Sweet, so essically its MW2 within BFBC2 gameplay, not a bad thing. Its nice to see a new gamemode.

i just beat bad company 1 on the 360 and while the lighting, sounds, vehicles and destruction were cool and look even cooler in bc2, theres just something about the mechanics that dont feel solid. mw2 nailed the atmosphere and just the feeling of being in action and being part of the game while the bf series just doesnt have that. i think its just the way the engine works or something. ill still give it a try though

Did you play mp?? If not, your opinion is invalid because the sp was boring . The mp was just as fun as mw1 and 2. Except MW really needs a game mode with fixed spawn locations. It just gets fucking annoying, and there are rarely ever any large constant firefights in mw2.

Gasp! What's this? More BF:BC2 info? Hell yes it is! Oh, and about half way:

Interestingly, EA and DICE have introduced a new feature for the game. Called Realism mode, body parts can be more realistically damaged, and it take fewer shots to make a kill. Friendly fire is on, there is no kill cam, mini map is gone, enemies don't show up with icons, and there is no crosshair. It is a mode for people well beyond my skill level, and the ranking here should help separate the wheat from the chaff.

This would make sense had they not changed the damage from the first game. If they further up the weapon lethality on top of what I experienced in the beta, you're gonna drop guys in 1 or 2 shots. Not sure how I feel about it, unless they really take the location damage all the way...

It's not a mandatory mode. Sounds slightly like Hardcore mode in CoD, which is the only proper way to play that game.

No, but judging from the beta, it's hard to see how they could increase the dmg any further.

It's called realism mode for a reason.

All I'm saying is the jump from standard to Hardcore in MW2 makes sense. BC2's damage model is basically a hardcore version of BC1, I'm wondering how much use a Hardcore mode in BC2 really is.

Pretty sure I'm the only person who played Bad Company anyway

Realism Mode in BC2 = Hardcore Hardcore Mode, that just clicking it gives you hair on your chest!

To be honest I wasn't even thinking about this in a single-player context (unless CoD's higher difficulty can apply to multiplayer too). Being killed in a few shots is pretty much what I'm used to from the PC Battlefield multiplayer games, though.

Neither was I.

I still need to grab the first one (I do want to check out the SP component) but I have to say the "squad deathmatch" mode they just announced sounds absolutely badass.

They promised dedicated servers?

Well look what we get? Only rentable servers from trusted partners, fail.

Don't think this video was posted here.

Looks great, Mazy. Seriously my most anticipated game right now. I'm actually kind of digging the removal of the commander role as now I should be able to do stealth gameplay more effectively rather than being revealed by some shitty satellite scan. Seeing the videos has taken me back to my days of going around Solid Snake style in Battlefield 2.

I've only ever played on Battlefield servers by trusted partners skdr, because they've always been the only ones you can use unlocks on. Fortunately their partner list is pretty extensive so it's very unlikely to significantly limit your playing or choice of provider.

But the PC-beta gets quadbikes! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
