Good to hear. They just need to add the health and vehicle indicators back in and I'll be a happy chappy

Excellent. Hardcore mode will make this game for me. Hopefully its similar to the stylings of MW2, no HUD, extra damage (as you said), no cursor etc.
Yep here's whats confirmed about hardcore
No hud
no mini map
no spotting
no health regen
and double damage.
Sounds good. Although i think they should swap it around and keep health regen in Hardcore and remove it from normal. With the extra damage in Hardcore, you'll more than likely be killed and it will take some skill getting away from people shooting at you, so i think you should be rewarded with health regen in this case. Works well in MW2.
Will have to see how it works.

It's not just different it's really bad, it's not "gamebreaking" but I don't see why they've taken out a really useful minimap and replaced with with a terrible one.

Do you really need such a level of detail on a minimap? I appreciate you think it's worse but I'd hardly hold it against the game to the point of questioning whether I'd want it (if you find the game fun, that is
)

I don;t understand where this is coming from, people saying that it's not gamebreaking and questioning buying it on the basis of the minimap.Do you really need such a level of detail on a minimap?

All I said is that the map was bad, to the point where it's pretty much useless. I didn't say it was gamebreaking and I didn't say "I'm not sure if I want to buy the game on the basis of the minimap alone"...
I look at BC1 and I see a nice minimap, I look at BC2 and see a crappy one, that's what I'm saying, why did they break something that didn't need touching. It's a mark against the game rather than a mark for it.

I agree. The ethos of this second outing seems to be just change for change's sake. It's as if, because of the devs working with the game every day, they get bored with it and just fancy a change. Does no one in DICE have any common sense???!!

I was just pointing out that a fair few of the things you listed were bugs. I'm not questioning your opinion - more trying to figure out why it seems to be such a marmite demo

The more and more I play the less and less I feel excited about it. It's fun but it's the little details that count.

is there single player in the demo
There is a multiplayer demo up now, I don't believe it's a beta.

It is indeed a demo, feels like pre-alpha though.
I thought the demo sucked. Totally gutted aswell because i was considering pre ordering it. Il wait and try the full thing when it comes out but at the moment just not impressed.
Everything from the aiming to the controls just felt wrong. Id much rather a console release of the pc version of battlefield 2 id buy that over any shooter.

I'm still waiting for BF 2143, would be great

No reason why the couldnt and shouldnt. BF1943 was a great game! Still is for those still playing i dare say. I duno why the last 3 big console based ones have seemed a fair bit worse.
Dont get me wrong i enjoyed bad company 1 but it was miles away from what it should have been. Cant say much on the bf2 xbox 360 multiplayer i got it on release and my ea account was borked at the time.
Agree, the random jogging thing was really annoying me last night. Seemed like every time I went to take a shot at someone. If its to do with near by explosions then great but I'd prefer to see it completely removed if they cant implement it properly
Does feel extremely unpolished the more I play. I'm still seeing great potential though and I'm keeping my pre-order.

BC1 wasnt that polished and i still played it more than MW but am a BF42 vet so i prefer the Battlefield series to the COD games

Well I developed some loyalty to DICE. It was Battlefield 1943 that got me hooked on to multiplayer, full stop. I'd never liked it before that game so my thanks to those guys!
