Has anyone here used play-sc ?

It's the cheapest for the game.. £26, curious if anyone has used them before and whether it's legit?

Seine Crossing, ps3 footage.

I think the guy doing the voice over should be wearing a tuxedo and top hat from the sounds of him..

oh dear lord the aiming

Why do console users put themselves through it?

This might be the first FPS that I buy for a console thinking about it, my PC gaming system is years old and I hardly game enough to warrant upgrading. I'll just have to learn to use a joypad

It is hilariously bad to say the least

At the 2:35 mark in that vid the game virtually looks like its in black and white mode, literally no colour untill the enemy nametag shows up.

Am I mistaken or did it not say "Enemy Down 100" on the PC Beta version rather than the "Enemy Killed 100" that is on that video?

That was nothing like Rush, that's more Conquest imo.

It was a kind of mixture between the 2, needed to capture the points to lower the shield i think, then it was in to destory the consoles then the core.

And thats why console players rely heavily on Aim assists

Just my luck, I'm moving house on the 28th and wont have any tinternet for at least 4-5 days

Unlucky, hope you don't want to fly the jets as by the time your on most people will have unlocked the stingers and all the other pilots will have flares etc. Meaning you wont last 5 seconds, making it much more difficult for you to get your own jet unlocks - This is also a major issue for me as a casual player with a life!

Is the squad leader concept still there? How are the base weapons etc. are they still viable or do you get wiped with players with more unlocks?

in the beta you could squad on any member of your team alive, or active flags you have.

didn't see any player with the base weapons once they had unlocks, likes of the ump were widly used, reminded me more of cod with its overuse/over reliance on unlocks.

Squad leader was there (sort of). You can spawn off any squad member. The biggest issue was in the Beta the squad system was utterly broken, you couldnt choose which squad to join, the game just placed you in one. The only option in game was join / leave squad. They are apparently adding in game squad management prior to launch.

Base weapons were fantastic imho. despite unlocking most of the Assault stuff in Beta I only really used the AK74 and the M16. There was an AEK that was really nice as well and the UMP was epic for up close work but as all rounders the first tier were absolutely spot on for assault class.

The base weapons in BC2 are the ones I keep coming back to, the M24 in particular.

It's funny, it's also the first thing that struck me. I used to play COD4 on Xbox for a while but I forgot how bad the aiming was. Maybe that is why I was OK there and suck on PC :rolleyes:

I suppose the only saving grace is that everyone else should be in the same boat.

Cheers both, sounds promising! I'll be lucky to get more than a couple of hours a week to game so unlocking is going to take a while!

lol, I think I am going to see how it runs on my PC first. I just can't get on with FPS on a console. It looks like it might run ok on a GTX295, Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz and 8GB RAM? The PC is currently connected to the TV so 1920x1080 would be nice... might be pushing it though I'd imagine?!

Learning to play FPS with a controller is like learning to play the piano with your feet.
