed to have a few games last night with no problems, no lag at all either which I thought was good.

I have not played a battlefield since 1942 (The game not the year ;)) other than Battlefront on the xbox so my observations are compared to other FPS games (Mainly COD).

I like this game, its differnt to COD4 and more like Halo in the way that you have more health and one bullet won't kill you. (Unless it's a sniper round)
So I found it easier to run around killing people without having to worry about cover. The game type gets very boring after a while and the Oasis level is too vehicle orientated.
Hopefully the full game will have a few more game types.

I love the fact you can destroy buildings and I think the graphics are excellent.
The weapons are a little unbalanced and I found myself sticking to the M16.

Overall I think this is a great game, better than Halo (IMO) but no where near as addictive as COD4.
 
I had a couple of games and whilst I see the potential I'll not be playing the beta any more as I was just surrounded by morons. Once I can play with friends then I can see this being lots of fun.
 
Can't say im impressed by this, graphically its nothing special..like bf2 with some haze\bloom effects tossed into it. Most people seem to be just running around like headless chickens.

I'd expect people in a beta of a BF game to at least have a slight clue. It's hardly rocket science yet the majority of people didn't seem to have the slightest idea what was going on.

Edit: Maybe my standards are too high :p will be great fun when we can all play together though.

Its a lot but no where near 90%

Also it seems impossible to be able to collapse a building by blowing away the bottom half for example. (Unless anyone can prove otherwise)

Lastly, most buildings seems to have a predetermined destructablity (i.e. the same parts blow up every time) so they do not make much use of phsyics in that area

They said that you cant fully destroy the buildings. And yea all buildings have a predetermined destructability, but its the 360 and its online, so you cant have amazing dynamic physics without terrible lag and slowdown. I think its decent for what it is.

Why dont developers use the Red Faction "Geo-Mod" engine for some games and just spruce the graphics up? Red Faction still has some of the best environment destruction i've seen.
 
I like the noobs when they arnt on my team.. every seems to have gotten wise to the laser guided bombs.. and unfortunately everyone has noticed this is what the better players were doing on Oasis.. so now you get tonnes of snipers.. who dont bomb or defuse.. :rolleyes:
