BC2 BETA... Your thoughts and SCREENSHOTS of it

Anyone else only playing just the hardcore mode? I've just been playing in Elliot Ness Hardcore servers #45 and #46 the last couple of days. Going back and playing the normal mode is infuriating! Only niggles with the hardcore mode though are that the tracer dart doesn't have a cursor/iron sights, and neither do any of the mounted machine guns! Wish there was a way of calling for a medic though!
 
Rage.

The words Attack and Defend mean nothing to these people lmao

Big flashing bomb, oh dont worry.
 
just got my first kill on a guy parachuting into their base from the back of ours, and hit another guy (no kill) parachuting shortly after...bit worrying, with a lot of practise people could consistently take people out as they chute in

I managed a headshot with the M24 but didn't have fraps running. Most of the time I can't hit them with LMGs so it wasn't down to skill! :p

I agree though - it is worryingly easy to shoot down parachutists using the tank MG. :(
 
finally got round to playing it and the game feels way too clunky for a battlefield game :(

bf2 is better stlll imo

Felt really clunky to me when first playing it and thought no! Frontlines fuel of war, but after a few goes started to enjoy it and having a blast.

Bf2 beater? prob not but good all the same.

BF2 has had god knows how many years of patches to get it right that game was a total mess when it was released give it time this is only a beta, i actually really like it upto date graphics and effects make it a more enjoyable game for me.

People hiding in buildings and a tank blowing away at them on bf2 and nothing happening just isn't realistic is it, this is a better experience.

I really don't understand people calling this "clunky"; I have played every FPS under the sun and this, to me, is as smooth and fluid as any of them. When I had my settings to high it felt "clunky". Maybe if this is the first game you have played with no strafe and sprint. Apart from these reasons I can't see where these guys are coming from.
Anyone else have this running fine and can confirm/enlighten me to the "clunkiness"?

I tried the ps3 demo also runs nice but the gfx just lack the cutting edge of the pc, and no aa makes it look terrible.

Yeah, I thought that but till I get the PC version it's all I've got and it gives me some experience. I play BF2 every night it's the only multiplayer game that I have played since release infact since 2005 I have bought BF2 3 times .
 
BF2 always felt clunky to me. The engine isn't fluid like Quake-based games. Understandable given the scale of the environment.

Yeah you're not going to get the speed of movement across a map, as in Quake based games, that would be unrealistic and silly. I thought people already knew that and were calling the available movement "clunky".

Okay question:

Should I get BF2 BC2?

I want a new FPS game, but I am not sold about this game from the videos.

Is it that good?
What are its main weaknesses?

Has been said before to similar questions, pre-order from play.com and make your own mind up. (Cancel if you don't like it.)
It is very good.
A weakness could be it is very much a team based game and a weak team is way more apparent then in other MP FPS's. Your not gonna be a one man army in this, against a good team playing together.
Plus the much mentioned hit detection/apparent inaffectiveness of bullets in non-hardcore mode matches.
 
bf2 was actually better when it 1st came out, that patches have dampened the game.

The good old days when there was dolphin diving, being able to throw (not just C4, but ammo and health) /shoot in mid air and last but most certainly not least a time when many of the guns ACTUALLY WORKED.

It's DICE's biggest flaw, bring out a pretty good game, patch a few bugs and make some improvements along the way, then wreck it all by patching out the fun because of a small minority of whingers who want to turn every game into a simulator.
 
ive just been encountered by 2 people on my team, telling me to switch sides or they will just keep trying to kill me.
im a hc match with 5 v 5, was really odd, i think they were kids as i was called a t*t and they mocked my OcUK tag by calling iy ASSuk tag lol
how funny, they left after i set charges on 5 of the targets
 
Anyone have problems playing with 2 PCs on the same connection?

Managed to get in a game after a few tries the other day with my GF on the same connection but now no luck, usually I can't join her or she just gets DCed and I still can't connect. Tried the +clientport thing in Steam launch options but that doesn't work.


Any ideas guys?
