Anyone else bloody pumped for this game?
For those who do not know what a Battlefield game is, they're a series of popular FPS games based around large maps, vehicles and destructible environment, and a glorious sound engine. The game boils down to a war with the Russians and the US, with the Russians winning and the US going on the defensive, apparently Mainland Europe doesn't exist or is neutral in the BF universe.

Is Game going to have the beta access on the 28th? If not I will stick with steam for sure.
Also this isn't the spiritual sequel to BF2, that will be BF3 which is probably not coming out until 2011 probably. I am ridiculously excited about this game, especially after the disappointment of the new COD game.

I watched some vids and it looks VERY good, but I thought 'Bad Company' is the console variant that is missing things we bf2 players take for granted? I heard its limited to 24 players and the maps are a quarter of the size of bf2. Does anyone know if this is true? -omg-

It's been rumoured a lot but I haven't found any actual proof that there will be, its supposed to have lowered health, limb damage of sorts, but I haven't seen anything as said.
What do people think about the specialization system? the tank sensor looks amazing.

Originally by: Irida Mershkov Battlefield game is, they're a series of popular FPS games based around large maps, vehicles
This is part of the real battlefield series. Bad company or Heroes really doesn't fit into the standard Battlefield genre.
Battlefield 1942, Vietnam, 2 and 2142 all have the same theme and style of gameplay. Bad company is just a game that EA made and decided it would get a better response from the public if it was associated with the Battlefield series.
Battlefield Heroes is just atrocious, it fails to work and EA have made absolute bull**** figures of the amount playing the game. The forums are worse than Eve, awash with complaints about not working and no one ever playing it yet EA announcing that millions are online at the moment etc.
Having said that... Bad company isn't a bad game and I will look forward to playing it when I eventually get round to doing so.

Bad Company IS focused a lot more on infantry battles rather than just Tank on Tank action, thankfully as lesser vehicles gives the remaining ones more importance, which works better in my opinion.
Real Battlefield fans don't admit Heroes ever exists. Shootin' up Russians in da hood on Bad Company 2 Beta. WE NEED A MEDIC OVER HERE

PC Beta opened today apparently, if you pre-order from the relevant retailers (list is on the official website; not hard to find).
I pre-ordered my copy last night from Play.com (one of the UK retailers with access to the beta as part of your order) and I'm waiting for the e-mail for instructions on how to download and access it. Apparently Play are aiming to have the codes out to new orders within 24 hrs and anyone who ordered before 26th should already have their code and access to the beta.
I have high hopes for this game, particularly as MW2 is such a let down (way too many cheating ****s and no way to kick them.... lack of dedicated servers 4tl). MW2's prestige system is a joke as well; hacks abound for it which makes the slow crawl through the ranks all the more irritating when you are swimming against a tide of wallhacking, aimbotting bastards with everything unlocked that you grind so hard for.
I never thought I'd miss snotty 12 year olds with admin rights and a predeliction for booting folk for the merest hint of a naughty word whilst playing a game in which you murder thousands of people with an interesting variety of weapons and vehicles.
Is anyone in the UK in the Beta yet? I can't be the only one who has been looking forward to this.

Edited by: Jago Kain on 28/01/2010 19:19:26 Hmmm...
Play have had their 24 hours (as stated on the website I should have had the e-mail by now) so I phoned up customer services to see where my code was.
The guy at the outsourced call centre told me to wait for the mail. When I told him I'd already waited 24 hrs which is why I was calling, he repeated his instruction and then hung up on me.
Interesting support technique.
edit; woo-hoo.... a second call got me through to someone who actually managed to sort the problem out. Expect to be shot in the head from a distance soon.

Awesome to play four player!
Edit: Also paradropping in for the first base is one of the best experiences in a multiplayer game ever, MW2 don;t have **** on this.

Spawn menu and the victory screen?
Quote: Sound engine needs serious work
Battlefield has the best sound engine currently out.

Not sure how this changes anything, have you not ever played a Battlefield game before?

third actually and i wont be picking this one up at all.
And yeah sound engine is pertty horrible normally I wouldnt notice it because most games get the engine right but this games engine is way off there is something utterly misplaced about noise generation and breaks game playing experince, Im almost better playing this game on mute.
Bad Company was always promoted to be a single player game as well, which imo they should have left out entirely and spent more time polishing the graphics and fixin the sound engine.
All I am feeling playing this game is EA's attempt to recapture thier lost glory when IW stole thier throne from them. EA is about to do it again with a Mordern Warfare MoH game soon.
If the actual game is any better than the demo, then they need to work on making thier demos better because the demo turned me off entirely to the point I aint going to buy. Pre-order your Sisters of ≡v≡ Exploration ship today, Updated 10JAN10

Yeah I tried the demo too and it is certainly lacking.. Alas that won't stop the vast majority of tools from buying it anyways just like mw2.

Just finished a good hour-long session and so far from what I can tell it needs a bit more work, but the potential is there for sure. Was very laggy and I was getting pretty crap frames-per-second (I run twin GTX275's in SLI). Hardcore Call of Duty fans need not apply. One thing about this game and all the Battlefield games really is that it takes a lot of bullets flying in a target's direction before they die. With CoD games, you can down another player in like 3 rounds. I do like the game overall though, that's for sure. It has a nice mixed feeling of being futuristic whilst still staying in our time period. All in all, I think EA has a solid game, but there is room for improvement.

The game feels quite a bit sped up to the last one, you kill people faster, sure, but everyone else moves a lot faster, can only get about 3 kills before I have to reload.
Gotten all the unlocks except the vehicle one, and knifing is bloody awkward but better than BC1s.
That said, me LordSwift and two of my mates had an awesome last stand moment defending the stretch between Base 1 and Base 2, enemies kept pouring down and my mate was just reviving us every couple of seconds, it was like the last bit in Tears of the Sun.

I'm playing the beta and loving the game so far, although there are a few bugs it still knocks the socks off CoD 6. Oh and a heads up, the name you create with the beta, you keep when the games released.
Edit: Also try forcing it to DX9, some people have reported huge improvements, with high and low end systems, Documents\BFBC2Beta\settings.ini

Definitely faster paced, but less emphasis on vehicles, but also increases the importance of each one, destrucive environment also greatly enhances the battlefield feel.

Granted there is only one map and gameplay type right now, but it feels a bit smaller than BF2. My one gripe about the vehicles is that the Apache isnt as nimble as the helis in BF2. REALLY takes a lot to slow down and turn.

Still loving the game and i think i am getting really good since i tend to be quite high up the leaderboard recently. and Getting 7+ killstreaks. Bring on march. Things that do annoy me:-
People oversniping on the attack team, grrr!!!! rush em people come on This one was really really bugging me tonight :- people getting into helicopters and they cant fly worth a damn. Of course you dont know until its to late. I have gotten rather good at grabbing the chopper and hovering it at a good range from the final base and blasting it to bits tho
@Irida yeah i remember that last stand, rest of our team was **** but our squad was rocking the matches. Make a great team if you dont mind me saying

played a little bit in beta so far and this is my response:
The atmosphere is great sure. But most if not all the servers I've been on has started to give a good amount of ping once you near the max (I've rarely had a problem with this besides when I get on an out of country server).
Along with that, I find myself sometimes in the game underpowered or just useless no matter what class I am playing. I'd spawn as an assault and not find a single guy to fight. I pick an Engineer and cant find a single vehicle to destroy. I suck at medic and recon so I don't usually comment on that. Other times when I spawn, especially when defending, I find myself having trouble finding a fight, I'm running around explosions and gun fire trying to find people to kill without dieing constantly.
The moment you die is when I get an immersion breaker, the respawn delay feels way longer than what it is. And on top of that I don't really give a damn who killed me, the 5-10 seconds spent looking at the guy who killed me could be spent outfitting different weapons on my class.
Along with that I find myself dieing to silly things such as a random grenade, a helicopter flying overhead. I love it when a medic rezes me only to look another guy in the face before he killed me again and made my respawn timer even longer. I've been killed by the guy whom I'm in the middle of a knife animation on, and I've yet to be able to do the same to a person trying to knife me.
So far it feels like any other FPS where I just get ****ed off after dieing several times for stupid reasons. Listening to idiots go at it over team chat, and watching our team sucking horribly, getting rolled at every possible angle.
Maybe it's just cause I played BF2 on the xbox and PC, maybe it's that. I'll keep giving it a chance, but like I said, I'm not impressed so far.
