Battlefield: Bad Company!

Neoni · 3 Jun 2008 at 16:27

So, bit baffled really i noticed two of my friends last night playing Battlefield bad company online on multiplayer, i think i may know of how they did it but cant share due to it probably being trial runs.

Anyone else played it yet?

one guys beef last night he told me was, the spawning needs to be sorted and the levels are pretty cool. he mentioned also how the destruction in the game was a nice aspect.

So a lot has changed from the beta then?

On the official bad company website it mentions something about pre-order and get early access to the demo.

ive played EVERY battlefield game since 1942 and loved all of them, apart from BF2142 which i thought sucked big time.

Bad company might be a little more mainstream than the others but nowadays i hardly have time to nit pick at games downfalls and just enjoy what they offer

i believe they have a redeem code which was doing the email run at EA.

If you preorder the game you get the demo early. It's as simple as that.

It even says so on the official website

Not as simple as that, just found out one of the guys works in packaging/designs for EA so he has access to it earlier. Its a redeem code doing the run at EA supposedly

Looking forward to trying this out, especially as apparently they have focused as much on the Single Player as the Multiplayer. I'm not an unsociable player, but sometimes I do just like Single Player and it will be a relief if the game has some decent missions and AI for the bots

It looks absolutely awesome the new footage on live.

Yes.

People who pre-orderd the game from various stores got the demo a week early.

Oh so tomorrow its for the pre-orders only?

Anyone here a big fan of the battlefield series and play the Bad company beta or demo?

Im interested in to what they think is wrong with BC and whats good. Im a die hard BF fan so i want to hear from other big fans for thier views.

i used to play BF 2 very competitively i always used to be on it, got very good at it too, then moved onto xbox and haven't played since, i wouldn't mind playing another BF installment.

Neoni · 5 Jun 2008 at 17:23

very laggy due to the high demand.

Neoni · 5 Jun 2008 at 17:47

Kreeeee said:
Demand shouldn't affect it in the slightest.

i mean the high rate of users wanting to play MP,

single player is awesome on the other hand.

Neoni · 5 Jun 2008 at 18:05

No its single player aswell mate very good indeed!

defo buying this!

Neoni · 5 Jun 2008 at 19:15

Game is absolutely awesome cannot get enough, brilliant fun, and easy to pick up, no lag now at all!

Neoni · 5 Jun 2008 at 19:23

Just had a go and it's just as bad as the beta. Shame.

I cant see the problem, get on a decent non laggy server, and have a decent game, its BF in all its glory.

isn't nothing going to beat COD4, Halo3, R6V2, or is that it in current 360 fps land, except maybe for GOW2

i think this is beating cod4 atm in my eyes.

Same here!

I resorted to the PS3 version as there isnt any lag on that one.

Doesnt seem at all finished though, seems like a beta to me. Glitchy...glitchy...

Josh

im hoping they patch it up!

Neoni · 5 Jun 2008 at 20:58

5bjoshua said:
Yeah, me to.

Don't expect it though, BF2 was notoriously bad for patches. Dice are rubbish and lazy. Shame as i just love Battlefield so much!

Josh

The game is really fun, theres only a few glitches but apart from that the fun is grasping me, and im not fussed about the lil glitches etc

Neoni · 5 Jun 2008 at 21:07

5bjoshua said:
Yeah. It's mainly the lag issue at the moment for me. I run for a bit then stop and the game character is still moving backwards instead of the direction i was going, forwards.

Hopefully the full game is better. I'll be buying it! I was going to buy frontlines as i love BF2.

Josh

If you read on bad company website, they mention about the lag problems, and they say there working around the clock to resolve it!
