Battlefield BC2 looking dam sweet

Some angst from the ea forums when it was discovered the game has no "console"

http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/...75313-confirmed-no-developer-console-tab.html

Meh, can't say i used it often if at all in bf2 aside from checking framerate now and again. Server admins must get some tool to use for kicks etc.

Dices comment on the no console issue:

We have not removed a console from BC2. The simple reason is that BC1 and BC2 never have had an in-game console. Which also means that the game won't be possible to hack in this regard.
 
I would trust DICE more than random EA employees. News don't travel fast within EA and most of their customer support just reads what it says on their own site. The direct quote from DICE:

"How To Get Access: Reserve Battlefield Bad Company 2 is the most sure fire way, but we are still working with some other Retailers & e-Tailers that wish to participate. If you're eager to ensure you get in the two confirmed distributors to Pre-Order are the EA Store and at GameStop.com."

Dam i hate EAstore! tbh i am glad i have cancelled now, i prefer to have a hardcopy than a download, i like having a collection on games!

I'l never go thro EA support again thats for sure!
 
starting to get a bad feeling about this game tbh, little snippets of info are coming out that point to super fail.
 
Links?

What's the news from people who have played the PS3 beta...?

I have no idea what that guy is on about tbh, i've played ps3 beta and the updates they've said are spot on tbh! the game play was fun, got a little boring playing the same map and same game type for 2 months straight but i still was hooked, this new squad death match looks outstanding!

Remember it took a while to get BF2 right!
 
Pre-Order from that place everyone is for £2 more and receive a code to access the PC BETA before anyone else! The BETA is due to start on the 28th January 2010 (subject to change). Codes and instructions on how to access the BETA early will be emailed two days prior (currently 26th January) to the start of the BETA. Please note, pre-orders already taken will automatically receive a code.

So hang on, when does the BETA begin for us non that-place pre-order people?

thinks of configs . this screams of pure console port hope not . think ill change pre order to avp and let the labrats test it first :D

by time its out there should be a rounded opinion and not the first week of rose tinted glasses.

Not every pc game has a console you know. Its fine and dandy having a console but really it does assist the hackers in the long run. If the enigne never had one to begin with and if it makes the game somewhat more hack resistant then thats fine imo.

did you slip ? :rolleyes:

Its not just the console (or lack of) though, its the following

1. No public released server files
2. No pictures of the actual PC game
3. No confirmation of increased FOV
4. Massive Red boxes around spotted enemy
5. Lower Sound quality than the console version WTF ?
6. No MOD Tools
7. No PB Streaming
8. No ingame Dev console
 
I rarely used the console in BF2 anyway, other than to rage quit.

Dunno, even for stuff like fov the console wasn't needed in bf2. On the ea forums it seems people are looking for just about any excuse possible to whine.

I mean does a console prove that the game isn't a port? Farcry 2 had a console for example and that was clearly a port.

I can understand when things get removed ala mw2, that engine really didnt change much between mw1 and mw2 yet they still felt the need to lock the console out. But according to dice the frostbite engine never had one, so really doesn't matter.

meh the only that annoys me in games like this is when there is terrain grass etc that cannot be disabled in options, and then some tards turn it off in console so they can see people hiding in it saying "it's legitimate lolz"
