Battlefield BC2 looking dam sweet

[Frapple]

Not too bothered about the 32 player limit, only used to play 8v8/16v16 anyway on 64 player maps, long games, huge points.

Only things that are bothering me are;

The massive lack of recoil, what is this...Call of Duty?
FOV
No prone

All can be contributed to the old and tired hardware of the PS3/360.

Can't control recoil on analogue sticks, screw it, remove it.
Can't render much without getting poor frame rates, even at 1138x640 or whatever the native resolution this is up-scaled from, reduce FOV to stupid levels.
Can't see players going prone on PS3, remove it.

Can't wait for new consoles, partly to get rid of DX9 mainly to at least start running games natively in TrueHD (i.e. 1920x1080) at ~40FPS+

Also is it me or does everything in this game look bigger, like everythings better proportioned and looks more to scale than in past bf games? Sound wise i love how the gunfire changes depending on where he's at, indoors it sounds very different.

This is exactly what I'm thinking when watching these videos, the sense of scale is way, way better than in BF2, which quite frankly looks cartoony in comparision.

Massive lack of recoil? Are you watch the same vids as i am? Watch the 4 vids i linked above, recoil seems pretty obvious in most of them. Probably be more obvious in the pc version.

Single player? Whats that?

Yeah not sure why they made a single player side to the game, could have just focused on the multiplayer, like more maps. Single player will get pretty quick forgotten.

It's a shame we won't be getting that map in the pc beta its a snow covered one from what i been reading.

BF BC on the consoles had a single player side so i guess that's why its on 2.

Wheres the best place to get my pre order in for the pc version?

 

[KNiVES]

Single player does look pretty cool though. No denying that the main attraction is the multiplayer however!

Because it's their answer to modern warfare 2. Look at the title even " Bad company 2 - modern combat". Even looks similar.

i hope the single player will be decent

Yeah i agree with this, the recoil on the beta was if anything to much, you had to constantly stead and drop your aim down!

Arica Harbor (beta map) was nothing special at all. Port Valdez will feature the Black Hawk helicopter.

Yeah and he last scene in the vid showing a massive battle in a major city. oohh thats a headline grabber.

Only its not called bad company 2 modern combat, its called Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Im pretty sure that the full version of Arica will feature the apache and the hind, theres seome footage floating about in trailers etc showing the apache on what appears to be Arica. Could possibly be just another desert but Arica looks to be big enough to let Helo's be useful.

This is looking great. I played BF2 to death despite its own flaws but sold it a while back. Going to get this pre-ordered on pay day methinks, the sounds and player feedback come across as quite realistic.

What will be the best way into the BETA? Will every pre order place offer it?

 

[phill1978]

one thing that really stands out is the sound quality on this game compared to most.

spot on !

really atmospheric you really just want to crank it. on cod4 it was ok but i never really wanted to lift the volume but on bf (ps3) i loved pushing my system to the limit (about 1200w of genuine power )

awesome sound really makes the game atmosphere
